Summary
This notice announces RSPA's current activities to collect information and solicit public participation in a study of prevention of damage to underground facilities. RSPA established the Damage Prevention Best Practices Study Team. The Study Team consists of representatives of government, public, and industries interested in identifying best practices preventing damage to underground facilities. RSPA has developed a Web-based information system to support communication among Study Team participants. The One Call Systems Study Information System (OCSS Information System) provides access to the public for documents prepared by the Study Team. It also allows public input on the issues addressed by the Team, or any other issues relevant to underground damage prevention. The system also provides information to the public on the various Study Team meetings being held around the country until the conclusion of the study in June, 1999. All Study Team meetings are open to the public. RSPA invites all interested individuals to access the OCSS Information System, review information regarding the Study Team, and provide the Study Team with comments and any additional issues of concern relating to damage prevention best practices. The OCSS Information System can be accessed through the OPS Homepage at http://ops.dot.gov, under the ``Damage Prevention'' option.
