**Markus Wormstorm** (born **Markus V Smit**; 1981) is a South African electronic musician.

## Biography

### Overview

Markus is a composer, game developer, and writer currently completing his MA at UCT. He has scored numerous global campaigns for esteemed brands such as STAR WARS, Google, Coke, Amazon, and Audi, among others.

Markus has won several major international awards, including the Annie Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music (2024), the Annecy Special Distinction Award, and the SAFTA Award for Best Original Score. The latter was South Africa’s nomination for the Oscars. He has also won other notable awards like the Clio, Loerie, Summit, and Ciclope Awards (in Europe and Africa). In addition, Markus has been nominated for the Cannes Lions and the Annecy Cristal.

Signed to Sound Ink NY records at the young age of 19, Markus has collaborated and remixed tracks for a variety of artists, including MF Doom (as Viktor Vaughn), Burna Boy, and Waddy & Yolandi from Die Antwoord. Over the years, he has honed an exceptionally sophisticated classical sound, praised by Rolling Stone Magazine. His foray into the gaming industry includes work for brands like EA Games and the creation of a widely downloaded mobile game, "Petting Zoo," in collaboration with New Yorker Illustrator Christoph Niemann.

Operating from his 5.1 studio in Cape Town, Markus excels in blending his classical recordings with cinematic electronic sound design, showcasing his versatile and innovative approach to music and sound production.

### 2000s

Markus moved to Cape Town in 2001 where he began his career on the city's electronic music circuit.

He graduated from the Pro Arte School of music, art and drama in Pretoria, where he created a number of theatrical writings and won school awards for music and literature. Wormstorm received classical piano training at the age of 12.

After moving to Cape Town, Wormstorm formed collaborations with other musicians. The earliest of these was IDM producer Felix Laband. Together they created 'Killed by Dwarf', a series of experiments spawned from jam sessions which were never released.

In late 2001, Wormstorm was invited by African Dope Records to submit music to their production music libraries. This resulted in a number of minor synchronisation licenses, which Wormstorm quickly spent on hand-making copies of his "album", which he would hand out at gigs and to friends. This brought him to the attention of rapper/composer/protagonist/satirist Waddy Jones, front man of Johannesburg's hip-hop group Max Normal. Later frontman for the band Die Antwoord. When Jones disbanded Max Normal in early 2002, he and long-time DJ partner Sibot invited Wormstorm to collaborate on Waddy's The Constructus Corporation project, which resulted in the concept album / graphic novel *The Ziggurat* (ADOPECD009 African Dope Records 2002).

In January 2003, he along with Felix Laband decided to leave The Constructus Corporation to work on the Real Estate Agents.

Meanwhile, a copy of Wormstorm's "demo" album had found its way into the hands of Alex Threadgold, owner of New York-based electronica / IDM label Sound-Ink, which resulted in a 3-album deal for Wormstorm, alongside stablemates M Sayeed of Anti Pop Consortium and MF Doom. His first album for the label, *Rachel the Bear*, was released in digital-only format in 2006.

Together with Simon Ringrose (Sibot) and his brother Duncan Ringrose (long-time collaborator and manager of The Constructus Corporation and The Real Estate Agents), he formed the corporate sound design agency 'SAYTHANKYOU', which has won a number of Gold and Silver Loerie Awards for Composition and Sound Design. Wormstorm's works have provided the soundtrack for ad campaigns for the likes of MetroFM (South Africa's biggest urban music radio station), VR Brandy, Audi, Ford, B.O.E., South African Design Indaba, Nokia and local mobile network CellC.

In December 2004, African Dope Records, in association with management label Sshadoworkss, released Wormstorm's self-titled debut South African album, bundled as part of the 3CD pack *The Real Estate Agents*

Wormstorm is also a writer and music producer for the animation collective The Blackheart Gang, who creates short film stories. The group shot their film *The Tale of How* (2006), which toured with Resfest in 2007 and has won several animation awards, including Chanel Plus – France. The film was nominated for the Annecy Cristal and won the Annecy Special Distinction Award.

In 2006, together with vocalist and long-time collaborator Spoek Mathambo, Wormstorm launched a new collaborative music project called Sweat.X, which they describe as "Afro-electro". Subsequent to an intensive networking effort on MySpace, Sweat.X signed a deal with the UK label, Citinite, in March 2007 and toured Europe in June/July 2007.

### 2010s

In 2012 Wormstorm created a boutique online music search engine geared towards commercial licensing.

