This final rule sets forth regulations requiring operators of gas, hazardous liquid and carbon dioxide pipelines and liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities subject to the pipeline safety regulations to implement alcohol misuse prevention programs for employees who perform safety-sensitive functions. This final rule is consistent with the alcohol rules of other operating administrations (OAs) published elsewhere in today's Federal Register, except that RSPA is not requiring pre-employment or random testing. The final rule requires only post-accident, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up testing. This rule requires operators to remove from safety-sensitive functions employees who engage in prohibited alcohol conduct, and not permit them to return to those functions until specific requirements are met. Operators must provide covered employees with written materials that specifically identify the employees covered by the rule, explain the requirements of the rule, and establish the consequences of engaging in prohibited conduct. Operators must maintain records concerning their programs and report data regarding employee alcohol misuse to RSPA annually. The rules are intended to ensure an alcohol-free workplace, and increase the overall safety of pipeline operations.
