Due
to dated technology and support expenses compared to the amount of activity,
PHMSA is retiring the Online Data Entry System (ODES 1) on December 31, 2012.
After retirement, operators will no longer be able to submit supplement reports
for CY 2009 and earlier annual, accident, and incident reports. Operators are
encouraged to review all reports from 2002 through 2009 to ensure they are
complete and accurate. If not, operators should submit supplemental reports
online before December 31, 2012. The Pipeline Data Mart (PDM) provides easy
access to all reports within this timeframe.
After December 31, 2012, operators can still change pre-2010 reports by
emailing requests to InformationResourcesManager@dot.gov. PHMSA
will “manually” make the requested changes in the appropriate
database. PHMSA encourages operators to submit supplemental reports online
before December 31, 2012 to minimize the number of “manual” data
changes in 2013 and beyond.
