Pipeline Safety Program

The Natural Gas Pipeline Safety Program (PSP) is charged with confirming compliance with and enforcing the State's intrastate gas pipeline safety regulations to provide public safety to the citizens of Colorado.

PSP acts as a pipeline safety advocate to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, for the residents of Colorado and the gas pipeline industry. PSP operates and upholds the standards under the Federal Authority of United States Department of Transportation and its Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, known as PHMSA. 

The PUC follows national standards and inspects and monitors intrastate gas pipeline system operators under the review of PHMSA. Regulated facilities include transmission, distribution, gathering, master metered operators, liquefied natural gas and liquefied propane gas systems.
