OQ-2 Teleconference

The MidWest Energy Association is hosting a teleconference on March 7, 2003 from 10:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. central time to discuss continuing issues with the Operator Qualification rule. The “OQ-2 Working Group” was formed as a result of the issues of concern identified at the January 22, 2003 Office of Pipeline Safety public meeting in San Antonio. To efficiently work towards resolution of these issues, the “OQ-2 Working Group” has taken steps to assure stakeholders are kept informed and have the opportunity to provide input.

What Will Be Discussed on This Audio Conference:

  • Review of the February 25-27, 2003 Office of Pipeline Safety public meeting in Houston
  • Path forward initiatives update

Participants will be able to ask questions of the panelists. Note: this audio conference is open to pipeline operators and contractors only.
