Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
Federal agency responsible for regulations under Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.
84 regulationsHazardous Materials: Harmonization with International Standards
The federal government is proposing to update how hazardous materials like chemicals and flammable liquids are classified and transported to match international standards used by other countries. This change aims to make shipping these materials safer and more consistent whether they're moving across the U.S. or internationally.
Hazardous Materials: Modernizing Regulations to Facilitate Transportation of Hazardous Materials Integral to Spacecraft Components and Payloads
The federal government is updating rules for safely transporting dangerous materials that are part of spacecraft and satellites. These changes aim to make it easier for companies to ship these specialized components while keeping safety a priority.
HM-265 Final Rule with SIGNED EA
This regulation from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) updates safety rules for transporting hazardous materials like chemicals and gases. The rule aims to reduce risks and improve safety procedures for companies and workers involved in moving dangerous substances.
Pipeline Safety: Class Location Change Requirements
This regulation updates the rules for when and how pipeline companies must reclassify areas around their pipelines based on how developed the neighborhood has become. When homes and businesses grow near pipelines, the companies must follow stricter safety standards to protect people living there.
Hazardous Materials: Eliminating Unnecessary Regulatory Burdens on Fuel Transportation
This regulation simplifies rules for transporting fuel and other hazardous materials by truck, train, and pipeline to reduce unnecessary paperwork and costs for companies. The changes aim to make fuel transportation safer and more efficient while keeping the public protected from potential spills or accidents.
Hazardous Materials: Modernizing Regulations To Facilitate Transportation of Hazardous Materials Using Highly Automated Transportation Systems
The federal government is proposing to update safety rules for transporting dangerous materials using self-driving trucks and vehicles. This change would allow companies to use automated vehicles for hazardous cargo delivery while ensuring public safety through new guidelines and oversight.
Hazardous Materials: Adjusting Registration and Fee Assessment Program; Withdrawal
The federal government is withdrawing a proposed plan to change how companies register hazardous materials shipments and pay related fees. This decision affects transportation companies and businesses that ship dangerous goods like chemicals and flammable materials.
Pipeline Safety: Standards Update—ASTM F2600
The federal government updated safety standards for pipelines that carry hazardous liquids, adopting new technical guidelines from ASTM (a standards organization) to improve how pipelines are designed, tested, and maintained. These changes help reduce the risk of pipeline leaks and accidents that could harm communities and the environment.
Pipeline Safety: Property Damage Definition for Incident Reporting on Gas Pipelines and Accidents on Hazardous Liquid Pipelines; Withdrawal
The federal government has withdrawn a proposed rule that would have changed how pipeline companies report damage to property from gas and hazardous liquid pipeline accidents. This withdrawal means the old reporting rules remain in effect, and companies will continue using the current definitions to decide which incidents they need to report to regulators.
Pipeline Safety: Standards Update—ASTM F2767
The federal government updated safety standards for pipelines that carry natural gas and other hazardous liquids by adopting new technical guidelines from ASTM International. These updates aim to make pipelines safer and more reliable by establishing clearer requirements for how pipelines should be designed, built, and maintained.
Pipeline Safety: Standards Update—ASTM A578/A578M
The federal government updated safety standards for pipes that carry natural gas and other hazardous liquids by adopting new technical specifications from ASTM International. These updated standards help ensure that pipelines are made from higher-quality materials and are less likely to crack or fail, protecting communities from dangerous leaks and accidents.
Pipeline Safety: Standards Update—ASTM F2817
This regulation updates federal safety standards for pipelines that transport natural gas and other hazardous liquids by adopting new testing and inspection requirements from ASTM F2817. The update aims to prevent pipeline failures and leaks that could harm public safety and the environment.
