HR 5301, the PIPES Act of 2025, reauthorizes PHMSA funding through 2029 for inspections, state grants, emergency response, and a new program helping public gas utilities replace old pipelines. It also expands PHMSA oversight to carbon dioxide pipelines and makes procedural changes to speed up rulemaking, inspections, and damage-prevention enforcement.
Affects pipeline operators, state regulators, local governments and public gas utilities, excavation companies, and indirectly consumers who rely on gas, oil, and CO2 pipeline delivery.
The changes could alter how quickly safety rules are issued, how pipeline damage is prevented, and how new carbon capture infrastructure is regulated.
