  1. DGIS VIII Conference

    Louisville, Kentucky, August 22nd, 2013 Brigham A. McCown, Nouveau Inc.
  2. My Background
  3. Philosophy Behind Running a Regulatory Agency What does it take to run a regulatory agency? Vision? Understanding? Role? Resources? Risk?
  4. Federal Regulatory Agencies Exercising Jurisdiction Over Petroleum Transportation EPA INTERIOR OTHERS USDOT USCG DHS
  5. PHMSA Office of Hazardous Materials Safety PHMSA desires to reduce the risk of harm to people due to the transportation of hazardous materials by pipelines and other modes and to reduce the risk of harm to the environment due to the transportation of oil and hazardous materials by pipeline and other modes. PHMSA's mission is to protect people and the environment from the risks inherent in transportation of hazardous materials - by pipeline and other modes of transportation.
  6. Logical and Efficient Practices Taking over the Agency: First Changes and Observations Improving the agency: No-Nonsense Fact Based / Measured Enforcement
  7. Poor Practices Examples and observations of poor regulation, and illogical implementation
  8. Differences in Administrations PHSMA: Under Secretary Norman Mineta, and President George W. Bush PHMSA: Under Secretary Ray LaHood and President Barack Obama PHMSA: Under Secretary Anthony Foxx and President Barack Obama
  9. Efficient and Logical Regulation Change Efficient and logical regulation changes under my Administration Ex. Company’s logo was a diamond, conflict with HAZMAT symbols What was the end result?
  10. Grandfathering and Implementation: Examining the Logic and Reasons for Choosing Regulatory Implementation Dates
  11. Changing Regulations As trainers, the ever changing regulation implementation dates are difficult and, often, conflicting.
  12. Formal Processes for Regulation Change Formal process for implementing a change in regulation Grandfathering Comment period from industry sectors Final factors in a date decision.
  13. Differing Implementation Dates Why are some implementation dates quick vs. long?
  14. Corresponding Issues Conflicting rules Training is difficult Regulations are hard to enforce Smaller businesses can often have trouble understanding the new laws (ex. lithium battery shipments) Not in the best interest for safety
  15. International Regulation Confusion and disharmony between international regulators Different enforcement dates
  16. Potential Solutions Potential solutions for PHMSA for future regulatory implementation dates? Potential transition date set for all new regulations to be enforced, i.e. January 1st, rather than each new law to be enforced two years from the publication date.
