Modern Risk Detection Act of 2025

The Modern Risk Detection Act of 2025 proposes to amend title 49 of the United States Code, specifically focusing on pipeline safety regulations. Its primary goal is to ensure that the Secretary of Transportation allows for the widespread adoption of risk-based approaches by pipeline owners and operators. The legislation mandates that standards prescribed under the relevant chapter must, to the maximum extent practicable, permit the use of risk-based concepts or principles for compliance. This amendment aims to provide greater flexibility and efficiency for pipeline facilities in meeting federal safety requirements by leveraging modern risk assessment methodologies.
