PHMSA 12-30 withdraw 1-27-2011 NPRM.pdf
On December 30, 2015 (80 FR 81501), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice in the federal register to withdraw the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) published January 27, 2011 (76 FR 4847) to stop the transportation of flammable liquid material in unprotected external product piping on Department of Transportation (DOT) specification cargo tank motor vehicles as mandated by the “Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act” or the “FAST Act”. Although PHMSA is withdrawing its rulemaking proposal, PHMSA will continue to consider methods to improve the safety of transporting flammable liquid by cargo tank motor vehicle. PHMSA will also continue to analyze current incident data and improve the collection of future incident data to assist in making an informed decision on methods to address this issue further, if warranted. The NPRM published January 27, 2011 (76 FR 4847) is withdrawn as of December 30, 2015.
