APGA Congratulates PHMSA Administrator Roberti 

 

Washington, D.C. (September 18, 2025) – The American Public Gas Association (APGA), representing more than 730 communities across the U.S. that own and operate their retail natural gas distribution entities, issued the following statement upon the confirmation of the Administrator for the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA): 
 
“APGA congratulates Paul Roberti on his confirmation as the PHMSA Administrator at the Department of Transportation. We appreciate and echo the sentiment he shared at his confirmation hearing that the reliability and safety of pipeline systems are critical for American homes and businesses. Administrator Roberti has a long history advocating for pipeline safety both during his time as Chief Counsel of PHMSA and as a Commissioner of the Rhode Island Public Utility Commission.
