So, what does all this mean and when are the important dates? Great questions.

On July 24, 2020, the Department of Transportation (DOT) Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) in accordance with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) announced the Final Rule to allow for the bulk transportation of “Methane, refrigerated liquid” often referred to as liquefied natural gas (LNG), in rail tank cars.
