Northern Pipeline Agency
Northern Pipeline Agency
The Northern Pipeline Agency (the Agency) has been the federal regulator of the Alaska Highway Gas Pipeline in Canada since the Northern Pipeline Act was passed in 1978. The Agency serves as a single window for the federal regulation of the project, consolidating regulatory functions and coordinating with other departments and levels of government to reduce duplication and streamline the regulatory process while ensuring robust environmental protection and maximization of socio-economic benefits.
We are a federal institution that is part of the Natural Resources portfolio and works with its partners.
