该条款规定了美国管道和危险材料安全管理局（PHMSA）内部员工在发现涉嫌刑事违规行为时的报告与转介程序。当员工意识到存在可能受§107.333刑事处罚约束的活动时，必须向首席法律顾问办公室及主管报告。首席法律顾问可决定调查或转介至监察长办公室（OIG）。此外，员工拥有直接向OIG举报的选项，包括通过热线、电子邮件或邮寄方式。此规定旨在规范政府机构内部的合规监督流程，不直接设定外部企业的法律义务。
- (a) If a PHMSA employee becomes aware of any actual or possible activity subject to criminal penalties under § 107.333, the employee must report it to the Office of Chief Counsel, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, and to the employee's supervisor. The Chief Counsel may refer the report to the Associate Administrator to investigate. If appropriate, the Chief Counsel shall refer the report to the Office of Inspector General, or other law enforcement as appropriate (with notification to the Office of Inspector General as soon as possible).
- (b) A PHMSA employee also has the option of making a direct referral to the Office of Inspector General (OIG), either by directly contacting an OIG investigator, or via the OIG hotline at (800) 424-9071, at https://www.oig.dot.gov/hotline, by email at hotline@oig.dot.gov, or by mail to the Office of Inspector General, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, West Bldg. 7th Floor, Washington, DC 20590.
