A bill to amend title 49, United States Code, to require the establishment of an Office of Public Engagement in the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 4983, also known as the "Office of Public Engagement in PHMSA Act," aims to make changes to title 49 of the United States Code in order to create an Office of Public Engagement within the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). This office would be responsible for improving communication and collaboration between PHMSA and the public, as well as other stakeholders involved in pipeline and hazardous materials safety.

The bill seeks to enhance transparency and accountability within PHMSA by requiring the establishment of this new office. By fostering better engagement with the public and stakeholders, the hope is to improve safety measures and response protocols related to pipelines and hazardous materials.

In addition to creating the Office of Public Engagement, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to pipeline and hazardous materials safety. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary, but are likely to involve further improvements to safety regulations and procedures within PHMSA. Overall, Bill 118 s 4983 aims to enhance communication and collaboration within PHMSA in order to better protect the public and the environment from the risks associated with pipelines and hazardous materials.
