Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading, and Storage; Extension of Comment Period and Announcement of Public Meetings

Proposed rule; extension of time to file comments and public meeting announcement.

On June 14, 2001, RSPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking to clarify the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to specific functions and activities, including hazardous materials loading, unloading, and storage operations. We are extending until November 30, 2001, the period for filing comments to the proposed rule. In addition, we are conducting two public meetings to facilitate public comment on the proposed rule. One public meeting is scheduled for September 14, 2001, in Washington, DC; a second public meeting is scheduled for October 30, 2001, in Diamond Bar, California.
