Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
RSPA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to remove Subpart I of 49 CFR Part 172, ``Radiation Protection Program'' and related modal provisions that require persons who offer, accept for transportation, or transport radioactive materials to develop and maintain a written radiation protection program. This action is necessary to address difficulties and complexities concerning implementation of and compliance with the requirements for a radiation protection program, as evidenced by comments received from the radioactive material transportation industry and other interested parties.
