BILLING CODE P 

DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

[Docket Number FRA–2009–0086] 

Petition for Waiver of Compliance; 

Notice of Petition for Statutory 

Exemption 

In accordance with 49 U.S.C. 

21102(b), the American Short Line and 

Regional Railroad Association 

(ASLRRA), on behalf of its members, 

has petitioned the Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA) for an exemption 

from certain provisions of the hours of 

service laws (HSL) (49 U.S.C. Chapter 

211). Specifically, ASLRRA has 

requested an exemption from the 

requirements of 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(1) 

and 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4)(a) for certain 

of its member railroads that have 15 or 

less employees covered by the HSL. 

ASLRRA notes that its petition for 

exemption in this docket is related to its 

waiver petition in Docket Number FRA– 

2009–0078, except that its exemption 

request is limited to certain member 

railroads that have 15 or less employees 

covered by the HSL. In its waiver 

petition, ASLRRA seeks a waiver of the 

statutory requirement contained in 49 

U.S.C. 21103(a)(1), limiting train 

employees to 276 hours per calendar 

month for member railroads’ 

management employees who perform 

limited service as train employees for 

not more than 25% of their monthly 

hours in the service to the railroads. In 

its waiver petition, ASLRRA also seeks 

relief from 49 U.S.C. 21103(a)(4)(a), 

which requires railroads to provide train 

employees 48 hours of rest after an 

employee has initiated an on-duty 

period on 6 consecutive days and 72 

hours of rest after an employee has 

initiated an on-duty period on 7 

consecutive days. In its petition for 

exemption in this docket, ASLRRA 

further notes that the railroads that are 

the subject of its exemption request are 

the ‘‘smallest of the small railroads.’’ 

ASLRRA further expresses the view that 

in 49 U.S.C. 21102(b), ‘‘Congress granted 

FRA the broad power simply to exempt 

these small carriers’’ from the HSL. The 

entire ASLRRA petition may be 

reviewed online at http:// 

www.regulations.gov under Docket 

Number FRA–2009–0086. 

As ASLRRA notes in its petition, 49 

U.S.C. 21102(b) provides that the 

Secretary of Transportation (Secretary) 

may, with certain limitations, exempt a 

railroad carrier having not more than 15 

employees covered by the HSL from the 

requirements of Chapter 211. 

Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 21102(b) 

provides that the Secretary may allow 

the exemption after a full hearing, for 

good cause shown, and on deciding that 

the exemption is in the public interest 

and will not affect safety adversely. The 

exemption must be for a specific period 

of time and subject to review at least 

annually. This authority is delegated to 

FRA pursuant to 49 CFR 1.49. 

Interested parties are invited to 

participate in these proceedings by 

submitting written views, data, or 

comments. FRA does not anticipate 

scheduling a public hearing in 

connection with these proceedings, 

however, if any interested party desires 

an opportunity for oral comment, they 

should notify FRA, in writing, before 

the end of the comment period and FRA 

will provide such an opportunity.

proceedings should identify the

[Docket No. PHMSA–2008–0211] 

Pipeline Safety: Implementation of 

Revised Incident/Accident Report 

Forms for Distribution Systems, Gas 

Transmission and Gathering Systems, 

and Hazardous Liquid Systems 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory 

Bulletin. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises owners 

and operators of gas pipeline facilities 

and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities 

that the incident/accident report forms 

for their pipeline systems were recently 

revised and should be used for all 

incidents and accidents occurring on or 

after January 1, 2010.

Manager, 202–366–0218 or by e-mail at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 

Safety Administration (PHMSA) 

requires that an operator of a covered 

pipeline facility file a written report 

within 30 days of certain adverse 

events, defined by regulation as either

1Reportable events are referred to as ‘‘incidents’’ 

for gas pipelines, 49 CFR 191.3, and ‘‘accidents’’ for 

hazardous liquid pipelines, 49 CFR 195.50. An 

operator may also be required to file a supplemental 

report in certain circumstances. 

an incident or accident, 49 CFR 191.1– 

191.27, 195.48–195.63 (2008).1 PHMSA 

further requires that those reports be 

submitted to the agency on one of three 

standardized forms: (1) PHMSA Form F 

7100.1, Incident Report—Gas 

Distribution Pipelines, (2) PHMSA Form 

F 7100.2, Incident Report—Gas 

Transmission and Gathering Systems, 

and (3) PHMSA Form F 7000–1— 

Accident Report for Hazardous Liquid 

Pipeline Systems. PHMSA uses the 

information collected from these forms 

to identify trends in the occurrence of 

safety-related problems, to appropriately 

target its performance of risk-based 

inspections, and to assess the overall 

efficacy of its regulatory program. 

PHMSA published a Federal Register 

notice on September 4, 2008 (73 FR 

51697) inviting public comment on a 

proposal to revise the incident/accident 

report forms. PHMSA stated that the 

proposed revisions were needed to 

make the information collected more 

useful to all those concerned with 

pipeline safety and to provide 

additional, and in some instances more 

detailed, data for use in the 

development and enforcement of its 

risk-based regulatory program. PHMSA 

published a subsequent Federal 

Register notice on October 30, 2008 (73 

FR 64661) to extend the comment 

period to December 12, 2008. 

On August 17, 2009, PHMSA 

published a Federal Register notice (74 

FR 41496) to respond to comments, 

provide the public with an additional 30 

days to comment on the proposed 

revisions to the incident/accident report 

forms, including the form instructions, 

and announce that the revised 

Information Collections would be 

submitted to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for approval. Several 

comments were received in response to 

the August 17, 2009, notice. PHMSA 

reviewed the comments and revised the 

forms as applicable. 

PHMSA has recently received OMB 

approval to use the newly revised forms 

that are incorporated under OMB 

Control No. 2137–0522, ‘‘Incident and 

Annual Reports for Gas Pipeline 

Operators’’ and OMB Control No. 2137– 

0047, ‘‘Transportation of Hazardous 

Liquids by Pipeline: Recordkeeping and 

Accident Reporting.’’ The revised forms 

reflect comments that were received 

throughout the notice and comment 

periods. These forms should be used for 

all incidents/accidents that have 

occurred on or after January 1, 2010. 

Advisory Bulletin (ADB–2010–01) 

To: Owners and Operators of Gas 

Pipeline Facilities and Hazardous 

Liquid Pipeline Facilities. 

Subject: Implementation of PHMSA‘s 

Revised Incident/Accident Report 

Forms for Gas Distribution Systems, Gas 

Transmission and Gathering Systems, 

and Hazardous Liquid Systems. 

Advisory: This notice advises owners 

and operators of gas pipeline facilities 

and hazardous liquid pipeline facilities 

that the incident/accident report forms 

for their pipeline systems were recently 

revised and should be used for all 

incidents/accidents occurring on or after 

January 1, 2010. Until PHMSA 

completes development of a new 

electronic online data entry system for 

the new forms (approximately March 1, 

2010) operators should file hard copy 

forms for incidents/accidents occurring 

on or after January 1, 2010. Copies of the 

new forms and instructions are available 

at http://phmsa.dot.gov/pipeline/ 

library/forms or http:// 

opsweb.phmsa.dot.gov/. Hard copy 

forms should be submitted to the 

attention of the Information Resources 

Manager at the address listed in the 

instructions. As an alternative, 

completed forms that include signatures 

may be submitted to the Information 

Resources Manager by e-mail to

questions regarding this new 

requirement can be directed to the
