SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Due to the receipt of adverse comment, PHMSA
is withdrawing the DFR titled ``Property Damage Definition for Incident
Reporting on Gas Pipelines and Accidents on Hazardous Liquid
Pipelines,'' which published on July 1, 2025 (90 FR 28050). PHMSA
stated in that DFR that if PHMSA received adverse comment by September
2, 2025, the DFR would not take effect and PHMSA would publish a timely
withdrawal in the Federal Register.
[[Page 47621]]
Because PHMSA subsequently received adverse comment on that DFR, PHMSA
is withdrawing the DFR. In accordance with PHMSA's procedures at 49 CFR
190.339 for direct final rulemaking, the Administrator may incorporate
the adverse comment into a subsequent DFR or may publish a notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM). An NPRM would provide an opportunity for
public comment and will be processed in accordance with 49 CFR 190.311
through 190.329.
