DESCRIPTION OF INCREMENTAL CHANGES DECISION ITEMS R1 ADJUST UNUSED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SPENDING AUTHORITY: Staff recommends a decrease of $463,192 in ongoing cash funds spending authority for the Disabled Telephone Users Fund Payments line item appropriation to the Public Utilities Commission. This request will bring spending authority levels in line with current projected use of Relay Colorado. Relay Colorado is a free telephone service enacted in statute (Section 40-17-101 C.R.S.) that provides text-telephone services to those who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled. Usage of this service has fallen over the last five years, primarily because of advances in technology. R2 INTRASTATE PIPELINE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS: Staff recommends an increase of $436,345 cash funds from the Fixed Utilities Cash Fund for FY 2020-21, and $491,073 in subsequent fiscal years, as well as 4.0 FTE. The requested funds and FTE will go to the Public Utilities Commission Pipeline Safety Program.



OTHER CHANGES CENTRALLY APPROPRIATED LINE ITEMS: The recommendation includes a combination of previously acted on and pending adjustments to centrally appropriated line items for the following: state contributions for health, life, and dental benefits; short-term disability; supplemental state contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement Association (PERA) pension fund; merit pay; workers' compensation; legal services; administrative law judges; payment to risk management and property funds; leased space; payments to the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT); and CORE operations.

MAJOR DIFFERENCES FROM THE REQUEST The difference between staff’s recommended appropriation for FY 2020-21 for the Department and the Department’s requested appropriation for FY 2020-21 is primarily related to the two decision items:

Staff’s recommendation for R2 includes an increase of $436,345 cash funds as opposed to the requested $511,062 by the department for FTE and new vehicles to be allocated to the Gas Pipeline Safety Unit within the Public Utilities Commission. The difference comes from applying Joint Budget Committee policy to exclude funding for Health, Life, Dental, AED, SAED, and Short Term Disability for new FTE in the first year.

Staff’s recommendation for R1 includes a decrease of $463,192 in ongoing cash funds spending authority for the Disabled Telephone Users Fund Payments line item appropriation to the Public Utilities Commission, as opposed to the requested decrease of $561,860. Factors influencing the difference in staff’s recommendation are additional expenditures not reflected in the original request, and forecasting differences between JBC staff and the Department.



DECISION ITEMS AFFECTING MULTIPLE DIVISIONS

R2: INTRASTATE PIPELINE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS REQUEST: The Department is requesting $511,062 in FY 2020-21 and $491,073 in subsequent fiscal years to increase Gas Pipeline Safety Unit personal services by 4.0 FTE at the Professional Engineer II classification and to add four inspection vehicles. The request for an appropriation would come entirely from the Fixed Utilities Cash Fund. The Department believes that the increase in FTE and program vehicles will significantly reduce the pipeline miles to inspector ratio and reduce Colorado’s effective inspection radius to better align with the national median. By reducing the Unit’s effective inspection radius, the Department anticipates that the number of pipeline incidents per million residents will also fall to align with the national average.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff’s recommendation includes an increase of $436,345 cash funds as opposed to the requested $511,062 by the department for FTE and new vehicles to be allocated to the Gas Pipeline Safety Unit within the Public Utilities Commission. The difference comes from applying Joint Budget Committee policy to exclude funding for Health, Life, Dental, AED, SAED, and Short Term Disability Line Items for new FTE in the first year.

ANALYSIS: BACKGROUND ON THE GAS PIPELINE SAFETY UNIT The Gas Pipeline Safety Unit (GPS Unit) falls under the Public Utilities Commission division of the Department. The GPS Unit currently has 6.0 FTE engineers and the unit expended $876,008 in FY 2018-19. GPS staff ensures compliance with state safety regulations and inspects and monitors pipeline system operators. The GSP Unit is responsible for inspecting all intrastate pipelines, meaning all pipelines with origination and destination points that fall within Colorado borders. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) within the U.S. Department of Transportation is generally responsible for all interstate pipeline inspections and setting minimum safety standards for state agencies. GSP engineers have jurisdiction over three separate intrastate gas pipeline line categorizations, which take gas from production wells to homes and businesses:

Gas gathering lines, which transmit natural gas from production wells to transmission pipelines.

Gas transmission lines, which transport the product from gathering lines to processing facilities.

Gas distribution lines, which transport the product from processing facilities to homes and businesses.

Currently, the unit engineers oversee 64,944 miles of gas pipelines including; 56,246 miles of distribution lines, 7,731 miles of transmission line, and 967 miles of gathering lines.



GAS PIPELINE SAFETY UNIT REGULATIONS The Gas Pipeline Safety Unit is primarily responsible for making sure pipelines under its jurisdiction are designed, operated, and maintained in a manner that both protects public safety and meets guidelines set by the federal government. The Unit uses three regulatory methods to meet these goals; pipeline inspections, incident investigations, and pipeline operator training. Pipeline inspections are the most frequent regulatory mechanism that the GPS Unit uses, and can be categorized into four categories.

Standard inspections focus on the procedures and processes that the pipeline operator use in the operation and maintenance of their pipeline system.

Construction inspections involve the design, construction and testing of pipeline systems.

