SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: Incorporation by Reference of 
Industry Standard on Leak Detection.
    OMB Control Number: 2137-0598.
    Type of Request: Renewal of a currently-approved information 
collection.
    Abstract: Under 49 CFR 195.444 of the Federal pipeline safety 
regulations, operators of single-phase hazardous liquid pipeline 
facilities that use computational pipeline monitoring (CPM) leak 
detection systems must comply with the standards set out in American 
Petroleum Institute (API) publication API 1130. API 1130 requires 
operators to record and retain certain information regarding the 
operation and testing of CPM systems. Compliance with API 1130, 
including its recordkeeping requirements, supports pipeline safety by 
ensuring the proper functioning of CPM leak detection systems.
    Affected Public: Operators of hazardous liquid pipelines.
    Estimated Number of Responses: 50.
    Annual Estimated Burden Hours: 100.
    Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
    Comments are invited on the following: Whether the proposed 
collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of 
the functions of the Department, including whether the information 
collected 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 publication.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 17, 2010.
