Exemption, Approval, Registration and Reporting Procedures; Miscellaneous Provisions

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

To expedite processing of applications and to promote clarity and program consistency, RSPA is proposing to revise the procedures for applying for exemptions and to establish procedures for applying for approvals, registering (other than the hazmat registration program), and reporting. In addition, the proposed rule would amend in minor ways a number of provisions, mostly procedural. The intended effect of this NPRM is to provide guidance for persons required to obtain an approval, register, or report with RSPA. By clarifying the requirements, RSPA would reduce the need to seek additional information necessary to complete the processing of applications. The proposed changes also would reduce the processing time.
