The CFR defines accidents and incidents, as well as criteria for submitting reports to the Office of Pipeline Safety. Specific information includes the time and location of the incident(s), number of any injuries and/ or fatalities, commodity spilled/gas released, causes of failure and evacuation procedures. The reports are used for identifying long- and short-term trends at the national, state and operator-specific levels.
