摘要：	This report presents the results of our review of the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) progress in implementing the recommendations in the Office of Inspector Generals March 2000 report, which were later mandated in the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002. That Act requires the Inspector General to report periodically to Congress on OPSs progress in implementing the recommendations and to identify options for OPS to consider in expediting implementation of the recommendations. The full report follows this memorandum. Our objective was to assess OPSs progress in implementing the Office of Inspector General recommendations for improving pipeline safety to determine whether actions taken were sufficient to correct the weaknesses found in OPSs pipeline safety program. Specifically, we assessed whether OPS has (1) fulfilled pipeline safety mandates from legislation enacted in 1992 and 1996, (2) expanded research and development to improve technologies used in pipeline inspections, (3) provided specialized training to pipeline inspectors on technologies used in and reports generated from pipeline inspections, (4) corrected shortcomings in pipeline data collection and analysis, and (5) established timetables to implement open National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) pipeline safety recommendations. Given the importance of protecting the Nations infrastructure of pipeline systems, we also reviewed OPSs involvement in the security of pipeline systems.
