The US will not raise fees for companies that transport hazardous materials

The US Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has withdrawn a proposal to increase registration fees for companies that transport hazardous materials. This means these companies will continue to pay the same fees they have been paying.

The US government will not collect more money from companies that move dangerous goods. This decision means the agency will not have additional funds to oversee the transport of hazardous materials. It also means companies avoid a new cost that would have been passed on to customers.
