PHMSA Finalizes Enhanced Enforcement Authority Procedures

Posted on 3/15/2011 by James Griffin

On March 2, 2011 PHMSA published a final rule implementing enhanced enforcement procedures authorized by the Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005. These new procedures supplement those currently in place, and apply to all of the DOT’s operating administrations. The new requirements become effective on May 2, 2011.

Under these new procedures the DOT can now:
  • detain potentially noncompliant packages for inspection.
  • open detained packages, in order to identify non-compliant or undeclared hazmat.
  • issue out-of-service orders to remove transport vehicles or packages from transportation to mitigate imminent hazards.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

Lion is at the top of the industry in compliance training. Course content and structure are updated frequently to make annual re-training enjoyable. I like that Lion has experts that I can contact for 1 year after the training.

Given the choice, I would do all coursework this way. In-person courses go very fast without the opportunity to pause or repeat anything.
