SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    The VIS Working Group is an advisory committee established in 
accordance with Section 10 of the Protecting our Infrastructure of 
Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016 (Pub. L. 114-183), the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act of 1972 (5 U.S.C., App. 2, as amended), 
and 41 CFR 102-3.50(a).

II. Meeting Details and Agenda

    The VIS Working Group agenda will include briefings on topics such 
as mandate requirements, integrity management, data types and tools, 
in-line inspection and other direct assessment methods, geographic 
information system implementation, subcommittee considerations, lessons 
learned, examples of existing information-sharing systems, safety 
management systems, and more. As part of its work, the committee will 
ultimately provide recommendations to the Secretary, as required and 
specifically outlined in Section 10 of Public Law 114-183, addressing:

    (a) The need for, and the identification of, a system to ensure 
that dig verification data are shared with in-line inspection operators 
to the extent consistent with the need to maintain proprietary and 
security-sensitive data in a confidential manner to improve pipeline 
safety and inspection technology;
    (b) Ways to encourage the exchange of pipeline inspection 
information and the development of advanced pipeline inspection 
technologies and enhanced risk analysis;
    (c) Opportunities to share data, including dig verification data 
between operators of pipeline facilities and in-line inspector vendors 
to expand knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of the 
different types of in-line inspection technology and methodologies;
    (d) Options to create a secure system that protects proprietary 
data while encouraging the exchange of pipeline inspection information 
and the development of advanced pipeline inspection technologies and 
enhanced risk analysis;
    (e) Means and best practices for the protection of safety and 
security-sensitive information and proprietary information; and
    (f) Regulatory, funding, and legal barriers to sharing the 
information described in paragraphs (a) through (d).
    The Secretary will publish the VIS Working Group's recommendations 
on a publicly available DOT website and in the docket. The VIS Working 
Group will fulfill its purpose once its recommendations are published 
online.
    PHMSA will publish the agenda on the PHMSA meeting page at: https://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/meetings/MtgHome.mtg?mtg=135, once it is 
finalized.
