Harmonization With the United NationsRecommendations, InternationalMaritime Dangerous Goods Code, andInternational Civil AviationOrganization’s Technical Instructions

AGENCY: Research and Special ProgramsAdministration (RSPA), DOT.ACTION: Final rule.

SUMMARY: This final rule consolidatesDocket HM–215C and HM–217(‘‘Labeling Requirements for PoisonousMaterials’’). RSPA is amending theHazardous Materials Regulations (HMR)to maintain alignment withinternational standards by incorporatingnumerous changes to proper shippingnames, hazard classes, packing groups,special provisions, packagingauthorizations, air transport quantitylimitations and vessel stowagerequirements. In addition, RSPA ismaking other amendments to the HMR,including eliminating the ‘‘Keep AwayFrom Food’’ label for poisonousmaterials in Division 6.1, Packing GroupIII. Because of recent changes to theInternational Maritime DangerousGoods Code (IMDG Code), theInternational Civil AviationOrganization’s Technical Instructionsfor the Safe Transport of DangerousGoods by Air (ICAO TechnicalInstructions), and the United NationsRecommendations on the Transport ofDangerous Goods (UNRecommendations), these revisions arenecessary to facilitate the transport ofhazardous materials in internationalcommerce.DATES: Effective Date: October 1, 1999.

Voluntary Compliance Date: RSPA isauthorizing immediate voluntarycompliance, with the exception of theprovisions contained in § 173.301(i).Persons voluntarily complying withthese regulations should be aware thatpetitions for reconsideration may bereceived and, as a result of RSPA’sevaluation of those petitions, theamendments adopted in this final rulecould be subject to further revision.

Delayed Compliance Date: Unlessotherwise specified, compliance withthe amendments adopted in this finalrule is required beginning on October 1,2000.

Incorporation by Reference Date: Theincorporation by reference ofpublications listed in this final rule hasbeen approved by the Director of theFederal Register as of October 1, 1999.FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: BobRichard, Assistant InternationalStandards Coordinator, telephone (202)366–0656, or Joan McIntyre, Office ofHazardous Materials Standards,telephone (202) 366–8553, Research andSpecial Programs Administration, U.S.Department of Transportation, 400Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, D.C.20590–0001.SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

This final rule consolidates tworulemakings; Docket HM–215C,‘‘Harmonization with the UNRecommendations, IMDG Code andICAO Technical Instructions’’ and theprevious Docket HM–217, ‘‘LabelingRequirements for Poisonous Materials.’’By publication of Docket HM–215Cnotice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)[63 FR 44312], Docket HM–217 wasterminated as a separate rulemakingaction.

II. Background

On December 21, 1990, RSPApublished a final rule [Docket HM–181;55 FR 52402] which comprehensivelyrevised the Hazardous MaterialsRegulations (HMR), 49 CFR Parts 171 to180, with respect to hazardcommunication, classification, andpackaging requirements, based on theUN Recommendations. One intendedeffect of the rule was to facilitate theinternational transportation ofhazardous materials by ensuring a basicconsistency between the HMR andinternational regulations.

The UN Recommendations are notregulations, but are recommendationsissued by the UN Committee of Expertson the Transport of Dangerous Goods.These recommendations are amendedand updated biennially by the UNCommittee of Experts and aredistributed to nations throughout theworld. They serve as the basis fornational, regional, and internationalmodal regulations (specifically theIMDG Code, issued by the InternationalMaritime Organization (IMO), and theICAO Technical Instructions, issued bythe ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel). In 49CFR 171.12, the HMR authorizehazardous materials shipments preparedin accordance with the IMDG Code if allor part of the transportation is by vessel,subject to certain conditions andlimitations. Offering, accepting andtransporting hazardous materials by

aircraft, in compliance with the ICAOTechnical Instructions, and by motorvehicle either before or after beingtransported by aircraft, are authorized in§ 171.11 (subject to certain conditionsand limitations).

On December 29, 1994, RSPApublished a final rule [Docket HM–215A; 59 FR 67390] amending the HMRby incorporating changes to more fullyalign the HMR with the seventh andeighth revised editions of the UNRecommendations, Amendment 27 tothe IMDG Code and the 1995–96 ICAOTechnical Instructions. The final ruleprovided consistency with internationalair and sea transportation requirementswhich became effective January 1, 1995.

On May 6, 1997, RSPA published afinal rule [Docket HM–215B; 62 FR24690] amending the HMR byincorporating changes to more fullyalign the HMR with the ninth revisededition of the UN Recommendations,Amendment 28 to the IMDG Code andthe 1997–1998 ICAO TechnicalInstructions. The final rule providedconsistency with international air andsea transportation requirements whichbecame effective January 1, 1997.

