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 revisions are necessary to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.#
Passage 2DATES: Effective date: The effective date of these amendments is October 1, 1997. Compliance date: RSPA is authorizing immediate voluntary compliance. However, persons voluntarily complying with these regulations should be aware that petitions for reconsideration may be received and, as a result of RSPA's evaluation of those petitions, the amendments adopted in this final rule could be subject to further revision. Incorporation by reference. The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in these amendments has been approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of October 1, 1997.

Passage 3On 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 (UNCOE). These recommendations are amended and updated biennially by the UNCOE and are distributed to nations throughout the world. They serve as the basis for national, regional, and international modal regulations (specifically the IMDG Code, issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the ICAO Technical Instructions, issued by the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel). 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 (subject to certain conditions and limitations). On December 29, 1994, RSPA issued a final rule [Docket HM-215A; 59 FR 67390] amending the HMR by incorporating changes to more fully align the HMR with the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations, Amendment 27 to the IMDG Code and the 1995-96 ICAO Technical Instructions. The final rule provided consistency with international air and sea transportation requirements which became effective January 1, 1995. In a final rule published December 16, 1996, RSPA incorporated the latest editions of the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code into the HMR to ensure that international shippers could begin complying with changes to international air and vessel standards going into effect on January 1, 1997. That final rule authorized compliance with either Amendment 27 or Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code and either the 1995-96 or 1997-98 ICAO Technical Instruct#
Passage 4ions until June 1, 1997. This final rule amends the HMR based on the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, the 1997-98 ICAO Technical Instructions, and Amendment 28 to the IMDG Code. It is intended to more fully align the HMR with international air and sea transport requirements which became effective January 1, 1997. Other changes are based on feedback from the regulated industry and RSPA initiatives. RSPA received over 40 comments in response to the Docket HM-215B Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which was published in the Federal Register on October 25, 1996 (61 FR 55364). Comments were submitted by chemical manufacturers, trade associations, packaging manufacturers, and rail and vessel carriers. Commenters were supportive of RSPA's efforts to maintain alignment with international standards. Certain issues proposed in the NPRM received little or no comment. Other issues, including a proposed definition for ``aerosol,'' a proposed approval requirement for certain nitroglycerin mixtures, and various proposed changes for organic peroxides and explosives packagings, were the focus of most comments. Several commenters requested transitional provisions and other amendments to the HMR as part of this initiative. In this final rule, RSPA is providing a delayed compliance period for implementation of these changes; however, many other suggestions are beyond the scope of the proposed changes in this rule and first should be the subject of an NPRM to offer adequate opportunity for notice and comment. III. Summary of Regulatory Changes by Section Listed below is a section-by-section summary of changes and, as applicable, a discussion of comments received. Section 171.7 RSPA proposed to add or update various American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, including an ASTM standard for flash point determination (ASTM D-3828-93) which establishes whether a material is capable of sustaining combustion in relation to classifying flammable liquids (ASTM D-4206-96), and the ASTM standard for assessing corrosivity to metals (ASTM G 31-72 (Reapproved 1995)). ASTM D-3828-93 is the Standard Test Method for Flash Point by#
Passage 5Small Scale Closed Tester. This method is equivalent to ASTM D-3278 but specifically applies to testing petroleum products and lubricants. ASTM D 4206-96 Standard Test Method for Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures Using the Small Scale Open-Cup Apparatus is equivalent to the test method currently provided in Part 173, Appendix H-Method of Testing for Sustained Combustibility. In addition, RSPA proposed to incorporate the most current versions of the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, the UN Recommendations and the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Updated references for the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions were adopted in a final rule published December 16, 1996 [61 FR 65958] with an effective date of June 1, 1997. Two references were proposed for incorporation under the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations issued by Transport Canada. These new entries reference Schedule 21 and Schedule 22, which were adopted in 1995. Section 171.8 In the NPRM, RSPA proposed several new definitions, including a definition for ``Aerosol'' which is consistent with provisions of Sec. 173.306(a)(3). As noted in the NPRM, the definition for aerosols in the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions includes containers that are filled solely with a gas, whereas aerosol containers authorized in Sec. 173.306(a)(3) may be charged with a gas only for the purpose of expelling a liquid, powder or paste. RSPA received two comments opposing the proposed definition of ``Aerosol''. Both commenters (a chemical manufacturing company and The Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Association (CSMA)) believed the definition in the HMR should be worded in the same manner as in the UN Recommendations. These commenters also claimed that the proposed definition may not cover foams, pastes, gels and other liquids which are not ejected in suspension in a gas. CSMA further noted that the proposed definition only recognizes metal aerosol containers while international standards authorize glass and plastic as materials of construction for aerosol containers. RSPA's proposed definition for ``Aerosol'' corresponds to current requirements for aerosols in Sec. 173.306(a)(3). Paragraph (a)(3) contains an authorization for the use of metal nonspecification packagings charged with a solution of materials and compressed gas or gases (i.e., aerosols) with certain restrictions#
Passage 6applying to internal pressure, filling limits and testing of the container. The capacity of this container cannot exceed 50 cubic inches or 27.7 fluid ounces. These provisions apply only to solutions of materials and compressed gas or gases which are not poisonous (other than Division 6.1, Packing Group III materials). A final rule published October 28, 1991, under Docket HM-210 [56 FR 55471], was issued for clarification and to promote the safe transportation of gases shipped under limited quantity provisions. This final rule stated, in part: RSPA is concerned about the serious potential hazards posed by shipping flammable compressed gases, under limited quantity or consumer commodity provisions, when a compressed gas is the primary product and not merely an aerosol propellant additive. RSPA and its predecessor agencies never intended that gases other than those used as a propellant could be excepted from any of the HMR when a package has more than a 4-fluid ounce capacity.#
Passage 7Thus, current aerosol provisions in the HMR do not correspond to the aerosol definition in international standards, which authorizes a gas to be expelled ``without a liquid, paste, or powder.'' Nor does RSPA intend to adopt such a provision, because filling a container solely with a gas, such as butane, poses a significantly greater risk than filling the container with a liquid, paste or powder which is expelled by a butane gas due to greater quantities of gas contained in aerosols that do not contain liquid, paste or powder. Furthermore, in response to commenters' concern that the proposed definition may not cover foams, pastes, gels and other liquids which are not ejected in suspension in a gas, RSPA believes that because foams or gels would be considered liquids expelled by a gas, it is not necessary to specifically list them. Another difference between domestic requirements for aerosols and international standards is that the HMR authorize only metal containers, while non-metallic (e.g., made from glass or plastic) containers are authorized internationally. A November 13, 1995 response to a petition for reconsideration issued under Docket HM-215A [60 FR 56957] emphasized that only metal aerosol containers are authorized for use. This document noted that ``RSPA is not aware of any proposed industry standards for the manufacture and use of aerosol containers other than those made of metal.'' Nor is RSPA aware of any subsequent ongoing action to propose industry standards for the manufacture and use of non-metallic aerosol containers. In addition, RSPA proposed corresponding changes in Secs. 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a to clarify the proposed definition of aerosols as it applies to aerosols imported in accordance with the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code and the TDG Regulations. These changes, as well as the definition for aerosols, are adopted as proposed in this final rule. RSPA also proposed definitions for ``SADT'' (self-accelerating decomposition temperature), salvage packagings and intermediate packagings. No comments were received on these proposed definitions, and they are adopted as proposed. Sections 171.11, 171.12, and 171.12a These sections authorize shipments prepared under the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, and the TDG Regulations, respectively. RSPA proposed to remove the requirement to include the words ``Dangerous When#
