Our MissionTo protect people and the environment from the risks of
hazardous materials transportation.
What We Do
Investigate
ResearchFundEducateRegulate
Pipelines in the United States
Over 2.6 million miles of hazardous liquid and gas pipelines.
Pipeline Oil Spill Response Plans
• Implementing the Oil Pollution Act of 1990.
• Improving our plan approval process.
• Posting the plans publicly.
Hazmat Transportation in the United States
Over 1 million shipments of hazmat.
Our Stakeholders
Unconventional Oil and Gas
US Unconventional Energy Production
Changing Pipeline Industry• Increased domestic production.• Population expansion.• New practices and technologies:
Higher pressure gathering lines High density of wells Increasing pipeline diameters

Operation Safe DeliveryComprehensive approach to address risks:
– Prevention– Mitigation– Response
Operation Safe Delivery: Rulemaking
• September 6, 2013: (ANPRM) issued.

advisory.• January 2014: PHMSA issued a safety alert.• February 2014: Secretary of Transportation issued an
Emergency Order.
Operation Safe Delivery: Enhanced Enforcement
• Operation Classification
• Coordination with other Entities
• Notice of Proposed Violations (NOPV)
Call to Action• In January 2014, Secretary Foxx issued a Call to Action.• Met with petroleum and railroads industry.• 30-day proposed changes focused on:
Prevention Mitigation Response
• Identified immediate actions in February 2014.• Continuously engaging with stakeholders.
Industry Actions• Association of American Railroads:
Rail Inspection and Maintenance Improvements HazMat Routing Speed Restrictions Braking Enhancements Emergency Response Assessment and Training
• American Petroleum Institute: Development of Classification Best Practices Sharing Crude Oil Testing Data
Operation Safe Delivery: Next Steps• Consider other regulatory actions.
• Continue to work with stakeholders.
• Continue Operation Classification.
• Enhance outreach efforts.
