There have been many times when these interpretations have provided me with enough guidance to make an informed decision across various topics when shipping dangerous goods. In regards to the actual dangerous goods regulations, there are always changes on the horizon, and this now includes the interpretation section on the PHMSA website. PHMSA is now conducting an initiative to convert historical letters of interpretation related to the 49CFR that have been issued into a broadly applicable frequently asked questions (FAQs) section on its website.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">What are Letters of Interpretation and What does This Mean?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">PHMSA interpretations are written explanations of the 49CFR hazardous materials regulations from various members of the PHMSA. The interpretations come in the form of letters that originate from various dangerous goods professionals asking specific questions about the regulations and the questions in the letters are answered by members of PHMSA. They are to be used only as a form of guidance when following the regulations.\u202f <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecompliancecenter.com\/ca\/when-the-regulation-needs-clarification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This previous blog I wrote<\/a><\/span><\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">provides more specifics and examples.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As mentioned, PHMSA seeks to make some changes to its letter of Interpretation section on their website. Ultimately, PHMSA\u2019s goal is to create a repository of frequently asked questions that derive from common letters of interpretations and hopes to eliminate the need for recurring requests of interpretations that involve repeated topics. In addition, PHMSA is asking the public for comments on this initiative to help move it forward.
