Abstract
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and its contractors ship a significant amount of material each year, including hazardous materials and hazardous wastes. As a major shipper, DOE must ensure that its transportation operations are safe, efficient and in compliance with applicable regulations. Most hazardous material and hazardous waste shipments are fully regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency, Nuclear Regulatory Commission and Department of Transportation. Consequently, DOE is potentially affected by changes in any of the regulations of these agencies that govern its transportation activities.
