Hazardous Materials: Revision of Requirements for Emergency Response Telephone Numbers
Document Number: E9-24799
Type: Rule
Date: 2009-10-19
Agency: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, Department of Transportation
In this final rule, PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations to clarify requirements governing emergency response information services provided by arrangement with hazardous materials offerors (shippers). In order to preserve the effectiveness of these arrangements for providing accurate and timely emergency response information, PHMSA is requiring basic identifying information (offeror name or contract number) to be included on shipping papers. This information will enable the emergency response information provider to identify the offeror on whose behalf it is accepting responsibility for providing emergency response information in the event of a hazardous materials incident and obtain additional information about the hazardous material as needed.
