Abstract
On March 25, 2024, PHMSA published a notice in the Federal Register inviting public comments on its intent to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval of changes to PHMSA forms to collect data on the use of rupture mitigation valves, or alternative equivalent technologies, and the blending of hydrogen gas with other natural gases within gas pipelines. In response to a petition, PHMSA is extending the deadline to submit comments.

[Docket No: PHMSA-2022-0085]
Pipeline Safety: Information Collection Activities: Mitigation of
Ruptures on Onshore Gas Transmission and Gathering, Hazardous Liquid,
and Carbon Dioxide Pipeline Segments Using Rupture-Mitigation Valves or
Alternative Equivalent Technologies and Blending of Hydrogen Gas and
Natural Gas within Gas Pipelines
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Notice and extension of comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On March 25, 2024, PHMSA published a notice in the Federal
Register inviting public comments on its intent to request the Office
of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval of changes to PHMSA forms to
collect data on the use of rupture mitigation valves, or alternative
equivalent technologies, and the blending of hydrogen gas with other
natural gases within gas pipelines. In response to a petition, PHMSA is
extending the deadline to submit comments.
DATES: The comment submission deadline for the notice published March
25, 2024 at 89 FR 20751 is extended from May 24, 2024, to June 24,
2024.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 25, 2024, PHMSA published a notice
in the Federal Register (89 FR 20751) inviting public comments on its
intent to request the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB) approval
of changes to existing information collections under OMB control
numbers 2137-0627 (National Registry of Pipeline and LNG Operators),
2137-0635 (Pipeline Operators), 2137-0635 (Incident Reports for Natural
Gas Pipeline Operators), 2137-0629 (Annual Report for Gas Distribution
Operators), 2137-0522 (Annual Reports for Gas Pipeline Operators),
2137-0614 (Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Operator Annual Reports), and
2137-0596 (National Pipeline Mapping Program). The proposed information
collection changes would provide data necessary to demonstrate an
alternative approach to the implementation of Recommendation P-11-11
made by the National Transportation Safety Board and allow PHMSA to
identify trends related to the blending of hydrogen gas and natural gas
within gas pipelines from operator-submitted data. Comments on the
proposed data collection are due on May 24, 2024.
On April 1, 2024, the Interstate Natural Gas Association of
America, the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, the
American Gas Association, the American Petroleum Institute, the
American Public Gas Association, and the GPA Midstream Association (the
Associations) requested PHMSA extend the May 24, 2024, deadline to
submit comments. Specifically, the Associations requested an additional
119 days to provide comments on the information collection proposal.
PHMSA believes the allotted time is sufficient to provide comments
on the proposed changes, however, PHMSA acknowledges the Associations
request for additional time due to them also providing comments on
pending rulemaking actions. PHMSA will extend the comment submission
deadline from May 24, 2024, to June 24, 2024. Consistent with 49 CFR
190.323, PHMSA will consider late-filed comments to the extent
practicable.
Issued in Washington, DC, on April 30, 2024, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.
Alan K. Mayberry,
Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
