- Description
- The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the Department of Transportation (DOT), has responsibility for the regulation of hazardous materials transportation by highway, rail, air, water and pipeline. PHMSA is the primary federal regulatory agency responsible for ensuring that the Nation's 2.3 million miles of natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines are safe, reliable, and environmentally sound. From the federal level, PHMSA develops, implements, and enforces the regulations concerning pipeline construction, maintenance and operation. We share enforcement responsibilities with our state pipeline safety partners. The nation's pipelines are a transportation system that enables the safe movement of extraordinary quantities of energy products to industry and consumers, literally fueling our economy and way of life. The arteries of the Nation's energy infrastructure, as well as the safest and least costly ways to transport energy products, our oil and gas pipelines provide the resources needed for national defense, heat and cool our homes, generate power for business and fuel an unparalleled transportation system. Over the past several years, PHMSA has strengthened its role in assuring the safety of the nation?s pipeline system in numerous ways, including promulgating new regulations on integrity management (IM). These new regulations, together with the new inspection processes being used by regulators to evaluate operator compliance, rely for their effectiveness on the operators? access to new technologies that support improved safety and integrity performance and on regulators? access to information on the appropriate use and limitations of these technologies. PHMSA uses a contractor to support the ongoing and expected new challenges of its integrity management mission. Support is on demand services in the form of technical reports, briefs, white papers, training curriculums, inspection protocols, database & website management, PowerPoint slideshows and physical travel to attend and execute requested support. Please visit http://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm/ for a full description of PHMSA?s various pipeline safety programs and how this contract will support many of these vital safety initiatives.
