It was a relatively quiet week last week after the tumult of the now-completed election season. With the transition between administrations now underway, most federal agencies tend to follow a low profile, since policy and priorities are likely to shift in January. Meanwhile, here is the week’s news:
PHMSA
The agency has released its latest tranche of special permit actions. See the results below at the three provided links:
FMCSA
The agency published a final rule that amends its regulations by making technical corrections throughout the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). The agency makes minor changes to correct inadvertent errors and omissions, remove or update obsolete references, and improve the clarity and consistency of certain regulatory provisions. The agency also makes a change to its rules of organization, procedures, and practice. See the changes here.
OSHA
The agency published an ICR related to its Methylene Chloride standard. This chemical is hazardous, but is widely used in industry, so OSHA closely monitors safety standards related to it. See the ICR here.
