Applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to Loading, Unloading and Storage

Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM); notice of meeting.

This ANPRM announces three public meetings at which RSPA will seek ideas, proposals and recommendations regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to particular hazardous materials transportation activities. This information will help the agency to consolidate, clarify, revise and update existing agency interpretations, rulings and decisions regarding the applicability of the HMR and determine whether there is a need to amend the HMR. Clarifying the applicability of the HMR will facilitate compliance and will have the beneficial effect of clarifying the applicability of other Federal, State, local and Indian tribe hazardous materials requirements.
