DOT seeks tougher pipeline oversight
The Obama administration urged tighter federal oversight of oil and gas pipelines after a fatal California gas explosion highlighting aging infrastructure. NTSB head Deborah Hersman criticized agency coziness with industry and called for more inspectors and stricter rules, while advocates said the plan is only a start and insufficient to address millions of miles of pipelines.
