1999 Proposed Federal Hazmat Transportation Law
On February 16, 1999, the Secretary of Transportation sent to Congress proposed legislation to reauthorize the Department
of Transportation’s hazardous materials transportation safety program. That proposed bill would enhance the Department’s
enforcement authority, expand the uses of hazardous materials registration fees, and generally improve the effectiveness
of this program. The proposed bill contains suggested changes to the Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49
U.S.C. 5101-5127. Following are copies of the proposed bill and section-by-section analysis of it, a red-line/strike-out
version comparing it to existing law, and a table comparing it to the existing law and the Administration’s 1997 reauthorization
proposal.
