I know it's late, but down here, most AHJ's will red tag ANY cut micro-lam beam (AKA glue-lam). The TJI 'I' beams (the ones with particle board (OSB) in the middle and 2x2's on the top and bottom have a lot more leeway for access holes. Most Lam beams have to be special ordered with access holes, IIRC.
