Docket No. PHMSA-06-25885 (HM-232F)

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is proposing to modify its current security plan requirements (49 CFR 172) governing the commercial transportation of hazmat by air, rail, vessel, and highway. To determine the types of materials that should be subject to security planning requirements, PHMSA evaluated specific transportation scenarios in which a terrorist could deliberately use hazardous materials to cause large-scale casualties and property damage. The proposed rule would narrow the list of materials subject to security plan requirements.

Comments to the proposed rule changes to the Security Plan Requirements are due by November 10, 2008 to www.regulations.gov — use docket number PHMSA-06-25885 on all correspondence.

For a copy of the proposed changes to the Security Plan Requirements (including a table summarizing the list of hazardous materials for which Transportation Security Plans will be required), contact Jessica Roger.
