PROGRESS REPORT ATTACHMENTS(GAS )
PHMSA Form No. PHMSA F 999-92
INSTRUCTIONS:
These attachments request information either for the entire calendar year(CY 2016: January I through December 31,
2016)or as of(or on)December 31,2016. Please report actual as opposed to estimated numbers on the attachments. Be
careful to provide complete and accurate information since the PHMSA State Programs will be validating the attachments
during the state's next annual evaluation.
0 Attachment 1: State Jurisdiction and Agent Status Over Facilities. Requires the state to indicate those pipeline
operator types over which the state agency has jurisdiction under existing law. If the state does not have jurisdiction
over an operator type, indicate why not in the column designated No, using the one alpha code(A or B)which best
describes the reason. If the state agency has jurisdiction over an operator type, place an X in the column designated
Yes and provide information on the number of operators,the number and percent of operators inspected,the
number of inspection units,and the number and percent of inspection units inspected. If the jurisdiction over a type
of operator is under a Section 60106 Agreement, indicate X/60106 in the column designated Yes. [If the same
operator/inspection unit is visited more than once during the year,count only once under number of operators
inspected/number of inspection units inspected on Attachment 1.The multiple visits would, however,be reflected
under total inspection person-days in Attachment 2.]
0 Attachment 2: Total State Field Inspection Activity.Requires the state to indicate by operator type the number
of inspection person-days spent during CY 2016 on inspections;standard comprehensive;design,testing,and
construction; on-site operator training; integrity management; operator qualification; investigating incidents or
accidents;damage prevention activities;and compliance follow-up.Attachment 2 should include drug and alcohol
inspections. Counting In Office Inspection Time-An inspector may choose to review pipeline company procedure
manuals or records away from the company facility in order to effectively use onsite inspection time. The amount
of time spent reviewing procedures and records may be counted as part of the inspection process. It is important
that an inspector only record time for activities that normally would be completed as part of an onsite inspection.
For example, an inspector may attribute the three hours he or she spent reviewing a pipeline operator's procedure
manual and records prior to an on site inspection towards the total inspection time. Each supervisor must carefully
review the reported time to ensure the time attributed is consistent with the activity completed and is carefully
delineated from normal office duties.
• Attachment 3: Facility Subject to State Safety Jurisdiction. States should only list the facilities that are
jurisdictional under Parts 192 and 193 (Gas)and Part 195 (Hazardous Liquid)of which the state has safety
authority over. This attachment requires the business name and address of each person subject to the pipeline
safety jurisdiction of the state agency as of December 31, 2016.Also indicate the operator type(e.g., intrastate
transmission)consistent with the listing in Attachment I and include the number of inspection units in each
operator's system. The operator identification number(OPID)assigned by PHMSA must also be included on this
attachment. If an operator has multiple types of system (i.e.gas distribution and intrastate transmission),each type
should be counted in corresponding category. Total operator count listed in Attachment 3 may not match
Attachment I totals due to multiple types of systems per operator.
• Attachment 4: Pipeline Incidents. Requires a list of incidents investigated by or reported to the state agency that
involved personal injury requiring hospitalization,a fatality,property damage exceeding$50,000,and others
deemed significant by the operator. Clearly identify the operator's reported cause AND the state's determination
of the cause of the incident using the one most appropriate alpha code footnoted in the attachment. We summarize
this information for Congress by classifying the cause into one of eight categories: (A)corrosion failure;(B)natural
force damage;(C)excavation damage; (D)other outside force damage; (E)material failure of pipe or weld; (F)
equipment failure;(G) incorrect operation; (H)other accident cause. You can also choose(IP) Investigation
Pending for those incidents remaining under investigation as of December 31. Then provide a summary of incident
investigations.

2016 Gas Base Grant Progress Report IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION,Page:3

* Attachment 5: State Compliance Actions.This requires a summary of state pipeline inspection and compliance
actions. [In the Number of Compliance Actions Taken column,keep in mind one compliance action can cover
multiple probable violations.]
