PHMSA Proposes Adjustments to Registration and Fee Assessment Program
Wednesday, February 10th
PHMSA has proposed adjustments to the statutorily-mandated registration and fee assessment program for persons who transport or offer for transportation certain categories and quantities of hazardous materials. PHMSA's proposal would provide that, for registration years beginning in 2010-2011, the annual fee to be paid by those registrants not qualifying as a small business or not-for-profit organization would increase from $975 (plus a $25 administrative fee) to $2,975 (plus a $25 administrative fee). The proposed fee increase is necessary to fund the national Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness (HMEP) grants program at its authorized level of approximately $28,000,000. Comments are due March 4, 2010. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-2174.htm
