Today, the DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice I the Federal Register (89 FR 18479-18482) listing the latest additions to their list of frequently asked questions (FAQ). Back in March of 2022, PHMSA began the process of converting existing Letters of Interpretation (LOI) into frequently asked questions of broader interest to the HAZMAT community. This latest tranche of questions deals with hazardous materials safety training in support of the hazardous materials regulations. The second set of questions was published [removed from paywall] in August of 2023.
Solicitation of Public Comments
PHMSA is soliciting public comments on this proposed set of FAQ and responses. Comments may be submitted via the Federal eRulemaking Portal (www.Regulations.gov; Docket #PHMSA-2021-0109). Comments should be submitted by April 12th, 2024.
Commentary
As I found previously, PHMSA has not apparently published
the two previous sets of FAQs on their web site. There are currently two
different FAQ lists (here
and here).
The first was updated in September of last year and the former was updated in
2019, but neither contain the FAQs previously published as part of this
initiative. These FAQ’s would fit in very well with the first page of existing FAQs
as it has sub-pages for different topics.
For more information on this notice, including a list of new
FAQ questions, see my article at CFSN Detailed Analysis - https://patrickcoyle.substack.com/p/phmsa-publishes-latest-additions
