Joint Safety Advisory Committees

The Technical Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (TPSSC) is the congressionally mandated advisory committee that advises DOT gas pipelines. The Technical Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety Standards Committee (THLPSSC) is the congressionally mandated advisory committee that advises the DOT hazardous liquid pipelines. Each year, PHMSA meets with both groups during a joint session. Many important issues are discussed from various PHMSA programs, including R&D activities.
