HM-215L - Changes to DOT Regulations

Every two years, PHMSA publishes a final rule in the "215" docket series.  In this case it's HM-215L.  As a training organization we have to stress that it's important to focus on the various dates associated with this type of docket.

In this case:

Voluntary compliance is authorized as of January 1, 2013
Delayed compliance is authorized until January 1, 2014

Our experience in training is that these dates can confuse a shipper, so caution is urged.  It does create a more complicated scheme for 2013.