In a final rule published October 29,1998 (Docket HM–215C; 63 FR 57929),RSPA incorporated by reference thelatest editions of the ICAO TechnicalInstructions and the IMDG Code into theHMR. This action ensured thatinternational shippers could begincomplying with changes to internationalair and vessel standards, which becomeeffective on January 1, 1999, in theevent that this final rule was notpublished by that date. In addition, theOctober 29, 1998 final rule amended ashipping paper requirement for the useof the ICAO Technical Instructions.

This final rule amends the HMR basedon the tenth revised edition of the UNRecommendations, the 1999–2000 ICAOTechnical Instructions, and Amendment29 to the IMDG Code with the intent tomore fully align the HMR withinternational air and sea transportrequirements which became effectiveJanuary 1, 1999. Petitions forrulemaking pertinent to harmonizationwith international standards and thefacilitation of internationaltransportation were also considered andare the basis of certain changesincorporated in this final rule. Otherchanges are based on feedback from theregulated industry and RSPA initiatives.

III. Summary and OverviewOn August 18, 1998, RSPA published

an NPRM (Docket HM–215C; 63 FR44312) to continue its efforts to facilitatethe transport of hazardous materials ininternational commerce. RSPA received

approximately 30 comments in responseto the NPRM. These comments weresubmitted by industry associationsrepresenting chemical manufacturersand distributors and packagingmanufacturers and reconditioners.Comments were also submitted from agas strut manufacturer, a batterymanufacturer, a chemical manufacturer,a paint manufacturer and distributor,and Transport Canada. Commentersexpressed support of RSPA’s effort toalign the HMR with internationalstandards to provide consistency andfacilitate the internationaltransportation of hazardous materials.The majority of commenters supportedvarious proposals, but somecommenters raised concerns andrecommended alternative amendmentsto certain proposals which are discussedin Section IV of this final rule. Somecommenters suggested amendmentswhich are beyond the scope of this finalrule and must first be subject to anNPRM to provide adequate opportunityfor notice and comments. These issuesmay be addressed in separaterulemakings.

Amendments to the HMR containedin this final rule include:—Addition of a new approval provision

to allow use of recycled plasticsmaterial for the manufacturing ofplastic drums and jerricans.

—Amendments to the HazardousMaterials Table (HMT) which add,revise or remove certain propershipping names, hazard classes,packing groups, special provisions,including portable tank requirements,packaging authorizations, bulkpackaging requirements, andpassenger and cargo aircraftmaximum quantity limitations.

—Amendments to the List of MarinePollutants which remove, revise andadd certain entries.

—Amendments to remove, revise andadd certain special provisions,including one new special provisionto deregulate cotton under specificconditions.

—Amendment of the n.o.s. and genericproper shipping names which arerequired to be supplemented withtechnical names in association withthe basic description.

—Incorporation of provisionsauthorizing the reconditioning ofpackagings other than metal drums.

—Incorporation of four new shippingdescriptions to more clearly describeinternal combustion engines andvehicles powered by flammable liquidand flammable gas fuels.

—Elimination of the KEEP AWAYFROM FOOD label for poisonous

materials in Division 6.1, PackingGroup III. Requiring the use of aPOISON or TOXIC label onpackagings containing materialsmeeting the toxicity criteria forpoisonous materials in Division 6.1,Packing Group III. Allowing optionaltext on, or adjacent to, the POISON orTOXIC label to read ‘‘PG III.’’

—Addition of reciprocity provisions forCanadian cylinders.

—Amendment of continuingrequalification requirements forportable tanks and intermediate bulkcontainers (IBCs) which are intendedfor the transport of a single material.

—Addition of requirements for limitedquantity packagings containing fragileinner packagings.

—Incorporation of an exception forcertain shock absorbers, struts, gassprings and shocks and otherautomobile energy absorbing articles.

—Amendment of IBC repair,qualification and maintenancerequirements.

IV. Section-by-Section Summary ofRegulatory Changes

Part 171

Section 171.2. RSPA is amendingparagraph (d)(1) by adding the letters‘‘CTC’’ to the list of specificationindications which may not bemisrepresented according to § 171.2(c).This is necessary as a result of a newprovision in § 173.301(i) authorizing theuse of CTC specification cylindersunder certain conditions.

Section 171.7. RSPA is updating theincorporation by reference for fourAmerican Society of MechanicalEngineers (ASTM) standards, oneAmerican Pyrotechnics Association(APA) standard, one Department ofDefense (DOD) standard, and the UNRecommendations. The ICAO TechnicalInstructions were updated to the 1999–2000 edition and the IMDG Code wasupdated to Amendment 29, in a finalrule, published October 29, 1998[Docket HM–215C; 63 FR 44312] andeffective January 1, 1999. One newincorporation by reference is addedunder the International Organization forStandardization (ISO).

