GAO Report: Federal Regulators Lack Data to Accurately Assess Natural Gas Pipeline Hazard Estimates, NTSB Urges Change.

Federal pipeline safety regulators are failing to collect sufficient data to revise hazard estimates for natural gas pipelines, according to a report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has urged PHMSA to change the industry-commissioned formula, which underestimates the area where people could be hurt or killed by a rupture. The GAO stated that without this data, it may be difficult to assess the method’s accuracy.
