PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to incorporate by reference and authorize the use of the 2015 edition of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section XII--Rules for Construction and Continued Service of Transport Tanks

Fetched verbatim passage. AI summary (separate from source): A PHMSA hazardous-materials final rule published during the lookback window addressed transport-tank standards, not the refrigerated-container placarding mandate, so it does not deliver the commitment.
