Attorney Keith Coyle and Senior Director of Safety Chris Hoidal will present “What’s New in Pipeline Safety: Recent Changes to PHMSA’s Regulations” during the Marcellus Shale Coalition’s Pipeline Safety Seminar on Wednesday, May 17, 2023.

The significance of pipeline safety has grown dramatically in recent years, primarily because of the development of the nation’s shale plays and the need for new infrastructure to get gas to market, specifically in the northeast. This growth in development has spurred new regulations from The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and its state partners.

This seminar will include an update on the recent changes to the pipeline safety regulations, including PHMSA’s new reporting requirements and safety standards for onshore gas gathering lines. Representatives from PHMSA and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission, Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, and West Virginia Public Service Commission will also discuss the important initiatives at the federal and state levels. Finally, operators will provide their insights addressing pipeline safety issues in an era of rapidly evolving regulations.
