49 CFR Ch. I (10–1–23 Edition)
§ 172.822
(3) A rail carrier need not perform a
rail transportation route analysis, al-
ternative route analysis, or route se-
lection process for any hazardous ma-
terial other than the materials speci-
fied in paragraph (a) of this section.
(g)
Rail carrier point of contact on rout-
ing issues.
Each rail carrier must iden-
tify a point of contact (including the
name, title, phone number and e-mail
address) on routing issues involving
the movement of materials covered by
this section in its security plan and
provide this information to:
(1) State and/or regional Fusion Cen-
ters that have been established to co-
ordinate with state, local and tribal of-
ficials on security issues and which are
located within the area encompassed
by the rail carrier’s rail system; and
(2) State, local, and tribal officials in
jurisdictions that may be affected by a
rail carrier’s routing decisions and who
directly contact the railroad to discuss
routing decisions.
(h)
Storage, delays in transit, and noti-
fication.
With respect to the materials
specified in paragraph (a) of this sec-
tion, each rail carrier must ensure the
safety and security plan it develops
and implements under this subpart in-
cludes all of the following:
(1) A procedure under which the rail
carrier must consult with offerors and
consignees in order to develop meas-
ures for minimizing, to the extent
practicable, the duration of any stor-
age of the material incidental to move-
ment (see § 171.8 of this subchapter).
(2) Measures to prevent unauthorized
access to the materials during storage
or delays in transit.
(3) Measures to mitigate risk to pop-
ulation centers associated with in-
transit storage.
(4) Measures to be taken in the event
of an escalating threat level for mate-
rials stored in transit.
(5) Procedures for notifying the con-
signee in the event of a significant
delay during transportation; such noti-
fication must be completed within 48
hours after the carrier has identified
the delay and must include a revised
delivery schedule. A significant delay
is one that compromises the safety or
security of the hazardous material or
delays the shipment beyond its normal
expected or planned shipping time. No-
tification should be made by a method
acceptable to both the rail carrier and
consignee.
(i)
Recordkeeping.
(1) Each rail carrier
must maintain a copy of the informa-
tion specified in paragraphs (b), (c), (d),
(e), and (f) of this section (or an elec-
tronic image thereof) that is accessible
at, or through, its principal place of
business and must make the record
available upon request, at a reasonable
time and location, to an authorized of-
ficial of the Department of Transpor-
tation or the Department of Homeland
Security. Records must be retained for
a minimum of two years.
(2) Each rail carrier must restrict the
distribution, disclosure, and avail-
ability of information collected or de-
veloped in accordance with paragraphs
(c), (d), (e), and (f) of this section to
covered persons with a need-to-know,
as described in parts 15 and 1520 of this
title.
(j)
Compliance and enforcement.
If the
carrier’s route selection documenta-
tion and underlying analyses are found
to be deficient, the carrier may be re-
quired to revise the analyses or make
changes in route selection. If DOT finds
that a chosen route is not the safest
and most secure practicable route
available, the FRA Associate Adminis-
trator for Safety, in consultation with
TSA, may require the use of an alter-
native route. Prior to making such a
determination, FRA and TSA will con-
sult with the Surface Transportation
Board (STB) regarding whether the
contemplated alternative route(s)
would be economically practicable.

§ 172.822
Limitation on actions by
states, local governments, and In-
dian tribes.
A law, order, or other directive of a
state, political subdivision of a state,
or an Indian tribe that designates, lim-
its, or prohibits the use of a rail line
(other than a rail line owned by a
state, political subdivision of a state,
or an Indian tribe) for the transpor-
tation of hazardous materials, includ-
ing, but not limited to, the materials

The following are Munsell notations and
Commission Internationale de L’Eclairage
(CIE) coordinates which describe the Office
of Hazardous Materials Transportation Label
and Placard Color Tolerance Charts in tables
1 and 2, and the CIE coordinates for the color
tolerances specified in table 3. Central colors
and tolerances described in table 2 approxi-
mate those described in table 1 while allow-
ing for differences in production methods
and materials used to manufacture labels
and placards surfaced with printing inks.
Primarily, the color charts based on table 1
are for label or placard colors applied as
opaque coatings such as paint, enamel or
plastic, whereas color charts based on table
2 are intended for use with labels and plac-
ards surfaced only with inks.
For labels printed directly on packaging
surfaces, table 3 may be used, although com-
pliance with either table 1 or table 2 is suffi-
cient. However, if visual reference indicates
that the colors of labels printed directly on
package surfaces are outside the table 1 or 2
tolerances, a spectrophotometer or other in-
strumentation may be required to insure
compliance with table 3.
