A field hearing on pipeline safety will be held in Charleston on Monday, Jan. 28. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-W.Va.) announced the hearing in the aftermath of the explosion of a transmission line in Sissonville on Dec. 11, 2012.
Rockefeller has made pipeline safety a priority in his four years as Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee. He said the hearing will bring together key witnesses to review the current state of pipeline safety.
"The Sissonville explosion shook West Virginia quite literally, and served as a stark reminder that pipeline safety is serious. And oversight is critically important," Rockefeller said. "This will be the fourth Senate Commerce Committee hearing on this issue during my tenure as chairman, and it's an important one to West Virginia – because we know how much worse things could have been in Sissonville. And West Virginians want to know everything is being done to prevent accidents – and disasters."
Through the hearing, Rockefeller will review the Department of Transportation's implementation of the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, which became law last January.
This forum will also provide an opportunity to review the findings of a Government Accountability Office study about the ability of transmission pipeline facility operators to respond to a hazardous liquid or gas release. The study is expected on January 23.
The time and location of the hearing has not been set.
