Hazardous Materials: Modernizing Payments To and From America's Bank Account

What it does

This final rule modernizes the payment system for hazardous materials transportation registration fees by eliminating the option to pay by paper check and requiring electronic payment through the U.S. Department of Transportation (Department or DOT) e-Commerce internet site. This action improves processing efficiency, reduces administrative burden, and aligns payment procedures with current Government-wide electronic commerce practices.
