The Trump Administration is at it again! Join us to learn about the attempt by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) to strip away the ban on Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) transport by rail car, exposing all of us to unacceptable public safety hazards.
LNG is dangerous and polluting, very difficult to safely handle due to its volatility, flammability, and explosive potential. To put LNG on rail cars and move it through our communities is reckless and flirting with disaster.
Learn about what can go wrong when hazardous material is released into a community and what is proposed in the 2025 federal Rail Safety Act from guest speaker Chemical Safety Advocate Jess Conard of East Palestine, Ohio. And hear how you can weigh in NOW with PHMSA to oppose the lifting of the ban on LNG by Rail and what PHMSA is considering.
What is PHMSA considering? The Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) has published an Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) that includes a reconsideration of allowing the transportation of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by rail tank car. The Trump Administration overturned the longstanding ban on LNG by Rail (the “Trump LNG by Rail Rule”) during its first administration but the Trump LNG by Rail Rule was suspended under the Biden Administration and ultimately defeated by a court challenge to protect public safety and the environment.
Trump’s PHMSA is now resurrecting the allowance of railcar transport of LNG throughout the nation by seeking “stakeholder” input. This Advanced Notice would be followed by a proposed rulemaking if there is stakeholder response supporting the lifting of the LNG by Rail ban. The ban could then be overturned by a new rule.
