Title: ●Hazardous Materials: Rescission of Electronically Controlled Pneumatic Braking Requirements (FAST Act) | |
Abstract:
PHMSA, in coordination with FRA, is rescinding requirements for electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brakes on high-hazard flammable unit trains promulgated in the May 8, 2015 final rule titled "Enhanced Tank Car Standards and Operational Controls for High-Hazard Flammable Trains" (HM-251; 80 FR 26643). After careful review, and as mandated by section 7311 of the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act, the Department of Transportation has reviewed the final updated Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) and determined that the HM-251 Final Rule's electronically controlled pneumatic (ECP) brake requirements are not economically justified, as the expected benefits do not exceed the expected costs. |
