President Trump’s April 2019 executive order on the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail tank cars, which mandated a federal rule by 2020, has pushed forward a rule-making proposal, according to Kallanish Energy.
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has proposed LNG rail shipments be allowed in DOT-113 specification refrigerated tank cars. Working with the Federal Railroad Administration, PHMSA filed a 55-page notice of proposed rule-making last Friday.
