Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 435: PHMSA Enforcement Update with Brianne Kurdock and Melanie Lampton
Q: What priorities did PHMSA set in the enforcement memo, and what trends are being observed this year?
The memo highlighted priorities like control room management, leak detection, high/medium consequence areas, damage prevention, and transactions/due diligence; trends include more CAOs and storage/LNG cases, and a rise in penalty totals.
Episode 435: PHMSA Enforcement Update with Brianne Kurdock and Melanie Lampton
Q: What are the main enforcement actions and how do they differ?
Warning letters are advisory and non-punitive; NOAs allege inadequate procedures; NOPVs allege violations and can include penalties or compliance orders; penalties are mainly tied to NO-PVs and involve a formal worksheet.
Episode 435: PHMSA Enforcement Update with Brianne Kurdock and Melanie Lampton
Q: How does PHMSA determine which enforcement action to take after an inspection?
PHMSA uses discretion, weighing evidence strength, historical context, and whether issues were adequately addressed; they differentiate warnings from NOAs and NOPVs, with penalties typically tied to actual violations and specific factors in the penalty worksheet.
Episode 434: PHMSA's Vision and Priorities with Paul Roberti
Q: What is PHMSA's role in implementing broader energy and LNG policy and modernizing regulations?
PHMSA does not build or grant permits for pipelines; its role is to ensure pipelines are designed, constructed, and operated safely. It is actively modernizing regulations—particularly for LNG facilities—by updating the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect current technologies and by creating centers of excellence to advance education, research, and best practices.
Episode 434: PHMSA's Vision and Priorities with Paul Roberti
Q: What is PHMSA's philosophy about enforcement and the agency's priorities?
PHMSA frames enforcement around compliance, enforcement, and accountability, focusing on areas that meaningfully increase safety and reduce risk, such as incidents, leak detection, and high-consequence areas, while ensuring timely investigations and outcomes to provide regulatory certainty.
