About the Pipeline Information Management Mapping Application (PIMMA)
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has developed the Pipeline
Information Management Mapping Application (PIMMA) for use by pipeline operators and federal,
tribal, state, and local government officials. You must have an NPMS account to access PIMMA. PIMMA
allows you to view, query and print NPMS pipeline maps, including hazardous liquid and gas
transmission pipelines, liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants and breakout tanks. PIMMA is for
reference purposes only; data cannot be downloaded from PIMMA. If you would like to request NPMS GIS
data layers for use in your own mapping system, please submit a Data Request.
A PIMMA iOS App is also available and can be downloaded from the App Store. All rules associated with the PIMMA web version, including NPMS Account requirement, also apply to the PIMMA app. NOTE: The app is not compatible with Android or Blackberry devices.
Sharing NPMS accounts between individuals is expressly prohibited by multifactor authentication
(MFA) protocols and in the NPMS Access Policy. A government or pipeline operator contractor (e.g.,
consultant, subcontractor) cannot request an NPMS account. However, a current NPMS account holder
may sponsor an NPMS contractor account for their contractor's use. Terms and sponsor forms are
available here. Otherwise, if another person expresses
interest in using PIMMA, please have them
apply for an NPMS Account. PHMSA monitors user activity and reserves the right to remove individual
access rights.
The general public and private companies may not access PIMMA;
please utilize the NPMS Public Map
Viewer instead.