In 2013 he released a 12-track album, *Not I, but a Friend*. In 2013 Wormstorm founded Honeymoon Studios, in Cape Town.

In 2014 he starred in the documentary *Future Sounds of Mzansi*, as he was interviewed as one of the pioneers of electronic music in South Africa. In that year, he also created an online store called The Wormstore. In that year he also created Honeymoon Podcasts. His studio created three episodes in collaboration with the Arthur C. Clark-winning author Lauren Beukes and political analyst, award-winning author, and historian Max du Preez. In April 2015 Wormstorm won a Safta Award for Best Achievement in Original Score for his work on the feature film Four Corners.

Later that year, he released a self-titled EP under the pseudonym of Akira on his own label, Biblo Records, for digital download.

### 2020s

Markus scored his second feature film in 2021 for director Robin Goode's debut feature, Free State. In 2023, Markus scored Ian Gabrial's film Death of a Whistle Blower, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival that year. In 2023, Markus scored a STAR WARS film titled "Aau's Song," for which he would later win Best Achievement for Original Music in TV/Streaming at the 51st Annie Awards.

## Recognition

Markus Wormstorm features in the 2010 South African documentary, *The Creators*. In the film, Wormstorm and Sweat.X co-collaborator Spoek tour South Africa's Karoo, making music and exploring the disconnect with the impoverished local community.

# Planned French invasion of Britain (1708)

The **Planned French Invasion of Britain,** took place in March 1708 during the War of the Spanish Succession. Hoping to divert British resources from Flanders, a French Navy expedition was ordered to transport 5,000–6,000 soldiers to northeast Scotland. Once landed, they would help local Jacobites restore James Francis Edward Stuart to the throne of Great Britain.

Using a fleet of fast privateers, its commander Claude de Forbin reached Scotland. However, with the Royal Navy in close pursuit, the troops were unable to disembark and he was forced to return home. Lack of French support meant substantive local backing failed to materialise, and the Scottish Jacobites dispersed without significant military action.

## Background

Under the 1697 Treaty of Ryswick, Louis XIV of France recognised William III as king of England and Scotland, instead of the exiled James II, who had been deposed by the 1688 Glorious Revolution. The War of the Spanish Succession began in July 1701, and when James died on 16 September, Louis reneged on that commitment and proclaimed his son James Francis Edward Stuart as king. William himself died in March 1702 and was succeeded by James's Protestant daughter Anne.

By late 1707, the war had reached a stalemate. Despite victories in Flanders, the Allies had been unable to break French border defences or to place their candidate on the Spanish throne. Both sides attempted to use internal conflicts to break the deadlock. Britain supported the camisard rebels in south-western France, and the Jacobites served a similar function for the French.

Jacobite agent Nathaniel Hooke convinced Louis XIV there was support for a Jacobite rising in Scotland, where the 1707 Union was widely unpopular. At the same time, French privateers had inflicted enormous losses on British maritime trade and the coastal fishing industry. This particularly impacted Scottish shipping, since the Royal Navy faced multiple demands to escort merchant convoys, and did not consider it a priority. Hooke visited Scotland in 1707, where he met with supporters including the Earl of Erroll, and elderly former Jacobite general Thomas Buchan.

Senior nobles such as the dukes of Atholl and Hamilton refused to commit, partly because of an attempt in 1703 by Simon Fraser, later Lord Lovat, to implicate them in a Jacobite plot as part of a personal feud. However, Hooke obtained a letter of support signed by Erroll, the Earl of Panmure and six others, promising 25,000 men and requesting 8,000 French troops, weapons, money, artillery, ammunition and "majors, lieutenants, and serjeants to discipline" the Scots army.

John Ker, another Jacobite agent, also claimed backing from Scottish Presbyterian dissidents, arguing they "are persuaded (Union) will...render the Scots slaves to the English". These religious radicals viewed Union as a threat to the Church of Scotland, despite legal safeguards for its independence. Although they appear to have been serious in considering armed rebellion, in reality Ker was a British double agent whose role was to persuade them not to do so.

Nevertheless, in November 1707 Louis decided there was sufficient backing to proceed. Planning began under the supervision of Pontchartrain, who had been involved with previous invasion attempts in 1692 and 1696. Claude de Forbin was appointed commander of the naval squadron, with the Comte de Gacé leading the landing force.

