The U.S. Materials Transportation Bureau (MTB) of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to amend the hazardous materials regulations by establishing requirements for the transportation of certain cryogenic liquids. The main provisions of this regulation would relate to flammable or pressurized cryogens and would provide a DOT specification for a cargo tank for these liquids; authorize the rail carriage of ethylene, cryogenic liquid, in addition to hydrogen, cryogenic liquid; establish maintenance and use requirements for the containers used to transport these liquids; and for flammable cryogens, expand the scope of the regulations to encompass the transportation of these materials in intrastate commerce by highway, require DOT registration of certain shippers and carriers of these materials, and require the training of drivers. In addition to cryogenic liquids, it is also proposed to authorize the bulk transportation of ethane and hydrogen chloride, anhydrous. A public hearing is scheduled for 4/17/79 and comments must be received by the MTB by 6/28/79.
