PROGRESS REPORT ATTACHMENTS (GAS ) PHMSA Form No. PHMSA F 999-92 INSTRUCTIONS: These attachments request information either for the entire calendar year (CY 2015: January 1 through December 31, 2015) or as of (or on) December 31, 2015. 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. 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.].Attachment 2: Total State Field Inspection Activity. Requires the state to indicate by operator type the number of inspection person-days spent during CY 2015 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, 2015. Also indicate the operator type (e.g., intrastate transmission) consistent with the listing in Attachment 1 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. .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. Please also make an effort to clearly identify 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. Please provide a summary of incident investigations. DUNS: 102589939 2015 Gas Base Grant Progress Report Idaho IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, Page: 4 .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 2015. If an employee has not been in the pipeline safety program the full year of 2015, 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 Y/N/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 Y/N/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. 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.] . DUNS: 102589939 2015 Gas Base Grant Progress Report Idaho IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, Page: 5 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.

DUNS: 102589939 2015 Gas Base Grant Progress Report Idaho IDAHO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION, Page: 25 Attachment 10 - Performance and Damage Prevention Questions CALENDAR YEAR (CY) 2015 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 2016, the Commission will conduct audits of the operator's Drug & Alcohol Programs, Distribution Integrity Management Plans, and Public Awareness Programs. Additionally, the 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 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 is involved with a coalition of stakeholders that is also trying to have the Idaho Legislature enact a damage prevention system that would meet the newest requirements of PHMSA. Great effort and resources have been committed by the Commission to have the newly hired inspectors become trained and qualified. The Commission is on schedule to have its three new inspectors basically trained and qualified by July 1, 2016. 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. Of the new FTEs hired, one has completed five T&Q Courses in Oklahoma City and participated in all inspections, the other two have completed their PL 1250 course and attended inspections during their tenure. The pipeline safety program increased inspection activity for new construction performed by operators and their contractors. Line locating are being observed whenever possible and evaluated for accuracy during the excavation process. Activities performed by excavators are inspected to assure care is being applied around live pipelines and proper procedures are being followed for excavation tasks. 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. Damage Prevention Initiatives are supported by the Commission through alliance with two one-call centers, Operator public awareness programs, utility coordinating councils, and membership in local damage prevention coalition. 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) is documented on the IPUC Form 1 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.
