				<gco:CharacterString>The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Office Locations dataset was compiled on March 09, 2026 from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT)/Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) National Transportation Atlas Database (NTAD). The PHMSA Office Locations layer contains point features representing the addresses of PHMSA's regional and field operations offices as well as its Headquarters and Inspector Training and Qualifications Division office. Each region office is charged with overseeing the safe and secure movement of daily shipments of hazardous materials by all modes of transportation, as well as ensuring the safe, reliable, and environmentally sound operation of the nation's pipeline infrastructure. Despite regional divisions the jurisdiction of PHMSA staff is nationwide and not limited to their regional area of responsibility. In some cases, both the Office of Pipeline Safety and the Office of Hazardous Materials Safety are located at the same address. In these cases, the data layer still contains a separate point for each office so that the contact information for each office can be provided. Although the PHMSA Headquarters and the Inspector Training and Qualifications Division represent both the OPS and the OHMS, there is only one point for each of these offices since there is only one contact for each office. A data dictionary, or other source of attribute information, is accessible at https://doi.org/10.21949/1530286</gco:CharacterString>

								<gco:CharacterString>The USDOT office location layer for the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) was created by the Bureau and Transportation Statistics (BTS), then approved by a member of the PHMSA. BTS communicated with PHMSA personnel to help understand where the PHMSA regional offices are located, mostly adhering to the offices listed via a map/table/text on PHMSA's website https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/about-phmsa/offices. As a result, a geolocator named ArcGIS World Geocoding Service was used to map the regional offices via their listed address on the website. BTS then performed quality control checks on the point that the geolocator mapped, using Google maps and using ArcGIS Pro (or any geospatial software), moved the point to the actual building if and as needed. To populate the attributes, BTS communicated with the PHMSA to understand the address and contact information for each regional office via their website. Various fields were then added to the database schema to accommodate this information using the "add field" function within ArcGIS Pro, and then derived from the PHMSA's website, filled out appropriately by BTS with PHMSA's guidance and ultimate approval.</gco:CharacterString>