Passage 8Wet'' on shipping papers in association with the basic description for Division 4.3 materials. Commenters uniformly supported this proposal, stating that the change was compatible with international standards and that the ``Dangerous When Wet'' hazard is clearly communicated through indication of Division 4.3 as part of the basic shipping description and through use of Division 4.3 labels and placards. Therefore, RSPA is removing the requirement for ``Dangerous When Wet'' to appear on shipping papers in association with the basic description. RSPA also proposed that the words ``Toxic Inhalation Hazard'' be added as an alternative to ``Poison Inhalation Hazard'' or ``Inhalation Hazard'' and that ``Toxic'' or ``Toxic Gas'' be added as alternatives to ``Poison'' or ``Poison Gas''. A corresponding provision for shipping paper descriptions was proposed for Sec. 172.203(m). Two comments expressing opposing viewpoints were received. One commenter, an international chemical and industrial gases manufacturer, supported this proposal, stating that this alternative will simplify compliance when shipping materials poisonous by inhalation. The other commenter, a vessel carrier, believed consistency could be achieved through use of only the ``Toxic'' designation. This commenter claimed that providing an option for use of either term will confuse people in the field. RSPA does not agree and is adopting the alternative ``Toxic Inhalation Hazard'' as proposed in the NPRM. However, RSPA is not adopting proposed modifications to#
Passage 9POISON and POISON GAS label and placard references. These references were recently modified by the Docket HM-206 final rule [62 FR 1227] and RSPA believes additional modifications to these references are unnecessary. Also, as discussed above for Sec. 171.8, RSPA is adopting a provision to allow only aerosols meeting the definition of ``aerosol'' in Sec. 171.8 to be imported in accordance with the ICAO Technical Instructions, IMDG Code and TDG regulations. Section 171.14 A new paragraph (d) is added to provide a delayed implementation date for amendments adopted in this final rule. The effective date of this final rule is October 1, 1997. However, RSPA is authorizing an immediate voluntary compliance date to allow shippers to prepare their international shipments in accordance with the new ICAO, IMDG Code and HMR provisions. RSPA is also authorizing a delayed mandatory compliance with the new requirements, until October 1, 1998. This delay is comparable to the transition provisions provided in the final rule under Docket HM-215A and offers a sufficient phase-in period to implement new provisions and deplete current stocks of shipping papers, labels, placards, and containers affected by the new requirements. In addition, paragraph (d)(2) permits intermixing of old and new hazard communication requirements until October 1, 1998.#
Passage 10Section 172.101 A new paragraph (c)(14) is added to allow isomers of materials listed in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) which meet the same hazard class, subsidiary risk and packing group to be identified using the listed shipping description. One commenter suggested adding a provision to exclude isomers listed specifically in the HMT. RSPA agrees and is revising this paragraph to reflect the commenter's suggestion. A new paragraph (c)(15) is adopted to allow hydrates of inorganic substances to be described using the proper shipping name for the equivalent anhydrous material. In this final rule, RSPA is clarifying the proposed regulatory text to indicate that the hydrate must meet the same hazard class or division, subsidiary risk(s) and packing group of the equivalent anhydrous material, unless the hydrate is specifically identified in the Table. Paragraph (f) is revised to acknowledge that Division 6.2 materials (other than regulated medical waste) do not have packing group assignments. Changes to the HMT include: New Packing Group I entries added for certain commodities, including Adhesives, Resin solutions, Paint and Paint-related material, Disinfectants, Dyes, and Oxidizing liquid, n.o.s. An alternative proper shipping name ``Refrigerant gas'' plus the ``R'' number is added to numerous entries, consistent with the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Current entries that contain an italicized ``R'' number are revised to include the ``R'' number in Roman type as part of the ``Refrigerant gas'' alternative proper shipping name. One commenter engaged in reselling prepackaged refrigerants expressed concern that some refrigerant manufacturers would use the newly authorized ``Refrigerant gas, R ***'' proper shipping name while others would continue to use the current chemical name; consequently, a shipping paper description, package markings and emergency response information may not match. This commenter recommended that differences in proper shipping names resulting from mixed use of the original and alternative proper shipping name on markings, emergency response information and shipping papers be authorized indefinitely, as long as the same UN or NA identification number appears on the shipping paper, emergency response information, and package markings. RSPA does not agree. The HMT contains numerous entries providing an alternative prope#
Passage 11r shipping name. It is RSPA's opinion that to offer various mix and match provisions for such entries is impracticable and could result in greater confusion. Certain Class 1 entries assigned NA numbers for domestic transportation are removed. These include Explosive pest control devices and Propellant explosives (both liquid and solid). Domestic exceptions for these explosives are incorporated into the explosive packing instructions, where applicable. RSPA proposed a new entry and special provision for a nitroglycerin mixture containing more than 2 percent but not more than 10 percent nitroglycerin. The special provision sets forth a requirement that the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety (AAHMS) must specifically authorize the nitroglycerin mixture as a Division 4.1 material, as well as approve the assigned packing group and packaging method before the material may be transported as a Division 4.1 material. A chemical manufacturer and several pharmaceutical manufacturers opposed this proposal. According to these commenters, a preparation consisting of 10% nitroglycerin is used in the treatment of acute angina attacks. They claimed that, unless this proposal is dropped or the domestic supplier of this material is granted an approval to ship the preparation as a Division 4.1 material, transporting this material as a Division 1.1D explosive would have a significant negative impact on the continued production and distribution of this product. RSPA does not agree. A certain preparation containing 10% nitroglycerin was considered to be a UN 0143, 1.1D explosive by the UNCOE in December 1994, based on the fact that the preparation detonated in the bonfire test prescribed in test series 6(c) of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The UNCOE recognized that not all preparations containing 10% nitroglycerin behave the same. Therefore, the UNCOE adopted UN 3319 with a provision for each competent authority to authorize, either by approval or exemption, a preparation consisting of not more than 10% nitroglycerin as a Division 4.1 material based on test results. This provision is consistent with the existing provisions of Sec. 173.124(a)(1)(ii)(B) for desensitized explosive substances which require authorization, either by approval or exemption, by the AAHMS. RSPA believes that a 10% nitroglycerin preparation that will detonate in a fire should be co#
Passage 12nsidered a forbidden material according to Sec. 173.21(h). If the preparation is or may be explosive according to Sec. 173.54(a), it is forbidden for transport unless examined and approved under the provisions of Sec. 173.56. Depending on test results, the same preparation may be approved under Sec. 173.56 as a Division 4.1 material. RSPA does not believe the incorporation of UN 3319 with a lengthy transition period for shippers to obtain an approval or exemption, where appropriate, would seriously threaten the production of nitroglycerin pharmaceutical treatments in the United States. New entries are added for compressed gases and liquefied gases which are toxic and also meet flammable, corrosive, or oxidizing criteria. Packaging authorizations for the current entry ``Gas, refrigerated liquid'' are revised to reference the packaging provisions for cryogenic liquids. In addition, two new entries ``Gas, refrigerated liquid, flammable, n.o.s.'' and ``Gas, refrigerated liquid, oxidizing, n.o.s.'' are added. One commenter supported the proposal to change#
