The 9/11 Commission created as a consequence of the terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington had two goals. The first goal was to study the incidents to determine the specific security failures; the second was to provide recommendations for preventing future incidents. In August 2007, President Bush signed U.S. Public Law 110-53 that implemented the 9/11 Commission recommendations. Section 1551 of the law requires every railroad carrier that transports security-sensitive materials in commerce to provide a written analysis of the safety and security risks for every calendar year. This paper discusses the background behind the current regulatory requirements, the nature of the security-sensitive materials involved, the rail industry and its role in the movement of security-sensitive materials, and the new U.S. federal regulatory requirements associated with the shipment of toxic by inhalation (TIH) materials. |
