Abstract: This information collection covers the collection of information from Hazardous Liquid operators. This request is being submitted to OMB to address only revisions to the Hazardous Liquid Accident Forms for Hazardous Liquid operators. To ensure adequate public protection from exposure to potential natural gas and hazardous liquid pipeline failures, PHMSA collects information on reportable natural gas pipeline incidents and hazardous liquid pipeline accidents. Additional information is also obtained concerning the characteristics of an operator’s pipeline system.
