ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: This notice proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain alignment with corresponding provisions of international standards. Because of recent changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions), and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations), these proposed revisions are necessary to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21, 1990, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) published a final rule [Docket HM-181; 55 FR 52402] which comprehensively revised the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR), 49 CFR Parts 171 to 180, with respect to hazard communication, classification, and packaging requirements, based on the UN Recommendations. One intended effect of the rule was to facilitate the international transportation of hazardous materials by ensuring a basic consistency between the HMR and international regulations. The UN Recommendations are not regulations, but are recommendations issued by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These recommendations are amended and updated biennially by the Committee of Experts and are distributed to nations throughout the world. They serve as the basis for international modal regulations; specifically the IMDG Code, issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the ICAO Technical Instructions. In 49 CFR 171.12, the HMR authorize shipments prepared in accordance with the IMDG Code if all or part of the transportation is by vessel, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Offering, accepting and transporting hazardous materials by aircraft, in conformance with the ICAO Technical Instructions, and by motor vehicle either before or after being transported by aircraft, are authorized in Sec. 171.11 (with certain exceptions). On December 22, 1992, RSPA issued an interim final rule [Docket HM- 215; 57 FR 60738] amending Sec. 171.7 by incorporating the 1993-1994 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions and Amendment 26 to the IMDG Code. This rulemaking action authorized the use of the updated international regulations, effective January 1, 1993. Amendment 26 promulgated numerous miscellaneous changes to the IMDG Code regarding classification, labeling, packaging, and documentation. The 1993-1994 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions contained amendments relating to the seventh revised edition of the UN Recommendations, as well as changes specific to air transportation. The HMR, as revised under Docket HM-181, are largely based on the sixth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Selected provisions from the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations have been incorporated into the HMR under subsequent Docket HM-181 rulemaking actions. This NPRM seeks to more fully align the HMR with the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. These proposed changes to the HMR will provide consistency with the international air and sea transport requirements which, effective January 1, 1995, will be aligned with the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. While the changes introduced in the seventh and eighth revised editions are extensive and in some cases very detailed, some of the more significant changes are highlighted below. Major changes in the seventh revised edition include: --Definitions and criteria for the classification for gases were revised, three subdivisions for gases were created, and the physical states of gases were defined (e.g. liquefied gas, refrigerated liquefied gas, etc). Gases listed in the UN Recommendations were reclassified according to the agreed criteria. This effort will lead to improved harmonization of U.S. and European requirements for the classification of gases. These changes have already been incorporated in the HMR in Subpart D of Part 173. --Training requirements similar to those introduced into Part 172 Subpart H of the HMR under Docket HM-126F were added. --Criteria for self-reactive substances assigned to Division 4.1 were developed. The applicable test methods and criteria for self-reactive substances are based on organic peroxide tests and criteria. New generic proper shipping names for self-reactive substances were introduced. --A number of new ``Not Otherwise Specified'' (N.O.S.) proper shipping names for substances in Class 4 and Division 5.1 were introduced. Proposals for introducing the new names originated from efforts in Europe to adopt the classification criteria for Class 4 and Division 5.1 into European road and rail regulations. --Provisions defining conditions under which minor variations of tested design-type packagings and requirements for ``V'' marked packagings were added. Proposals to include these requirements originated in the U.S. out of concern for the extent of testing that would otherwise be required to certify packagings in accordance with the UN performance standards. These provisions have already been adopted in the HMR in Subpart M of Part 178. Major changes in the eighth revised edition include: --Numerous additional types of packaging were added to the explosive packing instructions. This was largely a U.S. initiative arising from a concern for the number of packagings that would otherwise have to be authorized through exemptions. --Provisions for elevated temperature materials were added. These provisions are consistent with those adopted in the HMR under Docket HM-198A. --Criteria defining substances not able to sustain