For most types of rulemaking, PHMSA provides notice of a proposed regulation. These documents propose changes to the safety regulations for the purpose of obtaining public comment. Below is a list of notices of proposed rules, advanced notice of proposed rules, and corrections.

About Notices of Proposed Rulemaking
  1. Each notice of proposed rulemaking is published in the Federal Register, unless all persons subject to it are named and are personally served with a copy of it.
  2. Each notice, whether published in the Federal Register or personally served, includes:
    1. A statement of the time, place, and nature of the proposed rulemaking proceeding;
    2. A reference to the authority under which it is issued;
