IHMM Organizing Broader Government Affairs Activities – Call for Volunteers

In strategic planning on August 17, 2023 IHMM created a strategic imperative to create a broader government affairs operation on behalf of, and with the assistance of, all of IHMM’s certificants.

On August 29, 2023 IHMM’s Executive Director made a presentation of this strategic imperative to the AHMP annual conference. Here is what IHMM intends to organize over the next few months:

  • Federal Government  – Regulatory. We need a group of people watching Federal regulatory developments to advise when taking action can be helpful and raise our visibility in the agencies.
  • Federal Government – Congress. We need a group of people watching legislation to advise us when taking action can be helpful and raise our visibility in Congress.
  • State Governments  – Regulatory. We need a group of people watching state regulatory developments to advise when taking action can be helpful and raise our visibility in the agencies.
  • State Governments – Legislatures. We need a group of people watching legislation to advise us when taking action can be helpful and raise our visibility in state legislatures.
If you want to make a difference in the recognition of your credentials and build on the successful record we have achieved thus far – we need you to volunteer. Please see > https://ihmm.org/join-the-government-affairs-committee/  and get involved with government affairs. You can volunteer for one, two, three or all four of the segments of the committee’s work. That’s up to you!
The full presentation may be viewed here.

IHMM GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS

Beltway Buzz – Ogletree Deakins

Hot Mess in the House. It has been two weeks since the U.S. Congress struck a last-minute deal to fund the federal government. Since that time, Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives have removed Representative Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) from his position as Speaker of the House and spent this week fighting with each other over who should now take the reins. This finger-pointing and infighting distracts from substantive policy work, as important issues—such as funding the federal government long term and addressing geopolitical conflicts—get moved to the back burner.

DOL: No Extra Time for Overtime. The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Wage and Hour Division (WHD) announced that it would not extend the comment period deadline for stakeholders to respond to its proposed changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act’s (FLSA) overtime provisions. In a letter entered into the regulatory comment docket, Jessica Looman, the WHD’s principal deputy administrator, announced that “the original 60-day comment period is a reasonable and adequate amount of time to provide notice and an opportunity for the public to comment on the proposed rule.” Looman also noted that this sixty-day comment period was the same for the 2019 and 2015 overtime revisions and that “stakeholders are generally familiar with the issues addressed in the [notice of proposed rulemaking].” Comments are due by November 7, 2023.

OSHA Grants Walkaround Extension. It’s not all bad news for employers on the regulatory proposal extension request front. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) announced that it would extend the comment period for its walkaround regulatory proposal from October 30, 2023, to November 13, 2023.

OSHA’s proposal continues to draw significant criticism from Republican lawmakers. As the Buzz recently examined, House Republicans expressed skepticism regarding the proposal during a hearing on September 27, 2023. Well, Republicans in the U.S. Senate are also unhappy with OSHA’s proposal. Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), ranking member of the Senate Committee on Health Education, Labor and Pensions, sent Acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su a letter criticizing the effort. Senator Cassidy wrote that the proposed changes “would pose no limit on whom employees might select as their representative, including a union organizer.” In turn, the letter continues, “[a]llowing the union official to participate in an inspection suggests to workers that the union has government support, eliminating the neutrality government inspectors are supposed to have.”

OFCCP Designates Additional “Megaprojects.” The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has designated twelve new federally funded construction projects as “Megaprojects.” The DOL launched the Mega Construction Project Program in March 2023 and the program covers “large federal construction projects valued at $35 million or more—some part of which must be federal funding—and that last more than one year.” Pursuant to the Mega Construction Contract Program, OFCCP pursues an “intensive, ‘front-end’ approach … for achieving greater contractor compliance with equal opportunity requirements and for increasing the representation of qualified workers from underrepresented groups in the construction trades.” With this latest announcement, OFCCP has categorized twenty-four total construction projects as Megaprojects. Christopher J. Near and Morgan Pike Epperson have the details on the latest news.

PWFA Regs Move One Step Closer. October 10, 2023, was the deadline for stakeholders to submit comments in response to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) proposed regulations implementing the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA). The proposed regulations were issued on August 11, 2023. Pursuant to the statute, the Commission must finalize regulations by December 29, 2023.

