| | General Information - Top Page | | The Office of Pipeline Safety, in partnership with state regulators, the pipeline industry, and local safety officials, is investigating whether structured and formalized risk management programs can provide an alternative approach to pipeline regulation. The Pipeline Risk Management Demonstration Program, required under Congress's Accountable Pipeline Safety and Partnership Act of 1996, is designed to test whether a structured and formalized process for identifying pipeline-specific risks, allocating resources to the most effective risk control activities, and monitoring safety and environmental performance can lead to superior safety and environmental protection, greater levels of public participation in the regulatory process, a more informed and effective regulator, and increased efficiency and reliability of pipeline operations. The Demonstration Program will test these assumptions under strictly controlled conditions through a set of Demonstration Projects to be conducted with interstate pipeline operators. This website provides information about each of these proposed demonstration projects. It has been prepared to inform the public, local officials, and other stakeholders, and to solicit input about the proposed projects.
