2137-AF47 202310 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2137 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration PHMSA 2100 Department of Transportation DOT Hazardous Materials: Modernizing Regulations to Improve Safety and Efficiency

This rulemaking would consider potential amendments to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) identified by internal agency review and public comments. PHMSA has identified a number of complex amendments, including package design, regulatory updates, and incident reporting and data. Working closely with our stakeholders, PHMSA seeks to ensure the HMR is amended as necessary to reflect new technologies, improved manufacturing methods, and current economic conditions. Finally, this rulemaking may reduce costs by decreasing regulatory burdens without reducing safety.
