    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.

    The Metropolitan Council's Metro Transit Division has asked the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for an extension of a waiver from certain federal railroad safety regulations for its METRO Green Line Light Rail Transit Extension Project. This request aims to maintain their existing safety procedures which already comply with other federal standards, despite being potentially different from standard railroad safety regulations. The FRA is inviting public comments on this request until February 25, 2025, and these comments can be submitted online. The FRA does not expect to hold a public hearing but will consider requests for one if submitted within the comment period.

    Simple Explanation

    The people running the Green Line trains in a big city want to keep using their special safety rules instead of following the regular train safety rules. They asked the train safety bosses for permission and are waiting to hear what people think.
