Hazmat Agency Delays Compliance For Transport, Labeling Rule

摘要

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration won't penalize companies complying with new, but inconsistent, hazardous material regulations, the agency announced Feb. 27. PHMSA said it will allow handlers to comply with either new international rules or current domestic rules for transporting hazardous materials via air or water. The agency will also allow those packages to be labeled by either the new or old regulations, without taking enforcement action.