Passage 13packaging authorizations for ``Gas, refrigerated liquid'' to reference packagings for cryogenic liquids, but believed that packaging exceptions provided in Sec. 173.320 should be authorized for ``Gas, refrigerated liquid, n.o.s.'' and ``Gas, refrigerated liquid, oxidizing, n.o.s.'' The commenter claimed that this section should apply if the components of the mixture are exclusively various combinations of atmospheric gases and/or helium in cryogenic liquid form. RSPA agrees and is adding an exception in Column (8A) for these two entries. Several entries, such as Phenyl isocyanate and Phosphorous trichloride, are amended by revising the primary hazard class in Column (3) and/or Packing Group in Column (5). For some entries, such a change in hazard class or packing group also results in a corresponding removal of the ``+'' in Column (1). In Column (2) of the HMT, several proper shipping names are listed in Roman type, indicating that they are authorized proper shipping names. However, they are not listed as proper shipping names under the UN Recommendations, the ICAO Technical Instructions, or the IMDG Code. For consistency with the international regulations, RSPA is revising a number of proper shipping names, including ``Aircraft evacuation slides'', from Roman type to italics to indicate that they are no longer authorized proper shipping names. Certain entries, such as Diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and Methyl benzoate (which do not meet toxicity criteria for a Division 6.1 Packing Group III material) are removed. These commodities were deleted from the List of Dangerous Goods in the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. The packing group designation for ``Mercury, contained in manufactured articles'' is revised from Packing Group I to Packing Group III for consistency with the entry for ``Mercury'' and the ICAO Technical Instructions. To maintain consistency with the UN Recommendations, various proper shipping names are amended by the addition or removal of the word ``compressed'', ``inhibited'', ``liquefied'' or ``solution''. Several commenters indicated that although they generally support the international harmonization effort and overall intent to maintain consistency between the HMR, the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions, they did not understand the basis for the addition or deletion of the words ``com#
Passage 14pressed,'' ``inhibited,'' `` liquefied'' or ``solution'' relative to clarifying certain existing shipping names. These amendments were adopted by the UNCOE, in part, to more effectively communicate the threat posed by certain materials in their different physical states, e.g., pressurized materials that may be transported as a liquid or as a gas. The description modifications were supported by several large industry groups at the time the UNCOE was considering the amendments. RSPA recognizes that revising proper shipping names to include or exclude these four modifiers to the key words identifying the hazardous materials poses problems that makes compliance difficult in the one- year period provided in Sec. 172.101(l)(1)(ii). Those difficulties and the associated additional costs of compliance were highlighted in comments provided by several shippers and carriers of industrial gases. In consideration of those comments, RSPA is providing an exception in Sec. 172.101(l)(3) that obviates the need for shippers and carriers to make special arrangements to remark bulk or non-bulk packagings used in the transportation of the affected hazardous materials within one year following the effective date of this rule. Rather, when the proper shipping name of a hazardous material is modified only by the addition or omission of the word ``compressed,'' ``inhibited,'' `` liquefied'' or ``solution,'' its packaging may be marked with the previously prescribed proper shipping name for that material for a period of five years following the effective date of this rule. The extended compliance period is intended to allow re-marking to be accomplished in association with the periodic five-year retest required for most bulk packagings. To minimize the effects of other amendments, RSPA is incorporating an extended transition period comparable to that provided in Docket HM- 215A. This will allow industry time to deplete current stocks of pre- printed shipping papers, labels and packagings affected by the new shipping names and to implement the changes within their respective companies, including providing any necessary training to employees. Two commenters pointed out a conflict in the proposed addition of a Division 5.1 subsidiary risk label for the entry ``Carbon dioxide and oxygen mixtures''. RSPA has stated previously that this subsidiary risk should be recognized only when a mixt#
Passage 15ure contains a concentration of oxygen greater than 23.5%, requiring a subsidiary risk label for this entry without regard to the amount of oxygen in the mixture is inconsistent. Although the UN Recommendations prescribe a subsidiary 5.1 risk label without any distinctions, RSPA agrees with these commenters. Therefore, a new Special Provision 77 is added to limit the requirement for this subsidiary risk label to mixtures having an oxygen concentration greater than 23.5% for domestic transportation. In addition, RSPA intends to bring this inconsistency to the attention of the UN Committee of Experts. RSPA is adjusting quantity limits for certain materials identified as poisonous by inhalation when transported by passenger or cargo aircraft or passenger railcar. Many of these changes are consistent with current quantity limits prescribed in the ICAO Technical Instructions. Certain other materials are forbidden for transportation by aircraft or passenger railcar because they have been identified as meeting the criteria for poisonous by inhalation and assigned Hazard Zone A for liquids and Hazard Zones A and B for gases. Other changes to the HMT include: (1) Creating separate entries for ``Ammonia, anhydrous'' and ``Ammonia solutions''; (2) adding ``First aid kits'' as an alternative proper shipping name for the entry ``Chemical kits'' if the first aid kits contain hazardous materials; (3) combining entries for ``Chlorite solution'' and ``Hypochlorite solutions''; (4) removing ``Methyl alcohol'' as an authorized proper shipping name for ``Methanol'' but retaining it in italics as a cross reference; (5) adding a Class 3 subsidiary risk in Column (6) for several entries; and (6) creating a new entry for ``Aerosols (engine starting fluid)'' to indicate that these aerosols are prohibited on both passenger and cargo only aircraft. RSPA is not incorporating various entries suggested by commenters that were not proposed in the NPRM. As noted previously, these suggestions are beyond the scope of the proposed changes in this rule and should be subject to notice and comment. Appendix B to Sec. 172.101 RSPA proposed to add, remove or revise a number of entries in the HMR's List of Marine Pollutants. These changes are based on Amendment 27 (to the extent not already incorporated in HM-215A) and Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code. Currently, Appendix B contains a duplicate entry#
Passage 16for ``Maneb or Maneb preparations''; however, one entry has supplemental information in Roman type, while the supplemental information in the other entry is shown in italics. RSPA proposed to remove the entry listed in all Roman type. One#
Passage 17commenter indicated that the other entry should be retained for consistency with the IMDG Code. The commenter is correct; RSPA is retaining the entry ``Maneb or Maneb preparations with not less than 60 per cent maneb.'' In addition, several commenters suggested various other revisions to the list and RSPA has amended the list accordingly. Section 172.102 A new special provision 15 is added as proposed to prescribe quantity limits and packaging for chemical kits and first aid kits. Other special provisions are added to authorize reclassification for certain commodities and to provide exceptions based on testing, concentrations, or stabilization for materials such as Maneb, aqueous solutions of inorganic solid nitrates, and Ferrocerium. RSPA proposed to assign Special Provision 30 to the international entry for ``Sulfur'' to indicate that this material is not subject to the HMR when transported in a non-bulk packaging or if formed in a specific shape. The Sulphur Institute strongly supported this change and recommended rewording Special Provision 30 by removing the phrase ``when transported domestically''. RSPA agrees and this special provision is revised accordingly. One commenter suggested RSPA revise Special Provision 47 to incorporate a special provision adopted in the ICAO Technical Instructions which allows small packagings consisting of sealed packets containing less than 10 ml of a Packing Group II or III flammable liquid absorbed onto a solid material to be excepted from the HMR if no free liquid is present in the packet. The commenter believed this provision is consistent with a previous letter of opinion RSPA issued concerning alcohol wipes and should be adopted as an ``A'' special provision, at a minimum, for consistency with ICAO. RSPA agrees and is incorporating this exception into Special Provision 47 to apply to all modes of transport. RSPA proposed to add a new special provision A25 to authorize polyester resin kits in certain quantities to be packaged in non- specification packagings for transportation by aircraft. One commenter suggested removing this special provision, as well as Special Provision 40 (which currently is assigned to polyester resin kits), and incorporating all packaging provisions for polyester resin kits in Sec. 173.152. After further consideration, RSPA agrees and is adding specific packaging provisions in Sec. 173.152 app#
