Ban unmodified pre CPC-1232 tank cars from rails as of May 1, 2017 Remove all AAR tank cars from service as of May 24, 2014 New Cars ordered after January 2014 for use in Canada must meet CPC 1232. (Canada Gazette 7/2/2014) Propose New TC-140 Tank Car – Comments due by August 17, 2014

October 15, 2011 - CPC-1232 adopted voluntarily by most in industry April 17, 2012 – 27,000 SCFM Pressure Relief Valve included in CPC- 1232 April 18, 2014 - PHMSA/DOT submitted proposal to Office of Management & Budget (OMB). July 25, 2014 – PHMSA publishes HM251 Notice of Proposed Rulemaking: Enhanced Tank Car Standards and Operational Controls for High-Hazard Flammable Trains (HHFT) September 25, 2014 – End of PHMSA comment period. Lots of diverse views ▪ RFA (ethanol shippers) want total exemption ▪ Municipalities do not want HHFT trains going through them Final Rule most likely late 2014 or early 2015.

October 1, 2015 – All new tank cars built after this date for use in HHFT meet new criteria October 1, 2017 – Unmodified DOT 111 cars not authorized for Packing Group 1 in HHFT October 1, 2018 – Unmodified DOT 111 cars not authorized for Packing Group 2 in HHFT October 1, 2020 – Unmodified DOT 111 cars not authorized for Packing Group 3 in HHFT High Hazard Flammable Train (HHFT)– train with more than 20 cars carrying flammable commodity
13
Car Builder Capacity New Car Annual Builds – 40,000+ Estimate that 55% of new car builds will be for flammable service – 22,000+ Packing Group 1 Demand – 68,600 new cars over three years Replace Legacy Cars - 33% of fleet will be retired, repurposed – 18,600 Fill needs of shippers – 50,ooo
14
Retrofit 38,000 Legacy Cars over 38 months – 33% of DOT 111 cars will be scrapped or re-purposed (est.) Update 14,000+ CPC 1232 cars per year Suspect serious capacity deficit for retrofit – 1,000 – 1,400 cars a month Will be a big consideration in defining the timeline of retrofits. May have to give industry longer to comply.
15
Car Builders will adopt selected option as soon as possible after regulations are finalized – maybe sooner as they know the basics that are likely to be defined (See PHMSA Option 2). Car owners will: Immediately start planning for retrofitting, scrapping, re- purposing legacy DOT 111 cars Secure track space at repair shops very quickly Place new car orders in the next 6 months to replace legacy DOT 111 cars that will be scrapped or repurposed Retrofit CPC 1232 cars with new PRV’s where necessary

PHMSA acknowledges that hinged and bolted manways are a leading cause of leaks(Page 125 of PHMSA Document) PHMSA has left it up to the industry for now to adopt better technology by the time the new regulations are issued
