We’ve announced a proposed rule to improve hazardous materials transportation supply chains in the U.S. that are essential to U.S. manufacturers. ?? https://lnkd.in/ef-Dw_3s Here's what the proposed regulatory changes will do ?? 1) Reduce burdens for truck drivers by simplifying hazard communication requirements for fuels including gasoline that are transported in tanker trucks. 2) Encourage innovation and safety improvements to hazardous materials rail cars by reducing review times for tank car design improvements and addressing National Transportation Safety Board recommendations regarding improved design standards for rail tank cars. 3) Modernize standards for vital agricultural equipment by codifying manufacturing standards for newly built fertilizer tanks and permitting the use of video and fiber optics technologies to inspect and calibrate cargo tanks in both agricultural and non-agricultural operations. This rule is being submitted to the Federal Register, which means YOU can submit input to improve the proposal before its finalized, here: https://lnkd.in/e6rUHsqC
