Hazardous Materials: Improving Efficiencies for Special Permits and Approvals Renewals
Key claim: PHMSA’s final rule lets applicants file special-permit or approval renewals any time on or before the expiration date instead of the prior 60-day advance deadline.
Abstract
(Rule · Transportation Department, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration) This final rule amends the Hazardous Materials Program Procedures to allow an application to renew a special permit or approval to be filed any time on or before its expiration date rather than requiring the renewal application to be filed 60 days in advance as under the current regulations.
Why this matters
PHMSA’s final rule lets applicants file special-permit or approval renewals any time on or before the expiration date instead of the prior 60-day advance deadline.
