The Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration is
issuing an emergency waiver order to
persons conducting operations under
the direction of Environmental
Protection Agency Regions 2 or 4 or
United States Coast Guard 7th District
within the Hurricane Irma emergency
and disaster areas of Florida, Puerto
Rico, South Carolina, and the United
States Virgin Islands. This Waiver Order
is effective September 8, 2017, and shall
remain in effect for 30 days from the

SUMMARY:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the provisions of
49 U.S.C. 5103(c), the Acting
Administrator for the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA), hereby
declares that an emergency exists that
warrants issuance of a Waiver of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR,
49 CFR parts 171–180) to persons
conducting operations under the
direction of Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 2 (290 Broadway,
New York, NY 10007–1866) or Region 4
(61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta, GA
30303) or United States Coast Guard
(USCG) 7th District (Brickell Plaza
Federal Building, 909 SE 1st Avenue,
Miami, FL 33131–3050) within the
Hurricane Irma emergency and disaster
areas of Florida, Puerto Rico, South
Carolina, and the United States Virgin
Islands. The Waiver is granted to
support EPA and USCG in taking
appropriate actions to prepare for,
respond to, and recover from a threat to
public health, welfare, or the
environment caused by actual or
potential oil and hazardous materials
incidents resulting from Hurricane Irma.
On September 5, 2017, the President
issued an Emergency Declaration for
PO 00000
Frm 00145
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
44699
Hurricane Irma for all 67 Florida
counties (EM–3385), and all 78
municipalities in the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico (EM–3384). On September
7, 2017, the President issued an
Emergency Declaration for Hurricane
Irma for all 46 South Carolina counties
and the Catawba Indian Nation (EM–
3386), and a Major Disaster Declaration
for all of the United States Virgin
Islands (DR–4335).
This Waiver Order covers all areas
identified in the declarations, as
amended. Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. 5103(c),
PHMSA has authority delegated by the
Secretary (49 CFR 1.97(b)(3)) to waive
compliance with any part of the HMR
provided that the grant of the waiver is:
(1) In the public interest; (2) not
inconsistent with the safety of
transporting hazardous materials; and
(3) necessary to facilitate the safe
movement of hazardous materials into,
from, and within an area of a major
disaster or emergency that has been
declared under the Robert T. Stafford
Disaster Relief and Emergency
Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.).
Given the continuing impacts caused
by Hurricane Irma, PHMSA’s Acting
Administrator has determined that
regulatory relief is in the public interest
and necessary to ensure the safe
transportation in commerce of
hazardous materials while EPA and
USCG execute their recovery and
cleanup efforts in Florida, Puerto Rico,
South Carolina, and the United States
Virgin Islands. Specifically, PHMSA’s
Acting Administrator finds that issuing
this Waiver Order will allow EPA and
USCG to conduct their emergency
support function under the National
Response Framework to safely remove,
transport, and dispose of hazardous
materials. By execution of this Waiver
Order, persons conducting operations
under the direction of EPA Regions 2 or
4 or USCG 7th District within the
Hurricane Irma emergency and disaster
areas of Florida, Puerto Rico, South
Carolina, and the United States Virgin
Islands are authorized to offer and
transport non-radioactive hazardous
materials under alternative safety
requirements imposed by EPA Regions
2 or 4 or USCG 7th District when
compliance with the HMR is not
practicable. Under this Waiver Order,
non-radioactive hazardous materials
may be transported to staging areas
within 50 miles of the point of origin.
Further transportation of the hazardous
materials from staging areas must be in
full compliance with the HMR.
This Waiver Order is effective
September 8, 2017, and shall remain in
