��ѻ��ý staff hosted a meeting of pipeline safety advocates and U.S. Department of Transportation officials to discuss pending federal safety regulations.  DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration outlined its efforts to finalize regulations that would allow it to declare state “call before you dig” pipeline safety programs inadequate and conduct civil enforcements within those states. ��ѻ��ý and its safety partners stressed the need for fair regulations that take into account the shared responsibilities of pipeline operators and contractors.  We’ll be seeking comment on the proposed regulations over the coming months.
