PHMSA Sends Pipeline Data-Reporting Request to OMB for Review
Regulation · Nov 11 · By Truker
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is passing a request to renew or approve a federal paperwork requirement to the Office of Management and Budget for evaluation. The step follows the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. The agency had earlier opened a 60-day public comment window on the request, announced in the Federal Register on June 18, 2026.
The points
- 1PHMSA is the agency moving the data-collection request forward.
- 2The request is now with OMB for its review and public comment, as the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 requires.
- 3An earlier Federal Register notice, dated June 18, 2026, gave the public 60 days to weigh in.
- 4The request concerns pipeline safety, an area PHMSA oversees alongside hazardous materials transport.
- 5The notice excerpt does not describe the specific data to be collected or any change affecting truck carriers.
Why it matters
The notice shows PHMSA's pipeline-safety reporting requirement has reached the federal paperwork-approval stage, though the excerpt does not link it to any trucking operations.
