Abstract: This paper presents my perspective on Pipeline Damage Prevention Programs and what needs to be done in the future. In general, the Safety Board is very pleased with DOTs new rule on Damage Prevention Programs and wishes to express our appreciation to that Department for preserving, in this climate of deregulation, and promulgating, a rule aimed at controlling the number one pipeline safety problem. But as you might expect, we are not 100% satisfied with the rule. The main area thai concerns us is the exemption of damage prevention programs for pipelines in rural Class 1 and Class 2 iocaiions and especially for pipelines that are in Class 3 locations solely because they pass a few inhabited buildings or a recreation center in an otherwise rural area.
