Hazardous Materials: Requirements for DOT Specification Cylinders; Extension of Comment Period and Announcement of Second Public Meeting

Proposed rule; extension of time to file comments and public meeting announcement.

RSPA is extending for 120 days, until May 28, 1999, the period for filing comments to a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published under Docket HM-220. RSPA is taking this action in response to petitions filed by the Compressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA) and the National Welding Supply Association, Inc. (NWSA). The petitioners requested that RSPA provide additional time to allow shippers, the gas and cylinder industries, and other interested parties sufficient time to review and address the changes proposed in the NPRM. RSPA also is holding a second public meeting on January 28, 1999, in Washington, DC to discuss the proposals.
