SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    On July 30, 2014, PHMSA issued a Federal Register notice (79 FR 
44246) to solicit comments on several revisions to the Information 
Collection titled ``National Pipeline Mapping Program'' identified 
under OMB Control Number 2137-0596. The primary purpose of these 
revisions is to collect data that is more accurate and complete that 
will also help emergency responders and government officials create 
better emergency response plans. In response to a comment from the 
American Gas Association, PHMSA issued a follow up Federal Register 
notice on September 30, 2014 (79 FR 58863) to extend the comment period 
from September 29, 2014, to December 1, 2014. PHMSA has received 
several comments from operators and industry groups that have expressed 
concern about the cost and time that will be needed to submit the 
additional data elements that are in the Information Collection and how 
PHMSA plans to keep the new data elements secure. As a result, PHMSA is 
holding a public meeting to provide an overview of the data elements 
and discuss stakeholder concerns.
