The Office of Pipeline Safety is considering ways to further enhance safety and environmental protection in areas where a pipeline failure could have serious consequences for the public or the environment. Communication among all stakeholders is necessary to determine the extent to which pipeline operators now have integrity management programs, to explore effective ways to promote the development and implementation of such programs by all pipeline operators, and to discuss mechanisms by which OPS could confirm the existence and adequacy of such operator-developed programs. This web site is provided to communicate information and receive feedback about on-going OPS activities to address integrity management and improved protection in high consequence areas.
