The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) includes a geographic information system (GIS) dataset containing the location and selected attributes of gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and breakout tanks (BOT) under jurisdiction of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Effective October 1, 2015, pipeline and LNG plant data is collected annually from pipeline operators as required by 49 CFR §§ 191.29 and 195.61. This metadata is for the national pipeline dataset. There is NPMS pipeline data for all 50 states as well as the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The NPMS pipeline dataset contains gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines subject to regulations from PHMSA. The NPMS pipeline dataset does not contain gas gathering, gas distribution, or hazardous liquid lines not subject to 49 CFR § 195.61 and can never be used in place of contacting a one call center prior to digging. <\/SPAN><\/P>

Distribution of NPMS data in GIS format is handled for PHMSA by the National Repository and is limited to pipeline operators and local, state, tribal, and federal government officials and is subject to data access limitations and agreements. Fulfillments of data requests will include data only for the area of jurisdiction of the person requesting the data (data requests are fulfilled per county/counties, state, or the entire U.S.). Instructions for requesting NPMS data in a GIS format are outlined on the NPMS website at www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "summary": "The National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS) datasets are used to support the assessment of risk associated with the nation's hazardous liquid and gas pipeline infrastructure.", "title": "NPMS_Pipelines", "tags": [ "transportation", "Gas Transmission", "Hazardous Liquid", "Pipelines" ], "type": "", "typeKeywords": [], "thumbnail": "", "url": "", "minScale": 150000000, "maxScale": 5000, "spatialReference": "", "accessInformation": "", "licenseInfo": "

The NPMS pipeline GIS data is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). It is available to pipeline operators and local, state, tribal, and federal government officials by request. Requests for GIS data from the NPMS should follow instructions on the NPMS website at www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov. Pipeline operators will only be provided data they contributed, while government officials will be provided data for their area of jurisdiction at a county, state, or federal level. Several considerations govern the display of static maps containing data derived from the NPMS. Static maps that are accessible/distributed outside of your governmental agency are restricted to displaying NPMS data for a single county and at a scale no larger than 1:24,000. Static maps distributed within your agency or displayed on websites with restricted access for government employees may display NPMS data at a scale larger than 1:24,000 and may include data for more than one county; however, such maps must be marked with the text \"CUI\". NPMS GIS data may not be included on a web, tablet, or mobile application or viewer unless consent is obtained from PHMSA's GIS Manager. U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration thanks government officials for exercising good judgment and recognizing that maintaining the security of NPMS data promotes public safety. This NPMS data is confidential and protected from FOIA disclosure due to the security sensitive nature of the data. It is not to be shared with anyone without express permission from U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). By using this data, you agree to the following: I understand that PHMSA's National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS), established pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 60132, is a Federal information system that contains sensitive information, access to which is restricted by Federal law (44 U.S.C. 3545(f) and FIPS PUB 200, Sec. 3). I understand that the NPMS information system remains under the exclusive control of PHMSA and that PHMSA's granting of conditional access to NPMS does not render the NPMS or any information contained therein Federal or State property or permit it to be integrated into the Federal or State records system. PHMSA may revoke my NPMS privilege at any time and any records or information obtained from NPMS must be returned to PHMSA upon request. I understand that any requests by third parties for access to the NPMS information system or records derived from NPMS must be referred to the PHMSA Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety. Notwithstanding the above, if any record derived from NPMS should ever be deemed subject to Federal or State public records laws for whatever reason, the record will be protected to the fullest extent permitted by law.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>", "portalUrl": "" }
