Looking Back – 12-24-21 – ChemLock Fact Sheets

 Nearly every morning I start my computer time by looking at information from Google about what happened in my blog in the previous 24 hours. Google, and blogspot.com is a Google service, provides interesting pieces of analytical data about my blog readership. One item of particular interest is the top ten blog posts each day. As you would expect, most of those posts were from the last couple of days, but with 16 years of publishing this blog, every once-in-a-while, a blog post from ancient history rises into that list. 

Today blog post from December 24th, 2021, that looks at some of the Fact Sheet from the then new ChemLock program, makes the short list. Now that DHS is funded through the end of the fiscal year, the ChemLock program, CISA’s voluntary chemical facility security program, is back in operation. The fact sheets described in this post give a brief look at how the program works.

Review – Bills Introduced – 5-1-26

 Yesterday, with neither the House nor Senate in session, there was one bill introduced: 

HR 8646 Making appropriations for Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Related Agencies programs for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2027, and for other purposes. Rep. Harris, Andy [R-MD-1]

Review - HR 7011 Introduced – Railcar PRD Report

Back in January Rep Deluzio (D,PA) introduced HR 7011, the Under Pressure Act. The bill would require DOT’s Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) to prepare a report to Congress on the rate and causes of rail tank car pressure relief device (PRD) failures in derailment events. No new funding is authorized by this legislation. 

I can find no legislation in the 118th Congress that would be similar to HR 7011. It would appear that this bill is related to the NTSB preliminary report about issues with pressure release devices during the February 2023 East Palestine train derailment. 

Moving Forward  

Deluzio is a member of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee to which this bill is assigned for consideration. This means that there may be sufficient influence to see the bill considered by the Committee. Since this is simply a report to Congress bill, I see nothing that would engender any organized opposition. I would suspect that there would be some level of bipartisan support for the bill, but it remains to be seen if there would be sufficient support for the bill to move to the floor of the House for consideration under the suspension of the rules process.