‘‘ASTM D 3278—95 Standard TestMethods for Flash Point of Liquids bySmall Scale (Setaflash) Closed-CupApparatus’’ is updated to the 1996edition. ‘‘ASTM D 56-93 Standard TestMethod for Flash Point by Tag ClosedTester,’’ ‘‘ASTM D 93–94 Standard TestMethod for Flash Point by Pensky-Martens Closed Cup Tester’’ and‘‘ASTM D 3828–93 Standard TestMethod for Flash Point by Small ScaleClosed Tester’’ are updated to the 1997

editions. These updates reflect the latestrevisions to these standards which areused for the classification of Class 3flammable liquids in §§ 173.120 and173.121. ‘‘APA Standard 87–1, Standardfor Construction and Approval forTransportation of Fireworks, Novelties,and Theatrical Pyrotechnics’’ is updatedto the January 23, 1998 version whichbrings the standards up to date withcurrent industry practices. ‘‘DOD TB700–2; NAVSEAINST 8020.8; AFTO11A–1–47; DLAR 8220.1: ExplosivesHazard Classification Procedure’’ isupdated to the January 1998 edition.References to the UN Recommendationsare updated to the tenth revised editionand an incorrect reference to § 172.519is removed in the second column. RSPAreviewed the updated standards andconcluded that no major technicalamendments have been incorporatedinto these standards.

Finally, consistent with the additionof a new special provision for the entry‘‘Cotton,’’ NA1365, ‘‘ISO 8115, CottonBales—Dimensions and Density, 1986Edition’’ is added to the table ofmaterial incorporated by reference. (Seethe amendments to the HazardousMaterials Table.)

Section 171.8. The text for the‘‘N.O.S.’’ definition is revised to reflectthe changes in this final rule regardingthe addition of a new symbol to specifythe n.o.s. and generic proper shippingnames which are required to besupplemented with a technical name.(See the preamble discussion under§§ 172.101(b) and 172.203(k)(3)).

Sections 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a.Paragraphs (d)(14), (b)(17) and (b)(16) of§§ 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a,respectively, are revised for consistencywith § 173.306(a)(1) which providescertain exceptions for limited quantitiesof compressed gases in containers of notmore than four fluid ounces.

Section 171.12a. The amendmentsproposed to this section in the NPRMproviding for reciprocity for certainCanadian specification cylinders to betransported within the U.S. will beincorporated into § 173.301(i). Seepreamble discussion under § 173.301.

Section 171.14. Paragraph (d) isrevised to provide a delayedimplementation date for amendmentsadopted in this final rule. The effectivedate of the final rule is October 1, 1999.However, RSPA is authorizing animmediate voluntary compliance date toallow shippers to prepare theirshipments in accordance with the newICAO, IMDG Code and HMR provisions.RSPA is also authorizing a delayedmandatory compliance date with thenew requirements until October 1, 2000.This delay offers a sufficient phase-in

period to implement new provisionsand deplete current stocks of shippingpapers, labels, placards and packagingsaffected by the new requirements. Inaddition, paragraph (d)(2) permitsintermixing of old and new hazardcommunication requirements untilOctober 1, 2000. As stated in the NPRM,based on its own initiative andcomments provided in petitions, RSPAis extending a delayed implementationperiod for use of the POISON label forDivision 6.1, Packing Group III materialsand allowing continued use of the KEEPAWAY FROM FOOD label until October1, 2003.

Part 172Section 172.101. RSPA received

favorable comments for including theaddition of a new symbol to § 172.101(b)and the Hazardous Materials Table(HMT) to denote the n.o.s. and genericproper shipping names which arerequired to be supplemented with thetechnical name of the hazardousmaterial (in parentheses and inassociation with the basic description).In the NPRM, RSPA proposed using theasterisk (*) as the new symbol. It hassince been brought to RSPA’s attentionthat the asterisk symbol poses a problemfor computer searches. Therefore, in thisfinal rule, RSPA is replacing the asterisksymbol with the letter ‘‘G’’ to identifyn.o.s. and generic proper shippingnames which must meet the technicalname requirement. Previously, theseproper shipping names were listed in§ 172.203(k)(3). The change is adoptedin this final rule to simplify andimprove the use of the HMR. As a resultof the change, § 172.203(k)(3) isremoved. In addition, approximately 19new proper shipping names are addedto be required to be supplemented witha technical name. The technical namerequirement for these entries areconsistent with the UNRecommendations. As discussed in theNPRM, certain proper shipping namesare currently required to besupplemented with a technical name inthe UN Recommendations. However, inthe opinion of RSPA, these entries donot warrant a supplemental technicalname. The majority of these arepesticides with proper shipping nameswhich RSPA believes are sufficientlydescriptive. RSPA believes thatrequiring these proper shipping namesto be supplemented with technicalnames adds minimal value foremergency response purposes whileintroducing an unwarranted burden onthe shipper. On this basis, RSPA is notadopting the technical namerequirement for these proper shippingnames. Readers should be aware that

