Abstract:The Federal hazmat law requires the United States (U.S.) Department of Transportation (DOT) to protect the public from the risks to life, property, and the environment inherent in
commercial transportation of hazardous materials. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has the dual responsibility for regulating and enforcing hazmat law. The PHMSA Administrator, through the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety (HMS), coordinates the Department’s hazardous materials transportation safety program. Enforcement authority has also been delegated to three DOT operating administrations – the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) along with the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