Passage 18licable to all modes of transport for polyester resin kits. In addition to revising the proper shipping name ``Aluminum smelting by-products or Aluminum remelting by-products'' (formerly Aluminum processing by-products), a new special provision B115 is assigned to this entry to permit certain non-specification bulk packagings for these products. Commenters representing the aluminum industry responded favorably to this proposal. A commenter suggested two modifications--one to add a new special provision applicable to both non-bulk and bulk packaging to include certain materials which exhibit corrosivity at PG II and III levels and the other to allow both special provisions to apply to ``magnesium granules.'' RSPA is adding a new Special Provision 128 and revising Sec. 172.101 Table entries for UN 3096 and UN 3131 (Packing Groups II and III) to allow aluminum smelting by-products and aluminum remelting by-products which are described by a generic proper shipping name because they meet the criteria for both Division 4.3 and Class 8, to be packaged in accordance with Special Provision B115. However, RSPA is not expanding this provision to include non-bulk packagings, nor will Magnesium granules be assigned B115. In the NPRM, RSPA proposed a special provision for aluminum by-products which would eliminate the need for DOT Exemption DOT-E-11602. RSPA does not believe it appropriate at this time to adopt, without public notice and comment, new provisions which go beyond the relief authorized in DOT-E-11602 and proposed in the NPRM. Special Provision N50, which provides an exception from Class 9 labeling for marine pollutants that are not hazardous substances or hazardous wastes, is removed. A corresponding change is made in Column 7 of the HMT to remove Special Provision N50 for the entries ``Environmentally hazardous substance, liquid (or solid) n.o.s.'' Section 172.203 RSPA is removing the requirement in paragraph (j) that the words ``Dangerous When Wet'' be annotated on shipping papers. As discussed previously, RSPA believes that the ``Dangerous When Wet'' hazard is adequately communicated through an indication of the Division 4.3 hazard class as part of the basic description on shipping papers. Commenters uniformly supported this proposal and stated that the change was compatible with international standards and that the ``Dangerous When Wet'' hazard is clearly#
Passage 19communicated through indication of Division 4.3 as part of the basic shipping description, emergency response information on the shipping paper, and use of Division 4.3 labels and placards. The list of generic proper shipping names which require inclusion of a technical name in paragraph (k)(3) is amended by adding several entries for hydrocarbon gases, hydrocarbon gas mixtures, and compressed, liquefied or refrigerated gases which have a subsidiary hazard of oxidizer or flammability. In addition, RSPA is adding the entry for ``Organometallic compound, water reactive, flammable, n.o.s.'' which was inadvertently omitted in a previous rulemaking action. As discussed previously in Secs. 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a, RSPA is adding the word ``Toxic'' and the phrase ``Toxic-Inhalation Hazard'' in paragraph (m)(3) as an alternative to ``Poison''. RSPA proposed the addition of a new paragraph (m)(4) to provide an exception from the requirement to indicate on a shipping paper that a material is toxic if the toxicity of the material is based solely on corrosive destruction of tissue rather than systemic poisoning. One commenter believed this exception should not apply to materials poisonous by inhalation, which require additional shipping paper information to communicate the presence of a fatal inhalation hazard. The commenter believed the proposal was ill conceived and not beneficial to safety. After further consideration, RSPA believes that this proposed exception may not be appropriate for any material meeting toxicity criteria, not just a toxic by inhalation hazard material. Therefore, proposed paragraph (m)(4) is not adopted in this final rule.#
Passage 20Section 173.3 Paragraph (c)(3) is amended to authorize the word ``SALVAGE'' as an alternative marking for salvage drums. In addition, a new paragraph (c)(7) is added to allow the use of salvage packagings which have been certified and marked to UN standards. RSPA is not adopting other marking requirements specified in the UN Recommendations such as: (1) Adding the letter ``T'' in the package specification markings following the package identification code (e.g. 1A2T/Y300/...); (2) annotating the words ``SALVAGE PACKAGING'' after the basic description on the shipping papers; and (3) adopting salvage packaging performance tests requiring salvage packagings to be tested at the Packing Group II level using liquid as the test medium. It is RSPA's view that#
Passage 21additional costs incurred by such marking and performance testing requirements are not justified because salvage packaging provisions currently prescribed in the HMR are adequate. Two commenters addressed proposed changes to this section and both supported RSPA's decision to retain current salvage packaging provisions. For example, the Steel Shipping Container Institute maintained that it could not support complete harmonization with international salvage packaging standards until it has been clearly determined that incidents of failure in salvage packagings meeting the UN standards are less than those meeting current HMR requirements. Section 173.21 The last sentence of paragraph (f) is amended to correctly reference the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Section 173.32c Currently an IM portable tank or its compartment having a volume greater than 5000 liters must have a minimum filling density of 80%. RSPA proposed to increase the minimum tank or compartment size to 7500 liters, consistent with international standards. One commenter claimed that RSPA's proposal did not go far enough and indicated that a filling restriction on portable tanks used solely for domestic highway transport is unjustified and precludes shippers from transporting relatively small quantities of hazardous materials in portable tanks. The commenter believed that a filling restriction of less than 80% for IM portable tanks or compartments should not apply to transport by highway. This commenter also stated that the purpose of the ``80% rule'' was to preclude hydraulic surge that could make adequate securing of portable tanks aboard vessels difficult and potentially dangerous, but that surge is not a safety concern in highway transport. RSPA disagrees that surge is not a safety concern in highway transport of IM portable tanks. Portable tanks, when mounted on a vehicle chassis, may have a higher center of gravity as compared to standard cargo tank trucks. The effects of liquid movement and its destabilizing effect at high speed and during abrupt turning can contribute to roll-over. This effect is most predominant when ullage is greater than 20%. Furthermore, it is RSPA's opinion that information supplied by this commenter does not provide sufficient incentive for RSPA to expand relief beyond that proposed in the NPRM. RSPA may consider this matter further in future rulemaking action on th#
Passage 22e basis of pertinent technical justification (e.g., data indicating forces experienced during transport of portable tanks as a result of cargo surge). Section 173.34 Because of a printing error, in the table in paragraph (e)(18)(i), for DOT 8 or 8AL cylinders used to transport acetylene, under ``Porous filler requalification,'' the year ``2001'' is corrected to read ``2011'. Section 173.60 As proposed, amendments to this section are consistent with the UN Recommendations, are largely editorial and serve to streamline and consolidate general requirements for packaging explosives while eliminating redundant and unnecessary requirements. These amendments are intended to more clearly convey general packaging requirements applicable to packaging explosives for transportation and do not impose new requirements. RSPA received one comment from a company specializing in explosives regulatory compliance. This commenter recommended adding a reference to Sec. 173.24(e) at the end of Sec. 173.60(b)(8) and dropping proposed (b)(8) because (b)(9) addresses compatibility. RSPA does not agree. Section 173.60(b)(8) specifically addresses loose explosive substances or the explosives substance of a uncased or partly cased article which may present a sifting hazard from the package. However, RSPA believes it may be useful to add the explanatory reference to Sec. 173.24(e) at the end of Sec. 173.60(b)(9). Section 173.62 RSPA proposed new explosives packaging methods in the Explosives Table which were developed by the UNCOE, based on comments received from the Department of Defense and explosive industry representatives, and on competent authority approvals and exemptions issued to shippers of explosives. These new methods are significantly more flexible than the methods currently prescribed in the Explosives Table and incorporate a broader range of options for authorized inner, intermediate and outer packagings. In several instances, inner and intermediate packagings are no longer required. Explosives Packing Instructions are consistent with those adopted in the ICAO Technical Instructions. In addition, many explosives (particularly those shipped under not otherwise specified (n.o.s.) entries) which currently require competent authority packaging approval are now assigned to specific packing methods eliminating the requirement for the competent authority to approve the packaging#
