ACTION: Notice of OMB approval.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 
(PHMSA) Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) is announcing OMB approval of 
the annual report for Underground Natural Gas Storage Facilities.

DATES: Operators should submit the first annual report form for the 
2017 calendar year by March 15, 2018.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Crystal Stewart, Program Analyst, 
Office of Pipeline Safety Operations Systems Division, at 202-366-1524

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PHMSA regulations at 49 CFR 191.17 require 
each operator of an underground natural gas storage facility to submit 
an annual report on DOT PHMSA Form 7100.4-1 by March 15, for the 
preceding calendar year, except that the first annual report must be 
submitted by July 18, 2017. PHMSA extended the due date for the 
submission of the first annual report, as stipulated in PHMSA's posting 
on its Web page (https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/underground-storage-annual-report-submission-extension). This annual report, originally required 
by July 18, 2017, would have captured data for the 2016 calendar year. 
PHMSA is revising the date of the first submission of the annual 
report. The first annual report now will be due on March 15, 2018, and 
will collect reported information for the 2017 calendar year.
    OPS will post this information and further filing instructions on 
OPS's Web site at http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 26, 2017, under authority 
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.
