Notice of meeting; issues to be discussed in Sacramento.
Summary
On July 29, 1996, RSPA published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking and notice of meeting in the Federal Register. In that document, RSPA announced three public meetings at which it would seek ideas, proposals and recommendations regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to particular hazardous materials transportation activities. The first of the three public meetings was held in Atlanta, Georgia on September 13, 1996. Based on information gathered at that public meeting and information in the docket, RSPA is announcing the topics to be discussed at the September 25, 1996 meeting in Sacramento, California, by two working groups comprised of interested members of the public. Those two topics are: The unloading of hazardous materials and the storage of hazardous materials. Also, commenters to date have identified several factors which could provide a framework for possible regulation in these areas. These factors are set forth in this notice and will serve as a starting point for discussion for each working group in Sacramento.
