PHMSA Pipeline Act 2011 / Section 24 Workshop July 13, 2012 – Washington, DC

The Department of Transportation/Pipeline Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is conducting a free, public workshop to discuss Section 24 of the recently passed Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011 and PHMSA’s implementation challenges with Section 24. (See related article in the January Edition of the DOT Pipeline Compliance News.)

Per Section 24, within one year of enactment (January 2013), PHMSA will be required to cease the incorporation of voluntary consensus standards by reference into its regulations unless those standards have been made publicly and freely available on the Internet.

The workshop will be held on Friday, July 13, from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the West Building, Oklahoma Room of the U.S. Department of Transportation, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590. The public workshop will also be Webcast.

To register for this workshop, go to the PHMSA website. The preliminary agenda and link to the Webcast can be found there, too. Name badge pickup and onsite registration will be available starting at 7:30 a.m.

Copies of the presentations will be available on the public workshop Website and in the docket PHMSA–2012– 0142 at http://www.regulations.gov, within 30 days following the workshop.
