There are 49 State Pipeline Safety Programs that participate in the grant resulting in safety oversight for over 2 million miles of pipeline. The State Base Grant purpose is to support State Pipeline Safety Programs which are certified through PHMSA to inspect and enforce the pipeline safety regulations under the State’s safety authority. All States currently participate in the pipeline safety program except Alaska and Hawaii. This is a recurring grant which has been in place for over 30 years.

State pipeline safety inspectors conducted approximately 51,747 days in CY2021 performing pipeline safety inspections supported by the State Base Grant.
The State Base Grant supported state pipeline safety inspectors conducting approximately 2,132 days investigating incidents/accidents in CY2021 to identify violations and taking actions to prevent reoccurrences of incidents/accidents.
The State Base Grant funding supported 3,530 days in CY2021 of training for state pipeline safety inspectors.
State pipeline safety programs, through either certifications or agreements with PHMSA under 49 U.S.C. §§ 60105- 60106, respectively, utilize more than 400 inspectors to determine compliance for over 80 percent (by mileage) of the Nation’s natural gas and hazardous liquid pipelines. If the states did not participate in the pipeline safety program, these intrastate facilities would be PHMSA’s responsibility to inspect.
