Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 established our modern R&D program 3
RD&T Program Objectives
Developing Technology
Strengthening Consensus Standards
Promoting Knowledge
Fostering the development of new technologies so that pipeline operators can improve safety performance and more effectively address regulatory requirements.
Targeting and feeding new knowledge into the process of keeping standards relevant to their purpose.
Generating and promoting general knowledge to decision makers.
