TSA Regulation
The new Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulation goes into effect April 1, 2009. This rule affects the positive and controlled hand-off of TIH/PIH chemicals, explosives and radioactive waste railcars between shippers and receivers in a High Threat Urban area (HTUA) as well as railroads interchanging in an HTUA. CSX has worked diligently to educate our crews and employees about the new regulation in order to be compliant before April 1.
Look under New Regulations on our Safety & Security page for a copy of the letter sent to CSX-served customers in December 2008, the final rule from TSA, a list of the TIH/PIH chemicals and the 2006 list of HTUA as well as the new 2009 list of HTUA with the addition of Nashville, Tenn; Richmond, Va.; Albany, Rochester and Syracuse, N,Y., in CSX territory.
