 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Comprehensive One-Call Notification Act of 1994 - Requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to establish a nationwide telephone number to be used by local and regional underground facility location services and by one-call systems established under this Act. Requires each State to establish a comprehensive statewide one-call (call before you dig) notification system in order to protect all underground facilities (underground lines of any kind) from damage due to excavation. Authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to impose sanctions against States for nonparticipation. Sets forth required elements of the one-call systems and penalties for system violations.

Directs the Office of Pipeline Safety of the Department of Transportation to draft and make available to States a model one-call system program in order to assist States in complying with this Act. Requires approval from the Secretary of an alternative form of one-call system. Requires State status reports.