Passage 23for these explosives. A commenter asked RSPA to revise a provision for jet perforating guns in proposed Packing Instruction US1 to allow a higher total explosives content per tool pallet, based on a current exemption authorizing this higher quantity of explosives. RSPA agrees and is revising US1 to authorize up to 90.8 kg (200 pounds) total explosive contents per pallet. Another commenter, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI), recommended several changes to the proposed revisions. First, SAAMI believed the elimination of inner packaging requirements for ``Cartridges, small arms'' (UN0012) is inconsistent with Sec. 173.60 (b)(3) and (b)(5). RSPA does not agree. Only when metal outer packagings are used for UN0012, would Sec. 173.60(b)(3) require a means of prevention from contact with the cartridges. This means could be padding or partitions and not necessarily an inner packaging. These cartridges have their explosives substances enclosed in an outer casing and do not require separation according to Sec. 173.60(b)(3). RSPA believes the recessed primer well design of most cartridges for weapons effectively protects the article from accidental actuation. Shippers should add protection for articles that present an actuation hazard according to Sec. 173.60(b)(5), but that protection can be offered by means other than requiring an inner packaging. Secondly, SAAMI claimed that ``Small arms ammunition, ORM-D'' would require more stringent packaging under Sec. 173.63(b)(2) than ``Cartridges, small arms'' classed as Division 1.4S and packaged in accordance with Packing Instruction 130. RSPA believes that more stringent packaging requirements for ORM-D materials (which are excepted from most shipping paper, marking, labeling and placarding provisions of the HMR) is appropriate. Furthermore, cartridges for weapons must be clearly identified, marked and labeled as Division 1.4S explosive articles. SAAMI also claimed that packaging requirements for ``Cases, cartridge, empty with primer'' (UN0055) are more stringent than for ``Cartridges, small arms'' (UN0012). RSPA believes the inner packaging requirement for UN0055, primed cartridge cases, empty in Packing Instruction 136 is appropriate. These cases have an exposed explosive substance coated or deposited on the primer which could loosen and sift out of the outer#
Passage 24packaging without the inner packaging requirement. RSPA does not agree with SAAMI's contention that the wording in Packing Instruction 133, regarding the authorization of trays as inner packagings for certain explosives, is confusing. RSPA believes that listing UN identification numbers for which the use of trays as inner packagings is prohibited is clearer because nearly 50 percent fewer numbers are listed. Finally, SAAMI recommended that for ``Primers, cap type'' (UN0044), D9 and D11 limitations assigned to current Packing Method E-142 should be reinstated in Packing Instruction 133. RSPA does not agree. The harmonization of the HMR to international performance-oriented packaging requirements and with general packaging instructions for explosives has resulted in the successful elimination of many explosive quantity limitations per package. As a result, shipper compliance has become easier to achieve without increased risk to the public. Section 173.120 Paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) are revised to include a reference to ASTM D 4206 and a new paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) is added to reference test method ASTM D 3828. Section 173.124 Amendments to the test methods for flammable solids, pyrophoric materials, self heating substances and water reactive materials are adopted as proposed. The Self-Reactive Materials Table is updated to include seven new substances, consistent with the UN Recommendations. In the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, Figure 14.2 (Flow Chart for Self-Reactive Substances) was amended. Paragraph (a)(2)(iv) of that chart is used to determine the generic type for a self-reactive material. Section 173.125 The criteria for classification and packing group assignment for readily combustible materials of Division 4.1 is amended for consistency with the UN Recommendations. A reference to Appendix E (which is removed in this final rule) is replaced by references to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. In paragraph (b), the UN burning rate test and criteria for classification is incorporated. The classification criteria for readily combustible materials is amended to require powdered, granular and pasty materials to be classified in Division 4.1 when the burning time for one or more of the test runs, according to the UN burning rate test method, is less than 45 seconds or the rate of burning is more than 2.2 mm/s. Powders of metal or metal#
Passage 25alloys are classified in Division 4.1 when they can be ignited and the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in 10 minutes or less. Readily combustible solids are assigned to Packing Group II if the burning time is less than 45 seconds and the flame passes the wetted zone. Packing Group II is assigned to powders of metal or metal alloys if the zone of reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in five minutes or less. Packing Group III is assigned if the burning time is less than 45 seconds and the wetted zone stops the flame propagation for at least four minutes. Packing Group III is assigned to metal powders if the reaction spreads over the whole length of the sample in more than five minutes but not more than ten minutes. In paragraph (c), Packing Group II and III assignment criteria for self-heating materials is revised to more accurately account for the volume of material being transported. For instance, certain self- heating materials which are packaged and transported in volumes less than 3 cubic meters or in quantities less than 450 liters are not subject to the requirements of the HMR. In paragraph (d), the packing group assignment criteria is revised for consistency with the UN Recommendations. These amendments do not significantly affect the packing group assignment criteria, but are purely editorial to clarify the meaning of ``spontaneous ignition.'' Section 173.127 RSPA is revising the definition for solid oxidizers and adding a new definition, test and criteria for liquid oxidizers. Liquid oxidizers would not be classified by analogy as currently required in the HMR. The references to Appendix F (which is removed in this final rule) are replaced by a reference to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Paragraph (b)(1) is revised to include a statement indicating that the material must be tested in the concentration offered for transport. The criteria for packing group assignment is revised to specify the ratios of solid oxidizing material and cellulose used in assessing the burning characteristics for comparison with the burning characteristics of potassium bromate, potassium perchlorate or potassium persulphate and cellulose mixtures. Paragraph (b)(2) incorporates packing group assignment criteria for liquid oxidizers adopted in the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Incorporating specific criteria for liqu#
Passage 26id oxidizers provides a more precise means for shippers to classify these products and eliminates ambiguity involved in classifying these materials by analogy. Section 173.128 In paragraph (c)(3) the reference to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria is revised to reflect its correct title. Paragraph (e) is amended to update the reference to Figure 11.1 (Classification and Flowchart Scheme for Organic Peroxides). Section 173.132 A new paragraph (b)(3)(iii) is added to clarify when solid and liquid materials are required to be tested for acute toxicity by inhalation. One commenter recommended that RSPA remove the second sentence in paragraph (b)(3) because proposed (b)(3)(iii) not only addresses this issue but is more specific. RSPA does not agree. While there is some overlap, current (b)(3) provides more details of testing and new (b)(3)(iii) is more specific as to when tests must be run. Current paragraph (c) is redesignated as paragraph (d), and a new paragraph (c) is added to authorize three methods for use in classifying and assigning packing groups to mixtures of materials possessing oral and dermal toxicity characteristics. One commenter pointed out that the formula in paragraph (c) is missing a ``+'' between the second and third fractions and also is missing a note found in international standards. In this final rule, RSPA is inserting the ``+'' between the second and third fractions. RSPA intentionally did not propose the additional note referenced by this commenter because the note provides optional information rather than imposing a regulatory requirement. However, for consistency with international standards and convenience of the reader, RSPA is adding the note at the end of paragraph (c). Section 173.136 A new paragraph (c) is added to clarify that skin corrosion test data developed prior to September 30, 1995, would continue to be valid. This revision is based on a statement in the preamble to the HM-215A final rule (December 29, 1994; 59 FR 67400) that RSPA would not require retesting of materials classified under the previous test method in Appendix A of Part 173. Section 173.137 Paragraph (b) is revised to clarify that, when determining whether a material#
