Pipeline Safety Engagement Act of 2025

The Pipeline Safety Engagement Act of 2025 mandates the Secretary of Transportation to rename the existing Community Liaison Services within the Office of Pipeline Safety to the Office of Public Engagement within one year of the Act's enactment. This change aims to enhance public interaction regarding pipeline safety. The new office will be responsible for a broader scope of public outreach and engagement activities. The primary duties of the Office of Public Engagement include proactively engaging with diverse pipeline stakeholders, such as the public, operators, and government officials, to raise awareness of pipeline safety practices. It will also promote the adoption of safety programs, inform the public about safety regulations and best practices, and assist with inquiries. The bill further stipulates that all activities and information products developed by this office must be accessible to the public, and it will incorporate positions known as "community liaisons." A report on the implementation of these changes is required to be submitted to Congress within 18 months.
