Notice of public meeting.
Summary
This notice announces RSPA's intent to establish a team of government, industry, and public representatives to study best practices in damage prevention to underground utilities. The team will evaluate the effectiveness of various existing one-call notification systems in protecting the public, individuals engaging in excavation activities, and the environment, and in preventing disruptions to public services and damage to underground facilities like pipelines, telecommunications, electric, water and sewer lines. This notice also announces a public meeting to solicit views and recommendations on the direction of this study of one-call system best practices and to identify sources of information which should be considered as part of the study. RSPA invites interested parties to attend this public meeting, and to make presentations on views and areas of investigation which should be considered in the study, and to identify persons and organizations who should participate on the study team.
