DOT, EPA, and OSHA Release Latest Regulatory Plans
Posted on 12/19/2017 by Roger Marks
This week, the Federal government released the Fall 2017 “Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions.” Updated twice per year, the Unified Agenda gives industry stakeholders and the public a view into rulemaking activities in progress at major Federal agencies.
Lion staff is working now to summarize the relevant pieces of the Unified Agenda for hazmat shippers and EHS professionals. A Member Bulletin is forthcoming for current Lion Members, and a partial list of current hazmat, hazardous waste, environmental and OSHA safety rulemakings will be posted in this space.
Stay tuned!
Federal Agencies were required by Executive Order to finalize two deregulatory actions for every one new rule created in 2017. According to the Administration, in 2018 Federal Agencies plan to boost that ratio up to three-to-one. To check out the Agendas now, visit reginfo.gov.
The exercises in the DOT hazardous materials management course are especially helpful in evaluating your understanding of course information.

Well designed and thorough program. Excellent summary of requirements with references. Inclusion of regulations in hard copy form, as well as full electronic with state pertinent regulations included is a great bonus!

Excellent job. Made what is very dry material interesting. Thoroughly explained all topics in easy-to-understand terms.

Having the tutorial buttons for additional information was extremely beneficial.

Our instructor was very dynamic and kept everyone's interest. Hazmat shipping can be a dry, complicated topic but I was engaged the entire time.

These are the best commercial course references I have seen (10+ years). Great job!

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

Best course instructor I've ever had. Funny, relatable, engaging; made it interesting and challenged us as the professionals we are.
