Description
The Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-355) strengthened the federal rules for the pipelines that carry oil, gas, and other hazardous liquids across the country. It amends title 49 of the United States Code, the transportation title.
Its early sections tighten one-call notification programs, the call-before-you-dig systems meant to stop backhoes from rupturing buried lines, by setting minimum standards that include government operators. The act's wider subject is the security and safety of pipelines after the September 2001 attacks, when the nation's energy infrastructure looked newly exposed to attack.
