The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is inviting the public to comment on its information collection activities in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The request includes reviewing eight collections related to pipeline safety, which concern topics like pipeline operator identification, training qualifications, integrity management, public awareness programs, and response plans for oil spills. PHMSA is seeking comments on the necessity of these collections, the accuracy of the burden estimates, and ways to reduce the burden of collection. Comments should be submitted by January 27, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration wants people to share their thoughts about rules for keeping pipelines safe and how these rules are checked. They want to know if the rules are needed, if the time it takes to follow them is right, and how to make doing these things easier.