Passage 27meets Class 8 Packing Group II, the material cannot meet Class 8 Packing Group I . Section 173.152 Limited quantity provisions are added in paragraph (b)(4)(i) for polyester resin kits for transport by all modes. Section 173.162 A new sentence is added at the end of the paragraph to provide an exception from the HMR for small quantities of gallium contained in manufactured articles or apparatuses. Section 173.166 This section is revised to remove all references to ``seat-belt modules'', consistent with changes in the UN Recommendations. Packaging provisions in paragraph (e) are revised to add drums, jerricans, and plastic boxes to the array of authorized packagings. In addition to non-specification containers currently authorized for transporting air bags within a controlled distribution system, RSPA is also specifically authorizing dedicated handling devices. Section 173.185 This section is revised for consistency with changes adopted in the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations and in the ICAO Technical Instructions. Currently there are different quantity limitations in the HMR for determining whether lithium cells and batteries may be designated as items of Class 9 on the basis of whether they meet the tests and criteria provided in the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. These limitations also apply to lithium cells and batteries contained in equipment. The limitations are based on whether the cells or batteries will be transported on passenger or cargo aircraft. Consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions, RSPA is adopting an authorization to allow cells containing not more than 12 grams of lithium or lithium alloy, and batteries containing not more than 500 grams of lithium or lithium alloy, to be designated as Class 9 when transported by passenger or cargo aircraft. This also applies to lithium cells and batteries contained in equipment under specified conditions. RSPA is also expanding the types of packagings authorized for transporting cells and batteries by aircraft to include an array of boxes, drums and jerricans. Additionally, RSPA is eliminating the requirement for equipment containing lithium cells and batteries to be packaged in waterproof outer packaging if the equipment itself is constructed to be waterproof (i.e., lifesaving equipment designed to function in water). One commenter indicated that his company's batteries would not#
Passage 28pass all the tests specified in the UN Tests and Criteria for lithium batteries. RSPA believes the regulations as adopted provide an adequate alternative for lithium battery manufacturers. Under Sec. 173.185 (i), manufacturers who experience difficulty in meeting the UN Tests and Criteria for lithium batteries may apply for an approval provided they can demonstrate an equivalent level of safety. Sections 173.201-173.203 and 173.211--173.213 Aluminum jerricans, 3B1 or 3B2, are added as authorized packagings in each of these sections. Section 173.220 Consistent with proposed changes in Sec. 176.905 for wet batteries transported by vessel, paragraph (c)(1) is amended to remove the reference to Sec. 176.905 and to state that a motor vehicle or mechanical equipment which is electrically powered is not subject to the HMR. Section 173.224 In paragraph (b), the Self-Reactive Materials Table is amended by adding seven new entries. The Packing Method Table for Generic Types in paragraph (c)(3) is removed because the information is specifically listed in the Self-Reactive Materials Table, and paragraph (c)(4) is redesignated paragraph (c)(3). Section 173.225 Paragraph (b) explains column headings in the Organic Peroxide table. Specifically, paragraph (b)(2) describes the information comprised in the column entitled ``ID Number.'' The word ``Exempt'' occasionally appears in place of an identification number, but is not defined in Sec. 173.225. In this final rule, paragraph (b)(2) is amended by adding a statement to clarify that the word ``Exempt,'' if it appears in the Organic Peroxide Table, means that the material is not regulated as an organic peroxide. In paragraph (b)(4)(ii), the use of type B diluents for desensitization of organic peroxides is authorized for all organic peroxides provided that the boiling point is at least 60 deg.C (140 deg.F) greater than the SADT of the organic peroxide in a 50 kg package. Paragraph (b)(6) is revised to indicate that lower control temperatures are required when IBCs and bulk packagings are used. Paragraph (c)(2), which prohibits IBCs and bulk packagings unless authorized through an approval, is removed. The Packing Method Table for Generic Types in paragraph (c)(3) is removed because the information is specifically listed in the Organic Peroxides Table, and paragraph (c)(4) is redesignated paragraph (c)(3). Paragraph (d) is rev#
Passage 29ised to consolidate two tables specifying packagings for liquid and solid organic peroxides and self-reactive materials into one table for both liquids and solids. RSPA is authorizing bottom outlets for organic peroxides in bulk packagings by removing the prohibition in the last sentence of paragraph (e)(2) and removing paragraph (e)(3)(i)(B). Paragraph (e)(3)(i)(C) is redesignated paragraph (e)(3)(i)(B). Paragraph (e)(5) is revised to authorize the transport of stabilized peroxyacetic acid, type F (containing not more than 17 percent peroxyacetic acid) in type 31A IBCs. A similar proposal made by the United States has been approved by the UN Committee of Experts for incorporation into the tenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Section 173.226 Paragraph (c)(1) is amended to add aluminum jerricans as an authorized packaging. Section 173.315 When the hazard class and division assigned to ``Methylamine, anhydrous'' was changed from Division 2.3 (poisonous gas) to Division 2.1 (flammable gas), RSPA failed to correct the Sec. 173.315 table entry for this material by removing Notes 22 and 24. The table entry is being corrected in this final rule. Sections 173.316 and 173.318 RSPA proposed the addition of a requirement for mixtures of cryogenic liquids, where charging requirements are not specifically prescribed, to be shipped in packagings approved by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. A commenter expressed confusion as to whether this proposal would eliminate the need for DOT Exemption DOT-E-10001. RSPA is revising the proposed provisions in paragraphs (d) and (f)(4) of Secs. 173.316 and 173.318, respectively, to clarify that an approval, rather than an exemption, is needed. Appendix E and Appendix F As proposed, the guidelines for classification and packing group assignment for Classes 4 and 5 are#
Passage 30removed. RSPA believes the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria is a more appropriate reference for these test methods. The NPRM stated that by removing Appendix E and F, RSPA will decrease the number of amendments to the HMR necessary for consistency with the UN Manual and will reduce the number of pages in the HMR. One commenter objected to this proposal, claiming potential difficulty and expense in obtaining copies of the most current version of the UN Test Manual. RSPA does not agree. A copy of the current test manual is part of the HM-215B public record maintained by RSPA's Dockets Unit. Upon request to the RSPA Dockets Unit (202-366-5046), RSPA will reproduce and provide pertinent pages from the most current UN Test Manual. Section 175.10 Paragraph (a)(22) is revised to allow mercury thermometers (in addition to mercury barometers) to be carried in carry-on baggage by a representative of a government weather bureau or similar official agency, provided the individual advises the aircraft operator of its presence in the baggage.#
Passage 31Section 176.78 Paragraph (k), which pertains to stowage of power-operated industrial trucks on board a vessel, is revised to correspond to proposed revisions in Sec. 176.905. Section 176.84 A new code 17 is added to prescribe segregation for a compressed or liquefied gas which is toxic, flammable and corrosive. Section 176.905 RSPA is revising requirements for transporting motor vehicles or mechanical equipment powered by internal combustion engines by vessel to take account of recent changes which have occurred in the IMDG Code and in response to comments received to the NPRM and during public outreach meetings. In Amendment 27 of the Code, the proper shipping name ``Engines, Internal Combustion'', UN3166, was added in order to regulate motor vehicles and other equipment powered by internal combustion engines. However, this proper shipping name was removed and these materials were deregulated in Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code. Although RSPA did not propose total relief for the transport of motor vehicles by vessel, it proposed modifying the vessel carriage provisions to allow battery cables to remain connected in transport and allow vehicles transported on roll-on roll-off ships to be transported without being subject to the HMR. Additionally, revised transport provisions for vehicles fueled with compressed gas and for certain battery-powered vehicles were proposed to provide clarity. One commenter suggested that RSPA remove this section from the HMR and provide total relief for the transport of mechanical equipment powered by internal combustion engine by vessel. RSPA believes that total relief would not be in the best interest of safety and that certain precautions which minimize the potential for hazardous materials incidents involving internal combustion-powered vehicles and equipment are warranted. Another commenter recommended that the motor vehicle carriage requirements in this section be adopted in the IMDG Code to alleviate the safety and practical problems that could arise with the deregulation of motor vehicles in Amendment 28 of the Code. Work at the International Maritime Organization to amend the IMDG Code is beyond the scope of this rulemaking. The commenter also noted that to require the fuel tank to be no more than one-fourth full is somewhat arbitrary and can be eliminated with an inspection for leaks prior to loading. RSPA does not agree.#
