Action
Advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANPRM).
Summary
RSPA is requesting comments on a research study conducted by the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI) titled ``The Dynamics of Tank-Vehicle Rollover and the Implications for Rollover-Protection Devices.'' The intended effect of this action is to obtain information concerning the need, if any, for amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) concerning cargo tank rollover damage protection devices, the costs and benefits associated with such amendments, and ways to minimize impacts on small businesses. This ANPRM addresses DOT specification cargo tanks used for the transportation of liquid hazardous materials.