certain n.o.s. and generic propershipping names may be required to besupplemented with technical nameswhen being transported internationally.In addition, based on its own initiative,RSPA is adding or removing certainproper shipping names concerning thetechnical name requirement forconsistency with the tenth revisededition of the UN Recommendations.(See preamble discussion under§ 172.203.)

A commenter stated that the plus (+)sign is not an appropriate symbol todenote materials classified on the basisof human experience because it is usedfor other purposes in the HMR. RSPAdoes not agree with the commenter thatthe plus sign is an inappropriate symboland points out that the plus sign ispresently used in the HMR to indicatematerials classified on the basis ofhuman experience. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to add the plus sign toadditional materials which are classifiedon the basis of human experienceconsistent with the UNRecommendations. RSPA is notconvinced that there would be anybenefit in using a different symbol.

Another commenter expressedconcern that the proposal to add a plussign to Column (1) of the HMT forepichlorohydrin on the basis of humanexperience would cause his companyeconomic hardship. The commenterstated that, if adopted, the classificationwould be fixed for every mixture orsolution containing epichlorohydrin,including very dilute solutions ofepichlorohydrin in water even if themixtures or solutions do not meet thecriteria for hazard classification in theHMR. In response to this comment,RSPA notes that a mixture or solutioncontaining epichlorohydrin where thehazard is significantly different fromthat of the pure material should beevaluated on the basis of classificationcriteria. If such a mixture or solutiondoes not meet the corresponding hazardclass, a different proper shipping namemay be used. Therefore, RSPA isadopting, as proposed, the plus sign forepichlorohydrin and other materialsidentified in the NPRM.

The Hazardous Materials Table(HMT). Amendments to the HMT for thepurpose of harmonizing with the tenthrevised edition of the UNRecommendations include thefollowing:

The plus (+) sign is added to Column1 to fix the proper shipping name,hazard class and packing group for theentries, ‘‘Aminophenols (o-;m-;p-),’’‘‘Chlorodinitrobenzenes,’’‘‘Dichloroanilines, liquid,’’‘‘Dichloroanilines, solid,’’ ‘‘o-

Dichlorobenzene,’’ ‘‘N,N-Diethylaniline,’’ ‘‘Epichlorohydrin,’’‘‘Nitroanilines (o-;m-;p-;),’’‘‘Nitroanisole,’’ ‘‘Nitrobenzene,’’‘‘Nitrophenols (o-;m-;p-;),’’‘‘Phenetidines,’’ ‘‘Phenylenediamines(o-;m-;p-;),’’ ‘‘Toluene diisocyanate,’’‘‘Toluidines, liquid’’ and ‘‘Toluidines,solid.’’ This action aligns the HMR withthe UN Recommendations which useSpecial Provision 279 to indicatematerials which are classified on thebasis of human experience.

Various other changes to the HMTinclude the following:

A number of hazardous materialsproper shipping names are revised,including the deletion of the word‘‘commercial’’ from the entries,‘‘Charges, shaped, commercial, withoutdetonator,’’ (UN 0059, 0439, 0440 and0441), the revision of the entry ‘‘Amylalcohols’’ to ‘‘Pentanols’’ and therevision of the entry ‘‘Dithiocarbamatepesticides, liquid, toxic’’ to‘‘Thiocarbamate pesticide, liquid,toxic.’’

For entries such as ‘‘Aluminumalkyls’’ and ‘‘Sodium nitrite,’’ thesubsidiary risks are revised. Atypographical error in the NPRM’sregulatory text for the entry ‘‘Sodiumnitrite’’ resulted in omitting the primaryhazard and is corrected in this finalrule.

The entries, ‘‘Aviation regulatedliquid, n.o.s.’’ and ‘‘Aviation regulatedsolid, n.o.s.’’ are added for alignmentwith the ICAO Technical Instructionsand the UN Recommendations.

