Pipeline Safety: Emergency 

Preparedness Communications 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA); DOT. 

ACTION: Notice; Issuance of Advisory 

Bulletin. 

SUMMARY: PHMSA is issuing an 

Advisory Bulletin to remind operators 

of gas and hazardous liquid pipeline 

facilities that they must make their 

pipeline emergency response plans 

available to local emergency response 

officials. PHMSA recommends that 

operators provide their emergency 

response plans to officials through their 

required liaison and public awareness 

activities. PHMSA intends to evaluate 

the extent to which operators have 

provided their emergency plans to local 

emergency officials when PHMSA 

performs future inspections for 

compliance with liaison and public 

awareness code requirements.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

Federal regulations for both gas and 

hazardous liquid pipelines require 

operators to have written procedures for 

responding to emergencies involving 

their pipeline facility. Because pipelines 

are often located in public space, the 

regulations further require that 

operators include procedures for 

planning with emergency and other 

public officials to ensure a coordinated 

response. Under 49 CFR 192.605, 

192.615, and 195.402, operators must 

include in their emergency plans 

provisions for coordinating with 

appropriate fire, police, and other 

public officials both preplanned drills 

and actual responses to pipeline 

emergencies. Operators must also 

establish and maintain liaison with the 

emergency officials to, among other 

things, acquaint the officials and the 

operator with their respective 

responsibilities and resources in 

planning for and responding to 

emergencies. 

Under §§ 192.616 and 195.440, 

operators must also develop and 

implement a written continuing public 

education program that follows the 

American Petroleum Institute’s (API) 

Recommended Practice (RP) 1162. 

Incorporated by reference, API RP 1162 

further requires operators to develop 

their emergency response plans with 

appropriate emergency officials to 

include in such plans information about 

how emergency officials can access the 

operator’s emergency response plan, 

and to conduct emergency response 

drills. 

Advisory Bulletin (ADB–10–08) 

To: Owners and Operators of 

Hazardous Liquid and Gas Pipeline 

Systems. 

Subject: Emergency Preparedness 

Communications. 

Advisory: To further enhance the 

Department’s safety efforts, PHMSA is 

issuing this Advisory Bulletin about 

emergency preparedness 

communications between pipeline 

operators and emergency responders. 

To ensure a prompt, effective, and 

coordinated response to any type of 

emergency involving a pipeline facility, 

pipeline operators are required to 

maintain an informed relationship with 

emergency responders in their 

jurisdiction. 

PHMSA reminds pipeline operators of 

these requirements, and in particular, 

the need to share the operator’s 

emergency response plans with 

emergency responders. PHMSA 

recommends that operators provide 

such information to responders through 

the operator’s liaison and public 

awareness activities, including during 

joint emergency response drills. PHMSA 

intends to evaluate the extent to which 

operators have provided local 

emergency responders with their 

emergency plans when PHMSA 

performs future inspections for 

compliance with relevant requirements. 

Issued in Washington, DC, on October 28, 

2010.

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.

BILLING CODE 4910–60–P 

DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY 

Fiscal Service 

Fee Schedule for the Transfer of U.S. 

Treasury Book-Entry Securities Held 

on the National Book-Entry System 

Authority: 31 CFR 357.45. 

AGENCY: Bureau of the Public Debt, 

Fiscal Service, Treasury. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of the 

Treasury (Treasury) is announcing a 

new fee schedule applicable to transfers 

of U.S. Treasury book-entry securities 

maintained on the National Book-Entry 

System (NBES) that occur on or after 

January 3, 2011. 

DATES: Effective Date: January 3, 2011. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Kevin Hawkins or Kristina Yeh, Bureau 

of the Public Debt, Department of the 

Treasury at (202) 504–3550. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Treasury 

has established a fee structure for the 

transfer of Treasury book-entry 

securities maintained on NBES. 

Treasury reassesses this fee structure 

periodically, based on our review of the 

latest book-entry costs and volumes. 

For each Treasury securities transfer 

or reversal sent or received on or after 

January 3, 2011, the basic fee will 

increase from $0.31 to $0.38. The 

Federal Reserve will also increase its fee 

for Federal Reserve funds movement 

from $0.06 to $0.07. This will result in 

a combined fee of $0.45 for each transfer 

of Treasury book-entry securities. The 

surcharge for an off-line Treasury bookentry securities transfer will remain 

$33.00. The basic transfer fee assessed 

to both sends and receives is reflective 

of costs associated with the processing 

of securities transfers. The off-line 

surcharge reflects the additional 

processing costs associated with the 

manual processing of off-line securities 

transfers. 

Treasury does not charge a fee for 

account maintenance, the stripping and 

reconstitution of Treasury securities, the 

wires associated with original issues, or 

interest and redemption payments. 

Treasury currently absorbs these costs. 

The fees described in this notice 

apply only to the transfer of Treasury 

book-entry securities held on NBES. 

Information concerning fees for bookentry transfers of Government Agency 

securities, which are priced by the 

Federal Reserve System, is set out in a 

separate Federal Register notice 

published by the Board of Governors of 

the Federal Reserve System. 

The following is the Treasury fee 

schedule that will take effect on January