combustion were included. The criteria for flammable liquids were amended so that certain substances which meet the flash point criteria for flammable liquids, but which are shown to be incapable of sustaining combustion, are excepted from the Recommendations. This proposal was originally proposed by the United Kingdom, which had similar provisions in its domestic regulations. --The criteria for corrosive substances were modified to reference the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development test protocol for skin corrosivity and to clarify the extent of skin damage needed for substances to be classified as corrosives. This was done in response to initial proposals by Germany and the European chemical industry. --A number of new N.O.S. proper shipping names for substances in Class 3, Division 6.1 and Class 8 were introduced. Proposals for introducing the new names originated from efforts in Europe to adopt the classification criteria for these hazard classes into European road and rail regulations. Proper shipping names for petroleum products also were updated as part of this effort. --The Recommendations were amended to require that a package bear labels representing each subsidiary risk of a material described using an N.O.S. proper shipping name. This amendment was based on a proposal made by the United Kingdom. --The current Division 6.1 Packing Group III label was deleted. For a more detailed discussion of the events leading to this decision, see RSPA's Notice 93-21 under Docket HM-217 published in the Federal Register on November 8, 1993 [58 FR 59224]. --Requirements for a freight container packing certificate were added on the basis of a United Kingdom proposal seeking to bring the UN Recommendations in line with the IMDG Code requirements. --A number of substances meeting the criteria of Division 6.1 Packing Group I toxic by inhalation were reclassified based on U.S. proposals. --Provisions on the marking of steel drums used to transport dangerous goods and provisions clarifying the requirements applicable to drum reconditioners and remanufacturers were included on the basis of proposals by the International Association for Drum Reconditioners (ICDR). --Detailed test criteria for lithium batteries were added. The new provisions allow batteries with a higher lithium content to be excepted from regulation if they meet new tests and criteria. The initial proposal on this topic was introduced by Canada. --Criteria under which air bag modules and air bag inflators could be transported as Class 9 items were introduced. Proper shipping names for these articles were also added. These changes were made on the basis of U.S. proposals. With a few exceptions described in this paragraph, the following changes are proposed to ensure a basic consistency with many changes contained in the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations, the 1993-1994 and the 1995-1996 ICAO Technical Instructions, and Amendments 26 and 27 of the IMDG Code. However, proposed changes to the KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD label and placard provisions will be addressed in a notice of proposed rulemaking under Docket HM-217. In addition, proposed amendments to provisions for Division 6.2 materials (infectious substances) will be addressed in a separate rulemaking action under Docket HM-181G. Although the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations adopted a quality assurance program for the manufacture of performance packagings, RSPA is not proposing a formal quality assurance program in this document. RSPA believes that periodic retest provisions in Subpart M of Part 178 offer an equivalent measure of quality assurance, but RSPA may propose adoption of a more formal quality assurance program in a future rulemaking action. Comments are solicited on this issue. Summary of Proposed Regulatory Changes by Section Part 171 Section 171.7. Various standards such as those issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) would be added or updated, and the most current versions of the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, and the UN Recommendations would be incorporated. Section 171.8. New definitions for ``Asphyxiant gas,'' ``Gas'' and ``Siftproof packaging'' would be added, and definitions for ``Box,'' ``Liquid,'' ``Overpack'' and ``Solid'' would be revised for consistency with the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. The definition for ``UN standard packaging'' would be revised to clarify that it applies to both U.S-manufactured and foreign- manufactured packagings and to delete reference to Subparts L and M of Part 178. Section 171.11. Paragraph (d)(5) would be revised to include the word ``toxic'' when referring to a poison. Section 171.12. Paragraph (c) would be revised to clarify that this paragraph applies only to the shipment of hazardous materials through U.S. port areas in the course of being transported from one foreign country to another. In addition, paragraph (b) would be revised for the following reasons. RSPA received three petitions for rulemaking requesting an amendment to the HMR to require a container packing certification attesting that the freight container has been properly packed, stowed, segregated and secured for transport. Those responsible for packing the unit would be required to provide a certificate or declaration to the carrier for international transportation by vessel. A freight container packing certification requirement was adopted several years ago under Amendment 