    💰
    Type:Notice
    Citation:89 FR 99327
    Reading Time:about 34 minutes

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), part of the Department of Transportation, is proposing new procedures to implement the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). These procedures establish categorical exclusions (CEs), which are categories of actions deemed to typically have minimal environmental impacts. PHMSA invites public comments on these proposed CEs and procedures, aiming to ensure their activities minimize environmental effects and involve public and governmental engagement. Comments must be submitted by January 9, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government is making a new plan to quickly check if some actions are safe for the environment, like making sure that new rules for pipelines won't hurt nature too much. They want people to read their plan, say if they think it's good or bad, and write back by January 9, 2025, to help make sure they're doing a good job protecting the earth.

  • 2025-04605 — Hazardous Materials: Request for Feedback on Determining the Effectiveness of Pressure Relief Devices (PRDs) on Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs)
    Type:Notice
    Citation:90 FR 12934
    Reading Time:about 8 minutes

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is seeking public feedback on its proposed tests for composite overwrapped pressure vessels (COPVs) with different pressure relief devices (PRDs). These tests aim to help develop better safety guidelines for COPVs, especially those transporting flammable gases, by assessing the effectiveness of PRDs under fire conditions. The agency invites comments on the proposed test setups, including the duration of bonfire tests, the adequacy of sample size, and the selection of PRDs. PHMSA also asks for input on the potential impacts of using thermal activation PRDs compared to pressure/temperature-activated ones.

    Simple Explanation

    PHMSA wants to know if special safety devices on containers carrying gases can keep them safe during a fire. They are asking people for ideas on how to do this testing better.
