On August 2, 2000, RSPA published its intention to revise forms RSPA F 7100.2-Incident Report For Gas Transmission and Gathering Systems and RSPA F 7100.2-1-Annual Report For Gas Transmission and Gathering Systems. RSPA is giving the public an additional 30 days to comment on the proposed changes in the natural gas transmission forms and the information collection burden for both the revised natural gas transmission forms and the existing natural gas distribution forms. The natural gas distribution incident and annual report forms are not being revised at this time. Copies of this proposed information collection and the revised forms can be reviewed in this docket at http://dms.dot.gov, docket RSPA-98-4957.

Comments on this notice must be received on or before June 7, 2001. Comments are invited on: (a) The need for the proposed collection of information for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (c) ways to enhance the quality, utility and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways to minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques.