24 to the IMDG Code and became effective worldwide on January 1, 1994, as mandated under the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS Convention). When hazardous materials are packed into a freight container or transport vehicle for transportation by vessel, those responsible for packing the unit must provide a certificate or declaration to the carrier attesting that the container is suitable for transport, that it contains compatible materials in packages that have been properly inspected, packed, and secured, and the container and packages are properly marked, labeled, and placarded. This certification may appear either in a separate document or in a signed statement provided on the dangerous goods shipping document. Because the U.S. is a signatory to the SOLAS Convention, petitioners urged RSPA to adopt a similar container packing certification requirement under the HMR. RSPA is proposing to amend Secs. 171.12(b) and 176.27(c) to reference IMDG Code requirements for a container packing certification for freight containers and transport units intended for carriage by vessel. A ``unit'' could be a freight container, van trailer, or other transport vehicle. This requirement would apply to persons who load hazardous materials for transportation (including freight forwarders, freight consolidators and non-vessel operating common carriers) or transport hazardous materials by vessel. Section 171.14. Paragraph (c)(3) contains provisions for intermixing old and new hazard communication requirements. Because of the October 1, 1993 mandatory compliance date for new hazard communication requirements, these provisions no longer apply. Therefore, paragraph (c)(3) would be removed and reserved. Part 172 Sections 172.101 and 172.102. RSPA is proposing to revise the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) and the list of special provisions in Sec. 172.102 for basic conformance with the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, the ICAO Technical Instructions (1995-1996 edition) and the 27th edition of the IMDG Code. Under Docket HM-181, the HMT was revised by consolidating the existing HMT, the Optional Table in Sec. 172.102, the UN Recommendations' List of Dangerous Goods, the ICAO Dangerous Goods List, the IMDG Code list of dangerous goods, the list of dangerous goods found in Canada's Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG), and the IM Tank Table. The IM Tank Table, though not codified in the HMR, authorized the transport of hazardous materials in intermodal (IM) portable tanks. The Optional Table contained in the pre-HM-181 HMR was the table used for selection of proper shipping names to be used in domestic and international transportation by vessel. RSPA consolidated the tables under Docket HM-181 to simplify the use and reduce the volume of the HMR, as well as to align HMR hazard communication and classification requirements with the UN Recommendations. Since publication of HM-181, the UN, ICAO, and IMO have incorporated changes to their lists of dangerous goods. If RSPA does not incorporate comparable changes to the HMT, the result will be two sets of regulations (one for domestic and one for international transportation) and confusion in the regulated community--which could result in unsafe shipments and restrictions on international trade. In addition, by not adopting such changes, RSPA will expend considerable resources reviewing and issuing approvals and initiating separate rulemakings to authorize shipments prepared in accordance with the international standards. Proposed changes to shipping descriptions are based primarily on Chapters 2 and 3 of the UN Recommendations. In turn, the changes to the IMO and ICAO lists of dangerous goods also are based on the UN Recommendations. Proposed changes include additions, deletions and revisions of shipping names, classifications, subsidiary hazards, labeling requirements, and packing group assignments--such as adding or changing a material's packing group. In addition, RSPA proposes to permit a special provision to be assigned to a shipping description to clarify the composition of a material described under a specific entry. Except for certain materials, such as elevated temperature materials and sodium batteries, proposed changes to a material's packaging authorizations are based on a material's packing group and subsidiary hazard, and physical state (solid, liquid, or gas). Packaging authorizations would be consistent with corresponding entries already appearing in the HMT. For example, the non-bulk packaging section for a Class 3, Packing Group I material would be Sec. 173.201. A Division 6.1, Packing Group III material would be assigned Sec. 173.153 for a possible packaging exception, while a Division 6.1, Packing Group I or II material would receive no packaging exception section. A Class 8, Packing Group I liquid material would be assigned Sec. 173.243 for bulk packaging requirements while a Class 8, Packing Group II liquid material would be assigned to Sec. 173.242. It is important to note that any change to a material's classification, packing group, or subsidiary hazards could have an effect on the material's packaging authorizations. Under HM-181, IM tank authorizations were consolidated into the HMT (through the use of special provisions prefaced by a ``T'') and were consistent with the sixth revision of the UN Recommendations. In this notice, RSPA is proposing to revise the IM tank authorizations for consistency with the changes in Chapter 12 of