## Document text

1. A utility shall submit a final report of each accident to the Commission within 30 calendar days after submitting the initial report required by NAC 704.240.

2. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a utility shall submit the final report on the form entitled "Public Utility Accident Report," which is available from the Commission.

3. A gas utility whose accident results in a notification to the United States Department of Transportation shall submit the final report on the form prescribed for a gas distribution pipeline system incident report (Form PHMSA F 7100.1) or the form prescribed for a gas transmission and gathering systems incident report (Form PHMSA F 7100.2) by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration of the United States Department of Transportation.

4. If any of the information required is not readily available to the utility at the time the final report is submitted to the Commission, the utility shall briefly explain its reasons and shall submit the additional information to the Commission as soon as it becomes available to the utility.

5. If the information required has not been submitted to the Commission within 3 months after the date of the final report, the utility shall submit a status report in writing to the Commission setting forth the actions taken or contemplated by the utility to obtain the information and the estimated date of submission of the information. Status reports must be submitted by the utility at 3-month intervals until all of the information has been submitted to the Commission.

The rescission shall include an explanation of the basis for the rescission.

  "caveats": {
    "exactScope": "This rules-only corpus contains all 14 current Nevada Administrative Code sections that directly govern the certified intrastate gas-pipeline safety program: NAC 703.910 and 703.915; the complete NAC 704.228-.250 accident-reporting sequence made applicable to gas operators by NAC 703.910; and every section in NAC 704.455-.465. The current Legislature chapter publications are the completeness boundary.",
    "applicability": "Apply each rule only after resolving Commission jurisdiction, intrastate status, commodity, operator and facility class, and the rule's own terms. NRS 703.154 excludes activities subject to Chapter 704 from that section's separate authority; NAC 703.910-.915 and NAC Chapter 704 therefore must not be collapsed into a single applicability theory. The PUCN reports 49 U.S.C. 60105 gas certification for intrastate private distribution, master-meter, LPG, transmission, LNG, gathering, and offshore facility classes. Its current program page states that it has jurisdiction only over intrastate pipeline facilities, lacks jurisdiction over PHMSA-jurisdictional facilities including all hazardous-liquid pipelines, and may assist PHMSA on interstate construction only as an agent. Assistance is not state enforcement jurisdiction.",
    "incorporation": "NAC 704.460 dynamically adopts the most recently published 49 CFR Parts 191, 192, 193, and 199 unless Nevada timely rejects a revision through the prescribed notice and hearing process. NAC 704.461 similarly adopts current NFPA 58 and 59 subject to state review. This connector records the Nevada adoption clauses but does not reproduce incorporated federal or private standards, determine whether a rejection notice exists for a particular edition, or replace edition-specific legal research.",
    "publication": "The Nevada Legislature publishes the controlling current NAC chapter text and identifies both Chapter 703 and Chapter 704 as revised April 13, 2026. Retrieval time is an observation, not a legal event. Source notes support amendment events but are not complete historical versions. The PUCN 2024 Gas Base Grant Progress Report proves certification status as of December 31, 2024; the current PUCN program page supplies the present jurisdiction description.",
    "excludedScope": "The corpus does not make adjacent significant-service-outage, natural-gas curtailment, LPG rate, gas-infrastructure replacement/cost-recovery, professional-engineering, siting, excavation/one-call, tariff, docket, order, inspection letter, enforcement, form, or incident material searchable. It excludes interstate gas, hazardous-liquid pipelines, standalone statutes, and incorporated federal or private text.",
    "rights": "Official Nevada and federal-program materials are retained with attribution and SHA-256 provenance. Public access does not establish unrestricted rights in site presentation, agency marks, forms, photographs, incorporated standards, or linked materials. NFPA standards are not reproduced and require separate rights review."
