National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS)
The U.S. DOT Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) administers the national regulatory program to assure the safe and environmentally sound transportation of natural gas, liquefied natural gas and hazardous liquids by pipeline. The Accountable Pipeline Safety and Partnership Act of 1996 requires that OPS adopt rules requiring interstate gas pipeline operators to provide maps of their facilities to the governing body of each municipality in which the pipeline is located.
After September 11 the NPMS was no longer was made available to the public due to security concerns. National Pipeline Maps can still be bought from PennWell Corporation.
