13388 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 44 / Tuesday, March 6, 2012 / Notices 

The areas of degradation are not 

always consistent in their 

characteristics. The degradation may not 

occur along the complete pipe length, 

but rather may start and stop within a 

relatively short section of pipe and then 

reoccur in another area further down the 

segment. In addition, the operator and 

manufacturer have observed instances 

of degradation on only one side of the 

pipe with the other side having no 

indication of degradation. 

The root cause of the degradation has 

not been determined. All reported cases 

have occurred in the southwestern 

United States where average ambient 

temperatures are very high, but this may 

or may not be a contributing factor. The 

manufacturer does not have evidence 

that the degraded pipe condition 

developed from or as a result of the 

manufacturing process. The 

manufacturer does not believe the issue 

to be associated with a particular resin 

lot. While a review of records has 

identified some changes in the resin 

formulation during the time period, the 

manufacturer does not believe that these 

changes contributed to the issue. The 

reporting operators have not identified 

any other construction or installation 

practices or conditions that are common 

to the known occurrences of degraded 

pipe. 

PHMSA has asked the manufacturer 

to describe the problem and its extent 

and has requested information related to 

manufacturing, construction practices, 

and testing recommendations. Those 

questions and responses, along with 

pictures of degraded pipe, are available 

on the docket associated with this 

advisory. 

The manufacturer is communicating 

with known customers, regulators, and 

industry groups as new information 

becomes available and the operators 

with known cases of degraded pipe 

continue to communicate with the 

appropriate regulatory authorities. 

II. Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2012–03) 

To: Operators using Driscopipe® 8000 

High Density Polyethylene Pipe. 

Subject: Potential for Material 

Degradation of Driscopipe® 8000. 

Advisory: PHMSA advises all 

operators using Driscopipe® 8000 of the 

potential for material degradation. 

PHMSA encourages operators to 

communicate and work with the 

manufacturer and their respective 

regulatory authorities to consider and 

implement any actions that are needed 

to address the issue as it relates to their 

systems. 

Operators using Drisco8000 pipe who 

have not already received 

communications from the manufacturer 

are encouraged to contact the 

manufacturer so they can receive future 

updates and determine whether their 

systems are susceptible to degradation. 

For additional information, contact 

Karen S. Lively, P.E, Technical 

Manager, Performance Pipe, a division 

of Chevron Phillips Chemical Company 

LP, by phone at 972–599–7413 or email 

at livelks@cpchem.com. Operators using 

Drisco8000 pipe are encouraged to 

inform the relevant regulatory authority 

and work together to determine what, if 

any, actions are needed to monitor and 

address the issue within their systems. 

Due to the uncertainty of the root 

cause of the material degradation, 

PHMSA cannot provide specific 

guidance on how best to address the 

issue. However, PHMSA urges all 

operators using Drisco8000 pipe to 

consider the use of accelerated and 

more frequent leak surveys in those 

areas where degraded pipe is known or 

suspected to exist. 

All operators using Drisco8000 pipe 

are encouraged to work with all 

stakeholders to determine how to 

address discovery and repair within 

their systems, taking the most 

conservative approach and keeping 

pipeline integrity and public safety a 

priority.

BILLING CODE 4810–04–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Internal Revenue Service 

Art Advisory Panel of the 

Commissioner of Internal Revenue 

AGENCY: Internal Revenue Service, 

Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice of determination of 

necessity for renewal of the Art 

Advisory Panel. 

SUMMARY: It is in the public interest to 

continue the existence of the Art 

Advisory Panel. The current charter of 

the Art Advisory panel will be renewed 

for a period of two years. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Ruth Vriend, C:AP:P&V:ART, 1099 14th 

Street NW., Room 4200E, Washington, 

DC 20005, Telephone No. (202) 435– 

5739 (not a toll free number). 

Pursuant to the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act, 5 U.S.C. App. (2000), 

the Commissioner of Internal Revenue 

announces the renewal of the following 

advisory committee: 

Title. The Art Advisory Panel of the 

Commissioner of Internal Revenue. 

Purpose. The Panel assists the 

Internal Revenue Service by reviewing 

and evaluating the acceptability of 

property appraisals submitted by 

taxpayers in support of the fair market 

value claimed on works of art involved 

in Federal Income, Estate or Gift taxes 

in accordance with sections 170, 2031, 

and 2512 of the Internal Revenue Code 

of 1986. 

In order for the Panel to perform this 

function, Panel records and discussions 

must include tax return information. 

Therefore, the Panel meetings will be 

closed to the public since all portions of 

the meetings will concern matters that 

are exempted from disclosure under the 

provisions of section 552b(c)(3), (4), (6) 

and (7) of Title 5 of the U.S. Code. This 

determination, which is in accordance 

with section 10(d) of the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act, is necessary to 

protect the confidentiality of tax returns 

and return information as required by 

section 6103 of the Internal Revenue 

code. 

Statement of Public Interest. It is in 

the public interest to continue the 

existence of the Art Advisory Panel. The 

Secretary of Treasury, with the 

concurrence of the General Services 

Administration, has also approved 

renewal of the Panel. The membership 

of the Panel is balanced between 

museum directors and curators, art 

dealers and auction representatives to 

afford differing points of view in 

determining fair market value. 

Authority for this Panel will expire 

two years from the date the Charter is 

approved by the Assistant Secretary for 

Management and Chief Financial Officer 

and filed with the appropriate 

congressional committees unless, prior 

to the expiration of its Charter, the Panel 

is renewed. 

The Commissioner of Internal 

Revenue has determined that this 

document is not a major rule as defined 

in Executive Order 12291 and that a 

regulatory impact analysis therefore is 

not required. Neither does this 

document constitute a rule subject to
