NPMS METADATA - IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION   Citation      Originator: U.S. Dept. of Transportation      Publication Date: 1/28/04      Title: National Pipeline Mapping System Publication Information      Publication Place: Washington, DC      Publisher: U.S. Dept. of Transportation - Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Online Linkage:www.npms.phmsa.dot.gov Description      Abstract: The U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is working with other federal and state agencies and the pipeline industry to create a National Pipeline Mapping System (NPMS). The NPMS is a full-featured geographic information system (GIS) containing the location and selected attributes of the major gas transmission and hazardous liquid transmission pipelines, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants operating in United States and other offshore entities. Michael Baker Jr., Inc. (Baker), as the primary contractor assumes all responsibilities of the NPMS National Repository regarding NPMS database updates, synchronization, and maintenance. Source data is contributed annually by pipeline operators to the National Repository. This metadata is for the entire national dataset. Additional metadata for individual pipeline systems are also available.      Distribution of NPMS data is handled for PHMSA by the National and repository and is limited to pipeline operators and local, state, and federal government officials. Neither the United States Government nor any party involved in the creation and compilation of NPMS data and maps guarantees the accuracy or completeness of the products. NPMS data has a target accuracy of +/- 500 feet and resides in geographic coordinates. NPMS data must never be used as a substitute for contacting the appropriate local one-call center prior to digging.      Purpose: These data sets are for the purpose of tracking all gas transmission pipelines, hazardous liquid transmission pipelines, and LNG plants in the United States. The data will be used to support the assessment risk associated with the Nation’s liquid and gas pipeline infrastructure.
