August 2021 CAFE NPRM, 6 NHTSA 

proposed changes to its new reporting 

and credit templates as well as 

established a new standardized template 

to collect information on the monetary 

and non-monetary costs of credit trades. 

NHTSA has identified a series of 

monetary and non-monetary factors 

which it believes to be important to the 

costs associated with credit trading in 

the CAFE program which predicated the 

development of its new credit value 

template.7 The agency believes this 

information will allow for a better 

assessment of the true costs of 

compliance. NHTSA further notes that 

greater government oversight is needed 

over the CAFE credit market and it 

needs to understand the full range of 

complexity in transactions, monetary 

and non-monetary, in addition to the 

range of partnerships and cooperative 

agreements between credit account 

holders—which may impact the price of 

credit trades.8 NHTSA proposed that 

manufacturers should start using both 

credit templates starting September 1, 

2022. Note, the credit value template is 

available for download through the PIC 

located at: https://one.nhtsa.gov/cafe_

pic/home—see ‘‘Light Duty Templates: 

NHTSA CAFE Credit Value Reporting 

Template’’. 

In the August 2021 rulemaking, 

NHTSA also committed to demonstrate 

its templates through a workshop 

designed to give manufacturers an open 

forum for communicating directly with 

the agency.

information collection activities. 

PHMSA requests comments on the 

following information: 

1. Title: Response Plans for Onshore 

Oil Pipelines. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0589. 

Current Expiration Date: 6/30/2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Title 49 CFR part 194 

requires an operator of an onshore oil 

pipeline facility to prepare and submit 

an oil spill response plan to PHMSA for 

review and approval. This mandatory 

recordkeeping requirement details 

operators’ plans to prepare for 

emergency situations involving oil 

spills. This mandatory information 

collection is used by PHMSA to 

determine if an operator is compliant 

with the requirements in part 194. Plans 

are submitted and/or updated annually. 

This information collection covers 

operators’ submission of facility 

response plans for onshore hazardous 

liquid pipeline facilities. 

Affected Public: Operators of onshore 

oil pipeline facilities. 

Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Burden: 

Total Annual Responses: 540. 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 73,980. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

2. Title: Pipeline Integrity 

Management in High Consequence 

Areas Gas Transmission Pipeline 

Operators. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0610. 

Current Expiration Date: 6/30/2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: This mandatory information 

collection request pertains to gas 

transmission operators that are required 

to comply with PHMSA’s Gas 

Transmission Integrity Management 

Program regulations. The information 

collection requires gas transmission 

operators in high consequence areas to 

maintain a written integrity 

management program and keep records 

that demonstrate compliance with 49 

CFR part 192, subpart O. Operators must 

maintain their integrity management 

records for the life of the pipeline, and 

PHMSA and/or state regulators may 

review those records as a part of 

inspections. Gas transmission operators 

are also required to report to PHMSA 

certain actions related to their integrity 

management program. This information 

collection supports DOT’s strategic goal 

of safety by reducing the number of 

incidents in natural gas transmission 

pipelines. 

Affected Public: Gas transmission 

operators. 

Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping 

Burden: 

Estimated number of responses: 733. 

Estimated annual burden hours: 

1,018,807. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

3. Title: Control Room Management 

Human Factors. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0624. 

Current Expiration Date: 6/30/2022. 

Type of Request: Renewal of a 

currently approved information 

collection. 

Abstract: Operators of gas and 

hazardous liquid pipelines must 

develop, implement, and submit a 

human factors management plan 

designed to reduce risks associated with 

human factors in each control room. 

The information is used by PHMSA to 

determine compliance with federal 

pipeline safety regulations and is also 

used by agency and state officials to 

assist federal and state pipeline safety 

inspectors who audit this information 

when they conduct compliance 

inspections as well as to provide 

background for failure investigations. 

Affected Public: Operators of natural 

gas and hazardous liquid pipelines. 

Estimated number of responses:

Type of Request: Renewal with no 

change of a currently approved 

information collection. 

Abstract: This information collection 

covers the reporting and recordkeeping 

requirements for gas pipeline operators 

associated with customer notifications 

pertaining to the installation of excess 

flow valves. Gas pipeline operators must 

notify customers of their right to request 

the installation of excess flow valves 

and keep records of those notifications. 

This information collection includes 

example of language that can be used to 

notify natural gas customers of their 

right to request the installation of an 

excess flow valve pursuant to 

§ 192.383(d). Use of the language is 

voluntary but would comply with 

federal regulatory requirements.
