The pipeline safety laws (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.) authorize the Adminis-trator to pay out funds appropriated or otherwise make

26、 available up to 80 per-cent of the cost of the personnel, equip-ment, and activities reasonably re-quired for each state agency to carry out a safety program for intrastate pipeline facilities under a certification or agreement with the Administrator or to act as an agent of the Adminis-trator with

27、 respect to interstate pipe-line facilities. Amdt. 1985, 74 FR 62506, Nov. 30, 2009 198.13 Grant allocation formula. (a) Beginning in calendar year 1993, the Administrator places increasing emphasis on program performance in allocating state agency funds under 198.11. The maximum percent of each sta

28、te agency allocation that is based on performance follows: 199375 per-cent; 1994 and subsequent years100 percent. (b) A states annual grant allocation is based on maximum of 100 perform-ance points derived as follows: (1) Fifty points based on information provided in the states annual certifi-cation

29、/agreement attachments which document its activities for the past year; and VerDate Mar2010 11:22 Dec 13, 2010 Jkt 220214 PO 00000 Frm 00255 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:SGML220214.XXX 220214wwoods2 on DSK1DXX6B1PROD with CFRProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without licens

30、e from IHS-,-,-246 49 CFR Ch. I (10110 Edition) 198.31 (2) Fifty points based on the annual state program evaluation. (c) The Administrator assigns weights to various performance factors reflecting program compliance, safety priorities, and national concerns iden-tified by the Administrator and com-

31、municated to each State agency. At a minimum, the Administrator considers the following performance factors in allocating funds: (1) Adequacy of state operating prac-tices; (2) Quality of state inspections, in-vestigations, and enforcement/compli-ance actions; (3) Adequacy of state recordkeeping; (4

32、) Extent of state safety regulatory jurisdiction over pipeline facilities; (5) Qualifications of state inspectors; (6) Number of state inspection per-son-days; (7) State adoption of applicable fed-eral pipeline safety standards; and (8) Any other factor the Adminis-trator deems necessary to measure

33、per-formance. (d) Notwithstanding these perform-ance factors, the Administrator may, in 1993 and subsequent years, continue funding any state at the 1991 level, pro-vided its request is at the 1991 level or higher and appropriated funds are at the 1991 level or higher. (e) The Administrator notifies

34、 each state agency in writing of the specific performance factors to be used and the weights to be assigned to each factor at least 9 months prior to allocating funds. Prior to notification, PHMSA seeks state agency comments on any proposed changes to the allocation for-mula. (f) Grants are limited

35、to the appro-priated funds available. If total state agency requests for grants exceed the funds available, the Administrator pro-rates each state agencys allocation.

36、am 198.31 Scope. This subpart implements parts of the pipeline safety laws (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.), which direct the Secretary to re-quire each State to adopt a one-call damage prevention program as a condi-tion to receiving a full grant-in-aid for its pipeline safety compliance program.

37、2, 61 FR 18518, Apr. 26, 1996 198.33 Reserved 198.35 Grants conditioned on adop-tion of one-call damage prevention program. In allocating grants to State agen-cies under the pipeline safety laws, (49 U.S.C. 60101 et seq.), the Secretary con-siders whether a State has adopted or is seeking to adopt a

38、 one-call damage prevention program in accordance with 198.37. If a State has not adopted or is not seeking to adopt such program, the State agency may not receive the full reimbursement to which it would oth-erwise be entitled. Amdt. 1982, 61 FR 38403, July 24, 1996 198.37 State one-call damage pre

39、ven-tion program. A State must adopt a one-call dam-age prevention program that requires each of the following at a minimum: (a) Each area of the State that con-tains underground pipeline facilities must be covered by a one-call notifica-tion system. (b) Each one-call notification system must be ope

40、rated in accordance with 198.39. (c) Excavators must be required to notify the operational center of the one-call notification system that cov-ers the area of each intended exca-vation activity and provide the fol-lowing information: (1) Name of the person notifying the system. (2) Name, address and

41、 telephone num-ber of the excavator. (3) Specific location, starting date, and description of the intended exca-vation activity. However, an excavator must be allowed to begin an excavation activity in an emergency but, in doing so, required to notify the operational center at the earliest practicab

42、le moment. (d) The State must determine wheth-er telephonic and other communica-tions to the operational center of a one-call notification system under paragraph (c) of this section are to be toll free or not.
