Abstract
Through its operating administrations, the U.S. Department of Transportation issues regulations covering the safety, security, health, and environmental protection of all modes of transportation. Many of these regulations incorporate consensus standards as required under the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995, which directs federal agencies to generally use standards developed by voluntary consensus bodies. Particular examples of the role of consensus standards in DOT regulations are discussed in this presentation.
