The Department of Transportation (DOT), acting through the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), contracted with the Transportation Research Board (TRB) to conduct a study of the railroad tank car design process and design criteria. TRB convened a study committee composed of experts in tank car design, chemical and mechanical engineering, hazardous materials safety, chemical shipping, railroad operations and labor issues, and transportation economics and regulatory policy. The principal charge to the committee was to examine the process that has evolved for establishing and implementing tank car design standards, including standards for tank car construction, maintenance, and repair. Industry, and especially the Association of American Railroads (AARs) Tank Car Committee (TCC), is critical to this process.
