FERC-537, Gas Pipeline Certificates: Construction, Acquisition and Abandonment

Key Information

Abstract

The NOPR seeks stakeholder perspectives on a Commission proposal to revise its part 157, subpart F blanket certificate regulations, 18 CFR sections 157.208(d) and 157.215(a)(5), to increase the cost limitations for projects that interstate natural gas pipelines may construct without a case-specific authorization order. The FERC 537 collection includes the requirements to obtain FERC approval for construction, acquisition, or abandonment of natural gas pipelines. Under the Natural Gas Act (NGA) a natural gas company must obtain FERC authorization to engage in the transportation of natural gas in interstate commerce, to undertake the construction or extension of any facilities, or to acquire or operate any such facilities or extensions in accordance with Section 7(c) of the NGA. A natural gas company must also obtain FERC approval under Section 7(b) of the NGA prior to abandoning any jurisdictional facility or service. Under the Natural Gas Policy Act (NGPA) (Public Law 96-621) interstate pipelines must also obtain FERC authorization for certain transportation arrangements. If a certificate is granted, the natural gas company can engage in the interstate transportation of natural gas and construct, acquire, or operate facilities. Conversely, approval of an abandonment application permits the pipeline to cease service and discontinue the operation of such facilities. Authorization under NGPA Section 311(a) allows the interstate or intrastate pipeline applicants to render certain transportation services.

Emergency Relief Funding Applications

Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request is seeking OMB renewed of the three-year approved clearance for Emergency Relief Funding Applications (OMB Control No. 2125-0525). States are required to submit an application for emergency relief (ER) funds to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to receive Federal-aid highway disaster assistance. The law on the ER program, 23 U.S.C. 125(a), requires a finding by the Secretary of Transportation that the damage is sufficiently serious to warrant Federal funding for repairs. In order to make this determination, the Secretary relies on the information provided in the State's application for disaster assistance. The authority and responsibility of the Federal Highway Administrator to prescribe policies and procedures for the proper submission of information necessary to allow this determination is established at 23 U.S.C. 315. State Transportation Departments (State DOTs), equivalent highway agencies in the District of Columbia, Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Territories of Guam, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, and Federal Land Management Agencies (FLMAs) submit ER applications to the FHWA for review and approval as events occur. Once the application is accepted by FHWA, the Applicant may be reimbursed with Federal funds. Without the information, an ER funding determination cannot be made. Per 23 CFR 668.111(c), the ER application must include a copy of the Governor's proclamation, request for a Presidential declaration, or a Presidential declaration and a copy of the damage survey summary report (DSSR), as appropriate. The DSSR includes a description of the types and extent of damage to highways and a preliminary estimate of cost of restoration or reconstruction for damaged facilities in each jurisdiction. As provided in 23 U.S.C. 125(d)(1)(B), States are required to submit an application for ER funding to FHWA within two calendar years of the date of disaster. The application must include a comprehensive list of all eligible project sites and repair costs. 23 CFR 668.111(b)(2) provides that unless very unusual circumstances prevail, the damage survey summary report should be prepared within 6 weeks following the applicant's notification. 23 CFR 668.113(a) provides that the State should submit to the FHWA Division Administrator a program of projects which defines the work needed to restore or replace the damaged facilities within 3 months of the receipt of the initial disaster notification.

No Surprises Act: IDR Process

Key Information

Abstract

The CAA added provisions applicable to group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual markets in a new Part D of title XXVII of the Public Health Service Act (PHS Act) and also added new provisions to part 7 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), and Subchapter B of chapter 100 of the Internal Revenue Code (Code). Section 102 of the No Surprises Act added Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1, which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for emergency services. Section 103 of the No Surprises Act amended Code section 9816, ERISA section 716, and PHS Act section 2799A-1 to establish a Federal independent dispute resolution (Federal IDR) process that nonparticipating providers or facilities and group health plans and health insurance issuers in the group and individual market may use following the end of an unsuccessful open negotiation period to determine the out-of-network rate for certain services. More specifically, the Federal IDR provisions may be used to determine the out-of-network rate for certain emergency services, nonemergency items and services furnished by nonparticipating providers at participating health care facilities, where an All-Payer Model Agreement or specified state law does not apply. Section 105 of the No Surprises Act created Code section 9817, ERISA section 717, and PHS Act section 2799A-2 which contain limitations on cost sharing and requirements for initial payments for air ambulance services, and allow plans and issuers and providers of air ambulance services to access the Federal IDR process. CAA provisions that apply to health care providers and facilities, and providers of air ambulance services, such as requirements around cost sharing, prohibitions on balance billing for certain items and services, and requirements related to disclosures about balance billing protections, were added to title XXVII of the PHS Act in a new part E.Emergency Justfication:The ROCIS system was only allowing us to submit this information collection as an emergency. This is not a emergency, but the rule was published on 6/04/2026. We are looking for a three-year approval.

