On October 28, 2024, PHMSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) titled "Hazardous Materials: Advancing Safety of Highway, Rail, and Vessel Transportation (HM-265)," proposing amendments to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to adopt several modal-specific amendments that would enhance the safe transportation of hazardous materials in commerce by highway, rail, and vessel transportation. In response to a request for an extension of the comment period submitted by the Railway Supply Institute (RSI), PHMSA is extending the comment period for the HM-265 NPRM by an additional 90 days.