## Expedition

As the Royal Navy patrolled exits from French ports along the English Channel, naval operations often took place during the winter months, when wind and tides made it harder to enforce a blockade. However, it also increased risks from the weather; conditions off north-eastern Scotland were well known to French privateers and de Forbin's biggest concern was lack of a confirmed landing place. He later recorded "the Minister did not mention any port in a condition to receive us,... or where our fleet might anchor and... troops disembark in safety".

Based on this information, de Forbin told Pontchartrain and Louis XIV the expedition had no chance of success, but planning continued. The fleet assembled at Dunkirk, a major privateer base for centuries since ships could reach the Thames in a single tide, allowing them to reach as far north as the Orkney Islands. By the end of February, 5,000–6,000 troops were ready to embark, joined by James himself on 9 March. Its officers included a number of Jacobite exiles, among them Richard Hamilton and Viscount Galmoy.

Rather than slow-moving transports, de Forbin insisted on using a larger number of small but fast privateers, with reduced crews and fewer guns to accommodate the troops. While that improved their chances of avoiding the Royal Navy, they could not hope to win in a naval battle. The British had been monitoring the preparations, and a squadron under Sir George Byng now arrived off the nearby port of Gravelines, preventing the French from departing. As James was ill with measles, the troops were disembarked while he recovered, and after a week Byng was forced to return to England for resupply. As soon as he left, James and the soldiers were reloaded, and on 17 March, 30 privateers and five warships left Dunkirk.

Their departure was immediately delayed by a two-day gale but forced Byng to take shelter, enabling the French to make for the Firth of Forth. Rather than following the coastline, de Forbin kept out to sea to avoid being spotted and ended up north of the proposed landing site. On 25 March, the French anchored near Fife Ness and spent the next day searching for a landing place, allowing Byng to catch up with them. Despite James's protests, the French privateers could not face the British in battle and headed north. They then spent two days attempting to enter the Moray Firth before they gave up. Most of them made it back to Dunkirk although they were pursued by the British around the north of Scotland and west of Ireland, but they sustained severe damage to both ships and men.

Hearing news of the French fleet, some of the Jacobite gentry, including James Stirling of Keir House and four others, gathered at Brig o' Turk. They were arrested, imprisoned in Newgate Prison in London and later transferred to Edinburgh Castle, where they were tried for high treason. They were acquitted of that charge, as the evidence against them proved only that they had drunk to James's health.

## Aftermath

Perceptions of the expedition's value reflect a fundamental divergence of objectives between France and their Jacobite allies. The Stuarts wanted to regain their throne; for the French, they were a useful low-cost means of absorbing British resources, but a Stuart restoration would not change the threat posed by British expansion.

The 1708 attempt was a response to the dire military situation France faced as a result of Marlborough's victories in Flanders. It occupied large elements of the British and Dutch navies for several months, with Byng ordered to remain in Scotland even after its defeat, and troops were diverted from Ireland and southern England. A French army of 110,000 recaptured large parts of the Spanish Netherlands before defeat at Oudenarde on 11 July evicted it once more.

Despite its ultimate defeat, the expedition achieved France's short-term purpose but helped the pro-war Whigs win a majority in the May 1708 general election, the first held after Union. It also damaged the Jacobites, who had failed to launch an effective insurgency in Scotland despite popular opposition to Union. In his overview of the political situation, Hooke concluded that "the country seemed to be fully resolved on peace".

# Nash Higgins

**Alfred Nash Higgins** (February 29, 1896 – October 29, 1984) was an American football and track and field coach as well as athletic director, the first in the history of the University of Tampa. He later worked as superintendent of recreation for the Hillsborough County Defense Council and the county's school department athletic facilities planner.

## Early years

Higgins attended Wabash College.

## Coaching career

### Earlham

Higgins was an assistant under coach Ray B. Mowe at Earlham College.

### Wabash

Higgins coached track and field at his alma mater. The 1923 track team tied for 11th place in the NCAA meet at Stagg Field.

### Hillsborough High

Higgins coached at Hillsborough High School in Tampa, Florida in 1926, leading his team to the state championship. On the team were Jimmy Steele and Carlos Proctor. Proctor gave rival St. Petersburg High School its only loss with a field goal.

### Florida

Higgins came to the University of Florida after coaching football at Hillsborough. He was an assistant football coach, holding the title of chief football scout, and head track coach under Charlie Bachman for the Florida Gators. The 1928 Florida Gators football team led the nation in scoring. He was expected to follow Bachman as head coach, already recommended by the committee on athletics, when 26-year old Dutch Stanley was hired.

