"The Senate on Monday unanimously passed a bill to reauthorize the federal pipeline safety oversight board, sending the measure to President Obama for his signature.
The bill extends the the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). It also makes a handful of changes to PHMSA safety policies, including an effort to provide more insight into the regulatory process and giving the Department of Transportation more power in the event of pipeline emergencies.
It also directs PHMSA to finalize regulations Congress directed it to write in its 2011 reauthorization measure."
