On June 10, the Department of Transportation/Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a second notice to allow response to comments received concerning its intent to revise the gas distribution annual report (Form F7100.1-1) and to improve the granularity of the data collected. A range of changes are being proposed including requiring operators to enter information on the “Type of Operator,” adding types of material to report data on, and new data collection requirements for Excavation Damage.

PHMSA is giving the public another 30 days (deadline of July 30, 2013) to post additional comments. Comments can be submitted via email to OIRA-Submission@omb.eop.gov and reference the docket number PHMSA-2013-0004.
