Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
RSPA is proposing to revise the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by restructuring the cylinder specification requirements. The intended effect of this rulemaking is to reduce the size of the HMR through consolidation of repetitive requirements and other formatting changes. This action will eliminate pages of regulations without substantially changing the regulatory requirements or affecting safety. It is in response to President Clinton's March 4, 1995 Regulatory Reinvention Initiative memorandum to heads of departments and agencies calling for a review of all agency regulations. RSPA is also proposing to make corresponding reference changes throughout the HMR.
