Action
Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing to amend its hazardous materials (hazmat) training requirements for certain air carriers and commercial operators. In addition, the FAA is proposing that certain repair stations document for the FAA that persons handling hazmat for transportation have been trained as required by the Department of Transportation's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). The FAA is updating its regulations because hazmat transport and the aviation industry have changed significantly since the FAA promulgated its hazmat training regulations over 25 years ago. The proposed rule would set clear training standards and ensure uniform compliance with training requirements.
