STB Sends Regulatory Barriers NPRM to OMB

Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had received a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) from the Surface Transportation Board (STB) on “Eliminating Regulatory Barriers to Competition: Review of 49 CFR Part 1144” [link added]. This rulemaking was not listed in the Spring 2025 Unified Agenda, but it looks like this is the STB’s implementation of the requirements of EO 14267, Reducing Anti-Competitive Regulatory Barriers.

It does not look like this rulemaking will have any specific impact on hazmat transportation issues, so I will probably not be covering this rulemaking in any detail. I would expect to announce it’s publication in the appropriate Short Takes post.
