2137-AE80 201804 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2137 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration PHMSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Hazardous Materials: Miscellaneous Amendments Pertaining to DOT--Specification Cylinders

This rulemaking would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to revise certain requirements applicable to the manufacture, use, and requalification of DOT-specification cylinders. PHMSA is taking this action in response to petitions for rulemaking submitted by stakeholders and to agency review of the compressed gas cylinders regulations. Specifically, PHMSA would incorporate by reference or update the references to several Compressed Gas Association publications, amend the filling requirements for compressed and liquefied gases, expand the use of salvage cylinders, and revise and clarify the manufacture and requalification requirements for cylinders.

Other benefits include simplifying hazard communication requirements and increased filling density for certain gases leading to potentially fewer vehicle trips. A future rulemaking may result in a decrease in the annual burden and costs under certain OMB Control Numbers.