Integrity management inspections audit pipeline development and implementation plans for identifying threats, determining likelihood of pipeline failure, and reviewing threat mitigation strategies.

Other inspections prioritize training and qualification inspections for operators with expanded programmatic duties, or operators with a have a history of compliance problems, as well as follow- up inspections.

Incident investigations are conducted based on various sources of information, from pipeline operator’s reports to local emergency response officials and media stories. Reportable incidents can vary widely in their nature as well, including; incorrect operation, pipe or weld material failure, equipment failure, and natural force damage. The table below outlines how many inspections were conducted in each category in 2018.

NUMBER OF INSPECTIONS PERFORMED BY

CATEGORY: 2018 Standard 265

Construction 83

Integrity 56

Operator Qualification 19

Incident investigations 39

Compliance follow-up 10

TOTAL 472

Pipeline operator training plays a large role in the duties of the GPS Unit. GPS Unit engineers are required by PHMSA to attend multiple training sessions offered by the federal government before being allowed to lead any inspections, and pipeline operators must have a valid PHMSA identification number. The program holds a training seminar at least every other year, but training pipeline operators on regulations are a consistent component of all inspections. As of calendar year 2018 the GPS Unit was responsible for training sixty pipeline operators covering three gas distribution systems, six liquid petroleum distribution systems, 22 gas distribution systems, and four gas gathering systems. COLORADO VERSUS NATIONAL BENCHMARKS



Historical and recent annual audits by PHMSA on the GPS Unit’s field and office work have indicated that the program is consistent and compliant with federal metrics developed for state gas pipeline safety program evaluation, however analysis shows that Colorado has both a higher inspection radius and more pipeline incidents per million people than the national average. The effective inspection radius, which is the number of miles covered compared to available inspection staff, has a national average of around 60 miles, while Colorado has an effective inspection radius of nearly 100 miles. In addition, the average number of incidents per million residents of a state was about four, while Colorado reports almost seven incidents per million residents. As indicated in the graph below, more than half of the states with an effective inspection radius of higher than the national average (including Colorado) also had an incident rate higher than the national average.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving the request to expand the number of Gas Pipeline Safety Engineers from 6.0 FTE to 10.0 FTE to reduce the pipeline miles monitored by each engineer. As indicated by the data displayed above, the frequency of incidents appears to correlate with the effective inspection radius. Staff recommends excluding funding for certain centrally appropriated line items in FY 2020-21, consistent with committee policy.

DECISION ITEMS - PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION

R1: ADJUST UNUSED TELECOMMUNICATIONS SPENDING AUTHORITY REQUEST: The Department is requesting a reduction of $561,860 in ongoing cash funds spending authority for the Disabled Telephone Users Fund Payments line item appropriation to the Public Utilities Commission. This request will bring spending authority levels in line with current projected use of Relay Colorado. Relay Colorado is a free telephone service enacted in statute (Section 40-17-101 C.R.S.) that provides text-telephone services to those who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled. Usage of this service has fallen over the last five years, primarily because of advances in technology.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff’s recommendation includes a decrease of $463,192 in cash funds spending authority as opposed to the requested $561,860 by the Department. Staff’s analysis shows projects a drop in Disabled Telephone Users Fund expenditures of 5.12 percent in FY 2019-20 and an additional drop of 5.59 percent in FY 2020-21. Staff’s projection is based on year to date expenditures, and the average annual change in expenditure over the last three years.

ANALYSIS: Relay Colorado is a free service that provides full telephone access to people who are deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled. The service allows text-telephone users to communicate with traditional telephone users through trained relay operators. Enacted into law through section 40-17-101 C.R.S. in 1992, Relay Colorado is a state sponsored program that contracts with relay providers, rather than each individual telecommunications carrier operating under their own contract to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The appropriation to the Disabled Telephone Users Fund for Relay Colorado contract payments was reduced in FY 2017-18 from $1,900,542 to $1,300,542 due to decreased use of the program, which is contracted on a minutes used basis. Since that reduction usage rates for the Relay Colorado program have continued to fall, resulting in expenditures of $882,555 in FY 2018-19, driven primarily by technological advances for the deaf, hard of hearing, deaf-blind, or speech disabled communities. With the steady decline of usage, the Department is requesting to adjust its spending authority, which is informational, to more accurately reflect expected expenditures. The Department used recent usage trends to forecast a FY 2020-21 expenditure of $738,682. In staff’s analysis, year to date spending was used to anticipate current year expenditures. Staff then use a three year average change in annual expenditures to project FY 2020-21 spending. The tables below illustrate staff’s approach in projecting program expenditures for the current and upcoming fiscal years.

PAYMENTS TO DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH CARE POLICY AND FINANCING Federal regulations require the state to certify nurse aides who work in medical facilities with Medicaid or Medicare patients. Federal matching funds pay half the cost of the Medicaid portion of this program, but the Department cannot apply directly for the federal match because Medicaid's centralization rules require that the matching funds be routed through the Department of Health Care Policy and Financing. Nurse aide certification was modified to require criminal background checks, for which a match is required from the Division of Professions and Occupations Cash Fund.