High Court’s Grant Of ‘Takings’ Case Ratchets Up Focus On Regulatory Limits

The Supreme Court’s announcement this week that it will hear a case seeking to expand limits on “regulatory takings” through permit conditions has broadened what was already shaping up to be a pivotal term for the future of rulemaking authority at all levels of government, court watchers say.

Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, which the justices took up in their Oct. 10 orders, tests whether state and local laws that attach monetary fees and other conditions to permit approvals must show an “essential nexus” and “rough proportionality” to the impacts a community is likely to face from granting the permit — for instance, the cost of connecting a new house to the public water system.

High court precedent already requires that analysis for regulators’ decisions on individual permits as part of the Constitution’s requirement that any “taking” of personal property come only through due process of law, but that standard — known as “Nollan Dolan” after two cases that expressed it — does not yet apply to laws that set fees on entire categories of land-use permits or similar actions.

Several attorneys have already written that if the justices side with petitioner George Sheetz — who is contesting a $23,420 “exaction” the county government of El Dorado, CA, required him to pay as a condition of approving a permit to build a single-family home on land he owns — it would further cement their efforts to rein-in limits on land use and regulatory power more broadly.

Minnesota and Missouri Prepare to Adopt Hazardous Waste Generator Improvement Rules in 2024

On November 28, 2016, the Federal Register (FR) recognized the EPA Administration for signing the final Hazardous Waste Generator Improvements Rule. This rule clarifies hazardous waste generator regulations which provides flexibility to waste generators regarding how waste is managed. To this day, the EPA continues to bridge important gaps to consistently improve the rules along with strengthening environmental protection amongst communities.

As more states decide to implement the Hazardous Waste Generator Improvement Rule, Clean Earth is committed to supporting waste generators by providing monthly updates on the rulemaking status.

Final Rule HM-264A: Suspension of LNG by Rail

On September 1, PHMSA published the final rule “HM-264A: Suspension of HMR Amendments Authorizing Transportation of Liquified Natural Gas by Rail,” which temporarily suspends the July 2020 rule allowing the transportation of liquified natural gas (LNG) by tank car. The suspension, in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), will ensure no rail tank car transports LNG before June 30, 2025 or when updated research on safety and the revised rulemaking are completed, whichever is earlier.

This suspension will minimize potential risks to public health, safety and the environment. Since 2021, when the proposed suspension was posted for public comment, it has received more than 10,000 public comments, showing widespread support. The suspension will give time for PHMSA, in conjunction with the National Academies of Sciences and Engineering as well as our Canadian regulator counterparts, to complete critical research on transporting cryogenic liquids like LNG (and hydrogen) by rail more safely. This research is expected to conclude in the next year or so and will inform future federal safety regulations from PHMSA and the FRA.

This final rule is effective October 31, 2023.

Notice of Public Meeting: Lithium Battery Air Safety Advisory Committee

The Lithium Battery Air Safety Advisory Committee will be meeting on November 2, 2023, from 9:00 AM to 5:30 PM EDT, at DOT Headquarters in Washington, DC (1200 New Jersey Avenue SE, West Building). The final agenda will be posted on the Lithium Battery Air Safety Advisory Committee website at least 15 days in advance of the meeting.

This meeting is open to the public, including a virtual option. Requests to attend the meeting, to speak during the meeting, or to submit written materials to be reviewed during the meeting must be sent by October 18, 2023, either via email ([email protected]) or to the contacts listed in the Federal Register notice below.

EXTENDED: HM-265A: Modernizing Regulations to Improve Safety and Efficiency

On July 5, 2023, PHMSA published the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPRM) “HM-265A: Modernizing Regulations to Improve Safety and Efficiency” to the Federal Register. Based on feedback from industry stakeholders, internal PHMSA review, NTSB safety recommendations, and modal safety partners, the ANPRM addresses 46 separate areas where the requirements of the HMR may need to be updated to increase efficiency while improving safety. Topics addressed in the ANPRM include those related to UN Performance Oriented Package testing, tank car safety, hazardous material employee training, and updates to standards incorporated by reference, among others.

The public comment period for this ANPRM has been extended, in response to a request from the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association. Comments are now due by December 4, 2023. For questions, please contact Mr. Eamonn Patrick at [email protected].

EXTENDED: HM-263: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information

In June, PHMSA published a new Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) aimed at improving public safety and preventing environmental impacts by strengthening requirements governing railroads’ provision of hazardous materials information to responders during a hazmat incident. This proposal is a response to mandates in the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act and a recommendation from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).