*Attachment 6: State Record Maintenance and Reporting. Requires a list of records and reports maintained and
required by the state agency.
* Attachment 7: State Employees Directly Involved in the Pipeline Safety Program. This attachment requires a
list by name and title of each employee directly involved in the pipeline safety program. Be sure to include the
percentage of time each employee has been involved in the pipeline safety program during 2016. If an employee
has not been in the pipeline safety program the full year of 2016,please note the number of months working on the
program. Indicate a Qualification Category for each of the state's inspectors(see Attachment 7a). The categories are
shown in descending order of education and experience. Please enter the number of the highest description
applicable to each inspector. For each inspector and supervisor, indicate the month and year he/she successfully
completed the training courses at the Pipeline Safety Office of Training and Qualifications in Oklahoma City,OK.
Finally,provide in summary form the number of all staff(supervisors, inspectors/investigator, damage prevention/
technical and clerical/administrative)working on the pipeline safety program and the person-years devoted to
pipeline safety. Person-years should be reported in hundreds(e.g.,3.25).
* Attachment 8: State Compliance with Federal Requirements. This requires the state to indicate whether it is in
compliance with applicable federal requirements. If a particular requirement is not applicable to the state(e.g.
offshore inspections), indicate NA in the column designated YN/NA and indicate in the notes section why the
regulation is not applicable. If a regulation has been adopted, indicate the date adopted(e.g.,05/01/04)in the
appropriate column. If the regulation is applicable but has not been adopted indicate N in the YN/NA column and
explain why not in the appropriate column(e.g.,requires legislative action). If the state has not adopted the
maximum penalty amounts of$200,000 per day up to$2,000,000 for a related series of violations please indicate
civil penalty levels in effect in the state as of December 31,2014. For State Adoption of Part 198 State One Call
Damage Prevention Program if a state has any penalty amount for its damage prevention law please mark item 7.h
as"Adopted but Different Dollar Amounts"and list the penalty amount in the Note section.Note at the end of
Attachment 8 we are requesting each state to indicate the frequency its legislature meets in general session. This
information will be taken into account when determining if applicable federal regulations have been adopted within
24 months of the effective date or two general sessions of the state legislature.
Attachment 10: Performance and Damage Prevention Questions. This attachment requires a narrative of each
states goals and accomplishments. In addition it requires a narrative on each states progress toward meeting the
nine elements of an effective damage prevention program as described in the PIPES Act of 2006.

DEFINITIONS
• Inspection Unit. An inspection unit is all or part of an operator's pipeline facilities that are under the control of an
administrative unit that provides sufficient communication and controls to ensure uniform design,construction,
operation, and maintenance procedures for the facilities. (See Glossary of Terms in Guidelines for States Participating
in the Pipeline Safety Program for application of the inspection unit concept to transmission and hazardous liquid
pipeline systems, distribution systems, liquefied gas systems,municipality,master meter system,regulated gathering
pipeline systems,and propane-air systems/petroleum gas systems.)
• Inspection Person-Day.An inspection person-day is all or part of a day spent by a state agency representative
including travel in an on site examination or evaluation of an operator or his system to determine if the operator is in
compliance with federal or state pipeline safety regulations, in an on site investigation of a pipeline incident, or in job-
site training of an operator. Time expended on such activities should be reported as one inspection person-day for each
day devoted to safety issues, regardless of the number of operators visited during that day.
• Probable Violation.A probable violation is a non-compliance with any section or,where a section is divided into
subsections(a),(b),(c),etc., any subsection of federal or state pipeline regulations. Each numbered section should be
counted separately. Multiple non-compliances of a numbered section discovered on the same inspection should be
counted as one probable violation with multiple pieces of evidence.
