Action
Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM).
Summary
On August 29, 1994, the President signed the ``Hazardous Materials Transportation Authorization Act of 1994'' (the Act). Section 122 of the Act requires RSPA to examine requirements that pertain to open head fiber drum packaging in domestic transportation. Specifically, RSPA is to determine whether there are standards other than the performance-based standards adopted under RSPA's rulemaking Docket No. HM-181, that will provide an equal or greater level of safety for the transportation of liquid hazardous materials. The purpose of this ANPRM is to solicit comments and proposals for alternate standards for open head fiber drum packaging.
