Summary attachment 1, passage 12021.01 PRS Change Summary – 2020.12.17 (tf) Drug & Alcohol (DA) 1. b. 2. 1. None. Gas Distribution (GD.2021.01) Per PHMSA GD Team request, added five new Damage Prevention questions to make GD consistent with GT. a. Renamed the GD subgroup from PD.OC to PD.DP (for consistency with GT) and changed title to “Damage Prevention.” Added these five new Questions to PD.DP: PD.DP.ONECALL.P PD.DP.EXCAVATEMARK.P PD.DP.TPD.P PD.DP.TPDONECALL.P PD.DP.ONECALL.O c. Applied the five new questions to both INTEGRATED and INTRASTATE presentations. d. Applied the same question sequence as GT. e. Applied the appropriate BASELINE Directive (Form 2) to each new question. (GD.2021.01) Conducted reconciliation between recent GT revisions (see below) as applicable to GD.2021.01. Gas Transmission (GT.2021.01) for the Construction Inspection Team (CIT): a. Performed general question updating and revisions to the following subgroups: DC.CO DC.COCMP DC.DPC DC.DPCOPP b. Added new DC questions: DC.CO.COVEROFFSHORE.P/.R/.O (192.327) DC.DPC.METALCOMPONENT.P (192.144) DC.DPC.VALVE.P (192.145) DC.DPC.FLANGE.P (192.147) DC.DPC.STANDARDFITTING.P (192.149) DC.DPC.CORROSIONQUAL.P/.R/.O (192.143/192.453) DC.DPC.CCCATHPROTLEVEL.P/.R/.O (192.143/192.463(c)) DC.DPC.CCEXTRNLPROT.P/.R (192.143/192.455(a)) DC.DPC.AMPHOTERIC.P/.R (192.143/192.463(b)) Reviewed and added nine questions to the “Pipeline Commissioning” Directive (count from 47 to 56). d.

Summary attachment 1, passage 22021.01 PRS Change Summary – 2020.12.17 (tf) 3. a. Edited the entire UNGS Question Set to accommodate the changes from the UNGS Interim Final Rule (IFR) to the UNGS Final Rule (FR), which was issued earlier this year: Almost every question (about 450) needed a primary and secondary code citation change from 192.12(x) to 192.12(z). Deleted questions for which the content was not included in the FR: o UNGS.RULE.192DEVIATIONS.P/.R – not in FR. o UNGS.RULE.192DEVIATIONSRETAIN.R – not in FR. Merged questions for Final Rule streamlining: o UNGS.RESRISK.REASSESSRVW.P/.R – deleted ‐ merged content into RISKREASSESSINTRVL.P/.R. o UNGS.RESPROCED.CONSTROPSMAINT2.R ‐ deleted ‐ merged content into UNGS.RESPROCED.OMPROCED.R. Added new UNGS.CAVERNRISK subgroup (27 questions) to address Final Rule requirement applying RP1171 Section 8 – “Risk Management” to Caverns. CAVERNRISK questions match with comparable RESRISK questions. Created related new questions in response to the FR: o UNGS.RULE.RISKRANKING.R o UNGS.RULE.FAQ27DRUGTEST.R o UNGS.RPT.SRCRBRIDGEPLUG.O o UNGS.RPT.UNIQUEWELLS.O o UNGS.RESWELLDES.WELLHEADENTRY.R o UNGS.RESRISK.IMPROGRAM.P/.R o UNGS.RESRISK.RISKBASELINE.P/.R o UNGS.RESSITE.EMERGPLANAVAIL.P/.O o UNGS.RESSITE.EMERGPLANDRILLS.R o UNGS.RESPROCED.OMPROCEDAVAIL.P o UNGS.RESPROCED.OMPROCEDRVW.P/.R o UNGS.CAVERNOPS.OMPROCEDIMPL.R o UNGS.CAVERNOPS.OMPROCEDRVW.P/.R o UNGS.CAVERNOPS.OMPROCEDAVAIL.O o UNGS.CAVERNOPS.EMERGPLANRVW.P/.R Miscellaneous IA feedback items (i.e., typos and minor edits) resolution.