The proposal would require all railroads to always maintain — and update in real-time — accurate, electronic information about rail hazmat shipments in a train consist that would be accessible to authorized emergency response personnel. Required information would include the quantity and position of the shipment on the train, the shipment’s origin and destination, and a designated emergency point of contact at the railroad. Railroads would also be required to proactively “push” that information to authorized local first response personnel as soon as the railroad is aware of an accident involving any hazardous materials.

The public comment period for this NPRM has been extended, in response to a request from the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association. Comments are now due by October 27, 2023. For questions, contact Dirk Der Kinderen at (202) 366-8553.

OSHA – Extended Comment Period for Proposed Rule: Worker Walkaround Representative Designation Process

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has extended the comment period on its August 31, 2023 proposed rule regarding who can be authorized by employees to act as their representative to accompany compliance officers during physical workplace inspections.

Interested parties now have until November 13, 2023, to submit comments electronically at regulations.gov, which is the Federal eRulemaking portal. All submissions must include the agency’s name and docket number for this rulemaking (Docket No. OSHA-2023-0008). For more information, please see the Federal Register notice

EPA Sends Final CWA ‘Worst Case’ Chemical Spill Rule For OMB Review

EPA has sent for White House review its final version of a proposed Clean Water Act (CWA) rule that would require facilities that keep hazardous substances in above-ground tanks to plan for “worst case discharges” of those materials, putting it on track to meet a settlement deadline with environmentalists that requires final action by next year.

According to the White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) website, it received the final rule on Oct. 11. OMB’s review process is usually targeted for 90 days, but can take much more or less time depending on the policy at issue.

As proposed last year, the CWA rule would set first-time requirements for certain larger facilities near navigable waters to develop facility response plans (FRPs) for worst-case chemical spills and discharges — a step Congress directed EPA to take in the 1990 CWA amendments but which the agency delayed for decades, leading to two separate lawsuits by environmentalists.

It ultimately agreed to a settlement requiring it to first propose a rule by March 12, 2022, and then take final action on the proposal 30 months after publication in the Federal Register. EPA appears to be aiming to beat that target, which would fall in September 2024; its summary of the rule says it plans to release a final version in the spring.

DOD Warns Congress Of Mission-Critical Impacts If PFAS Is Restricted

The Defense Department (DOD) is telling Congress that PFAS is a vital component in many technologies and articles it relies on for national security, warning in a new report of the risks to the defense industrial base that emerging, “overly broad” PFAS regulations pose.

The report — which outlines the mission-critical uses of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in nearly all of DOD’s weapon systems, as well as in munitions, semiconductors and lithium-ion batteries and other products — could aid industry in making the case for allowing continued PFAS use in many applications even as EPA moves to limit manufacture of the chemicals under the Toxics Substances Control Act (TSCA) and other environmental laws.

DOD in the report warns of the unintended impacts of emerging, unpredictable environmental regulations for PFAS and cautions both Congress and EPA against “taking a broad, purely ‘structural’ approach to restricting or banning PFAS.”

“DoD is reliant on the critically important chemical and physical properties of PFAS to provide required performance for the technologies and consumable items and articles which enable military readiness and sustainment,” DOD says in its “Report on Critical Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substance Uses,” submitted to the House and Senate Armed Services committees. The report, dated August, was recently posted to DOD’s website.

“Losing access to PFAS due to overly broad regulations or severe market contractions would greatly impact national security and DoD’s ability to fulfill its mission, and impact domestic defense industrial base manufacturing and supply.”

EPA Will Hold Virtual Training On High Throughput Toxicokinetic Modeling In November 2023:

EPA will hold a two-day training on its high throughput toxicokinetic (HTTK) R package as part of its New Approach Methods (NAM) Training Program:

  • Day 1: Presentation and demo: Wednesday, November 8, 2023, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. (EST); and
  • Day 2: Expert-led hands-on learning activity: Thursday, November 9, 2023, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. (EST).

EPA’s goal for the two-day training is to familiarize those engaged in chemical exposure assessment, including researchers, regulators, and health and environmental safety professionals, with EPA’s generic and open-source models and data for toxicokinetic, including reverse dosimetry and physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) modeling for internal dose calculation.

