The ERG is for use by emergency services personnel to provide guidance for initial response to hazardous materials incidents. The development of the ERG2016 is a joint effort involving the transportation agencies of the United States, Canada, and Mexico. An email address has been established for interested persons to submit their input: “ERGComments@dot.gov”. Please submit your comments to “ERGComments@dot.gov” as an open-ended method to relate your experiences using the ERG and on ways the ERG could be modified or improved.
