Based on information gathered from stakeholders on pipeline safety issues, technology needs and gaps, and opportunities for technology innovation, PHMSA has established a set of strategic objectives. The objectives of the R&D program, are to improve pipeline safety, integrity, and reliability by:
  1. Developing technology that supports the PHMSA regulatory mission;
  2. Focusing on near-term technology development needs and opportunities;
  3. Conducting an effective program of technology transfer and communication with stakeholders;
  4. Maximizing the return on the R&D investment by coordinating activities with other sources of R&D funding, including other federal agencies;
  5. Efficiently and effectively managing the R&D program.


The PHMSA R&D Strategic Plan is available with the following options:
