Who is INGAA? 1 INGAA represents the majority of the interstate natural gas transmission pipeline companies operating in the U.S., as well as comparable companies in Canada. Its members transport the nation's natural gas through a network of roughly 200,000 miles of pipelines.

Guiding Principles of Pipeline Safety Our goal is zero incidents - a perfect record of safety and reliability for the national pipeline system. We will work every day toward this goal. We are committed to safety culture as a critical dimension to continuously improve our industry’s performance. We will be relentless in our pursuit of improving by learning from the past and anticipating the future. We are committed to applying integrity management principles on a system-wide basis. We will engage our stakeholders - from the local community to the national level - so they understand and can participate in reducing risk. 2

PHMSA Reporting Definitions §191.17 Transmission systems; gathering systems; and liquefied natural gas facilities: Annual report. Leaks are unintentional escapes of gas from the pipeline that are not reportable as Incidents under §191.3. A non- hazardous release that can be eliminated by lubrication, adjustment, or tightening is not a leak. Operators should report the number of leaks repaired based on the best data they have available. For sections replaced and retired in place, operators should consider leak survey information to determine, to the extent practical, the number of leaks in the replaced section. * §191.3 Definitions (Effective 2011) Incident means any of the following events:** 1.An event that involves a release of gas from a pipeline, or of liquefied natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, refrigerant gas, or gas from an LNG facility, and that results in one or more of the following consequences: i.A death, or personal injury necessitating in-patient hospitalization; ii.Estimated property damage of $50,000 or more, including loss to the operator and others, or both, but excluding cost of gas lost; iii.Unintentional estimated gas loss of three million cubic feet or more; 2.An event that results in an emergency shutdown of an LNG facility. Activation of an emergency shutdown system for reasons other than an actual emergency does not constitute an incident. 3.An event that is significant in the judgment of the operator, even though it did not meet the criteria of paragraphs (1) or (2) of this definition *http://phmsa.dot.gov/staticfiles/PHMSA/DownloadableFiles/Files/Pipeline/GT-GG_Annual_Instructions%20_PHMSA_F71002- 1.pdf **http://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text- idx?SID=508ca795abddf4b389244286a66e14f8&node=49:3.1.1.1.7&rgn=div5#49:3.1.1.1.7.0.8.2

PHMSA Analysis Definitions PHMSA defines Significant Incidents as those incidents reported by pipeline operators when any of the following specifically defined consequences occur:* fatality or injury requiring in-patient hospitalization $50,000 or more in total costs, measured in 1984 dollars highly volatile liquid releases of 5 barrels or more or other liquid releases of 50 barrels or more liquid releases resulting in an unintentional fire or explosion PHMSA defines a serious pipeline incident as an event involving a fatality or injury requiring in-patient hospitalization.** **http://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm/reports/safety/SerPSI.html?nocache=8073 *http://primis.phmsa.dot.gov/comm/reports/safety/SigPSI.html?nocache=1099
