For more information on this topic, please reference page 4-5 of the Appendix to Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards; Final Rule http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/chemsec_appendixafinalrule.pdf (PDF, 41 pages – 4.25 MB). Referenced Text: DHS adopts the EPA definition of transportation, and accordingly considers a container to be in transportation as long as it is attached to the motive power (e.g., truck or locomotive) that delivered it to the site. If the tank car is detached from the motive power, and therefore no longer in transportation, the facility must consider the contents of the tank car in calculating its STQ.
