摘要：	On January 14, 1997, the Ensuring Tank Car Safety Planning Committee met to discuss the outcome of the Ensuring Tank Car Safety Public Information Meeting held in Houston, Texas on February 14, 1996. The Committee also discussed the minutes of the 1996 North American Tank Car Research Coordination Meeting (RCM) held at the Association of American Railroad's Headquarters Building in Washington, D.C., on November 19, 1996. In recognition of the participants at both meetings who contributed their insight with respect to designing, operating, maintaining, and transporting tank cars, the Federal Railroad Administration thanks you. The final outcome of these meeting will be realized in the years ahead through both government and industry research, rulemaking, and industry standard setting activities and the mutual desire to achieve improved safety. To this end, the Planning Committee developed the following priority list of government and industry initiatives to ensure tank car safety (a summary of each initiative follows the main listing). It is important to note that the initiatives do not represent a hierarchy of safety needs, but merely a list of needs that industry and government should review when establishing long-term research, rulemaking, and industry standard setting activities:1. Non-Accident Release Reduction (NARs); 2. Responding to Transportation Emergencies (Operation Respond); 3. Tank Car Damage Assessment (Mechanical and Thermal Damage); 4. Tank Car Fire Protection (Thermal Modeling); 5. Tank Car Structural Integrity: 6. Performance-Oriented Standards; 7. Negotiated Rulemaking; 8. Railroad Operating Practices (Human Factors); 9. Public Workshops, Information Meetings, and Lessons Learned; 10. 286,000 Gross Weight on Rail; and 11. Safety of Intermodal Portable Tanks Transported by Rail.
