SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal 
Regulations requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public 
and affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information 
collection and recordkeeping requests. This notice identifies an 
information collection request that PHMSA will be submitting to OMB for 
renewal and extension. This information collection is contained in the 
pipeline safety regulations at 49 CFR parts 190-199. The following 
information is provided for each information collection: (1) Title of 
the information collection; (2) OMB control number; (3) type of 
request; (4) abstract of the information collection activity; (5) 
description of affected public; (6) estimate of total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping burden; and (7) frequency of collection. PHMSA will

Liquid Pipeline Operators: Hazardous Liquid Annual Report.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0614.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: Operators of hazardous liquid pipelines must prepare and 
file annual reports regarding the condition of their systems. The data 
provides the basis for more efficient and meaningful analyses of the 
safety status of hazardous liquid pipelines. PHMSA uses the information 
to compile a national pipeline inventory, identify and determine the 
scope of safety problems, and target inspections.
    Affected Public: Operators of hazardous liquid pipelines.
    Estimated number of responses: 447.
    Estimated annual burden hours: 5,364 hours.
    Frequency of collection: Annually.
    It should be noted that this information collection, which includes 
the Hazardous Liquid Annual Report (PHMSA F 7000-1), is being revised 
in a rulemaking titled: Pipeline Safety: Updates to Pipeline and 
Liquefied Natural Gas Reporting Requirements (One Rule). The Notice of 
Proposed Rulemaking for the One Rule was published in the Federal 
Register on July 2, 2009 (74 FR 31675) and comments were submitted to 
Docket No. PHMSA-2008-0291. The purpose of this notice is only for an 
extension of the currently approved referenced information collection 
with no revisions.
