Why are Pipeline Compliance Management Programs Needed?
Limited In-House Resources
Small to medium-sized pipeline and facility operators often face unique challenges that require unique solutions. Resources are often limited and, in many cases, regulatory compliance expertise within the company is not readily available, which is challenging given the ever-changing regulatory requirements.
Small and medium-sized pipeline and facility operators frequently encounter distinctive challenges that demand innovative solutions. These operators often grapple with limited resources, and in numerous instances, they lack in-house regulatory compliance expertise—an issue compounded by the constantly evolving regulatory landscape.
Complexity of Evolving Regulations
Regulations such as the PIPES Act of 2020 and the PHMSA Gas Gathering Rule present significant challenges –– even for seasoned pipeline operators. For small and medium-sized operators, these complex and dynamic requirements often create uncertainty around how to safely and efficiently manage pipeline assets. Determining how those assets are regulated across multiple federal, state and local agencies can be especially difficult without experienced regulatory employees on staff.
