PHMSA Response to Serious Pipeline Incidents
• Operators must notify the National Response Center after discovery of an incident/accident.
• Depending on the information reported to NRC, PHMSA will initiate an onsite incident/accident investigation.
• Depending on the results of its investigation, PHMSA may also initiate an enforcement action– Corrective Action Order (particular pipeline facility
hazardous to life, property, or the environment)– Safety Order (condition posing a pipeline integrity risk to
public safety, property, or the environment)– Notice of Probable Violation

• Allentown, Pennsylvania (State Regulated)– Major tragedy – causes still being investigated
• Excavation Damage Fatalities (State Regulated)– Texas, North Dakota, Georgia – to name a few
• Yellowstone River (Federally Regulated)– Significant Oil Spill near Billings, MT

Sharpened Focus on Pipeline Safety
• Transportation Secretary LaHood and PHMSA Administrator Quarterman while not ALARMED, are very CONCERNED
• Secretary LaHood Hosted a National Pipeline Safety Forum at DOT on April 18, 2011– Report to America on Pipeline Safety – 6 months– Legacy infrastructure: risk assessment driven major
repair, rehabilitation, and replacement or requalification• Public Workshops• ANPRM: Hazardous Liquids, Gas
