GAS DISTRIBUTION. The primary goals of our gas distribution operations are safety and reliability of our system, which entails building and maintaining a safe pipeline distribution system. Safety and the protection of our employees, our customers, and the public at large are, and will remain, our top priorities. We construct, operate, and maintain our pipeline distribution system and storage operations with the goal of Table of Contents ensuring natural gas is delivered and stored safely, reliably, and efficiently. NW Natural has one of the most modern distribution systems in the country with no identified cast iron pipe or bare steel main. We removed the final known bare steel from our system in 2015 and completed our cast iron pipe removal in 2000. Since the 1980s, we have taken a proactive approach to replacement programs and partnered with our Commissions on progressive regulation to further safety and reliability efforts for our distribution system. In the past, we had a cost recovery program in Oregon that encompassed our programs for bare steel replacement, transmission pipeline integrity management, and distribution pipeline integrity management. If we want to have future cost recovery programs, we would have to seek PUC approval. For discussion on current regulatory programs, see Part II, Item 7, "Results of Operations—Regulatory Matters". Natural gas distribution businesses will continue to be subject to greater federal and state regulation in the future due to pipeline incidents involving other companies. Additional operating and safety regulations from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) are currently under development. In 2016, PHMSA issued proposed regulations to update safety requirements for natural gas transmission pipelines. The final draft of these regulations is anticipated to be issued by the end of 2018, with final regulations anticipated to be issued in 2019. Current proposed regulations indicate a 15-year timeline for implementation of compliance requirements. We will continue to work diligently with industry associations as well as federal and state regulators to ensure the safety of our system and compliance with new laws and regulations. We expect the costs to our utility associated with compliance with federal, state, and local rules would be recoverable in rates.
