II. Purpose of Public Meeting
PHMSA is considering revising the
fitness determination criteria to
streamline the application process while
maintaining the focus on safety. PHMSA
is holding a public meeting to provide
an opportunity for all interested parties
to comment on the fitness review
process.
Specifically, PHMSA seeks comments
relative to the use of the U.S. DOT’s
Hazmat Intelligence Portal (HIP) data,
the potential use of alternative sources
of fitness data, and other information
that should be considered during the
fitness review process.
Please note that stakeholders are
encouraged to submit their comments to
the Docket (PHMSA–2011–0283) prior
to the February 29, 2012 meeting, and
through a 30 day comment period
ending on March 30, 2012. (Please see
the Comment Submission section
above.) Furthermore, in order to collect
the verbal comments quickly and
accurately, PHMSA will be employing a
stenographer (court reporter) to
transcribe the meeting dialogue into
written notes. The notes (meeting
minutes) will be placed in the Docket at
a later date, when ready.
Issued in Washington, DC, on January 27,
2012.
Magdy El-Sibaie,
Associate Administrator for Hazardous
Materials Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration.
