The JPO/FR/PI Section is comprised of two units: the Joint Pipeline Office (JPO) Unit and the Financial Responsibility & Prevention Initiatives (FR/PI) Unit.

The JPO is an umbrella organization housing thirteen State and federal agencies that have oversight responsibilities for various elements of Trans-Alaska Pipeline System operations for the Pipeline and the Valdez Marine Terminal. It has several locations in Anchorage, Fairbanks and Valdez.

Three Section staff make up the JPO unit. Two staff that oversee the oil discharge prevention and contingency plans (Cplans) for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) Pipeline and the Valdez Marine Terminal are located in the Anchorage State Pipeline Coordinator's Office (SPCO), which represents the State of Alaska presence in the JPO.

The DEC/JPO Liaison is located in Valdez and communicates and coordinates with the SPCO and the federal JPO agencies on behalf of all DEC Divisions that have jurisdictional oversight of environmental requirements included in the Alaska State Lease of Right-of-Way and the Federal Grant of Right-of-Way for the TAPS Pipeline corridor.
