The
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the National
Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives are pleased to announce the next
Pipeline Research & Development Forum is this July. These events are held
periodically to generate a National research agenda that will foster solutions
for the many challenges with pipeline safety and with protecting the
environment.
The forum allows public, government and industry pipeline stakeholders to
develop a consensus on the technical gaps and challenges for future research.
It also reduces duplication of programs, factors ongoing research efforts,
leverages resources and broadens synergies. The national research agenda coming
out of these events is aligned with the needs of the pipeline safety mission,
makes use of the best available knowledge and expertise, and considers
stakeholder perspectives.