Transportation of Hazardous Liquids by Pipeline: Recordkeeping and Accident Reporting

Key Information

Abstract

To ensure adequate public protection from exposure to potential hazardous liquid pipeline failures, PHMSA collects information on reportable hazardous liquid pipeline accidents. This mandatory information collection covers hazardous liquid pipeline accident report requirements in § 195.50 and general record keeping burden associated with complying with Federal hazardous liquid pipeline safety regulations in part 195. The definition of an “accident” and the reporting criteria for submitting a Hazardous Liquid Accident Report (form PHMSA F7000-1) is detailed in 49 CFR 195.54. 49 CFR 195.54 requires hazardous liquid operators to file an accident report, as soon as practicable, but not later than 30 days after discovery of the accident, on DOT Form 7000-1 whenever there is a reportable accident the characteristics of an operator’s pipeline system. 49 CFR 195.52 requires operators of hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipeline systems to make immediate telephonic or online notice to the National Response Center (NRC) in the event of a reportable accident. PHMSA proposes to revise this information collection to require breakout tank operators who elect to use risk-based inspection protocols to make and retain records documenting the risk assessment in accordance with the 5th edition of API Standard 653.

National Pipeline Mapping Program

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (Pub. L. 107–355), 49 U.S.C. 60132, ‘‘National Pipeline Mapping System,’’ requires, the operator of a pipeline facility (except distribution lines and gathering lines) to provide information to the Pipeline and Hazardous Safety Administration (PHMSA). Each operator is required to submit geospatial data appropriate for use in the National Pipeline Mapping System or data in a format that can be readily converted to geospatial data; the name and address of the person with primary operational control (to be known as its operator), and a means for a member of the public to contact the operator for additional information about the pipeline facilities it operates. This revision will require operators to identify if a breakout tank is managed under risk-based inspection protocols when submitting geospatial information on breakout tanks to the National Pipeline Mapping System in accordance with § 195.61. The new data elements will strengthen the effectiveness of PHMSA’s risk rankings and evaluations, which are used as a factor in determining pipeline inspection priority and frequency; allow for more effective assistance to emergency responders by providing them with a more reliable, complete data set of pipelines and facilities; and provide better support to PHMSA’s inspectors by supplying more accurate pipeline locations and additional pipeline-related geospatial data that can be linked to tabular data in PHMSA’s inspection database.

Request for Entry into Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program

Key Information

Abstract

The information requested will be used to support entry of the name of a minor (an unmarried person under 18) into the Children's Passport Issuance Alert Program (CPIAP). CPIAP provides a mechanism for parents or other persons with legal custody of a minor to obtain information regarding whether the Department has received a passport application for the minor. This program was developed as a means to prevent international abduction of a minor or to help prevent other travel of a minor without the consent of a parent or legal guardian. If a minor's name and other identifying information has been entered into the CPIAP, when the Department receives an application for a new, replacement, or renewed passport for the minor, the application will be placed on hold for up to 60 days and the Office of Children's Issues will attempt to notify the requestor of receipt of the application. Form DS-3077 will be primarily submitted by a parent or legal guardian of a minor.

Approvals for Hazardous Materials

Key Information

Abstract

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has the primary responsibility for the issuance of Department of Transportation (DOT) Special Permits and Approvals under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171 180). An approval is a written authorization, including a competent authority approval, issued by the Associate Administrator, the Associate Administrator’s designee, or as otherwise prescribed in the HMR, to perform a function for which prior authorization by the Associate Administrator is required under subchapter C of this chapter (49 CFR parts 171-180). There are more than 100 approval provisions in the HMR and associated procedural regulations. Responses to this information collection are required to obtain benefits, including becoming an approval or certification agency, or obtaining a variance from packaging or handling requirements based on information provided by the respondent. These benefits and variances include, but are not limited to: United Nations (UN) third party certification; authorization to examine and test lighters; authorization to examine and test explosives; and authorization to re-qualify DOT cylinders. This information collection supports the Departmental Strategic Goal for Safety. Required collections are contained in Hazardous Materials Program Procedures, 49 CFR part 107 and parts 100-185. These regulations are promulgated in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5110, the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. On February 10, 2026, PHMSA published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [HM-215R, 91 FR 5996 ]. PHMSA is proposing a new requirement in § 173.169 to require a competent authority approval for the shipment of fire suppressant dispersing devices. These proposed requirements in § 173.169 address the classification, handling and transport of fire suppressant dispersing devices as a Class 9 material. Specifically, PHMSA proposes that these fire suppressant dispersing devices must be examined and successfully tested by a person or agency who is authorized by the Associate Administrator to perform examination and testing of explosives as explained in § 173.56(b)(1), followed by submittal to the Associate Administrator and issuance of an EX approval.

Northeast Region Hunter Participation Surveys

Key Information

Abstract

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) has overall Federal responsibility for managing the Nation's fish and wildlife resources. Part of the Service’s mission is to provide the public with wildlife-based outdoor recreation opportunities on National Wildlife Refuges, National Fish Hatcheries, and other Service lands (collectively, refuges). These outdoor recreation opportunities include hunting, which is an important opportunity for people to connect with nature, harvest food, and assist the Service in managing wildlife populations. The National Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act, as amended by the National Wildlife Refuge System Improvement Act (The Act; 16 U.S.C. 668dd et seq.) stipulates that refuges undergo a comprehensive conservation planning process that, among other things, must look at the compatibility of wildlife-dependent recreation (including hunting) on refuges. We will use the information from the proposed survey effort to inform planning on refuges as mandated by The Act.
