Chairman’s Column
• The Uniform Shipping Law Task Group will work to ensure transparent, equitable, and accountable shipping practices. The group will assess and refine the proposed Uniform Shipment Law by examining the regulation and determining what documentation and procedures shall be required for weights, remeasurements, and reclassifications. • Ongoing advocacy related to the 2022 NCWM -NIST National Survey on LP Gas Cylinders. The U.S. Department of Transportation tolerances became effective in December 2022 and are over 6 times the tolerances adopted by NCWM and enforced by the states since 1993. The NCWM petitioned the DOT in January 2023, recommending amending the December 2022 rule to align tolerances with those in NIST Handbook 130. We will continue to advocate for this change. These are some of the issues and initiatives that I will be supporting and working to move forward during my term as Chair. I will continue to keep members updated on our progress on these and other timely topics as the year progresses. It will be a privilege and honor to serve you and the organization over the next year. Please feel free to contact me with questions, ideas, or suggestions. I look forward to seeing many of you at the regional association meetings held around the country as well as at the January NCWM Interim Meeting in Charleston, South Carolina.
