Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE, East Building, 2nd Floor,
Washington, DC 20590–0001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 6,
2019, PHMSA published a Notice of
Draft Environmental Assessment for a
Special Permit Request for Liquefied
Natural Gas by Rail (PHMSA–2019–
0100–0002) in the Federal Register.
PHMSA solicited comment on the draft
environmental assessment (EA) for a
special permit request from Energy
Transport Solutions, LLC. The notice
requested comment on potential safety,
environmental, and any additional
impacts that should be considered as
part of the special permit evaluation.
See Docket No. PHMSA–2019–0100 for
further information on the draft special
permit.
The comment period closed on
August 7, 2019. PHMSA received
approximately 2,985 comments to the
docket for the notice. In consideration of
the request for special permit and the
2,985 comments received to the notice,
PHMSA completed a technical
evaluation and a revised EA. For more
information on the comments received
please see the revised EA, Section 6
PHMSA’s Response to Public
Comments, included in both this docket
and the docket for the draft EA and
special permit. PHMSA invites public
comments relevant to the rulemaking on
these materials to be submitted to the
rulemaking docket (Docket No.
PHMSA–2018–0025).
The special permit—as issued—
includes certain operational controls
that were not included in the draft
special permit, draft EA, and the
‘‘Hazardous Materials: Liquefied Natural
Gas by Rail’’ (HM–264) notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Specifically, paragraph 7.c of the special
permit states the following:
7.c. OPERATIONAL CONTROLS:
(1) Each tank car must be operated in
accordance with § 173.319 except as
specified in paragraph 7.a. above.1
(2) Shipments are authorized between
Wyalusing, PA and Gibbstown, NJ, with
no intermediate stops.
(3) Within 90 days after issuance, the
grantee shall prepare and submit a plan
1 Paragraph 7.a. authorizes DOT–113C120W tank
cars for bulk transport of LNG and specifies that
each tank car must have a maximum permitted
filling density (percent by weight) of 32.5%; a
maximum operating pressure of 15 psig when
offered for transportation; and remote sensing for
detecting and reporting internal pressure, location,
and leakage.

providing per shipment quantities,
timelines, and other actions to be taken
for moving from single car shipments to
multi-car shipments, and subsequently
to unit trains (20 or more tank cars).
(4) Trains transporting 20 or more
tank cars authorized under this special
permit must be equipped and operated
with a two-way end of train device as
defined in 49 CFR 232.5 or distributed
power as defined in 49 CFR 229.5.
(5) Prior to the initial shipment of a
tank car under this special permit, the
grantee must provide training to
emergency response agencies that could
be affected between the authorized
origin and destination. The training
shall conform to NFPA–472,2 including
known hazards in emergencies
involving the release of LNG, and
emergency response methods to address
an incident involving a train
transporting LNG.
(6) While in transportation, the
grantee must remotely monitor each
tank car for pressure, location, and
leaks.
These operational controls were
added as a result of PHMSA’s
consideration of the comments received
to the draft EA, PHMSA invites
comments on these operational controls
to be submitted to the rulemaking
docket (Docket No. PHMSA–2018–
0025). We encourage commenters to
provide data on the safety or economic
impacts associated with operational
controls in the special permit, including
analysis of the safety benefits and the
potential cost-benefit impact of
implementing these or other operational
controls.
