November 4, 2020 ALJ ISSUES RECOMMENDED DECISION TO ADOPT NEW PUC PIPELINE SAFETY REGULATIONS
On November 4, 2020, the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) for the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) issued a Recommended Decision to adopt new Pipeline Safety Rules which incorporate significant changes and move the Rules from the Gas Utilities and Pipeline Operator Rules at 4 Code of Colorado Regulations (CCR) 723-4, to a new, standalone Part 11, 4 CCR, 723-11. The modified Pipeline Safety Rules were noticed in December 2019 and follow a significant stakeholder process with various Industry trade organizations providing comment. If no exceptions are filed to the Recommended Decision within 20 days after service, or unless the Decision is stayed by the PUC upon its own motion, the Recommended Decision shall become the decision of the PUC. The ALJ’s Recommended Decision and the adopted Rules can be found by entering the proceeding number “19R-0703GPS” into the PUC E-filing system at the following link:
