AGENCY: Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of public meeting.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The FHWA is announcing a Cargo Tank Roundtable meeting to
discuss safety issues relative to the highway transportation of
hazardous materials in cargo tank motor vehicles. The intended audience
of this meeting includes members of the cargo tank community, drivers,
affected government agency representatives, and other interested
parties. The agenda for the meeting includes reports from industry/
government groups currently working on previously identified safety
issues, breakout sessions to address the progress and direction of
these safety issues, and further discussions of other cargo tank safety
related concerns.
The purpose of the meeting is to develop partnerships with
government, industry, and other persons in an attempt to gather
information and comments on cargo tank safety and the prevention of
accidents in these types of vehicles on our highways. Although the
meeting will be open to the public, space will be extremely limited;
therefore, the FHWA requests that persons interested in attending the
meeting preregister by contacting the persons listed below at least one
week in advance of the meeting. The agenda is an aggressive one and
discussions will be limited due to time constraints; however, comments
relative to this topic may be directed to the contact persons at the
