SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

    Section 1320.8(d), title 5, Code of Federal Regulations, requires 
PHMSA to provide interested members of the public and affected agencies 
an opportunity to comment on information collection and recordkeeping 
requests. This notice identifies an information collection request that 
PHMSA will be submitting to OMB for minor revision and extension 
approval. The information collection expires July 31, 2015, and is 
identified under OMB Control No. 2137-0047, titled: ``Transportation of 
Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline: Recordkeeping and Accident Reporting.'' 
This information collection addresses general recordkeeping and 
accident reporting requirements for hazardous liquid pipeline operators 
under 49 CFR part 195. The minor revision, as more fully described in 
the February notice, simplifies the instructions for reporting the 
amount of product released when completing form PHMSA F 7000-1 ACCIDENT 
REPORT--HAZARDOUS LIQUID PIPELINE SYSTEMS. This proposed revision to 
the instructions will not increase the hourly burden estimate for this 
information collection.

B. Summary of Comments Received

    During the 60-day comment period, PHMSA received no comments on 
this information collection.

C. Summary of Impacted Collection

collection: (1) Title of the information collection; (2) OMB control 
number; (3) Type of request; (4) Abstract of the information collection 
activity; (5) Description of affected public; (6) Estimate of total 
annual reporting and recordkeeping burden; and (7) Frequency of 
collection. PHMSA will request a three-year term of approval for this 
information collection activity. PHMSA requests comments on the
