It examined: the extent of major pipeline accidents from 1989-1998; OPS's implementation of the 1996 act's risk mgmt. demo. program; the OPS's inspection & enforcement efforts since the act's implementation; the OPS's responsiveness to recommendations from the Nat.

This book was released on 2017-08-08 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Pipelines are a relatively safe mode of transportation for hazardous liquid and natural gas and are regulated by the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and state entities. Included in the nation's pipeline network are an estimated 200,000 or more miles of onshore "gathering" pipelines, which transport products to processing facilities and larger pipelines. (See figure.) Many of these pipelines have not been subject to federal regulation based on their generally rural location and low operating pressures. While incidents involving gathering pipelines regulated by PHMSA have resulted in millions of dollars in property damage in recent years, comparable statistics for federally unregulated gathering pipelines are unknown. This report identifies (1) the safety risks that exist, if any, with onshore hazardous liquid and natural gas gathering pipelines that are not currently under PHMSA regulation and (2) the practices states use to help ensure the safety of these pipelines. GAO surveyed state pipeline safety agencies in all 50 states and the District of Columbia; interviewed officials at PHMSA, state pipeline safety agencies, pipeline companies, and industry associations; and analyzed data and regulations.

This book was released on 2014-06-13 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nation's network of approx; 2.5 million miles of pipelines moves millions of gallons of hazardous liquids and 55 billion cubic feet of natural gas every day. Eighty-five percent of these pipelines are under State authority. The Dept. of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Admin. (PHMSA) authorizes States to oversee and enforce operators' compliance with Federal pipeline safety regulations through its State Pipeline Safety Program. PHMSA also allocates grants to State programs. Between 2008 and 2013, funding for these grants more than doubled from $19.5 million to over $46 million. In Sept. 2010, an intra-State natural gas pipeline exploded in San Bruno, CA, resulting in 8 fatalities, 58 injuries, and 38 destroyed homes. The Nat. Transportation Safety Board's (NTSB) investigation found weaknesses in PHMSA's oversight of State programs and recommended that DOT assess the effectiveness of PHMSA's oversight of intra-State pipeline safety. This report assessed PHMSA's (1) policies and procedures for managing its State Pipeline Safety Program, including guidelines to participating States; and (2) oversight of State pipeline safety programs.This is a print on demand report.
