The NPMS (National Pipeline Mapping System) is a GIS (geographic information system) created by the US Department of Transportation, OPS (Office of Pipeline Safety) in cooporation with other federal and state governmental agencies and the pipeline industry. The purpose of the effort is to provide a centralized database of geospatial pipeline data to be used as a tool for OPS decision support, emergency response, inspection planning, community need-to-know, and regulatory compliance. It consists of geospatial and attribute data and metadata related to the interstate and intrastate natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid pipelines and LNG facilities jurisdictional to OPS. OPS works with pipeline operators to submit pipeline facility data to NPMS voluntarily. The success of the initiative relies on the participation of the pipeline industry. With the help of NPMS, OPS is moving forward with rulemakings that require risk-based pipeline-integrity management. Through visualization, geospatial analyses, and the integration of various databases, OPS is using NPMS to help ensure the safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the nation's pipeline transportation system.
