Notice Regarding Preemption Determinations Delayed Beyond 180 Days.
Summary
This notice advises interested parties that RSPA's Office of the Chief Counsel maintains (on its internet website and in paper form) a chart showing the current status of each administrative proceeding on applications for a determination that Federal hazardous material transportation law preempts requirements of States, political subdivisions of States, or Indian tribes. When a decision has not been issued within 180 days after publication of a notice of the application in the Federal Register, this chart includes the reasons why the decision is delayed and an estimate of the additional time necessary before the decision will be issued. This chart is intended to provide more up-to-date information on the status of preemption applications than a single notice in the Federal Register whenever a decision has not been issued within 180 days after publication of the notice of the application.
