2 Congressional Delegation of Authority Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 Congress Delegated Inspection and Enforcement Authority to the Secretary of Transportation Secretary can delegate authority DOT Research & Special Programs Administration DOT Pipeline & Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ( PHMSA )

3 PHMSA May retain inspection authority or delegate PHMSA trains all inspection staff Delegation via Certification or Agent Agreement Certification delegates Inspection & Enforcement Authority Agent Agreement Agent must perform inspections as PHMSA instructs PHMSA retains Enforcement Authority

4 Categories of Pipelines Interstate Gas Transmission Intrastate Gas Transmission Intrastate Gas Distribution Interstate Hazardous Liquid Intrastate Hazardous Liquid Gas Gathering Hazardous Liquid Gathering Offshore Pipeline

5 Illinois Commerce Commission Certification - Intrastate Gas Transmission and Distribution Has authority to enact regulations more stringent than Federal Regulations Has full inspection and enforcement authority Must conduct program according to PHMSA guidelines Receives funding from PHMSA to implement program

6 Code of Federal Regulations ( CFR ) Parts CFR Part 190 Prescribes procedures used to carry out duties regarding pipeline safety CFR Part 191 Pipeline operator reporting requirements of Incidents, Safety Related Conditions and Annual Pipeline Data CFR Part 192- Minimum safety requirements for gas pipelines and transportation CFR Part 193 Requirements for Liquefied Natural Gas ( LNG )

25 Safety & Security Through SCADA Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition Systems Monitor Pressure in Pipeline Control Pressure in Pipeline Remote Valve Control Rupture Detection Flow Control

26 Optical Fiber Monitoring Fiber Optic material along pipeline Can detect seismic activity along pipeline Excavation Activity Tapping Sabotage Leakage

27 Local Authority Pro s and Con s Pro s Pride of ownership to ensure security and safety Regulator lives in community Local authorities are most familiar with potential threats to the pipeline Can result in more rapid response and enforcement Provides for flexible enforcement

28 Local Authority Pro s and Con s Political Pressure or Lack of Enforcement Complacency Too close to situation to recognize issues Favoritism May overlook indiscretions by acquaintances Contracts Corruption Direct or Indirect Bribery Kickbacks

29 Example of Local Authority Issues State Oversight of Pipeline Safety Budget constraints can limit resources and equipment Failure to enforce regulations Elected Official influence Reluctant to initiate self-imposed penalty Over Regulation or Inconsistent Regulations States have over 1000 additional Pipeline Safety related requirements Single event can cause excessive localized regulation

30 Local Authority Municipal Government Reluctant to set rates at appropriate levels Lack of knowledge regarding safety and security Outside financial influence Complacency

31 Penalties Regulation Compliance Failure Third Party Damages Intentional Damage to the Pipeline Theft

32 Summary Regulatory Requirements for all phases of pipeline must be Law of the Land Extensive, proven resource materials are available for: Design Construction Maintenance One Central Authority Consistent Rules and Regulations Consistent Training of Regulatory Staff Consistent Enforcement of Penalties

33 Summary - Continued Appropriate funding of inspection and enforcement activities Trained, Committed Inspection Staff Verification of Operator: Knowledge Skill Ability

34 Summary - Continued Technology should be used to enhance Safety and Security Remote Monitoring Remote Pressure and Flow Control Consistent Enforcement Must apply to all Stakeholder Authority must be used consistently Penalty levels should out weight benefits of non-compliance

35 Essential Elements of Safety and Security 1. Utilize proven regulations and best practices to develop comprehensive regulations 2. Establish central, neutral authority for oversight 3. Establish reliable funding mechanism for inspection 4. Hire and fairly compensate knowledgeable workforce 5. Implement technology to enhance security and safety monitoring
