Action
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
RSPA is proposing changes to the current registration and fee assessment program for persons engaged in transporting or offering for transportation certain categories and quantities of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce under the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The proposed changes would increase the annual registration fee for a number of persons by distinguishing between large, medium, and small entities that conduct operations in one or more of the several categories for which registration is required. The intended effect of the proposed changes is to provide a sound basis for funding the national emergency response training and planning grant program.
