President Obama on Wednesday signed into law a sweeping pipeline safety bill, which includes changes to the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). S 2276, also known as SAFE PIPES Act of 2016, passed both chambers of Congress with broad bipartisan support. It cleared the House on June 8, followed by the Senate five days later (see Daily GPI, June 14; June 9).
