workers’ wages represent 70.3% of total 

labor compensation costs. Therefore, 

NHTSA estimates the hourly labor costs 

to be $47.55. NHTSA estimates the total 

opportunity cost associated with the 

1033 burden hours to be $49,119.15. 

Annual burden cost is estimated to be 

$16,373.05, and annual burden hours is 

estimated to be 347. There may be a 

slight variation in the comparison of 

total to annual burden over the three 

years due to rounding. The annual 

burden figures will be those represented 

in ROCIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Meeting Agenda 

The Committees will meet virtually 

on Thursday, January 16, 2025, to 

discuss the ‘‘Periodic Standards Update 

II’’ NPRM that PHMSA published in the 

Federal Register on August 29, 2022, 

(87 FR 52713),1 and the ‘‘Cost Recovery 

for Siting Reviews for LNG Facilities’’ 

NPRM that PHMSA published in the 

Federal Register on August 19, 2024, 

(89 FR 67040).2 The Committees will 

review the NPRMs and their associated 

regulatory analyses, including, but not 

limited to, the preamble discussions of 

the proposals within each NPRM; 

regulatory impact analyses; 

environmental assessments; and other 

materials pertaining to the NPRMs 

provided in the respective public 

dockets. The committees will discuss 

the Cost Recovery for Siting Reviews for 

LNG facilities NPRM first. While the 

meeting is scheduled from 10:30 a.m. to 

6:00 p.m. EST, the Committees may 

complete their review of the proposed 

rules before or after 6:00 p.m. EST. 

PHMSA will post additional details on 

the meeting website in advance of the 

meeting as they become available. 

In the ‘‘Periodic Standards Update II’’ 

NPRM, PHMSA proposes amendments 

that would incorporate by reference all 

or parts of updated editions of some of 

those standards. The NPRM also 

proposes non-substantive edits and 

clarifications to certain other provisions 

of the federal pipeline safety 

regulations. 

In the ‘‘Cost Recovery for Siting 

Reviews for LNG Facilities’’ NPRM, 

PHMSA proposes a new fee for cost 

recovery for siting reviews of liquefied 

natural gas (LNG) facility project 

applications where the design and 

construction costs total $2.5 billion or 

more. This proposed rule is necessary to 

implement section 103 of the Protecting 

our Infrastructure of Pipelines and 

Enhancing Safety Act of 2020 (PIPES 

Act of 2020), and to help provide 

adequate resources for siting reviews to 

promote PHMSA’s public safety and 

environmental protection objectives. 

This proposed rule also revises current 

regulations authorizing PHMSA’s cost 

recovery for design safety reviews of 

gas, hazardous liquid, and carbon 

dioxide pipeline facilities to improve 

the clarity of the regulations and reduce 

unnecessary administrative burdens. 

Following the LPAC and GPAC 

meeting, PHMSA will evaluate the 

Committees’ recommendations and 

publish final rules that address the 

comments received and relevant 

information from the meeting report. 

II. Background 

The Committees are statutorily 

mandated advisory committees that 

provide PHMSA and the Secretary of 

Transportation with recommendations 

on proposed standards for the 

transportation of hazardous liquid and 

gas by pipelines. The Committees were 

established in accordance with 49 

U.S.C. 60115 and the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. Ch. 10) 

to review PHMSA’s regulatory 

initiatives and determine their technical 

feasibility, reasonableness, costeffectiveness, and practicability. Each 

committee consists of 15 members, with 

membership evenly divided among 

federal and state governments, regulated 

industry, and the general public. 

III. Public Participation 

The meeting will be open to the 

public. Members of the public who wish 

to attend must register on the meeting 

website and include their names and 

affiliations. PHMSA will provide 

members of the public reasonable 

opportunity to make a statement during 

this meeting. Additionally, PHMSA will 

record the meeting and post a record to 

the public docket. PHMSA is committed 

to providing all participants with equal 

access to this meeting. Public comments 

on the proceedings of the LPAC and 

GPAC meeting must be submitted by 

February 20, 2025. 

PHMSA is not always able to publish 

a notice in the Federal Register quickly 

enough to provide timely notice 

regarding last-minute issues that impact 

a previously announced advisory 

committee meeting. Therefore, 

individuals should check the meeting 

website or contact Joe Berry regarding 

any possible changes.
