API
has scheduled an additional ½ day meeting on public awareness on July 1, 2010.
It is intended to follow the PHMSA/NAPSR Public Awareness Workshop (scheduled
for June 30th) and will be held at the same venue, the Intercontinental Hotel
in Houston, TX.
The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for operators to discuss
challenging issues in public awareness and damage prevention. The agenda
includes presentations on the revisions to Recommended Practice (RP) 1162 and
findings from a 2007 and 2009 industry survey of stakeholders. During the
scheduled breakout session, operators will share their experiences in measuring
the effectiveness of their programs and implementing enhancements.
The workshop is designed for pipeline company personnel who are responsible for
implementing, evaluating and enhancing their company’s public awareness
program. Vendors currently under contract with a pipeline operator to implement
an operator’s program are also invited to attend.
Registration:
Additional workshop information and registration details will be posted the
week of June 7th on the API website.
