4. Additional Considerations 

In an October 7 letter, the Office of 

Pipeline Safety’s Central Region office 

requested additional information to 

assist in evaluation of DEGT’s waiver 

request: 

Information on the timing of the class 

location change;

• Information demonstrating the 

condition of the pipeline coating; 

• The results of depth of cover 

surveys; 

• Description of any failures that 

occurred during hydrostatic testing; 

• The results of in-line inspections; 

and 

• Activities to address potential 

integrity issues associated with the 

hydrogen induced damage at hard spots 

after the November 2, 2003, failure on 

Line 15 in Kentucky. 

This letter and any responses from 

DEGT will be placed in the docket for 

this Federal waiver request. 

In addition, as part of its 

consideration of DEGT’s waiver request, 

RSPA/OPS will also consider the 

cause(s) and contributing factor(s) to the 

November 2, 2003, failure of DEGT’s 

Line 15 near the Owingsville 

Compressor Station in Bath County, 

Kentucky. The pipe used in Line 15 in 

Bath County, Kentucky and Line 15 in 

Scioto County, Ohio, were both 

manufactured by A.O. Smith and are of 

the same vintage.

and/or continuing information 

collections, as required by the

Public Law 104–13 (44 U.S.C.

From an Electing Large Partnership 

(Schedule K–1 (Form 1065–B)). 

OMB Number: 1545–1626.

Schedule K–1 (Form 1065–B). 

Abstract: Internal Revenue Code

elect to file a simplified return which 

requires fewer items to be reported to 

partners. Form 1065–B is used for this 

purpose. 

Current Actions: There are no changes 

being made to the form at this time. 

Type of Review: Extension of a 

currently approved collection. 

Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations and farms. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

100. 

Estimated Time Per Respondent:

Varies. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden 

Hours: 470,332. 

The following paragraph applies to all 

of the collections of information covered 

by this notice: 

An agency may not conduct or

respond to, a collection of information 

unless the collection of information 

displays a valid OMB control number. 

Books or records relating to a collection 

of information must be retained as long 

as their contents may become material 

in the administration of any internal 

revenue law. Generally, tax returns and 

tax return information are confidential, 

as required by 26 U.S.C. 6103. 

Request for Comments: Comments 

submitted in response to this notice will 

be summarized and/or included in the 

request for OMB approval. All 

comments will become a matter of

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information shall have practical utility;

of the burden of the collection of 

information; (c) ways to enhance the 

quality, utility, and clarity of the 

information to be collected; (d) ways to 

minimize the burden of the collection of 

information on respondents, including

technology; and (e) estimates of capital
