The workshops are free; will be hosted in-person with select hybrid sessions offered virtually; and will require advance registration. Each workshop will be a full day and will cover a variety of best practices each session. PHMSA established the National LNG Center in 2023 pursuant to section 111 of the Protecting Our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety (PIPES) Act of 2020 (Pub. L. 116-260), which directs the National LNG Center to advance Federal LNG expertise, serve as a repository of best practices, and facilitate collaboration among LNG stakeholders. Consistent with this mandate, the workshop series will bring together representatives from industry, government, academia, emergency response organizations, and other stakeholders to promote information sharing and continuous improvement in LNG safety. ## Effects PRIA read - Free LNG safety workshop — register to attend: benefit, low.
