SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: National Pipeline Mapping Program.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0596.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a previously approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: Each operator of a pipeline facility (except distribution 
lines and gathering lines) must provide contact information and 
geospatial data on their pipeline system. This information should be 
updated on an annual basis. The provided information is incorporated 
into the National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) to support various 
regulatory programs, pipeline inspections, and authorized external 
customers. The periodic updates of operator pipeline data inform the 
NPMS of any changes to the data over the previous year and allow PHMSA 
to maintain and improve the accuracy of the information.
    Affected Public: Operators of pipeline facilities (except 
distribution lines and gathering lines).
    Estimated Number of Responses: 894.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 16,312 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: Annual.
    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. A comment to OMB is most effective if OMB 
receives it within 30 days of the date of publication in the Federal 
Register.

    Authority: The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995; 44 U.S.C. 
Chapter 35, as amended; and 49 CFR 1:48.
