SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Stakeholders are encouraged to review the 
PAPWG SWOT Report prior to the workshop. The PAPWG SWOT Report is 
available at: https://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm/publicawareness/docs/PAPWG%20SWOT%20Analysis%20Report-FINAL%2005-16-16.pdf.
    The Federal pipeline safety regulations (49 CFR 192.616 and 49 CFR 
195.440) require pipeline operators to develop and implement public 
awareness programs that follow the guidance provided by the API RP 
1162, 1st Edition, ``Public Awareness Programs for Pipeline Operators'' 
(incorporated by reference in the pipeline safety regulations 49 CFR 
192.616 and 49 CFR 195.440). Pipeline operators are required to 
implement public awareness programs that provide pipeline safety 
information to the affected public, emergency response officials, local 
public officials, and excavators. Implementing and improving public 
awareness programs allows pipeline stakeholders an opportunity to 
address pipeline safety concerns, such as third party damages, in a 
proactive manner.
    The PAPWG was a collaborative stakeholder work group comprised of 
myriad pipeline safety stakeholders. The PAPWG was established in 
September 2013. The mission of the PAPWG was to review pipeline safety 
public awareness data and information from various sources, identify 
relevant topical review areas, perform SWOT

[[Page 37665]]

analyses of those topical areas, and report out on key findings to 
support improving public awareness.
