Similarly, the PHMSA has issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) to further align domestic hazmat shipping requirements with evolving international standards, and they’re looking for community input! And finally, we’re challenging the old saying: “that’s about as interesting as a cardboard box” with a deep dive into the surprisingly intriguing anatomy of UN Boxes and their basis weights.
