The DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety
Administration (PHMSA) published two notices in today’s Federal Register {79 FR 21838-21840
(NY); 79
FR 21840-21842 (PA)} concerning requests by the American Trucking
Association for determination of preemption of hazardous material permitting
rules in New York City and Pittsburgh, PA. A determination of preemption would
mean that the cities could not require the permits in question nor collect the
fees for those permits.

asked PHMSA to determine if the Federal Hazmat Transportation Law (49
USC Chapter 51) preempts the hazardous material transportation permitting
requirements of Section 2702-02 of Title 3 of the Rules of the City of New York.
Pittsburgh
The ATA has
asked PHMSA to determine if the Federal Hazmat Transportation Law (49
