Establishes standards for newly installed underground facilities related to locatability and mapping.

The bill amends the general business law and the public service law to establish standards for newly installed underground facilities, focusing on locatability and mapping. It defines terms such as "excavation," "underground facilities," and "locatable." The public service commission is required to establish minimum standards and implementation schedules for locatability and as-built location information. The bill also mandates that operators install facilities in a locatable manner, create and retain as-built location information, and use this data in executing their duties.
