SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: During the meeting, OHMS will solicit
comments related to new research topics that may be considered for
inclusion in its future work. OHMS is particularly interested in the
research gaps associated with energetic materials (explosives)
characterization and transport, safe transportation of energy products
(e.g., crude oil), safe containment and transportation of compressed
gases, and safe packaging and transportation of charge storage devices
(e.g., lithium ion batteries), and how these might aid in mitigation of
climate change. The forum will also include an opportunity for
stakeholder input that identifies other research gaps related to the
transportation of hazardous materials.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 20, 2021, under authority
delegated in 49 CFR 1.97.
