Action
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
To streamline administrative procedures, cut costs, and reduce regulatory burdens on persons subject to hazardous materials transportation law, RSPA is proposing to implement a pilot program for ticketing of certain hazardous materials transportation violations. Under the program, RSPA would issue tickets for violations that do not have substantial impacts on safety. These violations may include, among others, operating under an expired exemption, failing to register, failing to maintain training records, and failing to file incident reports. Procedures under this pilot program would be less complicated than current procedures for civil penalty actions, and penalties would be substantially reduced for persons who elect to pay the amounts assessed in the tickets.
