On September 9-10, 2015, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), partnering with the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR), will hold a public workshop to discuss risk modeling methodologies of gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines and non-pipeline systems. Pipelines are the primary energy highways of the Nation that provide efficient means to transport the vast volumes of commodities on which we depend. Understanding the risk profile and underlying risk drivers for each pipeline system is a fundamental aspect of safe pipeline operations.

This workshop will provide the pipeline industry, Federal and State regulators, interested members of the public, and other stakeholders an opportunity to share their knowledge and experience about risk modeling and practical approaches to improving pipeline risk models. It will focus on improving risk modeling approaches and techniques for pipeline and non-pipeline systems to advance pipeline risk models.
