food restaurants, and other types of sites 

frequented by children during the time 

in which the survey is conducted. 

Form Number: NHTSA Form 1010. 

Abstract: The National Survey of the 

Use of Booster Seats is being conducted 

to respond to the Section 14(i) of the 

Transportation Recall Enhancement, 

Accountability, and Documentation 

(TREAD) Act of 2000. The act directs 

the Department of Transportation to 

reduce the deaths and injuries among 

children in the 4 to 8 year old age group 

that are caused by failure to use a 

booster seat by 25%. Conducting the 

National Survey of the Use of Booster 

Seats provides the Department with 

invaluable information on who is and is 

not using booster seats, helping the 

Department better direct its outreach 

programs to ensure that children are 

protected to the greatest degree possible 

when they ride in motor vehicles. The 

OMB approval for this survey is 

scheduled to expire on July 31, 2009. 

NHTSA seeks an extension to this 

approval in order to obtain this 

important survey data, saving more 

children and helping to comply with the 

TREAD Act requirement. 

Estimated Annual Burden: 320 hours. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

Approximately 4,800 adult motorists in 

passenger vehicles at gas stations, fast 

food restaurants, and other types of sites 

frequented by children during the time 

in which the survey is conducted. 

Comments are invited on: Whether 

the proposed collection of information 

is necessary for the proper performance 

of the functions of the Department, 

including whether the information will 

have practical utility; the accuracy of 

the Department’s estimate of the burden 

of the proposed information collection; 

ways to enhance the quality, utility and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and ways to minimize the 

burden of the collection of information 

on respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology.

[Docket ID PHMSA–2009–0060] 

Pipeline Safety: Workshop on New 

Pipeline Construction 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of workshop. 

SUMMARY: Recent new pipeline 

construction inspections by PHMSA 

have identified issues regarding 

procedures and inspection of pipeline 

coating, welding, and general pipeline 

construction practices. Many of the 

issues required immediate response 

from operators to avoid impacting long 

term pipeline integrity before the 

pipeline was put into service. PHMSA 

is leading a workshop cosponsored by 

the National Association of Pipeline 

Safety Representatives (NAPSR), the 

Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 

(FERC), and the Canadian National 

Energy Board (NEB), on new pipeline 

construction in established rights-ofway to allow stakeholders of the 

pipeline safety community to learn 

about and discuss these construction 

issues and current practices used to 

resolve issues and ensure pipeline 

safety. 

DATES: The workshop will be held on 

April 23, 2009. Name badge pick-up and 

on-site registration will be available 

starting at 7:30 a.m. with the workshop 

taking place from 8 a.m. until 

approximately 5 p.m.. Refer to the

Issue Description: The pipeline 

industry is experiencing unparalleled 

growth driven by the need to satisfy the 

Nation’s energy demand and bring new 

sources of supply to the market. In the 

conduct of its oversight of these 

increased activities, PHMSA inspections 

of new pipeline projects have 

13310 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 57 / Thursday, March 26, 2009 / Notices 

discovered a number of issues that 

could have a clear impact on the 

integrity of the pipeline. 

During the 2008 pipeline construction 

season, PHMSA inspectors discovered 

issues requiring immediate operator 

remediation prior to the pipeline being 

placed in service or requiring pressure 

reduction to assure pipeline integrity. 

Issues discovered during PHMSA 

inspections included poor quality 

control and procedures for welding, 

coating, and materials; as well as 

inadequate operator inspection and 

general construction practices. PHMSA 

developed this workshop in 

collaboration with our State partners, 

FERC and NEB to inform the public, 

alert the industry, review lessons 

learned from inspections, and to 

improve new pipeline construction 

practices prior to the 2009 construction 

season. 

Due to time constraints, this 

workshop will focus solely on natural 

gas transmission and hazardous liquid 

pipelines being constructed on 

established rights-of-way and will not 

include discussion on property rights, 

permitting or siting issues. 

Preliminary Workshop Agenda 

The workshop will include: 

(1) Quality Control and Inspection, 

(2) Welding, 

(3) Coating, 

(4) Materials, and 

(5) Best practices for pipeline 

construction.
