Department Of Commerce North Carolina

The Department of Commerce North Carolina NC Utilities Commission Division is a state government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2006, functioning as a regulatory body focused on utility oversight and pipeline safety activities. As a U.S. State Government entity, the organization plays a critical role in managing and regulating utility infrastructure within North Carolina, primarily working with federal agencies to support infrastructure safety and compliance initiatives.

The organization has consistently received federal grants primarily from the Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA), focusing on pipeline safety and inspection activities. Their federal grant awards, totaling six identified grants between 2021 and 2024, predominantly support intrastate natural gas and hazardous liquid pipeline inspection and enforcement programs. Specific grant activities include enhancing pipeline damage prevention laws, conducting compliance activities, providing training, and executing public education initiatives related to pipeline safety. The grants are structured as both formula and project-based awards, with funding ranges targeting state-level administrative and operational needs. Notable grant programs include the "Pipeline Safety Program State Base Grant" and PHMSA One Call Grant, which provide financial reimbursement for state-level pipeline safety and inspection efforts. The organization has demonstrated consistent involvement in these safety-focused programs, with grant completion dates typically spanning one to two-year periods and no indication of subrecipient involvement in the reviewed grant history.
