Title: Hazardous Materials: Modernizing Regulations to Improve Safety and Efficiency 
Abstract:

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.
