Through the Division L Explanatory Statement, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, requires PHMSA to submit an updated research plan to Congress to assess pipeline failure causes and safety risks, outline specific short-term and long-term research goals, and define how PHMSA, industry, academia, and other federal partners will collaborate on research to improve pipeline safety. Additionally, the plan must report on the previous year's research activities and how they were funded in partnership with industry and academia.
Due to the delayed submittal of this report, House Reports 117-99 and 117-402 again requested submittal of the updated research plan.
