NPMS Sponsor Request

Complete this form if you are a pipeline operator or government NPMS account holder and wish to sponsor access to NPMS applications for your applicable contract staff. If approved, your contractor will receive an NPMS contractor account with the same NPMS data access, permissions, and user agreement as your NPMS account.

Applicable contract staff include the following:

Government Contractor: personnel supporting a contract or service agreement administered by government officials. The contract or agreement must be current and include a confidentiality agreement or language limiting the use of government information or systems to activities required to support the contract or service agreement.
Operator Contractor: personnel supporting a contract administered by NPMS pipeline operators to provide NPMS reporting services.

By sponsoring access for your contract staff you agree to the following:

My contractor has valid agreements in place with my employer to perform duties that require access to NPMS data or applications.
I will send an email to npms@dot.gov and request removal of this contractor's access if the terms of their contract change, end or to ensure their NPMS access does not exceed the length or requirements of the contract.
I assume responsibility for ensuring the contractor upholds the terms in the NPMS User Agreement.

Authentication

NPMS contains sensitive pipeline critical infrastructure information. To help ensure the data remains secure and your personal information is protected, NPMS uses Multi-factor Authentication (MFA).

MFA is an authentication method that requires the user to provide two or more verification factors to gain access to a resource such as NPMS. Rather than just asking for a username and password, MFA requires one or more additional verification factors, which decreases the likelihood of a successful cyber attack.

In order to access NPMS, your contractor will need to have a login account with an approved MFA provider using the business contact email you entered earlier.
NOTE: Your contractor's email of record for their NPMS account will be setup for MFA authentication on NPMS applications and must reflect their status as a contractor of a government agency, tribal government, or a pipeline operator, unless you received written approval for an exception.

Authentication Provider

NPMS User Agreement

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has developed the Pipeline Information Management Mapping Application (PIMMA) for use by NPMS pipeline operators and federal, tribal, state, and local government officials, including emergency responders and government or pipeline operator contract staff. The application contains sensitive pipeline critical infrastructure information that is Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). PIMMA is intended to be used solely by the person who is given access by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. Do not share your username and password with other persons either within or outside of your organization. If another person expresses interest in using PIMMA, please have them contact the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration directly to obtain access. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration monitors user activity and reserves the right to remove individual access rights. To access PIMMA, you must agree to the following:

I understand that the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration's Pipeline Information Management Mapping Application (PIMMA) contains sensitive information.
I agree that it will be marked and treated as DOT proprietary information and Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI).
I agree to not redistribute information or maps derived from PIMMA.
I agree to refer requests for PIMMA access to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
I agree to not share my username and password or MFA credentials with other individuals.
I understand that the HCA data provided by PHMSA and displayed in PIMMA is for informational purposes only and the data needs to be verified with the organizations which produce the data.
