BCI federal legislative & regulatory update
Several updates on recent government actions that affect the battery industry are outlined. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is requesting public comments on how to regulate electric vehicles (EV) with respect to battery electrolyte spillage and electric shock hazard during crashes or rollovers, as well as during repair or maintenance. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) was mentioned in two actions: the monitoring rule regarding major sources of air pollution and the reccomendation of reasearch concerning hazardous air pollutants from small stationary sources. OSHA will develop a new standards planning process to ensure that the agency`s limited resources are used appropriately. This includes a list of fifty workplace hazards or issues that would warrant OSHA action.
