As part of its annual grant evaluation process, PHMSA performs thorough evaluations of each state pipeline safety regulatory program. To support this evaluation, PHMSA and the National Association of Pipeline Safety Representatives (NAPSR) have developed a set of performance metrics that examine the state program performance in six areas:
Damage Prevention Program
Inspection Activity
Inspector Qualification
Leak Management
Enforcement
Incident Investigation
Performance data is available for each state, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico in the Interactive State Map below.
