conducting operations under the

appropriate actions to prepare for,
respond to, and recover from a threat to
public health, welfare, or the
environment caused by actual or

incidents resulting from the Nebraska
and Iowa disasters. This Waiver Order

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
accordance with the provisions of 49
U.S.C. 5103(c), the Administrator for
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 EPA Region 7 or
USCG Eighth District within the
Nebraska and Iowa disaster areas. The
Waiver is granted to support the 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 the Nebraska
and Iowa disasters.

This Waiver Order covers all areas
identified in the declaration, 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 the Nebraska and Iowa disasters,
PHMSA’s Administrator has determined
that regulatory relief is in the public
interest and necessary to ensure the safe
transportation in commerce of
hazardous materials while the EPA and
USCG execute their recovery and
cleanup efforts in the disaster areas.
Specifically, PHMSA’s Administrator
finds that issuing this Waiver Order will
allow the EPA and USCG to conduct
their Emergency Support Function #10
response activities 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 Region 7 or
USCG Eighth District within the
Nebraska and Iowa disaster areas are
authorized to offer and transport nonradioactive hazardous materials under
alternative safety requirements imposed
by EPA Region 7 or USCG Eighth
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
immediately and shall remain in effect
for 60 days from the date of issuance.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 29,
2019.
Howard R. Elliott,
Administrator, Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration.
