"Caram noted PHMSA’s notice of proposed rulemaking for leak detection and repair.
'I think that is a strong proposed rule, and a lot of that comes from the administration and Tristan prioritizing methane’s role in safety and climate,' Caram said in an interview."
"@BillCaram of @pstrust — a pipeline safety advocacy group — said Brown has done a “fantastic job” guiding @PHMSA_DOT . The agency has released some strong rules and both investigation reports and public engagement has improved under his leadership."
