Increases pipeline safety funding, expands rules to carbon dioxide pipelines, and creates new grants for community gas systems.
This bill would set aside more money for pipeline safety programs and create new grants for towns to fix their natural gas pipes. It would also extend federal safety rules to cover carbon dioxide pipelines and establish a new system for companies to share safety information voluntarily, aiming to prevent accidents and improve oversight.
Currently, federal pipeline safety regulations primarily focus on natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines, with limited specific rules for carbon dioxide pipelines. This bill would explicitly extend comprehensive safety standards to carbon dioxide pipelines, create new funding opportunities for community-owned natural gas systems, and establish a confidential system for sharing pipeline safety information across the industry to proactively prevent incidents.
