WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 -- Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has issued a rule called: Hazardous Materials: Remove Redundant List of U.S. EPA CERCLA Hazardous Substances.

The rule was published in the Federal Register on Aug. 4 by Paul J. Roberti, Administrator, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

Summary: To improve efficiency and eliminate redundancy, this final rule streamlines the Hazardous Materials Regulations by modifying how hazardous substances are listed. Instead of maintaining a duplicative list, the regulations will now rely on the authoritative, comprehensive list already maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