the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. These proposed changes can be found in the ``T-note'' authorizations that are listed in Column 7 of the HMT. The aircraft quantity limitations in Column 9 and the vessel stowage requirements in Column 10 would be revised for consistency with the ICAO Technical Instructions and IMDG Code, respectively. In Sec. 172.101(k)(1)-(k)(5), the definitions of the vessel stowage codes, which are prescribed in the Sec. 172.101 Table, would be revised for consistency with the IMDG Code. This proposed revision would broaden current stowage provisions for hazardous materials on cargo vessels to apply to hazardous materials (such as propane) on passenger vessels carrying a limited number of passengers. Changes proposed to the HMT are quite extensive--approximately 33% of the entries in the HMT would be changed. Therefore, RSPA is publishing the entire proposed HMT in this notice, but does not believe it is necessary to discuss every proposed change in this section review. However, in order to facilitate the reader's understanding of the changes to the HMT, RSPA is providing a list of all entries that would be added, deleted, or made more restrictive. This list includes changes in (1) the shipping name, (2) IM tank authorization, (3) subsidiary labeling, (4) classification, and (5) packaging. In addition, a discussion of some of the more substantive changes is provided. Many proper shipping names were added in the 1995-1996 ICAO Technical Instructions to reflect both singular and plural forms. The eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations added a provision allowing the use of either the singular or plural form of a proper shipping name. RSPA is not proposing to add separate entries in the HMT to indicate both the singular and plural form of a proper shipping name because Sec. 172.101(c)(1) currently permits use of either form. Numerous editorial changes would be made to the HMT to correct misspellings and errors, and to provide more consistency. An entry having only a typographical error corrected is not shown in the list of significant changes. Therefore, it is necessary to review the entire HMT to determine every proposed change. Currently under the HMR, compressed and liquefied gases of the same material have the same shipping description and identification number (I.D. number). RSPA is proposing to split the generic shipping descriptions for ``Compressed or Liquefied gases'' into separate entries and add new generic entries and I.D. numbers for liquefied gases, consistent with the UN Recommendations. In addition, new generic entries would be added for self-heating liquids and solids. Specific entries for self-reactive materials would be removed from the HMT and replaced with new generic entries. The UN Recommendations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and IMDG Code replaced the term ``poisonous'' with the term ``toxic.'' RSPA is proposing to amend the proper shipping names in the HMT that contain the word ``poisonous'' by replacing the word ``poisonous'' with the word ``toxic'' to conform to international terminology. For example, the proper shipping name ``Flammable liquid, poisonous, n.o.s.'' would be revised to read ``Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s.''. However, Sec. 172.101(c)(3) would be revised to allow the use of the word ``poisonous'' interchangeably with the word ``toxic''. The words ``inorganic'' and ``organic'' would be added to certain generic shipping descriptions. Comments are invited regarding the safety benefits of these modified descriptions, and as to whether there is a need for domestic exceptions. In addition, RSPA is proposing to add new generic entries for a corrosive material to indicate whether the material is ``basic'' or ``acidic.'' RSPA also is proposing to add new entries, as adopted in the UN Recommendations, for solid materials containing flammable, corrosive, or toxic liquids. The eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations added entries and assigned new UN I.D. numbers for elevated temperature materials. RSPA is proposing to change the I.D. numbers for elevated temperature materials in the HMT to correspond with those in the UN Recommendations. Currently under the HMR, air bags are assigned to the Division 4.1 hazard class and the proper shipping name is limited to ``Air bag inflators'' or ``Air bag modules.'' Based on changes in the UN Recommendations, RSPA would revise the proper shipping name for air bags to include seat belt pre-tensioners and modules. The new proper shipping name would be ``Air bag inflators or Air bag modules or Seat- belt modules or Seat-belt pre-tensioners.'' This entry also would reflect a change in classification from Division 4.1 to Class 9, adoption of a new UN number, and removal of the ``D'' in Column 1. Two new domestic entries would be added for ``Toy caps'' and ``Toy propellant devices''. Toy propellant devices containing 30 grams or less propellant would be classed as Division 1.4S while items containing more than 30 grams but not more than 62.5 grams would be classed as Division 1.4C. Two new entries for ``Batteries, containing sodium'' and ``Cells, containing sodium'' would be added in the HMT based on the UN Recommendations entry (UN 3292). Since these materials were previously authorized only under the terms of an exemption or competent authority approval, RSPA is proposing to add a new packaging section Sec. 173.189 that prescribes general packaging and transport requirements for these materials consistent