Transport Canada Correction & Clarification

Hot off the press:
Expected ERAP Rail Tanker Correction

As expected, the Dec. 31/14 TDG amendment was corrected in today’s Canada Gazette II to specify that rail ERAP requirements apply to rail tank cars only.*

You can read the correction here:

No signature- clarification

Also the FAQ section of the TDG website has been revised to clarify that July’s addition of Consignor’s Certification (TDGR 3.6.1, mandatory July 1, 2015) does not require an actual signature (see answer to the second question under “Documentation…). **

*We still expect an amendment to clarify the intent regarding inapplicability to road transport-see author’s Blog of January 13th:

** Ironically what took the Author a few hundred words or so to “unofficially interpret” in a Blog last October, was accomplished by Transport Canada in the phrase “…(not signature)…” in the FAQ!
