Thoughts on Data
Confusing . . . . . . So Why Look At Data?Where is the Data and Does It Say Anything?Seen Anything Lately?
PEG Some Recent Data
Looking at Data to Support the PHMSA
Mission
What Can the Public Do About Data?
Provide CommentsStatutory Directives49 U.S.C. § 60102. Purpose and general authority49 U.S. C. § 60103. Standards for LNG
Provide adequate protection against risks to life and property posed by pipeline transportation and pipeline facilities
Law directs PHMSA to establish minimum safety standards for pipeline transportation and for pipeline facilities
Those standards may apply to the operation, maintenance, design, installation, construction, testing, etc., of pipeline facilities
When prescribing a standard, PHMSA must consider relevant pipeline safety information, the appropriateness and reasonableness of the standard, estimated costs and benefits, public comments, and comments/recommendations from the advisory committees
What Can We See with PHMSA Data?
Shows Jurisdictional Transmission Lines by County Regulations, Forms, Form Instructions, Definitions Identifies Who Implements Inspection Presents Accidents/Incidents detail from an Operator’s
perspective Highlights activities that transpire while operators
work to meet the regulations Identifies which operators realize that they have
jurisdictional facilities Provides insight regarding a particular state’s activities Enforcement Activities

Future Plans
Stay in touch with the evolving needs of our customers
– Need continued input and feedback – Continue to fold in updated data:
– Use a variety of sources to identify new Operator Lists (new or just missing data)
Future Plans
Develop more tools to make use of existing or
improved data more effectively– Fine Tune Models on Risk
– Look at who is not submitting data
– Change how we see the data
Future Plans
Assist in defining and updating required data– What repeat enforcement actions exist and does this
lead to changes that may be needed?
Continue work to define and share Region best practices
