The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) TSA Pipeline Security Division is requesting comments on its Information Collection Request (ICR) of pipeline security information. The ICR describes the nature of the information collection and responds to specific comments received to the TSA ICR published on July 29, 2009 at 74 FR 37723. The collection involves the submission of contact information for the company’s primary and alternate security manager; the telephone number of the security operations or control center; and data concerning pipeline security incidents. At AGA’s request, the TSA has amended the draft TSA Pipeline Security Guidelines to clarify “pipeline security incidents” to mean “incidents which are indicative of a deliberate attempt to disrupt pipeline operations or activities that could be precursors to such an attempt.”

Interested persons are invited to submit written comments on the proposed information collection to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, Office of Management and Budget. Comments should be addressed to Desk Officer, Department of Homeland Security/TSA, and sent via electronic mail to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. Send your comments by September 15, 2010.