The entry ‘‘Wheel chair, electric’’ isremoved as a proper shipping name andan italicized entry is added to referusers of the HMR to the proper shippingname ‘‘Battery-powered vehicle orBattery-powered equipment.’’ RSPAreceived a comment requesting arevision to § 175.10(a)(20)(iv)(C) whichrequires the packaging to be marked‘‘Battery, wet, with wheelchair’’ andwhich the commenter referred to as aproper shipping name. The commenterstated that the proper shipping name isnot in the HMT. RSPA points out thatin § 175.10(a)(20)(iv)(C), ‘‘Battery, wet,with wheelchair’’ is a marking and nota proper shipping name. On this basis,RSPA has made no changes to§ 175.10(a)(20)(iv)(C).

For materials such as ‘‘Chlorosilanes,corrosive, n.o.s,’’ Column 7 is revised toreflect the alignment of the portabletank assignments with those in the UNRecommendations.

In the NPRM, RSPA proposed torevise the Column (7) special provisionsrelating to portable tanks, for the entry,‘‘Corrosive liquids, toxic, n.o.s.,’’UN2922, for Packing Groups I and II. A

commenter pointed out that therevisions are not consistent with the UNRecommendations. RSPA agrees withthe commenter and is not adopting theproposed revisions.

For the entry, ‘‘Plastic moldingcompounds in dough, sheet or extrudedrope form evolving flammable vapor,’’to correct an error, the non-bulkpackaging authorization reference isrevised to read ‘‘221.’’ In addition,§ 173.221 is amended to authorize bulkpackagings. The packagingauthorization for the entry, ‘‘Polymericbeads, expandable, evolving flammablevapor’’ is revised to read ‘‘221.’’ (Seeadditional preamble discussion under§ 173.221.)

For the entries, ‘‘Batteries, wet, filledwith acid, electric storage’’ and‘‘Batteries, wet, filled with alkali,electric storage’’ RSPA is increasing thepassenger aircraft quantity limitationfrom 25 kg gross mass to 30 kg grossmass. This change is consistent with theamendments to the 1999–2000 editionof the ICAO Technical Instructions.

In response to a petition forrulemaking (P–1316), RSPA proposedthat baled cotton not meeting thecriteria of any hazard class would beexcepted from the requirements of theHMR under certain conditions. In thisfinal rule, RSPA is adding a new specialprovision for NA1365, ‘‘Cotton’’ (dry), toexclude it from the HMR when it isbaled in accordance with ISO 8115,‘‘Cotton Bales—Dimensions andDensity’’ to a density of at least 360 kg/m 3 (22.4lb/ft 3) and it is transported ina freight container or closed transportvehicle. This action is consistent with adecision taken by the IMO and asubsequent competent authorityapproval issued by RSPA.

As proposed in the NPRM, based onits own initiative, RSPA is adding a newentry, ‘‘Dangerous goods in machineryor Dangerous goods in apparatus’’ to theHMT. The proper shipping name isassigned identification number,NA8001, and Special Provision 136 isadded for directions on classassignment. As stated in the NPRM, thisentry was adopted in the ICAOTechnical Instructions to provide anexception from the UN packagingperformance tests for equipment,machinery or apparatus containingsmall quantities of hazardous materials.RSPA believes this entry is useful fortransport by all modes of transportationand provides a more practical means ofdescribing machinery or apparatus,containing small quantities of hazardousmaterials, when the machinery orapparatus is not specifically listed in theHMT. A commenter suggested that theproper shipping name be given a Class

9 assignment. RSPA agrees with thecommenter. RSPA proposed to the UNCommittee of Experts that a UN numberand proper shipping name be providedand that Class 9 be assigned. Followingthe Committee’s response, RSPA willaddress this issue in a futurerulemaking.

A commenter requested that RSPAnot adopt the proposed change for theentry, ‘‘Chloropicrin.’’ In the NPRM,RSPA proposed to change the non-bulkpackaging authorization cite in Column(8B) from § 173.227 to § 173.193. Theproposed change was in error and RSPAis not adopting this change.

Concerning the new entry,‘‘Nitroglycerin mixture, desensitized,liquid, flammable, n.o.s.,’’ UN3343,RSPA received a comment questioningthe impact that the new entry wouldhave on existing competent authorityapprovals. These competent authorityapprovals provide for these materials tobe described as ‘‘Flammable liquids,n.o.s.,’’ UN1993. The commenter askedRSPA to consider ‘‘grandfathering theexisting approvals in the final rule.’’ Itis RSPA’s position that to reflect thenew shipping description, theseapprovals can be updated upon arequest from the approval holders.RSPA believes that the transitionperiods adopted in this final rule willprovide sufficient time for processingupdated approvals in order to avoid anypotential inconvenience on the part ofapproval holders.

