The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has issued a final rule regarding how hazardous materials are packaged for transport.
Why it matters: This is a technical administrative change intended to reduce paperwork and regulatory uncertainty for companies that rely on specialized containers. It ensures that a company doesn’t have to stop using a functional, approved container just because a manufacturing permit has been updated or closed.
Who it affects
- Companies that manufacture or sell specialized hazardous material packaging
This rule was issued by the Department of Transportation’s PHMSA; readers should consult the Federal Register for the full text before making compliance decisions.
