Background
• In 1999 PHMSA implemented regulations requiring OQ evaluations
for all personnel (company & contractors) when performing a
covered task.
• In 2000 BP/USPL developed a contractor task list to satisfy
regulatory requirements.
• The current Contractor Task List (CTL) contains 140 tasks and uses
3 primary third party OQ providers (OQSG, NCCER and NACE)
• Over the past 14 years regulatory expectations relating to OQ have
evolved and industry has reacted (for example API RP 1161)

Why Change?
Primary reasons for changing the CTL include:
• To better align with current regulatory and industry expectations and
best practice.
• Improve linkage of tasks to third party provider’s curriculum.
• Improve task definition.
• Align numbering convention with API RP 1161 when practicable.

When Is The Change Effective?
• The new CTL shall be used with all new USPL projects starting
1/1/2015 and thereafter.
• Ongoing USPL projects which have a projected completion date
before 1/1/2015 (meaning all project contractor OQ task activities
have been completed) may continue without imposing the new CTL
requirements.
• As of 1/1/2015 any USPL projects in progress (that require
ongoing/new OQ task work) will be required to utilize the new CTL
task requirements on affected tasks. The project initiator will be
responsible for editing the ISN jobsite to account for the new CLT as
soon as possible but before tasks are to be performed in the field.

Who Is Affected?
• USPL employees that assign contractor task(s) to projects/work
including: Asset owners; Project managers; EPIC; Construction
supervisors; Planners/Schedulers; Team Leaders; ROW
Maintenance Coordinators; Program Managers; Corrosion group,
and Tank group.
• Any contractor currently assigned to a job for USPL.
• Any contractor that uses the task list to identify his/her
qualification(s) gap.
