3. Modify assignment of the
registration fee and/or amount based on
the commensurate hazard posed (e.g.,
shipping Packing Group I materials vs.
Packing Group III materials) 4 or risk
profile (e.g., frequent vs. infrequent
shipments).
4. Expand the registration
requirements. For example, certain
hazardous materials are not subject to
placarding when shipped domestically.
Therefore, a person who offers for
transportation, or transports, these
materials is generally exempt from
registration, but these requirements
could be expanded with appropriate
risk-based justifications.
5. Expand the registration fee
requirements to include certain persons
who acquire approvals or special
permits from PHMSA that otherwise are
not subject to registration, but which
should be based on a public risk-based
justification.
If Congress allows an increase in the
maximum fee, PHMSA is considering
the following options for comment:
1. Maintain the current maximum
registration fees and create an upper tier
of a higher fee for a certain category of
very large businesses. If this approach is
preferred, how should PHMSA define a
‘‘very large business?’’ Specifically,
what risk factors should go into
determining a very large business
classification to better account for
market-based risks to the public as well
as equity factors between applicants.
2. Change the registration
requirements to reduce the overall
number of registrants.
3. Keep the existing registration
requirements and raise the registration
fee for large businesses from $2,575 to
a dollar value below the Congressionally
authorized maximum fee (e.g., if the
maximum allowed were increased from
$3,000 to $5,000).
4. Raise fees for specific business
types, classes of material, or
commodities (e.g., poisonous by
inhalation material), which are
considered extremely high risk.
Once the comment period concluded
for the ANPRM, PHMSA received seven
sets of comments from the regulated
community—which provided some
insight on how to adjust the mandated
registration and fee assessment program.
Some ideas expressed within the
comments PHMSA received were:
1. Maintaining a two-tiered fee
structure and raising HAZMAT
registration fees in a manner that will
4 Packing group means a grouping according to
the degree of danger presented by hazardous
materials. Packing Group I indicates great danger;
Packing Group II, medium danger; Packing Group
III, minor danger.

not disproportionately impact small
businesses.
2. Endorsing the current two-tiered
fee system based on the level of
commercial activity assigned to
business entities by the Small Business
Administration (SBA) and opposing
broadening the universe of registrants
beyond shippers and carriers of
placarded loads.
3. Raising the $3,000 per registrant fee
cap.
4. Supporting the current two-tiered
fee structure as well established and
capable of generating the additional
funds authorized in the IIJA,
minimizing complexity, and providing
clear identification of those who are
required to pay the appropriate fees.
5. Opposing additional criteria,
revising the defining criteria for small or
non-small businesses, or adding
additional types of businesses that
would need to register.
Due to the limited number of
comments received, PHMSA is holding
this public meeting in hopes of
garnering more substantive feedback
and information on the most
appropriate and equitable manner to
adjust the registration and fee
assessment program to meet the
authorized increase set forth in the IIJA.
Issued in Washington, DC, on May 23,
2023, under the authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.97.

Associate Administrator for Hazard Materials
Safety, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration.
II. Meeting Agenda
DATES:
At this meeting, PHMSA will address
the following topics:
1. Data points PHMSA has garnered
from an independent working group.
2. Establishing a new registration
group (e.g., packaging manufacturers)
and potentially raising registration fees
on businesses other than small
businesses based on risk-based transport
of hazardous materials.
3. Open floor—any items not covered
in the ANPRM, or new suggestions
mentioned by commenters to the
ANPRM.
III. Public Participation
The meeting will be open to the
public; however, any member of the
public who wishes to attend must RSVP
