We appreciate and share NASFM’s 

concern for public safety and effective 

emergency response. We agree the 

comment period on this issue should be 

extended to permit interested persons to 

provide more data and information on 

the definitional issue raised by NASFM 

in its October 19, 2007 letter. 

II. Request for Comments 

Issuance of this notice does not 

constitute a decision by PHMSA to 

undertake a rulemaking action on the 

substance of the petition. This notice is 

issued solely to obtain comments on the 

merits of the petition to assist PHMSA 

in making a decision of whether to 

proceed with a rulemaking. Comments 

are requested in regard to the safety 

implications of the proposals contained 

in the NASFM’s petition. We are 

particularly interested in data and 

information related to regulation of 

polyurethane foam by other agencies, 

such as the Consumer Product Safety 

Commission, the Occupational Safety 

and Health Administration, the U.S. 

Coast Guard, and the National Fire 

Protection Association, and whether the 

standards used by these agencies could 

be adapted for use in the transportation 

environment. We invite interested 

persons to supplement comments they 

may have already submitted to address 

the issues raised in NASFM’s October 

19, 2007 letter, to highlight other issues 

that we should consider in making a 

decision on the petition, or to provide 

additional data and information in 

support of previously stated positions.
