PHMSA Form Changes Beginning July 1st, 2020

The following forms have been modified per PHMSA’s final rule and will be available via the PHMSA portal on July 1, 2020.

OpID Assignment Request and National Registry Notification
Operators will be able to select HL Gravity and HL Reporting-Regulated when submitting either form.

Hazardous Liquid/CO2 Annual Report
Starting with CY 2020 reports, new parts collect data about HL Gravity and HL Reporting-Regulated pipelines. HL Gravity and reporting-regulated gathering lines are only to be reported as miles in Part K1 and K2, respectively. The gravity-fed and reporting-regulated gathering lines are not to be included in any other parts of the HL Annual Report; however, safety-regulated gathering lines should be reported in all appropriate sections.

Hazardous Liquid Gravity and Reporting-Regulated (GRR) Accident Report
For accidents occurring 7/1/2020 or later, this new form will be available in the PHMSA Portal. HL Gravity and reporting-regulated gathering lines will be required to submit a shortened accident report form similar to the HL Accident Report Form 7000-1. The HL GRR accident report form is only for gravity-fed and report-regulated gathering line accidents. The accident report form requests very similar information on the time, date, location, consequences, cause, and subcause of the accident, but does not include any further questions as to the accident’s cause or subcause.
