    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), part of the Department of Transportation, announced an extension of the public comment period for their proposed rule change on the transportation of hazardous materials. Initially set to close on January 27, 2025, the comment period is now extended by 90 days, ending on April 28, 2025. This extension comes after requests from organizations like the Railway Supply Institute and acknowledges the challenges posed by the holiday season in allowing stakeholders adequate time to respond. This proposed rule aims to enhance the safe transportation of hazardous materials by updating the Hazardous Materials Regulations.

Comments must be submitted by March 3, 2025, and can be sent via mail or through an online portal.

    The Maritime Administration wants to make sure special boats called launch barges are used for building things in the ocean. They ask people who own these boats to tell them if they want to help, and people can also give their opinions by March 3, 2025.
