DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Railroad Administration 

Revised Guidance for Requesting OneTime Movement (OTM) Approvals 

AGENCY: Federal Railroad 

Administration (FRA), Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: FRA is notifying the public of 

the availability of revised guidance for 

requesting OTM approvals for the 

transportation by rail of nonconforming 

or leaking bulk hazardous material 

packages. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Karl 

Alexy, Acting Staff Director, Hazardous 

Materials Division, Office of Safety 

Assurance and Compliance, FRA, 1200 

New Jersey Avenue SE., Mailstop 25, 

Washington, DC 20590, telephone: (202) 

493–6245; or Lisa Matsinger, Railroad 

Safety Specialist, Hazardous Materials 

Division, Office of Safety Assurance and 

Compliance, FRA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590, 

telephone: (202) 493–0324. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) 

issued by the Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA) govern the rail transportation 

of hazardous materials. Title 49 CFR 

174.50 of the HMR forbids the 

transportation by rail of a bulk 

packaging that no longer conforms to 

HMR or that is leaking, unless otherwise 

approved by FRA’s Associate 

Administrator for Railroad Safety/Chief 

Safety Officer. These approvals are 

generally referred to as one-time 

movement approvals (OTMA). 

Recently, FRA revised its OTMA 

procedures to streamline the overall 

OTMA process and to minimize 

unnecessary administrative burdens. On 

January 31, 2012, FRA issued Guidance 

Document HMG–127, which explains 

these revised procedures and the criteria 

for issuance of OTMAs. Guidance 

Document HMG–127 is available for 

review on FRA’s Web site at: http:// 

www.fra.dot.gov/Pages/789.shtml. In 

addition, FRA has created a revised 

OTMA application information 

document that also reflects the revised 

OTMA procedures. The new OTMA 

application information document is 

also available on FRA’s Web site at: 

http://www.fra.dot.gov/rrs/pages/ 

fp_1799.shtml. FRA staff can provide 

copies of these documents for review 

upon request if contacted at the address 

and telephone numbers listed above.

flag vessels. If MARAD determines, in 

accordance with 46 U.S.C. 12121 and 

MARAD’s regulations at 46 CFR part 

388, that the issuance of the waiver will 

have an unduly adverse effect on a U.S.-

U.S.-flag vessels in that business, a 

waiver will not be granted. Comments 

should refer to the docket number of 

this notice and the vessel name in order 

for MARAD to properly consider the 

comments. Comments should also state 

the commenter’s interest in the waiver 

application, and address the waiver

regulations at 46 CFR part 388.