® Compliance Action.A compliance action is an action or series of sequential actions taken to enforce federal or state
pipeline regulations. One compliance action can cover multiple probable violations.A compliance action may take the
form of a letter warning of future penalties for continued violation,an administratively imposed monetary sanction or
order directing compliance with the regulations,an order directing corrective action under hazardous conditions,a
show-cause order,a criminal sanction, a court injunction,or a similar formal action.

Attachment 10 - Performance and Damage Prevention Questions
CALENDAR YEAR (CY) 2016
Planned Performance: What are your Planned Annual and Long-term goals for your Pipeline Safety Program?
The IPUC Pipeline Safety Program is committed to improving our safety program. The Commission's annual goals are to ensure
Idaho jurisdictional pipeline operators are providing the safe transportation and delivery of natural gas to its customers and doing this
without affecting the safety of the public. This is accomplished by a comprehensive program of inspections and audits of the
companies'records and field equipment and following-up on each incident non-compliance found. During 2017,the Commission will
conduct audits of the operator's Procedures,Operator Qualification Programs,Public Awareness Programs,and Control Room
Management Programs. Some of the aforementioned audits will be conducted jointly with neighboring states on those operators that
service multiple states. The Commission's inspection staff will continue to identify master meter systems within the state,and
continue to do a survey of the high pressure service sets(farm taps),within one operator's service area. The Commission is still
working on having the Idaho Legislature increase the civil penalties statute to allow fines of up to$100,000 per incident per day,with
a$1,000,000 maximum. The Commission has already replaced the inspector that departed and is committed to have the newly hired
inspector become trained and qualified.
Past Performance: What did the Pipeline Safety Program accomplish during the subject year(to this document)to contribute
toward the program's annual and long-term goals?
All Intrastate operators within the Commission's jurisdiction were inspected for the safe transportation and delivery of natural gas
within the state according to the Commission's approved program of operating procedures. Any deficiencies noted were documented
and discussed with the operators for corrective actions. Follow-up inspections were performed when required. The inspection staff
has become qualified by PHMSA by completing at least all of the seven core T&Q courses. One inspector has departed the state,the
replacement is already in place and is scheduled to attend boot camp in the spring of 2017. IPUC inspectors completed 35 T&Q
courses,all scheduled inspections,and increased inspection activities for new construction and line locates whenever possible.
1. Has the state or agency reviewed the Damage Prevention Assistance Program(DPAP)document in the last twelve months?
No
2. Has the state or agency developed or is in the process of developing a plan to address the nine elements contained in the PIPES
Act of 2006 for an effective State Damage Prevention Program?
Yes
If yes to question 2,where does the state or agency stand on implementation of the nine elements contained in the PIPES Act of
2006? Please provide a description of how the state or agency has or will meet each element. If not,please provide a brief passage
explaining the reasons why the state or agency has not.
The Commission has continued to participate in the statewide coalition for damage prevention but does not have statutory authority to
develop a State Damage Prevention Program that would have any enforcement ability. All enforcement authority for damage
prevention is held within Idaho Department of Building Safety's newly formed Damage Prevention Board. The Commission does
hold a seat on the board but would not have any directive authority over it. The board's objective plan will address the nine elements
for an effective State Damage Prevention Program. The Commission supports the program through an alliance with two one-call
centers,Operator's public awareness programs,and utility coordinating councils. The goal of the coalition is to improve the
underground damage prevention law,eliminate as many exemptions as possible,educate the public and establish an effective
enforcement mechanism in accordance with the 9 elements contained in the PIPES Act. Our efforts include monitoring accidents,
violations,and third party dig-ins for the purpose of identifying best practices and/or key contributing causes. During annual audit of
each operator,the Commission continues to review operator's damage prevention program against rules and standards to ensure the
programs processes are in place and effective. Noted deficiency(s)are documented on the IPUC Form I and the appropriate section of
the PHMSA checklist,significant process deficiencies result in immediate corrective actions requiring violation initiation,procedures
for probable violation process established in the commissions program operating procedures will be followed.
