Transportation Department publishes 24 notices in week ending Dec. 10

There were 24 notices published by the Transportation Department in week ending Dec. 10, according to the Federal Register.

The most recent notice, Hazardous Materials: Notice of Actions on Special Permits, was submitted on December 9, 2022.

The Transportation Department published 32 the week before, marking a 25 percent decrease.

The Department handles nearly all infrastructure crisscrossing the country. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department should be privatized to save money, reduce congestion and spur innovation.

Notices are required documents detailing rules and regulations being proposed by each federal department. This allows the public to see what issues legislators and federal departments are focusing on.

Any person or organization can comment on the proposed rules. Departments and agencies must then address “significant issues raised in comments and discuss any changes made,” the Federal Register says.