### Tampa

After his time with the Gators, he was the first head coach and athletic director at the University of Tampa. In a March 27, 1933 letter, offering the position of athletic director to Higgins, university president Frederic Spaulding wrote: "We particularly want anyone who accepts a position with us to feel enthusiastic about the school, and freely and wholeheartedly devote himself to its growth and improvement. We want men who are willing to give their best service unstintingly, and feel they are making an investment for the future."

Higgins picked the school's colors of red, black, and gold; combining those of Hillsborough High (red and black) with Plant High School (gold and black). His assistant while at Tampa was former fellow Gator assistant Alvin Pierson.

Tampa still holds the Nash Higgins Relays named in his honor. He was inducted into the Tampa Athletics Hall of Fame in 1962; and the NAIA Football Hall of Fame in 1959.

title: General Motors Theatre

abstract: General Motors Theatre was a Canadian television anthology drama series of television plays, which ran on CBC Television under various titles from September 18, 1952, until January 1, 1961, and in the US on ABC from October 5 to November 2, 1958. The series mainly consisted of one-hour episodes of romance, adventure, or mystery stories, with some social realist drama plays.

# General Motors Theatre

***General Motors Theatre*** (also known as ***CBC Theatre***, ***Encounter***, ***Ford Television Theatre***, and ***General Motors Presents***) was a Canadian television anthology drama series of television plays, which ran on CBC Television under various titles from September 18, 1952, until January 1, 1961, and in the US on ABC from October 5 to November 2, 1958. The series mainly consisted of one-hour episodes of romance, adventure, or mystery stories, with some social realist drama plays.

## Cast and crew

Austin Willis, Patrick Macnee, Barry Morse, and William Shatner were among those who appeared in plays produced in the strand. The series also supported the earlier careers of many Canadian actors, such as James Doohan, who starred in one of the most successful plays in the strand, *Flight into Danger* in 1956.

The series was a breeding ground for writing and directing talent such as William Kotcheff, Donald Jack, and Arthur Hailey. Hailey's *Flight into Danger* was later remade as the feature film *Zero Hour!*, in turn providing the inspiration for the comedy film *Airplane!*, and was also screened by the BBC in the United Kingdom. It was a significant factor in *General Motors Theatre* producer — and CBC Supervisor of Drama — Sydney Newman moving to work in the UK, where he later worked on anthology series similar to *General Motors Theatre,* such as *Armchair Theatre* and *The Wednesday Play*.

## Canadian run

First transmitted under the sponsored title on October 5, 1954, a new 60-minute drama was aired each week. As suggested by the title, the program was sponsored by the General Motors automobile company. It was effectively the same series as the unsponsored *CBC Theatre*, which had run its first season from December 1, 1953, to April 20, 1954, with General Motors becoming the title sponsor for the second season.

Following some concerns, the series moved to a Sunday evening slot in 1956, where it had competed with the American network CBS's enormously popular game show spin-off *The $64,000 Challenge* in the key Toronto market (where American broadcast signals could be received from across the border), General Motors pulled out and the show disappeared for two years. It returned in 1958 after *The $64,000 Question* had been cancelled, under the new title *General Motors Presents*.

For its final run in the summer of 1961, the series had not the originally-produced dramas but broadcasts of a bought-in British anthology series called *Interplay*.

## American run

The show was one of the first Canadian programs to be sold to an American network. ABC had planned to air 39 episodes of the series but aired only five. Renamed *Encounter*, it was scheduled to follow the western series *Colt .45*. The program faced competition on CBS from *Alfred Hitchcock Presents* and *The $64,000 Question.* Also, NBC at the time aired part of *The Dinah Shore Chevy Show*. In the Fall (Autumn), of 1958, on ABC, it replaced *Scotland Yard*, for five weeks.

# Platinum Jubilee Act of Loyalty Parade

The **Platinum Jubilee Act of Loyalty Parade** was a military parade held at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, Scotland on 28 June 2022, organised as part of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Performed as a tribute to the Queen as Head of the British Armed Forces, on behalf of all three branches of the British Armed Forces, it featured all three services, with each of the single service Senior Representatives in Scotland present, together with Service Cadets.

The Act of Loyalty also marked the 200th anniversary of King George IV's visit to Scotland in 1822, known as the "King's Jaunt", which included General Sir Robert Abercromby, the then Governor of Edinburgh Castle, presenting the castle key to the Sovereign for the first time.