The Vessel Operators HazardousMaterials Association (VOHMA)requested that RSPA consider includingthe alpha-numeric special provisionscorresponding to the codes in § 176.84for materials identifed as requiringstowage ‘‘away from’’ foodstuffs or‘‘separated from’’ foodstuffs. VOHMAstated that this action would provideconsistent identification of the materialsfor proper stowage and segregationwhen being transported by vessel. RSPAbelieves VOHMA’s request has meritand will consider it in a future NPRMto afford the public the opportunity toprovide comments.

Readers should be aware that forcertain entries in the HMT, such asthose with revised proper shippingnames, the change may appear as aremoval and addition. Readers shouldreview all changes appearing in the§ 172.101 HMT for a complete view ofthe changes.

Appendix B to § 172.101. A number ofmaterials are added, removed oramended in the HMR’s List of MarinePollutants. The amendments areconsistent with the marine pollutantsidentified in Amendment 29 to theIMDG Code. One entry, ‘‘Nitrates,

inorganic, n.o.s.,’’ which wasmistakenly referred to in the NPRM’spreamble as being proposed for removal,was actually removed from the marinepollutant list in an earlier final rulepublished under Docket HM–215B (May6, 1997; 62 FR 24743).

Section 172.102. Eleven new specialprovisions are added and one isremoved for consistency with the tenthrevised edition of the UNRecommendations; three obsoletespecial provisions are removed; and twoare editorially revised as follows:

Special Provision 43 is amended byadding an exception for certainnitrocellulose membrane filters. Theexception is consistent with the 1999–2000 edition of the ICAO TechnicalInstructions.

Special Provision 125 is revised tocorrect an editorial error for thepercentages of phlegmatizers inmixtures.

A new special provision 129 isassigned to the new entry,‘‘Nitroglycerin mixture, desensitized,liquid, flammable, n.o.s. with not morethan 30% nitroglycerin, by mass’’ torequire that the material’s classification,transportation, packing groupassignment and packaging must beapproved by the AssociateAdministrator for Hazardous MaterialsSafety.

A new special provision 130 is addedfor the entry, ‘‘Battery, dry, not subjectto the requirements of this subchapter’’to identify conditions that must be metbefore the material may be exceptedfrom the HMR.

A new special provision 131 isassigned to the new entry, ‘‘Flammablesolid, oxidizing, n.o.s.,’’ (PackingGroups II and III), to prohibit thematerial from being offered fortransportation unless approved by theAssociate Administrator for HazardousMaterials Safety.

A new special provision 132 is addedfor the proper shipping name,‘‘Ammonium nitrate fertilizers,’’UN2071. The special provision allowsthis material to be excepted from therequirements of the HMR provided a UNtrough test (Section 38, UN Manual ofTest and Criteria) demonstrates that thematerial is not liable to self-sustainingdecomposition, and that the materialdoes not contain an excess of nitrategreater than 10% by mass. This materialis only regulated when offered fortransportation by aircraft and vesselmodes.

A new special provision 133 is addedfor the new entry, ‘‘Air bag inflators,compressed gas or Air bag modules,compressed gas or Seat-beltpretensioners, compressed gas,’’ to

clarify which articles should betransported under these shippingdescriptions. The special provisionprovides conditions for packaging anddesign of these articles. In the NPRM,RSPA inadvertently included articlescontaining a Division 2.1 gas for whichauthorization for transportation is beingretained under an exemption. This erroris corrected in this final rule. The airbag and seat-belt pretensionerdescriptions listed in the HMT may beused only for articles that may beexcluded from Class 1.

A new special provision 134 is addedfor the entry ‘‘Battery-powered vehicleor Battery-powered equipment’’ toidentify the entry as being used forbattery-powered equipment or vehicles.

A new special provision 135 is addedfor the new entries, ‘‘Engines, internalcombustion, flammable gas powered,’’‘‘Engines, internal combustion,flammable liquid powered,’’ ‘‘Vehicle,flammable gas powered,’’ and ‘‘Vehicle,flammable liquid powered’’ to indicatethe appropriate shipping description tobe used when internal combustionengines are installed in a vehicle.

A new special provision 136 is addedfor the new entry, ‘‘Dangerous goods inmachinery or Dangerous goods inapparatus.’’ The special provisionclarifies the restrictions and exceptionsfor transporting hazardous materialsunder the new entry. (Also, seepreamble discussion under ‘‘TheHazardous Materials Table.’’)

A new special provision 137 is addedfor the entry, ‘‘Cotton,’’ NA1365. Seepreamble discussion under ‘‘TheHazardous Materials Table (HMT).’’

A new special provision 138 is addedfor the entry, ‘‘Lead compounds,soluble, n.o.s.’’ This special provisionclarifies the definition for soluble leadcompounds.