EPA Proposes To Amend General Provisions For NESHAP:

On September 13, 2023, EPA proposed to amend the General Provisions for National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) to address applicability and compliance issues resulting from the addition of a compound to the list of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) under the Clean Air Act (CAA). 88 Fed. Reg. 62711. According to EPA, this action focuses on issues related to newly applicable standards for sources that become major sources solely from the addition of a compound to the CAA HAP list. This action also includes a discussion of the impacts of a newly listed HAP on the federal operating permit program. Comments are due November 13, 2023.

EPA Issues Phase II FOIA Final Rule:

EPA issued on September 14, 2023, its Phase II Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) final rule updating and modernizing EPA’s FOIA regulations. 88 Fed. Reg. 63020. According to EPA’s September 7, 2023, press release, the final rule “promote[s] transparency and accountability, make[s] FOIA more affordable, and expedite[s] access to information to communities potentially experiencing disproportionate and adverse human health or environmental effects.” The final rule establishes a new standard, in addition to the existing “compelling need” standard, for expediting EPA’s response to FOIA requests for records when there is a pressing need to inform a community that is potentially experiencing disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects. EPA will also waive fees for such FOIA requests. The final rule removes barriers by raising the threshold for when requesters will be charged fees, benefiting all requesters, as well as making other changes to bring EPA’s fee rates and other regulatory provisions into compliance with the FOIA statute, government wide policy, and relevant case law. Additionally, EPA updated the FOIA fee rates and will no longer charge any fees to a requester if the Agency accumulates less than $250 of chargeable fees. The final rule will be effective November 13, 2023.

Professional Certification Coalition

IHMM is a member of the PCC. The PCC monitors state and federal legislative and regulatory activity affecting professional certification on an ongoing basis. The PCC has compiled several “Watchlists” identifying and analyzing provisions in pending legislation at both the state and federal level that, under applicable rules, may still be enacted in the current legislative session.  Depending on the carry-over rules in the relevant legislature, the charts listing current legislation may include bills introduced in a prior year.  In addition, the PCC compiles each year a chart of enacted legislation that affects certification. The charts include hyperlinks to every bill or executive order. Note that the Watchlist and the Enacted Legislation document do not include profession-specific legislation and do not include regulatory initiatives. The charts will be updated as needed based on new developments.

IHMM Credential Recognition

The highest priority of IHMM’s Government Affairs Committee is the recognition of IHMM’s credentials by government. We have made substantial progress in the two years we have undertaken this endeavor, as outlined in detail here > https://ihmm.org/credential-recognition/

In this project we have 45-in-5, increasing the number of states that recognize IHMM credentials.

  • We have already succeeded in 13 states – New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Indiana, California, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Arkansas, Oklahoma. Ohio, North Dakota, and Georgia. [Red states in the map above]. These are states where IHMM credentials are cited or 40 CFR 312.10 is cited by reference.
  • We have partially succeeded in another 16 states – Alaska, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Florida, Delaware, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, and Maine. [Orange/Black Stripe states in the map above] These are states where the requirements of an “environmental professional” or QEP are cited that coincide with an IHMM credential so that relatively little work would need to be done to clarify the desired outcome.
  • We have 21 states where no reference to an IHMM credential is made in either statute or regulation, nor is there anything defined in the area of an environmental professional. These states will require legislation or regulatory work. [Yellow states in the map above].

in January 2022 Gene Guilford released the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation that states a private certification that meets or exceeds the requirements of the regulation is an Environmental Professional under the regulation. Here is the crosswalk between the 40 CFR § 312.10 EPA regulation and the Certified Hazardous Materials Manager [CHMM] blueprint. The CHMM meets or exceeds the requirements of an Environmental Professional. 

Here’s what we ask each volunteer to do:

  • Watch legislative and regulatory developments in your state that provide an opportunity for us to create amendments or other interventions
  • Be willing to speak with regulators and legislators in your area about the recognition efforts we craft together

The Dr. John H Frick Memorial IHMM Scholarship Program – Closed for 2023 –  Deadline 10/15/2023 – Re Opens in 2024

The Institute of Hazardous Materials Management is pleased to have created $32,000 in academic scholarships, divided equally between $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student CHMMs, and $16,000 for students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate education in approved schools and who are also Student ASHMs.

IHMM seeks to foster the growth and academic success of students whose courses of education, and participation in one of our Student certifications, will lead to those students becoming fully-certified IHMM credential holders later in their professional lives.

