Whether you are a contractor or an Operator, we
have the expertise to help solve your needs.
Do contractor employees have to be in compliance
by the same date as employees of operators?  It
is the operator's responsibility to ensure that
every individual, whether employed by the
operator or by a contractor who performs a
covered task on an operator's pipeline facility
on or after the compliance date (October 28,
2002), must either be qualified to perform those
tasks or be directed and observed by a qualified
person

History of the OQ Rule
Operator Qualification In 1999, the Operator
Qualification (OQ) final rule was issued,
enhancing training requirements for pipeline
operators. The rule, which was adopted into the
Code of Federal Regulations under Subpart N in 49
CFR Part 192 and Subpart G in 49 CFR Part 195,
requires pipeline operators to document that
certain employees have been adequately trained to
recognize and react to abnormal operating
conditions that may occur while performing
specific tasks.
The Inspector Training and Qualifications
Division (TQ) makes available technical reference
materials related to OQ to supplement the
training materials. Natural gas and hazardous
liquid operators may access these technical
materials to better understand and comply with OQ
training and record keeping requirements. Please
note that TQ only provides formal training to
federal and state inspectors all other
information is supplemental. Operators should
refer to the Regulatory Information for a history
of changes to various sections of the Code of
Federal Regulations. For an official record of
current regulations, please refer to the
Electronic Code of Federal Regulations.
