| Note:
|
This annual report is based on quarterly performance reporting from pipeline operators. Each operator must submit a report to the Office of Pipeline Safety on a quarterly basis, using a form or database entry designated by the Office of Pipeline Safety. The report must contain the following information:
(1) the total number of notifications and the number of notifications, itemized by type;
(2) for each notification type, the percentage of notifications marked by the start time on the notice; and
(3) the number of utility damages, itemized by the cause of the damages.
With some exceptions, a pipeline operator with fewer than 5,000 notifications received during the previous calendar year is exempt from this reporting requirement.
