UMnyango Wezokuthutha Wokulawulwa Kwepayipi Nokuphepha Kwezinto Eziyingozi (i-PHMSA) yoMnyango Wezokuthutha wase-US namuhla umemezele ukuthi ucela abaqokelwe ukungenela iKomidi Lokweluleka Ngezokuphepha Kwebhethri elisha le-Lithium, ngokuvumelana neSigaba 333(d) se-FAA Reauthorization Act ka-2018.
“UMnyango ufuna ochwepheshe abavela emikhakheni eyahlukene yezobuchwepheshe nezokuthutha ukuze bahlole ukuthuthukiswa kokuphepha ekuthuthweni kwamabhethri e-lithium,” kusho uNobhala Wezokuthutha wase-United States u-Elaine L. Chao.
IKomidi lizohlinzeka uMnyango ngenkundla yokucela imibono yababambiqhaza ukuze uqhubeke uqinisa ukuphepha kokuthuthwa kwebhethri ye-lithium ehlukahlukene. I-PHMSA ifuna ukuqokwa kuzo zonke izimboni zezokuthutha nezokukhiqiza ukuze babambe iqhaza.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, iKomidi lizokweluleka uMnyango mayelana nokuthuthukisa izikhundla zenqubomgomo ezithangamini zamazwe ngamazwe kanye nendlela yokwandisa ukuqwashisa ngokubaluleka kwezidingo zokuphepha kwebhethri ye-lithium. IKomidi lizohambisa abakutholile kubo bobabili uNobhala kanye noKhongolose.
LOKHO ONGAKUTHATHE KULESI SIHLOKO:
- Further, the Committee will advise the Department on developing policy positions for international forums and on how to increase awareness of the importance of lithium battery safety requirements.
- The Committee will provide a forum for the Department to solicit stakeholder input to continually strengthen the safety of multimodal lithium battery transportation.
- Department of Transportation's Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) today announced that it is soliciting nominees for a new Lithium Battery Safety Advisory Committee, in accordance with Section 333(d) of the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018.
