SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction

titled: ``Pipeline Safety: New Reporting Requirements for Hazardous 
Liquid Pipeline Operators: Hazardous Liquid Annual Report'' (OMB 
Control No. 2137-0614), to OMB for renewal and approval for another 
three years. Earlier, a Federal Register Notice with a 60-day comment 
period was published March 23, 2010, (75 FR 13807). The agency did not 
receive any comments. The information collection is specified as 
follows:
    Title of Information Collection: Pipeline Safety: New Reporting 
Requirements for Hazardous 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 Total Annual Burden Hours: 5,364 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: Annual.
    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.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on May 26, 2010.

Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety.
