Subject: HAZ, TOXICS - FR. DOT/PHMSA. Hazardous Materials: Enhanced Enforcement Authority Procedures

[Docket No. PHMSA-2005-22356]
RIN 2137-AE13
Hazardous Materials: Enhanced Enforcement Authority Procedures
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
Department of Transportation (DOT).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: PHMSA is implementing enhanced inspection, investigation, and
enforcement authority conferred on the Secretary of Transportation by
the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security
Reauthorization Act of 2005. This final rule establishes procedures for
issuance of emergency orders (restrictions, prohibitions, recalls, and
out-of-service orders) to address unsafe conditions or practices posing
an imminent hazard; opening packages to identify undeclared or non-
compliant shipments, when the person in possession of the package
refuses a request to open it; and the temporary detention and
inspection of potentially non-compliant packages. These inspection and
enforcement procedures will not change the current inspection
procedures for DOT, but will enhance DOT's existing enforcement
authority and allow us to respond immediately and effectively to
conditions or practices that pose serious threats to life, property, or
the environment. As this rule affects only agency enforcement
procedures, it therefore results in no additional burden of compliance
costs to industry.
DATES: This final rule is effective May 2, 2011.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Vincent M. Lopez, Office of Chief
Counsel, (202) 366-4400, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration.
