- Licensed Utility Service Installers (LUSI)- The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is proposing an expansion to the Operator Qualifications to include new construction with the final rule expected to be released in October. This proposed change has the potential to impact the Colorado Springs Utilities LUSI program. Some of the proposed changes include requiring drug and alcohol programs and specific OQ training. Options being explored include: contractors continuing to perform the work if they meet the new requirements, CSU contacting with LUSIs directly, each company creating their own OQ and Drug and Alcohol Testing Programs. The HBA is monitoring this situation, will review the final rule, and will continue discussions with CSU on the proposed program changes.
