On September 02, 2014 (79 FR 52016), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) published a notice in the federal register advising interested persons that the PHMSA is accepting input on ways to improve the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) as it develops the 2016 version (ERG2016), particularly from those who have experience using the ERG.
The ERG is for use by emergency services personnel to provide guidance for initial response to hazardous materials incidents. The development of the ERG2016 is a joint effort involving the transportation agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. An email address has been established for interested persons to submit their input: “[email protected]”.
Please submit your comments to “[email protected]” as an open-ended method to relate your experiences using the ERG and on ways the ERG could be modified or improved.
