The '''Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration''' ('''PHMSA''') is a [[United States Department of Transportation]] agency created in 2004, responsible for developing and enforcing regulations for the safe, reliable, and environmentally sound transportation of energy and other hazardous materials. It is in charge of overseeing about 3.4 million miles of pipelines - accounting for 65% of the energy consumed in the U.S. - and regulating the nearly 1 million daily shipments of [[hazardous materials]] by land, sea, and air. This includes pipelines carrying carbon dioxide [[Carbon capture and utilization]]).
PHMSA's safety programs are housed in the Office of Pipeline Safety (OPS) and the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety (OHMS). PHMSA is headquartered in Washington, D.C. 

PHMSA was created within the U.S. Department of Transportation under the [[Norman Y. Mineta]] Research and Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004,<ref name=statute118>{{cite web|url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/STATUTE-118/html/STATUTE-118-Pg2423.htm|title=United States Statutes at Large, Volume 118, 108th Congress, 2nd Session|publisher=Gpo.gov|access-date=30 November 2014}}</ref> which then-United States President George W.
