Comment from California Public Utilities Commission

Summary: The Public Advocates Office of the California Public Utilities Commission supports the proposed rulemaking to require professional engineer (PE) certification for gas pipeline work but suggests specific language amendments. They propose requiring company officers to attest when non-licensed personnel are used, aiming to increase corporate accountability and track the extent of the industry's reliance on non-licensed engineers.
Attached, please find the Comments of the Public Advocates Office on the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (Docket ID PHMSA-2019-0042) by PHMSA-PE Licensure Requirements for Certifying Utility Work
