Biden administration changes Trump-era rule, will ban liquefied natural gas on trains
Sept. 1 (UPI) -- U.S. President Joe Biden has reversed a Trump-era amendment to hazardous materials regulations that allowed liquified natural gas to be transported by rail.
"PHSMA, in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration, is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulation, to suspend authorization of liquefied natural gas transportation in rail tank cars," the Department of Transportation said in a press release Friday.
Though there has been no transportation of LNG via rail since July 24, 2020, the Transportation Department says the updated regulations are being put in place to prevent any transport occurring while the safety parameters are evaluated.
