Passage 2SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: RSPA received general requests for clarification concerning the size and placement of the marking required by Sec. 171.5(b) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR parts 171-180). This temporary marking requirement was adopted in an interim final rule (IFR) published in the Federal Register on February 19, 1997 [62 FR 7638]. The marking dimensions specified in the IFR are the minimum acceptable size markings. It is permissible to make the marking proportionally larger. Also, in the IFR, RSPA did not indicate the exact location for placing this marking on the cargo tank. On February 21, 1997, RSPA responded to a request for clarification from the National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc. by stating that the marking should be placed at or near a tank's specification plate. In the IFR, RSPA announced that two public workshops would be held in Washington, DC. The first workshop was held on March 4-5, 1997. It served as a forum for exchange of information and ideas concerning emergency discharge control systems on cargo tanks. The second workshop, now scheduled for April 16-17, 1997, will focus on review of prototype designs for proposed product discharge control systems, and a review of research and development actions initiated by industry to meet the requirements specified in the HMR. Issued in Washington, DC, on March 31, 1997. Alan I. Roberts, Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. [FR Doc. 97-8612 Filed 4-3-97; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4910-60-P#
