Coming from the U.S. Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Friday, the new rule reverses a previous one that was put in place under former President Donald Trump.

"PHMSA, in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration, is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations to suspend authorization of liquefied natural gas (LNG) transportation in rail tank cars pursuant to a final rule published on July 24, 2020, pending the earlier of either completion of a companion rulemaking evaluating potential modifications to requirements governing rail tank car transportation of LNG, or June 30, 2025," PHMSA wrote.
