Pipeline Safety: Government/Industry Pipeline R&D Forum

[Docket No. PHMSA-2014-0091] August 6 & 7, 2014 – Rosemont, IL]

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.

Date: The public forum will be held on Wednesday, August 6, 2014, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Thursday, August 7, 2014, from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CDT.
