PHMSA/NAPSR Public Awareness Workshop June 30, 2010 in Houston

On June 30, 2010, PHMSA is co-sponsoring a 1-day public awareness workshop with the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR) at the Intercontinental Hotel in Houston, Texas from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. The workshop will be an opportunity, following the initial four-year implementation cycle, to review the implementation process, identify what implementation strategies have worked well, discuss challenges faced by the pipeline industry, discuss Federal and state regulatory oversight, learn about public interest and need for information about pipelines in their communities, and identify critical elements of a successful operator public awareness program.

Pipeline trade associations, the Pipeline Safety Trust, the National Transportation Safety Board, and pipeline operators will share lessons learned from implementing their public awareness programs based on Federal regulations. PHMSA and state partners will discuss the scope of and timeline for conducting effectiveness evaluations. PHMSA and state partners will use the results from this event, in addition to existing inspection activities, to further develop programs for evaluating pipeline operator public awareness programs. The workshop will be webcast.