Passage 32The purpose of the quarter tank requirement is to limit the amount of flammable vapors which would collect in an enclosed space such as a freight container should a fuel leak occur. Although fuel tanks sizes vary, RSPA believes that limiting the fuel present in a vehicle's tank is a valuable safety measure necessary to alleviate the hazard of an undetected leak during long ocean voyages. Therefore, the proposed requirement will remain unchanged. Finally, this commenter noted that paragraph (f) requires a fire extinguishing system capable of alerting personnel on the bridge of a ship, which should apply instead to the smoke or fire detection system discussed in paragraph (g). RSPA agrees and is revising this provision accordingly. Several provisions are added to incorporate transport safety measures included in recently issued motor vehicle exemptions that now allow transport of motor vehicles with batteries connected. These provisions include a requirement for an inspection of the vehicle's battery and associated equipment prior to loading and requiring the removal of a vehicle's ignition key.#
Passage 33Section 178.511 This section is amended to adopt requirements for aluminum jerricans consistent with the UN Recommendations. Packaging codes 3B1 and 3B2 are added. Paragraph (b) is amended to incorporate construction requirements for aluminum jerricans consistent with the UN Recommendations. Section 178.703 In paragraph (b)(6), requirements for marking inner receptacles of 31HZ2 composite IBCs are added. All inner receptacles must be marked with the code number designating the intermediate bulk container design type, the name or symbol of the manufacturer, the date of manufacture and the country authorizing the allocation of the mark. In addition, where the outer casing of a 31HZ2 IBC could be dismantled, each of the detachable parts must be marked with the month and year of manufacture and the name or symbol of the manufacturer. Section 178.707 In paragraph (c)(2), a new requirement is added to indicate that the outer packaging of 31HZ2 composite IBCs must enclose the inner receptacles on all sides. In paragraph (c)(3) a new requirement is added to indicate that inner receptacles of 31HZ2 composite IBCs must consist of at least three plies of film. In paragraph (c)(6), a new requirement is added to indicate that IBCs of type 31HZ2 must be limited to a capacity of not more than 1250 liters. Section 178.815 In paragraph (c)(3), the words ``which bear the stacking load'' are added to clarify that rigid plastic IBCs and composite IBCs with plastic outer packagings must be tested for 28 days at 40 deg.C (104 deg.F) when the plastic outer packagings bear the stacking load. IBCs with plastic outer packagings that are designed with metal corner posts to bear the stacking load are not required to be tested for 28 days at 40 deg.C (104 deg.F), but must be subjected to the stacking test for 24 hours. A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. The rule is not considered a significant rule under the Regulatory Policies and#
Passage 34Procedures of the Department of Transportation [44 FR 11034]. The economic impact of this final rule is expected to result in only minimal costs to certain persons subject to the HMR and may result in modest cost savings to a small number of persons subject to the HMR and to the agency. Most of the revised requirements adopted in this rulemaking received industry-association support before the United Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Of the comments received in this docket, few dealt with increased costs of compliance. Nevertheless, RSPA believes it adequately addressed the concerns of commenters focused on increased costs of compliance through its adoption of a five-year extended compliance period pertaining to package marking requirements. Because of the minimal economic impact of this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact analysis or a regulatory evaluation is not warranted.#
Passage 35This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 (``Federalism''). Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5701-5127, contains an express preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) that preempts State, local, and Indian tribe requirements on certain covered subjects. Covered subjects are: (1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous material; (2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and placarding of hazardous material; (3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents related to hazardous material and requirements related to the number, contents, and placement of those documents; (4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or (5) The design, manufacturing, fabricating, marking, maintenance, reconditioning, repairing, or testing of a packaging or container represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in transporting hazardous material. This final rule addresses covered subjects under items (1), (2), (3), and (5) above and, if adopted as final, would preempt State, local, or Indian tribe requirements not meeting the ``substantively the same'' standard. Federal hazardous materials transportation law provides at Sec. 5125(b)(2) that if DOT issues a regulation concerning any of the covered subjects DOT must determine and publish in the Federal Register the effective date of Federal preemption. The effective date may not be earlier than the 90th day following the date of issuance of the final rule and not later than two years after the date of issuance. RSPA has determined that the effective date of Federal preemption for these requirements will be [insert date 180 days after issuance of final rule] under this docket. Thus, RSPA lacks discretion in this area, and preparation of a federalism assessment is not warranted.#
Passage 36This final rule incorporates changes adopted in the ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, the 1997-98 ICAO Technical Instructions, and Amendment 28 to the IMDG Code. It applies to offerors and carriers of hazardous materials and facilitates the transportation of hazardous materials in international commerce by providing consistency with international requirements. This final rule will affect small business entities that ship or transport hazardous materials, but any adverse economic impact should be minimal. Certain costs incurred through changes to hazard communication and classification requirements will be minimized through a lengthy optional compliance period, which will allow a sufficient phase-in period to implement new provisions and deplete current inventory affected by the new requirements. If changes already incorporated in international standards are not adopted in this final rule, U.S. companies, including numerous small entities competing in foreign markets, will be at an economic disadvantage by being forced to comply with a dual system of regulation. Based on readily available information concerning the size and nature of entities likely affected by this final rule, I certify this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. The requirements for information collection have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under OMB control numbers 2137-0034 for shipping papers and 2137-0557 for approvals. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no person is required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. A regulation identifier number (RIN) is assigned to each regulatory action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. The Regulatory Information Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in April and October of each year. The RIN number contained in the heading of this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the Unified Agenda.

During the transition period provided in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, a person may elect to comply with either the applicable requirements of this subchapter in effect on September 30, 1997, or the requirements of this subchapter in the May 6, 1997 final rule, in effect on October 1, 1997. (1) Transition date. On October 1, 1998, all applicable regulatory requirements adopted in the May 6, 1997 final rule in effect on October 1, 1997 must be met. (2) Intermixing old and new requirements. Prior to the transition date in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, it is recommended that the hazard communication requirements be consistent where practicable, i.e., marking, labeling, placarding, and shipping paper descriptions should conform to either the old requirements of this subchapter in effect on September 30, 1997, or new requirements of this subchapter in the May 6, 1997 rule, in effect on October 1, 1997, without intermixing of communication elements. However, intermixing is permitted, during the applicable transition period, for packaging, hazard communication, and handling provisions, as follows: (i) If either shipping names or identification numbers are identical, a shipping paper may display the old shipping description even if the package is marked and labeled under the new shipping description; (ii) If either shipping names or identification numbers are identical, a shipping paper may display the new shipping description even if the package is marked and labeled under the old shipping description; and (iii) Either old or new placards may be used regardless of whether old or new shipping descriptions and package markings are used.

