Action
Final rule.
Summary
RSPA is maintaining the current annual registration fee of $300 (which includes a $50 processing fee), for persons engaged in transporting or offering for transportation certain categories and quantities of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. In addition, this final rule adopts two changes to the statutorily mandated registration and fee assessment program. Applicability of the registration requirement to materials that are extremely toxic by inhalation (Hazard Zone A) is expanded to include materials in a hazard class or division other than Division 2.3 or Division 6.1. RSPA is also adopting an exception from the registration requirement for foreign offerors, as authorized by the amended statute.
