FRA Publishes Rail Hazmat Routing Appeal Rule

On Wednesday the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published the final rule for procedures for appealing hazmat rail routing decisions by PHMSA. This rule goes into effect December 26th, 2008. I have not yet had a chance to read this rule, but if there are any significant changes between this final rule and the proposed rule issued earlier this year, I’ll address those changes in a future blog.
