an access roadway and required 

drainage facilities. The request consists 

of a permanent release of land (16.037

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Safety Administration 

[Docket No. PHMSA–2013–0015] 

Pipeline Safety: Accident and Incident 

Notification Time Limit 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA); DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory 

Bulletin. 

SUMMARY: Owners and operators of gas 

and hazardous liquid pipeline systems 

and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities 

are already required to provide 

telephonic reports of pipeline incidents 

and accidents to the National Response 

Center (NRC) promptly, accurately, and 

fully communicate the estimated extent 

of the damages. PHMSA is issuing this 

advisory bulletin to notify the owners 

and operators that, as required by the 

Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, 

and Job Creation Act of 2011, the agency 

will issue a proposed rule to revise 

telephonic reporting regulations to 

establish specific time limits for 

telephonic or electronic notice of 

accidents and incidents involving 

pipeline facilities to the NRC. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Cameron Satterthwaite by phone at 202– 

366–1319 or by email at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On January 3, 2012, President Obama 

signed into law the Pipeline Safety, 

Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation 

Act of 2011 (Pub. L. 112–90). Section 9 

of the Act requires PHMSA to require a 

specific time limit for telephonic or 

electronic reporting of pipeline 

accidents and incidents. Specifically, 

Section 9 of the Act states: 

SEC. 9. ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT 

NOTIFICATION. 

(a) REVISION OF REGULATIONS.— 

Not later than 18 months after the date 

of enactment of this Act, the Secretary 

of Transportation shall revise 

regulations issued under sections 191.5 

and 195.52 of title 49, Code of Federal 

Regulations, to establish specific time 

limits for telephonic or electronic notice 

of accidents and incidents involving 

pipeline facilities to the Secretary and 

the National Response Center. 

(b) MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS.—In 

revising the regulations, the Secretary, 

at a minimum, shall— 

(1) Establish time limits for telephonic 

or electronic notification of an accident 

or incident to require such notification 

at the earliest practicable moment 

following confirmed discovery of an 

accident or incident and not later than 

1 hour following the time of such 

confirmed discovery; 

(2) Review procedures for owners and 

operators of pipeline facilities and the 

National Response Center to provide 

thorough and coordinated notification 

to all relevant State and local emergency 

response officials, including 911 

emergency call centers, for the 

jurisdictions in which those pipeline 

facilities are located in the event of an 

accident or incident, and revise such 

procedures as appropriate; and 

(3) Require such owners and operators 

to revise their initial telephonic or 

electronic notice to the Secretary and 

the National Response Center with an 

estimate of the amount of the product 

released, an estimate of the number of 

fatalities and injuries, if any, and any 

other information determined 

appropriate by the Secretary within 48 

hours of the accident or incident, to the 

extent practicable. 

(c) UPDATING OF REPORTS.—After 

receiving revisions described in 

subsection (b)(3), the National Response 

Center shall update the initial report on 

an accident or incident instead of 

generating a new report. 

Currently, PHMSA requires pipeline 

owners and operators to notify the NRC 

by telephone or electronically at the 

earliest practicable moment following 

discovery (§§ 191.5 and 195.52). In a 

September 6, 2002, (67 FR 57060) 

advisory bulletin, PHMSA advised 

owners and operators of gas and 

hazardous liquids pipeline systems and 

LNG facilities that, ‘‘at the earliest 

practicable opportunity,’’ usually means 

one-to-two hours after discovery of the 

incident. 

Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2013–01) 

To: Owners and Operators of Gas and 

Hazardous Liquids Pipeline Systems 

and LNG Facilities 

Subject: Telephonic Notification Time 

Limit to NRC. 

Purpose: To advise owners and 

operators of gas and hazardous liquids 

pipeline systems and LNG facilities that 

they should contact the NRC within one 

hour of discovery of a pipeline incident 

and should also file additional 

telephonic reports if there are 

significant changes in the number of 

fatalities or injuries, product release 

estimates or the extent of damages. 

Advisory: Owners and operators of gas 

and hazardous liquid pipelines and 

LNG facilities are reminded that the 

pipeline safety regulations already 

require operators to make a telephonic 

report of an incident to the NRC in 

Washington, DC at the earliest 

practicable opportunity (usually one-totwo hours after discovering the 

incident). However, under Section 

9(b)(1) of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory 

Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, 

PHMSA is required to issue regulations 

requiring owners and operators to notify 

the NRC within one hour of discovery 

of a pipeline accident or incident. The 

2011 Act requires PHMSA to establish 

a time limit for telephonic or electronic 

notification of an accident or incident to 

require such notification at the earliest 

practicable moment following 

confirmed discovery of an accident or 

incident that is not later than one hour 

following the time of such confirmed 

discovery. PHMSA will issue a 

proposed rule at a later date, but 

encourages owners and operators of the 

gas and hazardous liquids pipeline 

systems and LNG facilities, as a 

practice, to report such accidents and 

incidents within one hour of confirmed 

discovery. The information required to 

be reported includes the name of the 

operator, the name and telephone 

number of the person making the report,
