FILE - In this June 24, 2013 file photo, Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., leaves the floor of the Senate on Capitol Hill in Washington. On Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2014, Hoeven said the Department of Transportation needs to speed up its timeline for finalizing new rules on the construction of rail tanker cars. His comments came after an item published in the federal register indicated that new rules for tankers might not be finalized until sometime after January 2015. The fiery derailment of a train Dec. 30, 2013, near Casselton, N.D., prompted new questions about the safety of oil transportation. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, File)