A new special provision A35 is addedfor the new entries, ‘‘Aviation regulatedliquid, n.o.s.’’ and ‘‘Aviation regulatedsolid, n.o.s.,’’ to clarify that the propershipping names include any substancenot meeting any of the other hazardclasses, but which has certain propertiesthat could cause extreme annoyance ordiscomfort in the event of spillage orleakage aboard aircraft to crew membersso as to prevent their performance ofduties.

Special Provision 17 applies to theentry, ‘‘Hydrogen peroxide, aqueoussolutions with not less than 8 percentbut less than 20 percent hydrogenperoxide (stabilized as necessary).’’Special Provision 17 would be deletedbecause the information it contains isduplicative with the italicized portionof the proper shipping name.

Special Provision 20 is removedbecause it no longer is used for anyentries in the HMT.

Special Provision 104 is removed forconsistency with the UNRecommendations and in response to apetition for rulemaking filed by theInstitute of Makers of Explosives (P–1317).

As proposed in the NPRM and basedon a previous comment received byRSPA, Special Provision B101 iseditorially revised to clarify that whenintermediate bulk containers are used,only those constructed of metal areauthorized.

Special Provision N9 applies to theentry, ‘‘Cotton waste, oily,’’ UN1364.Special Provision N9 is deleted,consistent with the deletion of SpecialProvision 34 in the tenth revised editionof the UN Recommendations.

Section 172.203. In § 172.203,paragraph (k) is revised to reflect thatthe letter ‘‘G’’ in Column (1) of the HMTidentifies n.o.s. and generic propershipping names requiring a technicalname. (See preamble discussion under§ 172.101.)

Section 172.313. A new paragraph (d)is added to reflect that ‘‘PG III’’ may bemarked adjacent to the POISON label asan alternative to displaying the text ‘‘PGIII,’’ instead of ‘‘Poison’’ or ‘‘Toxic,’’below the mid-line of the label. (Seepreamble discussion under §§ 172.400and 172.400a.)

Sections 172.400, 172.400a.For poisonous materials in Division

6.1, Packing Group III, RSPA proposedin the NPRM to eliminate the KEEPAWAY FROM FOOD label and requirethe use of a POISON label on suchpackagings. RSPA also proposed toallow optional text on the POISON labelto read ‘‘PG III,’’ instead of ‘‘POISON’’or ‘‘TOXIC.’’ (Readers should refer tothe NPRM for background information.)RSPA received approximately tencomments regarding this issue.

Some of the commenters hadconcerns about international acceptanceand harmonization of the ‘‘PG III’’ text.Several commenters suggested thatRSPA delay consideration and revisitthe issue in a future rulemaking to allowmore time for comments and to waituntil the international communityadopts the provisions. One commenterrequested that RSPA retain the KEEPAWAY FROM FOOD label as analternate label. Because provisions ininternational regulations permit theinsertion of text indicating the nature ofthe risk, it is RSPA’s opinion that aPOISON label displaying ‘‘PG III’’ astext is acceptable in internationaltransportation. Furthermore, RSPAbelieves that sufficient time for

comment has been offered for commentsand consideration of the provisions.RSPA published an ANPRM onNovember 8, 1993, under Docket HM–217 (58 FR 59224), and published anNPRM on August 18, 1998 NPRM,under Docket HM–215C, addressingchanges to Division 6.1, Packing GroupIII labeling requirements consistent withan amendment incorporated in theeighth revised edition of the UNRecommendations. Two commentersrequested that RSPA consider hazardousmaterials employee training and costimpact when consideringimplementation of the change. RSPAgave consideration to these issues beforepublishing the NPRM, and as explainedin the NPRM, and is providing asufficient phase-in period to implementthe new provisions for training andminimizes any additional costs that maybe incurred.

The Air Line Pilots Association(ALPA) stated its opposition to placingonly the ‘‘PG III’’ marking on thePOISON label. ALPA stated that placingthe ‘‘PG III’’ marking on the labelwithout the ‘‘POISON’’ or ‘‘TOXIC’’ textwould not be understood by hazardousmaterials employees who areperforming loading functions. RSPAdisagrees. Section 172.401(c) allowspackages of hazardous materials bearinglabels which are in conformance withthe UN Recommendations, ICAOTechnical Instructions, IMDG Code andCanadian TDG Regulations, to beshipped in the U.S. These labels do nothave text indicating the hazard, butdisplay pictorial hazard warningsymbols, which are internationallyrecognized.

Most commenters supported analternative label for Packing Group III,however, a few commenters suggestedthat RSPA consider alternatives otherthan the ‘‘PG III’’ text on the POISONlabel, such as a special handling label orthat ‘‘PG III’’ be allowed to be markedadjacent to the POISON label. Afterconsideration of commenters’recommendations, RSPA is adopting therecommendation that a ‘‘PG III’’ markingbe allowed to be displayed adjacent tothe POISON label as suggested by thesecommenters. The segregationrequirements of §§ 174.680(b),176.600(c) and 177.841(e)(3) are revisedto reflect this change.

