PHMSA/OPS Webinars - "Safety of the Nation's Hazardous Gas Transmission Pipelines"

PHMSA/OPS will host two identical webinars to address the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Pipeline Safety: Safety of Gas Transmission and Gathering Pipelines”.  These public webinars are being hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to discuss the proposed rulemaking for the safety of the nation's hazardous gas transmission pipelines.  PHMSA senior staff will present factual information about the regulatory proposal and will answer clarifying questions intended to help you comment more knowledgeably. Among a number of topics in the rulemaking proposal, PHMSA is proposing to update integrity management (IM) requirements and to address issues related to non-IM requirements for natural gas transmission and gathering pipelines.

These two webinars are scheduled for May 12 and June 8, and please register ASAP.  Registration and details concerning these two webinars are posted on the PHMSA/OPS web site at:
