PHMSA Information Collection on Excess Flow Valve

[Docket No. PHMSA–2012–0086]

PHMSA is seeking comments on a new one-time Information Collection on Excess Flow Valves (EFVs). The collection involves a census of gas operators to gather data on operators’ experiences, practices, benefits, and costs associated with the use of EFVs. To comply with Congress’s recent mandate and address NTSB’s prior safety recommendation, PHMSA needs comprehensive data on the operations, costs, and benefits of EFVs, as well as information on how those operations, costs, and benefits may vary for other customer classification service lines (in addition to single family residence service lines). This information collection will provide the data necessary to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of EFVs for different customer classification service lines. PHMSA is proposing to use an online census for this information collection. A copy of the census will be placed in the docket for comment.

Submit comments on or before July 16, 2012 via the E-Gov Web Site and Reference Docket No. PHMSA–2012–0086.
