NPRM 08/31/2015 N/A Public Comment, Analysis PHMSA anticipates that this NPRM will generally reduce burdens for most stakeholders and eliminate the need to apply for special permits, as three special permits may be incorporated and lower paperwork burden. Other benefits include simplifying hazard communication requirements and increased filling density for certain gases leading to potentially fewer vehicle trips. A future rulemaking may result in a decrease in the annual burden and costs under certain OMB Control Numbers. 34 Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Hazardous Materials: Reverse Logistics (RRR) This rulemaking would address changes to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) that are applicable to reverse logistics based on petitions received by PHMSA. The issue of reverse logistics involves the transportation of hazardous materials that have been damaged or returned from the retailer to a return center. Final Rule 10/30/2015 N/A Public Comment, Analysis anticipates that this Final Rule will reduce the burden on most stakeholders by reducing the amount of training required by employers.
