ACTION: Notice of public meeting. AGENCY: SUMMARY: PHMSA and FRA are conducting a comprehensive review of design and operational factors that affect rail tank car safety. The two agencies invite interested persons to participate in a public meeting to address potential improvements to the design of hazardous materials tank cars that would enhance overall safety and security. Public meeting: December 14, 2006, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 5 p.m. ADDRESSES: Public meeting: The meeting will be held at the Hilton Garden-Franklin Square Hotel, 815 14th Street, NW., Washington, DC 20005.

Instructions: All submissions must include the agency name and docket number for this notice. Internet users may access comments received by DOT at. Note that comments received may be posted without change to https:// dms.dot.gov including any personal information provided. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michele M. Sampson (Michele.Sampson@dot.gov), Railroad Safety Specialist, Federal Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20590 (202–493– 6475) or Lucinda Henriksen (Lucinda.Henriksen@dot.gov), Trial Attorney, Office of Chief Counsel, Federal Railroad Administration, 1120 Vermont Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20590 (202–493–1345). SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law, 49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq., as amended by section 1711 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, Public Law 107–296 and Title VII of the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act-A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA–LU)) authorizes the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT) to ‘‘prescribe regulations for the safe transportation, including security, of hazardous material in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.’’ The Secretary has delegated this authority to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). The Secretary of Transportation also has authority over all areas of railroad safety (49 U.S.C. 20101 et seq.), and has delegated this authority to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). FRA has PO 00000 Frm 00109 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 issued a comprehensive set of Federal regulations governing the safety of all facets of freight and passenger railroad operations (49 CFR parts 200–244). FRA inspects railroads and shippers for compliance with both FRA regulations and Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–180). FRA also conducts research and development to enhance railroad safety. On May 24, 2006, PHMSA and FRA published a notice of public meeting (71 FR 30019) announcing initiation of a comprehensive review of design and operational factors that affect the safety of railroad tank car transportation of hazardous materials. As indicated in the notice, PHMSA and FRA are utilizing a risk management approach to identify ways to enhance the safe transportation of hazardous materials in tank cars, including tank car design, manufacture, and requalification; operational issues such as human factors, track conditions and maintenance, wayside hazard detectors, and signals and train control systems; and emergency response. Initially, PHMSA and FRA did not intend for the review to consider security issues, in part because PHMSA and FRA have been working closely with the Transportation Security Administration on developing proposed regulations to enhance the security of rail shipments of hazardous materials. Upon further consideration, PHMSA and FRA have decided to slightly expand the topics under review to consider enhancements and improvements to railroad tank cars transporting hazardous materials that may enhance the security of these cars. To facilitate public involvement in this review, PHMSA and FRA held a public meeting on May 31 and June 1, 2006 (see 71 FR 30019). The primary purpose of the public meeting was to surface and prioritize issues relating to the safe transportation of hazardous materials by railroad tank car.
