The
Department of Transportation, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) and the National Association of Pipeline Safety
Representatives periodically hold this event to generate a National research
agenda that fosters solutions for the many challenges with pipeline safety and
with protecting the environment. The forum allows public, government and
industry pipeline stakeholders to develop a consensus on the technical gaps and
challenges for future research. It also reduces duplication of programs,
factors ongoing research efforts, leverages resources and broadens synergies.
The national research agenda coming out of these events is aligned with the
needs of the pipeline safety mission, makes use of the best available knowledge
and expertise, and considers stakeholder perspectives.
Online registration, hotel information and the draft agenda can be found on the
PHMSA
website.
