H.R. 2845, the Pipeline Safety, Regulatory Certainty, and Job Creation Act of 2011, was introduced in the House by US Rep. Bill Shuster (R-PA), Chairman of the Railroads, Pipelines and Hazardous Materials Subcommittee, and co-sponsored by Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman John L. Mica (R-FL). The Transportation Committee is considering the legislation during a committee markup on 8 September 2011.
