The Office's duties would be to engage with the public, pipeline operators, public safety groups, and State, local, and Tribal officials about pipeline safety practices, promote safety programs, inform the public of safety rules and best practices, and help answer public questions. The Office would have to make its activities and information products accessible to the public and would include community liaison positions. The Secretary would report to Congress on how the changes were carried out within 18 months.
