Transportation policies

Simpson, B. Report on the amended proposal for a European Parliament and Council regulation amending Council Regulation (EEC) No 3922/91 on the harmonisation of technical requirements and administrative procedures in the field of civil aviation (COM(2002) 30-C5-0047/2002-2000/0069(COD)).

Supplier sensing. Active sensing of the health of the supplier relationship and setting up programs that improve supplier health. This includes financial terms, order policies, transportation and freight requirements, and adherence to CSR programs.

There are many regulations governing the transportation of chemicals, and any evaluation of transportation risks and options must include consideration of those regulations. In addition, some companies have policies that require going beyond legal requirements for specific materials. 

It is a tedious, difficult debate to compare the advantages of one freight mode over another. Each mode has its distinct advantages. The important thing for most nations is to try to make each mode as efficient as possible. If each transportation mode can become equally efficient, and if government policy does not distort the market, the market will fairly dictate the...

Because eveiy means of transportation requires energy for propulsion, how energy is used in transportation is something that is carefully tracked by the Office of Transportation Policy Development within the Department of Transportation (DOT). The transportation sector felt the greatest impact from the oil supply disruptions in the 1970s because it was, and continues to be, the sector most dependent on oil. It is also the sector with the least flexibility to switch fuels, (see also Consumption)...

Deposit control is important because porous deposits, under the influence of heat flux, can induce the development of high concentrations of boiler water solutes far above their normally beneficial bulk values with correspondingly increased corrosion rates. This becomes an increasingly important feature with increase in boiler saturation temperature. In addition, deposits can cause overheating owing to loss of heat transfer. Finally, carryover of boiler water solutes, which can be either mechanical or chemical, can lead to consequential corrosion in the circuit, either on-load or off-load. Material so transported can result in corrosion reactions far from its point of origin, with costly penalties. It is therefore preferably dealt with by a policy of prevention rather than cure. 

All toxic materials were disposed of in accordance with the policy of UTMDACC to handle and dispose of hazardous waste, which is in accordance with the regulations of the Environmental Protection Agency, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Federal Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Health, and the Texas Water Commission. 

Once hazardous wastes are transported from a CERCLA site, they are subject to full RCRA regulation. Therefore, all transportation and TSD requirements under RCRA must be followed. This means that off-site shipments must be accompanied by a manifest. In particular, the off-site disposal of hazardous wastes can occur only at an RCRA facility in a unit in full compliance with the requirements. U.S. EPA policy requires that the disposal facility be inspected six months prior to receiving the waste. 

A lot of our research has been focused on why people react as they do to the prospect of nuclear waste transport and storage. In a nutshell, when faced with a controversial problem like nuclear waste, Americans want to hear good and robust reasons for a policy. They want to see that the solution offered is a long term one. And they want to be able to identify tangible national benefits from the policy. We believe that an ideal nuclear future could have sufficient tangible national benefits for the American public to react positively.

The objective of this research was therefore to develop a master plan for the safe management of end-of-life mercury containing lamps for the entire country. It encompasses detailed analysis of the complete system of logistics (collection, transportation, and safe disposal of end-of-life CFLs/FTLs), financing models, institutional mechanisms, policy framework, and issue of public awareness.