Section 173.60 is revised to read as follows: Sec. 173.60 General packaging requirements for explosives. (a) Unless otherwise provided in this subpart and in Sec. 173.7(a), packaging used for Class 1 (explosives) materials must meet Packing Group II requirements. Each packaging used for an explosive must be capable of meeting the test requirements of subpart M of part 178 of this subchapter, at the specified level of performance, and the applicable general packaging requirements of paragraph (b) of this section. (b) The general requirements for packaging of explosives are as follows: (1) Nails, staples, and other closure devices, made of metal, having no protective covering may not penetrate to the inside of the outer packaging unless the inner packaging adequately protects the explosive against contact with the metal. (2) The closure device of containers for liquid explosives must provide double protection against leakage, such as a screw cap secured in place with tape.#
Passage 77(3) Inner packagings, fittings, and cushioning materials, and the placing of explosive substances or articles in packages, must be such that the explosive substance is prevented from becoming loose in the outer packaging during transportation. Metallic components of articles must be prevented from making contact with metal packagings. Articles containing explosive substances not enclosed in an outer casing must be separated from each other in order to prevent friction and impact. Padding, trays, partitioning in the inner or outer packaging, molded plastics or receptacles may be used for this purpose. (4) When the packaging includes water that could freeze during transportation, a sufficient amount of anti-freeze, such as denatured ethyl alcohol, must be added to the water to prevent freezing. If the anti-freeze creates a fire hazard, it may not be used. When a percentage of water in the substance is specified, the combined weight of water and anti-freeze may be substituted. (5) If an article is fitted with its own means of ignition or initiation, it must be effectively protected from accidental actuation during normal conditions of transportation. (6) The entry of explosive substances into the recesses of double- seamed metal packagings must be prevented. (7) The closure device of a metal drum must include a suitable gasket; if the closure device includes metal-to-metal screw-threads, the ingress of explosive substances into the threading must be prevented. (8) Whenever loose explosive substances or the explosive substance of an uncased or partly cased article may come into contact with the inner surface of metal packagings (1A2, 1B2, 4A, 4B and metal receptacles), the metal packaging should be provided with an inner liner or coating. (9) Packagings must be made of materials compatible with, and impermeable to, the explosives contained in the package, so that neither interaction between the explosives and the packaging materials, nor leakage, causes the explosive to become unsafe in transportation, or the hazard division or compatibility group to change (see Sec. 173.24(e)(2)). (10) An explosive article containing an electrical means of initiation that is sensitive to external electromagnetic radiation, must have its means of initiation effectively protected from electromagnetic radiation sources (for example, radar or radio transmitters) through either desi#
Passage 78gn of the packaging or of the article, or both. (11) Plastic packagings may not be able to generate or accumulate sufficient static electricity to cause the packaged explosive substances or articles to initiate, ignite or inadvertently function. Metal packagings must be compatible with the explosive substance they contain. (12) Explosive substances may not be packed in inner or outer packagings where the differences in internal and external pressures, due to thermal or other effects, could cause an explosion or rupture of the package. (13) Packagings for water soluble substances must be water resistant. Packagings for desensitized or phlegmatized substances must be closed to prevent changes in concentration during transport. When containing less alcohol, water, or phlegmatizer than specified in its proper shipping description, the substance is a ``forbidden'' material. 29. Section 173.62 is revised to read as follows: Sec. 173.62 Specific packaging requirements for explosives. (a) Except as provided in paragraph (e) of this section, when the Sec. 172.101 Table specifies that an explosive must be packaged in accordance with this section, only non-bulk packagings which conform to the provisions of paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of this section and the applicable requirements in Secs. 173.60 and 173.61 may be used unless otherwise approved by the Associate Administrator. Intermediate bulk packagings may be used for explosives assigned to Packing Instruction 117 in paragraph (b) of this section. Intermediate bulk packagings must conform with the requirements of this subchapter. (b) Explosives Table. The Explosives Table specifies the Packing Instructions assigned to each explosive. Explosives are identified in the first column in numerical sequence by their identification number (ID #), which is listed in column 4 of the Sec. 172.101 Table, of this subchapter. The second column of the Explosives Table specifies the Packing Instruction (PI) which must be used for packaging the explosive. The Explosives Packing Method Table in paragraph (c) of this section defines the methods of packaging. The Packing Instructions are identified using a 3 digit designation. The Packing Instruction prefixed by the letters ``US'' is particular to the United States and not found in applicable international regulations.#

Section 173.127 is revised to read as follows: Sec. 173.127 Class 5, Division 5.1--Definition and assignment of packing groups.#
Passage 108(a) Definition. For the purpose of this subchapter, oxidizer (Division 5.1) means a material that may, generally by yielding oxygen, cause or enhance the combustion of other materials. (1) A solid material is classed as a Division 5.1 material if, when tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, its mean burning time is less than or equal to the burning time of a 3:7 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture. (2) A liquid material is classed as a Division 5.1 material if, when tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, it spontaneously ignites or its mean time for a pressure rise from 690 kPa to 2070 kPa gauge is less then the time of a 1:1 nitric acid (65 percent)/cellulose mixture. (b) Assignment of packing groups. (1) The packing group of a Division 5.1 material which is a solid shall be assigned using the following criteria: (i) Packing Group I, for any material which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than the mean burning time of a 3:2 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture. (ii) Packing Group II, for any material which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal to the mean burning time of a 2:3 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I are not met. (iii) Packing Group III for any material which, in either concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal to the mean burning time of a 3:7 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I and II are not met. (2) The packing group of a Division 5.1 material which is a liquid shall be assigned using the following criteria: (i) Packing Group I for: (A) Any material which spontaneously ignites when mixed with cellulose in a 1:1 ratio; or (B) Any material which exhibits a mean pressure rise time less than the pressure rise time of a 1:1 perchloric acid (50 percent)/cellulose mixture. (ii) Packing Group II, any material which exhibits a mean pressure rise time less than or equal to the pressure rise time of a 1:1 aqueous sodium chlorate solution (40 percent)/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I are not met. (iii) Packing Group III, any material which exhibits a mean pressure rise time less than or equal to the pressure rise time of a 1:1 nitric acid (65 percent)/cellulose mixture and the criteria for Packing Group I and#

A liquid substance should be tested if a mist is likely to be generated in a leakage of the transport containment. In carrying out the test both for solid and liquid substances, more than 90% (by mass) of a specimen prepared for inhalation toxicity testing must be in the respirable range as defined in this paragraph (b)(3)(iii). (c) For purposes of classifying and assigning packing groups to mixtures possessing oral or dermal toxicity hazards according to the criteria in Sec. 173.133(a)(1), it is necessary to determine the acute LD50 of the mixture. If a mixture contains more than one active constituent, one of the following methods may be used to determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture: (1) Obtain reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the actual mixture to be transported; (2) If reliable, accurate data is not available, classify the formulation according to the most hazardous constituent of the mixture as if that constituent were present in the same concentration as the total concentration of all active constituents; or (3) If reliable, accurate data is not available, apply the formula: [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06MY97.000 C = the % concentration of constituent A, B ... Z in the mixture; T = the oral LD50 values of constituent A, B ... Z; TM = the oral LD50 value of the mixture.#
Passage 110Note to formula in paragraph (c)(3): This formula also may be used for dermal toxicities provided that this information is available on the same species for all constituents. The use of this formula does not take into account any potentiation or protective phenomena. * * * * * 36.