IHMM  – 26 Fellows Are Mentors 

IHMM Fellows Committee Chair Atanu Das, CHMM, is leading the effort within the IHMM Collaboration networking platform to engage both 26 IHMM Fellows as Mentors and anyone who seeks some assistance as Mentees.

Given the extraordinary experience Fellows have, this is a unique opportunity for IHMM Fellows to help guide more recent certificants in their professional development activities. This article from ASAE magazine outlines how a mentoring program can become more successful – engagement!

IHMM’s Collaboration platform contains a “Mentor Match” module [see below at right] that allows mentors to signup designating the hours, number of mentees, subject areas, and length of time they wish to mentor – as well as allowing mentees to signup requesting assistance in specified areas. The mentor match module does the rest by matching mentors and mentees.

#2 Recertification Video

IHMM Recertification Videos

IHMM is pleased to release two YouTube instructional videos about navigating the IHMM recertification process. These step-by-step videos easily enable IHMM certificants to start and complete a recertification application.

While the full recertification cycle is 5 years, IHMM encourages all certificants to start a recertification application and add certification maintenance points as they are earned to make the final submission quick and easy to accomplish.

Retiring? IHMM Invites You to Become an Emeritus

You may have decided, after a long and successful career, to retire from active daily duty. Congratulations. That doesn’t mean you have to completely disengage from your profession. IHMM is pleased to offer Emeritus status to all certificants who will no longer be actively engaged in their communities of practice but who still want to stay in touch. Please let us know when you’re approaching that decision and we will assist you in the credential transition.

Please contact Jimmy Nguyen at [email protected] and he’ll be happy to help you.

American Society of Safety Professionals

IHMM is a member of the American Society of Safety Professionals and is pleased to bring this important information to all of our certificants.

IHMM and HMS Tie Exam Preparation Together for Applicants

Every IHMM certification that requires an examination has a section of its website entitled Examination Preparation.

Connected to the Examination Preparation panel is a companion panel that is Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam.

You see the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel from the CHMM site at left.

When you click on the Find a Course to Prepare for the Exam panel it takes the applicant directly to the HMS site where all CHMM prep courses may be found and chosen.

For the 365 CHMM applicants IHMM had on June 27, 2023, all 365 looking for CHMM prep courses could see and choose their favored CHMM exam prep course. If your course is not on the HMS platform, none of the 365 CHMM applicants could find you.

If you want your CHMM prep course on the HMS platform so it can be found by IHMM CHMM applicants, contact Gene Guilford at [email protected]

HMS Makes Finding Courses to Earn CMPs Easy

Every year more than 1,600 IHMM certificants have to recertify their credentials, evidenced their continuing commitment to improvement and learning to elevate their professional credential.

Earning Certification Maintenance Points [CMPs] is illustrated under Recertification of Your Credential, that includes the Recertification Claims Manual – Appendix A, that details all of the ways a certificant may earn CMPs > https://ihmm.org/recertification-claims/

Having mastered that manual, how does an IHMM certificant find courses to earn CMPs?

HMS has made that simple and easy.

  1. Go to https://hazmatsociety.org/education-training/
  2. Scroll down until you see a row of buttons…click on the CMPs button

The system will then generate all of the courses on the HMS E&T platform with IHMM CMPs already attached.

The next developments by the HMS E&T committee will refine available courses’ CMPs by individual credential!

Donate to HMS

One of the most important projects of the Hazardous Materials Society is our Scholarship Program.

HMS wants to make it as easy as possible for those who cannot always afford to participate in pursuing certification, or keeping up with professional development, or attending great conferences and receiving outstanding training. HMS does not solicit contributions from the general public. HMS does ask IHMM’s certificants and their companies and our education and training vendors to consider a contribution.

Here, through your generosity, you can make a difference in promoting the ability of those who can afford it least to become participants in our communities of practice.

It’s never too late to make a difference, so don’t let this opportunity to make a difference pass you by. Please consider a tax-deductible donation of $250, $500 or what you can to help build HMS’s effort to help others in our communities of practice.

RCM&D Professional Liability Insurance

HMS is proud to have partnered with RCM&D to be able to offer an outstanding comprehensive professional liability insurance program to IHMM certificants. Here, you will find information about this important program offering Environmental Consultants and Engineers Professional Liability coverage. This coverage is intended to add protection for loss stemming from actual or alleged negligent acts, errors and omissions in performing professional services.
