  • Permittee bears all costs for U.S. government inspection facilities and staffing without guaranteed agency service levels (Article 7)
  • Environmental indemnification and mitigation obligations place significant liability on private permittee

  • Regulatory framework for 'intelligent freight transportation system' still to be determined by DOT (Article 8(4))
  • Transfer restrictions and Presidential discretion over amendments create investor uncertainty
