(PHMSA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice and request for
comments.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice
announces that the information
collection request abstracted below is
being forwarded to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and comment. PHMSA plans to
revise the instructions for Form PHMSA
F 7100.2 INCIDENT REPORT—GAS
TRANSMISSION, GAS GATHERING,
AND UNDERGROUND NATURAL GAS
STORAGE FACILITIES to provide
clarity on reporting the intentional
release of gas through relief valves and
emergency shutdown devices. A
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on
this information collection revision was
published on December 17, 2020.
DATES: Interested persons are invited to
submit comments on or before
September 12, 2025.
ADDRESSES: The public is invited to
submit comments regarding these
information collection requests,
including suggestions for reducing the
burden, to Office of Management and

I. Background
Title 5, Code of Federal Regulations
section 1320.8(d), requires the Pipeline
and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) to provide
interested members of the public and
affected agencies the opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping requests before they are
submitted to OMB for approval. In
accordance with this regulation, on
December 17, 2020 PHMSA published a
Federal Register notice with a 60-day
comment period soliciting comments on
its intent to revise the instructions for
Form PHMSA F 7100.2 INCIDENT
REPORT—GAS TRANSMISSION, GAS
GATHERING, AND UNDERGROUND
NATURAL GAS STORAGE FACILITIES
which is under OMB Control Number
2137–0635.
The proposed revisions included
changes to the instructions to Form
PHMSA F 7100.2 to remove the
requirement for operators to report relief
valve lifts and compressor station
emergency shutdown (ESD) events
when the systems function as expected.
In a subsequent 30-day notice,
published in the Federal Register on
May 14, 2021, PHMSA decided to delay
proposed revisions and consider the
comments in a future information
collection change.
PHMSA is again proposing to revise
to the instructions for Form PHMSA F
7100.2 to clarify how operators should
treat the reporting of intentional gas
releases. The current instructions state
that the intentional and controlled
release of gas for the purpose of
maintenance or other routine operating
activities is not to be reported. However,
the instructions for Section A7, specify

‘‘When ESDs or relief valves are
activated as the result of a safety
condition that has occurred, the volume
released should be included in the
‘‘unintentional’’ category, even if safety
equipment performed as designed . . .’’
In the December 2020 notice, PHMSA
proposed to revise the instructions to
indicate that when gas is released
through a relief valve or a compressor
station during an ESD event, and
devices open and close at the specified
set points, the release of gas is
considered intentional.
One of the commenters (the
Associations) 1 to the December 2020
notice suggested that the proposed
language be clarified to specify that a
relief valve or ESD system need not
‘‘close’’ at the specified setpoint for the
event to be considered intentional,
because a relief device may not perfectly
‘‘close’’ (i.e., reseat) completely
following a relief event. The
Associations specified that if the relief
valve or ESD opens at the specified set
point and relieves gas through the
intended pathway, then the relief valve
has functioned as designed. The
Associations also suggested that
PHMSA clarify that when determining
whether a relief valve opened at the
specified setpoint, the operator should
consider the relief valve manufacturer’s
specified tolerances. The Associations
noted that relief valves are commonly
designed to begin partially opening
before the set point is reached to reduce
the risk of overpressure. The
Associations also noted that ESD
systems may be designed to activate in
response to a ‘‘condition’’ rather than a
‘‘set point’’ (e.g., gas detection). The
Associations concluded by specifying
that it is illogical to classify manual ESD
activations as unintentional since such
events are intentional actions taken by
trained operator personnel.
The Associations proposed the
following language for the general
instructions, ‘‘When gas is released
through a relief valve or a compressor
station has an emergency shutdown
(ESD) system and devices open at the
specified set points (considering the
manufacturer’s specified tolerances) or
conditions, release of gas is considered
intentional.’’
The Associations proposed the
following language for the A7
instructions, ‘‘The volume released
during a relief valve activation is
considered intentional when the device

Association, American Petroleum Institute,
American Public Gas Association, GPA Midstream
Association, and Interstate Natural Gas Association
of America (https://www.regulations.gov/comment/

opens at the specified setpoint,
considering the manufacturer’s
specified tolerances. The volume
released during an emergency shutdown
(ESD) that is activated by a station safety
device is considered intentional. The
volume released during an ESD in
which one or more valves in the release
pathway do not properly open is
considered unintentional.’’
PHMSA acknowledges the concerns
of the Associations and, based on the
additional information provided, agrees
with the proposed revisions. PHMSA
does not intend to collect data on events
that are not associated with equipment
failure or malfunctions as those events
do not represent safety risks to the
public. The elimination of this data will
provide a more accurate representation
of the safety of gas transmission
pipelines, allowing both operators and
regulators to better identify and address
safety concerns.
While PHMSA is proposing that the
release of gas from a relief valve or ESD
device is not a reportable incident as
defined by pipeline safety regulations, it
may qualify as an abnormal operation or
safety related condition. Section
192.605 requires the operator’s
operations and maintenance manual to
include procedures for the handling of
abnormal operations. Under
§ 192.605(c)(1)(iv), operators are
required to respond to, investigate, and
correct the cause of the operation of any
safety device. Under § 191.23(a)(10),
operators of gas transmission pipelines
are also required to submit a safety
related condition report for each
exceedance of the maximum allowable
operating pressure that exceeds the
margin (build-up) allowed for operation
of pressure-limiting or control devices
as specified in the applicable
requirements of §§ 192.201, 192.620(e),
and 192.739.
PHMSA notes that relief device
activations may also be subject to
reporting under other Federal or state
laws. (See, e.g., Environmental
Protection Agency’s Greenhouse Gas
Reporting Program, 40 CFR 98 subpart
W).
II. Summary of Impacted Collection
As section 1320.8(d) of Title 5 of the
CFR requires PHMSA to provide
interested members of the public and
affected agencies the opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping requests before they are
submitted to OMB for approval, this
notice identifies an information
collection request that PHMSA will
submit to OMB for revision.

OMB Control No. 1513–0010
Title: Formula and Process for Wine.
TTB Form Number: TTB F 5120.29.
Abstract: In addition to imposing
Federal excise taxes on wines produced
or imported into the United States, the
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) places
formula requirements on certain wines
and authorizes the Secretary of the
Treasury (Secretary) to issue regulations
regarding the production of wines. This
includes 26 U.S.C. 5386, which requires
special natural wine to be made
pursuant to an approved formula, and
26 U.S.C. 5361, 5362(d), 5387, and
5388(b), which authorize the Secretary
to issue regulations governing the
production of wines other than natural
wines.
Under those IRC authorities, the
Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade
Bureau (TTB) regulations in 27 CFR
parts 24 and 26 require proprietors
intending to produce special natural
wine, agricultural wine, other than
standard wine, or nonbeverage wine to
submit, and obtain TTB’s prior approval
of, the formula by which the product is
to be made. While TTB has issued a
form for use for any beverage alcohol
formula, TTB continues to allow in its
regulations the use of a separate form,
TTB F 5120.29, for submitting formulas
for wine.
TTB uses the collected information to
ensure that the relevant tax provisions
of the IRC are appropriately applied and
to determine whether the products
comply with production, labeling, and
ingredient safety requirements.
Current Actions: There are no
program changes or adjustments to this
information collection, and TTB is
submitting it for extension purposes
only.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Businesses and other
for-profits.
