This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.
The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.
The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.
FederalRegister.gov retrieves relevant information about this document from Regulations.gov to provide users with additional context. This information is not part of the official Federal Register document.

OHMS's goal is to share information about PHMSA as a safety agency, its grant program, the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG), and equip small businesses with tools for success. We will also give attendees an opportunity to learn from experts about the requirements for the safe transportation of hazardous materials and hear from the agency's top leaders and subject matter experts. Additionally, the seminar will further provide an open platform for the exchange of ideas and efforts toward the safe transportation of hazardous materials. Lastly, the seminar is an opportunity to discuss with stakeholders any potential hazardous materials safety concerns that OHMS should consider in developing future training opportunities or other safety initiatives.