## The ceremony

The Armed Forces conducted a parade and Presentation of the Key for Edinburgh Castle in the gardens of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. A Royal Salute took place as the Queen arrived in the gardens via the Equerry's Door. Lord Lyon King of Arms then presented three Senior Representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force in Scotland to the Queen. Three cadets, also representing each Service, then paraded the key to Edinburgh Castle across the gardens, which was received by Major General Alastair Bruce of Crionaich, Governor of Edinburgh Castle.

The Governor, assisted by three Service Cadets, then proceeded to the Equerry's Door and presented key to the Queen, saying:

> "We, representatives of all ranks in the Armed Forces serving in Scotland, bound by our Oath to serve Your Majesty, your heirs and successors, and marking the 200th anniversary of the presentation of the key to George IV in 1822 and this 70th anniversary of Your reign, I offer this key for your acceptance to your Royal Fortress of Edinburgh Castle."

The Queen returned the key and said:

> "I return the key to the safekeeping of My Governor of Edinburgh Castle, in gratitude for the symbolic Act of Loyalty of Our Armed Forces, confident of your faithful allegiance to your oath."

Three cheers for the Queen were then given by members of the Armed Forces before a pipe tune composed for the Platinum Jubilee called *Diu Regnare* was played, as she returned to the palace.

On completion of the parade, the ceremonial troops dispersed and the Key to Edinburgh Castle was returned to lie in the Great Hall. A new marker was added to the Chain to the Key representing its formal presentation to the Sovereign.

## Music

Musical support was provided by the Band of the Royal Marines Scotland and the Pipes and Drums of The Royal Regiment of Scotland.

text:
# Section 99 of the Constitution of Australia

**Section 99** of the Constitution of Australia, is one of several important non-discrimination provisions that govern actions of the Commonwealth and (in some cases) the various States.

## Full text

> The Commonwealth shall not, by any law or regulation of trade, commerce, or revenue, give preference to one State or any part thereof over another State or any part thereof.

## Jurisprudence

The section was first tested in 1906 in *The Colonial Sugar Refining Company Limited v Irving*, where the Commonwealth had introduced an exemption in its excise duty legislation for goods on which customs or excise duty had been paid under State legislation before the imposition of Commonwealth duties. At the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, Lord Davey, ruling that the exemption was constitutional, stated that "The rule laid down ... is a general one, applicable to all the States alike, and the fact that it operates unequally in the several States arises not from anything done by the Parliament, but from the inequality of the duties imposed by the States themselves." This principle has not been in doubt in subsequent jurisprudence.

The High Court of Australia first considered the provision in *R v Barger*, which held the *Excise Tariff 1906* invalid on several grounds. The aspect which offended s. 99 concerned an exemption relating to goods manufactured by any person in any part of the Commonwealth under certain conditions relating to the remuneration of labour, which could vary according to local circumstances, agreements and judicial opinion. In invalidating this provision, Griffith CJ, Barton and O'Connor JJ said:

> The words "States or parts of States" must be read as synonymous with "parts of the Commonwealth" or "different localities within the Commonwealth." The existing limits of the States are arbitrary, and it would be a strange thing if the Commonwealth Parliament could discriminate in a taxing Act between one locality and another, merely because such localities were not coterminous with States or with parts of the same State.

In his dissent in *Barger*, Isaacs J disputed the inclusion of "different localities within the Commonwealth," and subsequent judgments of the High Court and the Privy Council split on this point. In *Elliott v Commonwealth*, Evatt J, in his dissenting judgment, rejecting Isaacs, stated:

> in relation to sec. 99, the following propositions should be accepted:—
>
> 1. Sec. 99 forbids four types of preferential legislation, viz., (a) giving preference to a State over another State; (b) giving preference to a State over any part of another State; (c) giving preference to any part of a State over another State; (d) giving preference to any part of a State over any part of another State.
> 2. Sec. 99 forbids laws or regulations which accord preferential treatment to persons or things as a consequence of local situation in any part of the six States, regardless of all other circumstances.
> 3. The section is not infringed if the preferential treatment is a consequence of a number of circumstances, including the circumstance of locality.
> 4. The section operates objectively in the sense that the purpose or motive of the Legislature or Executive in giving preference by a law of commerce or revenue is not a relevant question, e.g., it is irrelevant that the Legislature or Executive desires to facilitate or encourage inter-State or overseas trade, or to increase revenue.
> 5. Sec. 99 may apply although the legislation or regulations contain no mention of a State *eo nomine*, e.g., the section may be infringed if preference is given to part of a State (e.g., that part of New South Wales which is represented by the port of Sydney) over another State (e.g., Western Australia) or any part of another State.
> 6. To prove infringement of sec. 99 it is not sufficient to show discrimination based on mere locality; it must also be shown that, as a consequence of the discrimination, tangible benefits, advantages, facilities or immunities are given to persons or corporations.

