Evaluation of Nondestructive Examination for Re-qualification Of Composite Gas This R&D has been performed to evaluate several NDE methods based on their potential ability to detect common flaws such as impact damage in composite gas cylinders. Each NDE method will further be evaluated by actual testing on damaged composite cylinders to confirm accuracy and repeatability.

The R&D has been completed by the Nondestructive Testing Information Center under the direction of the Office of Hazardous Materials Technology.

Biennial Reports
Biennial ReportsDOT administers a comprehensive national hazardous materials transportation safety program. The Biennial Report, prepared as required by the Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law), describes the program, its accomplishments projections for future years, violations, penalties assessed, and its safety record.

You can view and download each report's Appendix C "Penalty Actions" separately. Appendix C provides a summary of each penalty action taken by DOT for violations of the Hazardous Materials Regulations.

Department Wide Program Evaluation of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Programs

 

In March, 2000 a ONE-DOT team from the Office of Inspector General, United States Coast Guard, Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal Railroad Administration, and Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration completed a DOT-wide Program Evaluation of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Programs (HMPE). The program evaluation had two broad objectives. Objective I was to document current hazardous materials movements, Operating Administrations' programs, and program delivery. Objective II was to assess the effectiveness of DOT's overall hazardous materials program as it affects each step in the hazardous materials transportation process, from packaging to receiver, recommend improvements, and identify areas for further analysis and action. The team found that DOT's hazardous materials program works reasonably well, but needs to be improved through DOT-wide strategic planning and program coordination, more focused delivery, and better data. HMPE Executive Summary (297K)

Development of the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances for the 2000 Emergency Response GuidebookThis report from the Argonne National Laboratory provides technical documentation for values in the Table of Initial Isolation and Protective Action Distances (PADs) in the 2000 Emergency Response Guidebook (2000ERG). The objective for choosing the PADs specified in the 2000ERG was to balance the need to adequately protect the public from exposure to potentially harmful substances against the risks and expenses that could result from overracting to a spill.
