Title: Hazardous Materials Regulations: Penalty Guidelines
Abstract: This final rule would make revisions to baseline civil assessments for violation of regulations issued under Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. Chapter 51). This final rule is published under the authority of 49 U.S.C. 5123 which provides civil penalties for violations of Federal hazardous material transportation law or a regulation, order, special permit, or approval issued under that law. These guidelines were first published in the Federal Register on March 6, 1995, in response to a request contained in Senate Report 103-150 that accompanied the Department of Transportation and Related Agencies Appropriations Act of 1994, and are updated periodically. The revisions contemplated would have incorporated risked-based assessment criteria to the penalty guidelines. This action will be terminated because we need to complete additional analysis on how the risk-based assessment criteria would be applied.
