This includes oversight of interstate natural gas transportation and storage facilities. FERC issues standards for business practices which provides major guidance for operating our facilities.

PHMSA ensures safety in the design, construction, operation, maintenance and spill response planning of gas transportation pipelines and their related facilities.

The EPA's mission is to protect human and environmental health. The agency creates standards and laws to protect and conserve the natural environment. It oversees programs to promote energy efficiency, environmental stewardship, sustainable growth, air and water quality, and pollution prevention.

OSHA ensures safe and healthful working conditions by setting and enforcing standards and providing training, outreach, education and assistance. We maintain full compliance with OSHA standards across all our facilities to protect our workforce.

The BLM oversees mineral estates located beneath federal, state, and private land. We work closely with the BLM to ensure responsible management of mineral resources while sustaining the health, diversity and productivity of public lands.

The DOE addresses energy, environmental and nuclear challenges through science and technology solutions. We align with DOE initiatives on energy conservation and domestic energy production.
