Action
Proposed rule; Extension of comment period.
Summary
On August 21, 1995, RSPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal Register which invited public comment on a proposal to implement a pilot program for ticketing of certain hazardous materials transportation violations [Docket HM-207E, Notice 95-10, 60 FR 43430]. Under the program, RSPA would issue tickets for violations that do not have substantial impacts on safety. RSPA has received a request from the Hazardous Materials Advisory Council (HMAC) seeking an extension of the comment period in order to have more time to evaluate the proposals contained in the NPRM. RSPA concurs with this request and is extending the comment period by 30 days.
