To ensure it can fund $28.3M annually in Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness grants for the next 2 fiscal years, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration plans to triple the registration cost for all hazmat transporters except small or non-for-profit businesses. They have been charged $975 (plus a $25 processing fee) since 2006 but will be paying $2,975 (plus the $25 fee) under the proposal PHMSA published Tuesday.

The increase will apply to registration years beginning in 2010-2011. About 2,100 transporters already have filed advance registrations for the 2010-2011 year and about 1,250 have filed for 2011-2012 at the lower fee. So if the agency increases the fee as planned, it must notify each registrant and collect the additional fees.