with the UN Recommendations. Currently, in Column 1, a ``+'' is assigned to certain materials meeting the criteria of Division 6.1, Packing Group I, toxic by inhalation, but classed in another hazard class. The eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations incorporated revisions to the hazard classification of these materials to Division 6.1, Packing Group I, toxic by inhalation. Therefore, the ``+'' would be removed from Column 1 for any liquid poison by inhalation (PIH) material newly classed in Division 6.1, Packing Group I. The shipping name ``acetonitrile'' is proposed to replace the name ``methyl cyanide.'' The hazard class for ``Formaldehyde solutions'' currently shown as Class 9 would be revised to Class 8. Numerous generic pesticide entries would be revised to remove the ``n.o.s.'' from the shipping names. Previously under the UN Recommendations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and the IMDG Code, a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1, Packing Group III was not recognized. However, the international standards now take such a subsidiary hazard into account. Therefore, numerous entries would appear for the first time with a Division 6.1, Packing Group III subsidiary hazard. In addition, an exception in Sec. 172.101(c)(12)(iii), which allows a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1, Packing Group III to be disregarded when selecting a proper shipping name, would be removed. Revised generic shipping descriptions for Division 4.3 materials would be prefaced by the words ``water-reactive'' in lieu of the words ``substances which in contact with water emit''. The prefix of the identification number for ``Polyester resin kits'' would be changed to ``UN'' from ``NA'' and a special provision ``40'' would be added in Column 7 that would specify contents and packaging requirements for polyester resin kits. In addition, Special Provision ``117'' would be removed from the entry corresponding to ``UN 0150.'' The entry for alcoholic beverages would be revised in Column 7 to include Special Provision ``24'', which would indicate that alcoholic beverages with more than 70 percent alcohol by volume would be assigned Packing Group II and alcoholic beverages containing more than 24 percent but not more than 70 percent alcohol would be assigned Packing Group III. In addition, Sec. 173.150 would be revised to increase (to five liters per inner packaging) the quantity of alcoholic beverage in a packaging excepted from the HMR and to provide an exception adopted in the UN Recommendations to permit Packing Group III alcoholic beverages transported in receptacles of 250 L (66 gallons) or less to be excepted from the HMR unless transported by air. The following tables identify those entries that would be: (1) deleted; (2) significantly changed; or (3) added. An entry is considered significantly changed if there is a change in (1) the shipping name, (2) IM tank authorization, (3) subsidiary labeling, (4) classification, or (5) packaging. Each entry is identified by its identification number which, along with the cross-reference table appearing in the HMR prior to the HMT, can be used to identify the affected entries.

In a November 5, 1992 final rule entitled ``Marine Pollutants'' [57 FR 52934], RSPA stated that it would consider, in a future rulemaking action, a criteria-based system to identify marine pollutants. Adoption of a criteria-based system would provide continuity and harmony, as well as permit identification of potential pollutants previously not identified. Therefore, RSPA is proposing to add two notes which are consistent with recent IMO decisions. The first, Note 4, would allow a material meeting criteria for a marine pollutant in the IMDG Code but not listed in Appendix B of Sec. 172.101, to be transported as a marine pollutant. Note 5 would allow the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety to except from HMR requirements a material listed in Appendix B of the HMR that does not meet the IMDG Code criteria for a marine pollutant. In addition, a number of materials would be added to, or removed from, the HMR's List of Marine Pollutants. Section 172.102. Special Provisions 23, 24, 26, 32, 34-40, and 43- 51 would be added to Sec. 172.102. These special provisions relate to certain materials' classifications and any special packaging requirements that are necessary to safely transport these materials. Due to an oversight, Special Provision 23 was already added in a final rule published June 2, 1994 [Docket HM-166Z; 59 FR 28493]. This special provision concerned classification of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Special Provision 23 in this notice does not apply to ammonium nitrate fertilizer and is not intended to revise the recently adopted Special Provision 23. However, because of a time constraint and the difficulty in amending Column 7 of the HMT, the new provision will be proposed in this notice under Special Provision 23, but will be renumbered to Special Provision 38 in the final rule under Docket HM-215A. Section 172.203. A new paragraph (o) would be added to require additional information to be included in the shipping paper description for organic peroxides and self-reactive materials. In addition, paragraphs (k) and (m) would be revised based on changes to the HMT. In paragraph (k), the list of shipping names requiring technical names would be revised based on changes to the HMT. In paragraph (m), the reference to ``Poison'' would be modified to include an alterna
