SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 renewal and extension. The 

information collection expires March 

31, 2011, and is identified under 

Control No. 2137–0618, titled: ‘‘Pipeline 

Safety: Periodic Underwater 

Inspection.’’ As detailed in 49 CFR 

192.612 and 195.413, PHMSA requires 

each operator of a natural gas or 

hazardous liquid pipeline in the Gulf of 

Mexico and its inlets to periodically 

inspect its pipelines in waters less than 

15 feet (4.6 meters) deep as measured 

from mean low water that are at risk of 

being an exposed underwater pipeline 

or a hazard to navigation. If an operator 

discovers that its pipeline is an exposed 

underwater pipeline or poses a hazard 

to navigation, the operator must 

promptly report the location and, if 

available, the geographic coordinates of 

that pipeline to the National Response 

Center. The following information is 

provided for this information 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 

following information collection: 

Title: Pipeline Safety: Periodic 

Underwater Inspections. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0618. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: The Federal pipeline safety 

regulations (49 CFR parts 190–199) 

require operators to conduct appropriate 

underwater inspections in the Gulf of 

Mexico. If an operator finds that its 

pipeline is exposed on the seabed floor 

or constitutes a hazard to navigation, the 

operator must contact the National 

Response Center by telephone within 24 

hours of discovery to report the location 

of the exposed pipeline. 

Affected Public: Operators of 

underwater pipeline facilities. 

Estimated number of responses: 82. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 1,312 

hours. 

Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

Comments are invited on: 

(a) The need for the proposed 

collection of information for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

agency, including whether the 

information will have practical utility; 

(b) The accuracy of the agency’s 

estimate of the burden of the proposed 

collection of information, including the 

validity of the methodology and 

assumptions used; 

(c) Ways to enhance the quality, 

utility, and clarity of the information to 

be collected; and 

(d) Ways to minimize the burden of 

the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including the use 

of appropriate automated, electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques.

[Docket ID PHMSA–2010–0323] 

Pipeline Safety: Random Drug Testing 

Rate 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of minimum annual 

percentage rate for random drug testing. 

SUMMARY: PHMSA has determined that 

the minimum random drug testing rate 

for covered employees will remain at 25 

percent during calendar year 2011. 

DATES: Effective January 1, 2011, 

through December 31, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Stanley Kastanas, Program Manager, 

Substance Abuse Prevention Program, 

PHMSA, U.S. Department of 

Transportation, telephone 202–550– 

0629 or e-mail 

stanley.kastanas@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Operators 

of gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon 

dioxide pipelines and operators of 

liquefied natural gas facilities must 

select and test a percentage of covered 

employees for random drug testing. 

Pursuant to 49 CFR 199.105(c)(2), (3), 

and (4), the PHMSA Administrator’s 

decision on whether to change the 

minimum annual random drug testing 

rate is based on the reported random 

drug test positive rate for the pipeline 

industry. The data considered by the 

Administrator comes from operators’ 

annual submissions of Management 

Information System (MIS) reports 

required by 49 CFR 199.119(a). If the 

reported random drug test positive rate 

is less than one percent, the 

Administrator may continue the 

minimum random drug testing rate at 25 

percent. In 2009, the random drug test 

positive rate was less than one percent. 

Therefore, the minimum random drug 

testing rate will remain at 25 percent for 

calendar year 2011. 

On January 19, 2010, PHMSA 

published an Advisory Bulletin (75 FR 

2926) implementing the annual 

collection of contractor MIS drug and 

alcohol testing data. All applicable 

§ 199.119 (drug testing) and § 199.229 

(alcohol testing) MIS reporting operators 

are responsible for the submission of all 

contractor MIS reports to PHMSA, as 

well as their own, by March 15, 2011. 

Contractors with employees in safetysensitive positions who performed, as 

defined in § 199.3 of 49 CFR part 199, 

covered functions, must submit these 

reports only through the auspices of 

each operator for whom these covered 

employees performed those covered 

functions (i.e., maintenance, operations 

or emergency response). 

Authority: 49 U.S.C. 5103, 60102, 60104, 

60108, 60117, and 60118; 49 CFR 1.53.
