Elimination of Unnecessary and Duplicative Hazardous Materials Regulations

Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

RSPA is proposing to remove unnecessary, obsolete, and duplicative regulations contained in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). In addition, RSPA is proposing to reformat the Hazardous Materials Table and List of Hazardous Substances and Reportable Quantities that could eliminate approximately 100 pages of the CFR. The intended effect of this action is to make the HMR more user friendly, thus enhancing compliance. This action is in response to President Clinton's March 4, 1995 memorandum to heads of departments and agencies calling for a review of all agency regulations.
