# AGENCY:

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

# ACTION:

Notice and request for comments.

# SUMMARY:

                        On October 20, 2014, in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice in the                         **Federal Register**                         (79 FR 62707) inviting comments on two information collections that will be expiring in 2015. PHMSA requests an extension with no change for the information collection identified by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control number 2137-0048. In addition, PHMSA proposed a revision to the information collection identified under OMB control number 2137-0600.
