Action
Supplemental advance notice of proposed rulemaking.
Summary
On July 29, 1996, the Research and Special Programs Administration published an advance notice of proposed rulemaking inviting public comment on the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations to loading, unloading, and storage of hazardous materials. We are continuing to evaluate this issue to determine the best way to promote safety in transportation and transportation-related activities. To assure that agency decisions are based on the best information available and take account of the views of all interested persons, we are issuing this supplemental advance notice of proposed rulemaking to highlight comments received and request additional information.