Evatt J's summary was endorsed by the High Court in 2004 in *Permanent Trustee Australia Ltd v Commissioner of State Revenue*, which is the foundation of current jurisprudence concerning the provision. Its rationale was further summarised in 2013 where, in *Fortescue Metals Group Limited v Commonwealth*, the Court declared that its objectives were similar to that with respect to the taxation power:

> 49. ... the constraints imposed by ss. 51(ii) and 99 of the Constitution serve a federal purpose – the economic unity of the Commonwealth and the formal equality in the Federation of the States *inter se* and their people. Those high purposes are not defeated by uniform Commonwealth laws with respect to taxation or laws of trade, commerce or revenue which have different effects between one State and another because of their application to different circumstances or their interactions with different State legal regimes. Nor are those purposes defeated merely because a Commonwealth law includes provisions of general application allowing for different outcomes according to the existence or operation of a particular class of State law. A criterion for determining whether that category of Commonwealth law discriminates or gives a preference in the sense used in ss. 51(ii) and 99 is whether the distinctions it makes are appropriate and adapted to a proper objective.

title: Pick stitch

abstract: A pick stitch in sewing is a simple running stitch that catches only a few threads of the fabric, showing very little of the thread on the right side of the garment. It is also sometimes known as "stab stitch". A pick stitch can be made from either the inside of the garment or the outside, depending upon how much thread is meant to show on the outside of the garment. A pick stitch is commonly used for making hems, although it is also used with contrasting thread to create a decorative finish on some garments. It has decorative uses in embroidery. It is exceedingly useful for inserting zips and is strong. Many home-sewers and new dressmakers find this much easier than inserting zips by sewing machine. A pick stitch along the outside of a lapel is a hallmark of a "high-end, hand-made" men's suit or blazer. A finely made pick stitch is difficult to accomplish but can be achieved with practice.

# Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration

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, which then-United States President George W. Bush signed into law on November 30, 2004. Its mission is to protect people and the environment by advancing the safe transportation of energy and other hazardous materials that are essential to the people's daily lives.

## History

Prior to 2005 the U.S. Department of Transportation had no focused research organization and no separately operating administration for pipeline safety and hazardous materials transportation safety in the United States. The Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004 provided these, with an opportunity to establish mode government budget and information practices in support of then president George Bush's "Management Agenda" initiatives. Prior to the Special Programs Act of 2004, PHMSA's hazmat and pipeline safety programs were housed within the Transportation Department's Research and Special Programs Administration, known as RSPA.

## Office of Hazardous Materials Safety

The Office of Hazardous Materials Safety is responsible for the oversight of the safe transportation of hazardous materials by air, rail, highway, and vessel. More than 3.3 billion tons of hazardous materials valued at more than $1.9 trillion are transported annually by air, highway, rail, and vessel across the United States. On average, more than 1.2 million hazardous materials shipments occur every day. This includes everything from nuclear waste to lithium-ion batteries, to explosives used in excavation, mining, and energy production. The program establishes policy, standards and regulations for classifying, packaging, hazard communication, handling, training and transporting hazardous materials via air, highway, rail and vessel. The program uses inspection, enforcement, outreach and incident analysis in efforts to reduce incidents, minimize fatalities and injuries, mitigate the consequences of incidents that occur, train and prepare first responders, and enhance safety.

## Office of Pipeline Safety

As of 2022, the Office of Pipeline Safety regulated an expansive network of about 3.4 million miles of natural gas pipeline system in the United States and its hazardous liquid pipelines. This includes 229,000 miles of hazardous liquid pipelines, 302,000 miles of gas transmission pipelines, 2,284,000 miles of gas distribution mains and services, and 17,000 miles of gas-gathering pipelines. PHMSA’s pipeline safety program promotes the safe delivery of energy products to market in a manner that protects people, property, and the environment.

The Office of Pipeline Safety is headquartered in Washington, D.C., with eight field offices located in West Trenton, New Jersey; Atlanta, GA; Kansas City, Missouri; Houston, Texas; Lakewood, Colorado; Des Plaines, Illinois; Ontario, California; and Anchorage, Alaska. PHMSA also operates a national training center and accident investigation office located in Oklahoma City.

In 2022, the PMHSA admitted that CO2 pipelines were underregulated and announced "new measures to strengthen its safety oversight".