In conclusion, RSPA is eliminatingthe KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD label,requiring the use of a POISON label onsuch packagings, and allowing ‘‘PG III’’as optional text on the POISON label oras a marking adjacent to the label.

Section 172.405. Paragraph (f)(10) in172.405 is revised to reflect that a labelfor a Division 6.1 Packing Group III

material may be modified to display thetext ‘‘PG III’’ instead of ‘‘POISON’’ or‘‘TOXIC,’’ below the mid-line of thelabel. Alternatively, ‘‘PG III’’ may bemarked adjacent to the label asauthorized by § 172.313. (See also,§§ 174.680, 176.600 and 177.841.)

Section 172.407. The table inparagraph (b) is revised to add thelettering size requirements forSPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTIBLEand DANGEROUS WHEN WET labels.

Section 172.431. This section isremoved and reserved, thereby deletingthe specifications for the KEEP AWAYFROM FOOD label.

Section 172.504. Consistent with thechanges in §§ 172.400, 172.400a,172.405 and 172.407, in the paragraph(e) Table 2, the entry for Division 6.1,Packing Group III is removed and theentry for Division 6.1, Packing Group Ior II, other than Zone A or B inhalationhazard is revised. Paragraph (f)(10) isrevised to reflect that a placard forDivision 6.1, PG III material may bemodified to display the text ‘‘PG III’’below the mid-line of the placard oradjacent to the POISON label.

Section 172.553. This section isremoved and reserved, in line with§ 172.431, to delete the specificationsfor the KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD label.

Part 173Section 173.1. For uniformity with

other references in the HMR, thereference to the ‘‘Recommendations ofthe United Nations Committee ofExperts on the Transport of DangerousGoods’’ in paragraph (d) is revised toread ‘‘UN Recommendations.’’

Section 173.2a. As proposed in theNPRM, the § 173.2a, paragraph (b)Precedence of Hazard Table is revised toalign it with the UN Recommendations’Precedence of Hazard Table. Consistentwith the UN Recommendations, RSPAis revising two entries to provide for theDivision 4.3, Packing Group II hazardand the Division 5.1, Packing Group IIhazards to take precedence over theClass 8 Packing Group II hazard.

Section 173.25. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to revise paragraph (b) toauthorize shrink-wrapped or stretch-wrapped trays as outer packagings onlyif the inner packagings are not fragile,liable to break or be easily punctured(such as those made of glass, porcelain,stoneware or certain plastics). Severalcommenters stated that they supportedthe proposed change to eliminate therequirement that shrink-wrapped orstretch-wrapped trays conform to the PGIII performance requirements. However,several commenters, including TheHazardous Materials Advisory Council(HMAC) and the National Paint and

Coatings Association (NPCA) expressedconcern with the text ‘‘Inner packagingsare not fragile, liable to break or beeasily punctured’’ and stated that thistext may need further clarification. TheChemical Specialties ManufacturersAssociation (CSMA) stated that the term‘‘certain plastics’’ should be clarified toexplain what is and is not acceptable.None of the commenters offered anysuggested wording. RSPA notes that theproposed text is consistent with the textin the UN Recommendations and that toclarify what is meant by fragilepackagings, including ‘‘certain plastics,’’the proposal identifies examples of suchpackagings (namely, ‘‘such aspackagings made of glass, porcelain,stoneware or certain plastics.’’). RSPAalso notes that the term ‘‘fragile’’ is usedin § 178.601(g)(2)(i) and that its usethere has not posed any significantdifficulties in interpretation. RSPA alsoreceived a request to increase the 20 kggross weight limitation. RSPA willconsider refinements to this text tofurther clarify the meaning of fragilepackaging and for increasing the 20 kggross weight limitation on the basis ofspecific written proposals and mayconsider them for amendment ofinternational and domestic regulationsin a future rulemaking.

Section 173.28. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to revise paragraph (c)(2) andadd a new paragraph (c)(5) to authorizethe reconditioning of packagings otherthan metal drums. RSPA receivedcomments suggesting revisions to clarifythe intent of the paragraph. TheAssociation of Container Reconditioners(ACR) stated that the proposed changesto paragraph (c)(2) do not establish aclear and orderly definition for thereconditioning of non-bulk packages,other than steel drums. HMACrecommended clarification of thewording ‘‘all components.’’ RSPA agreeswith both commenters and isincorporating the recommendededitorial changes into this final rule.This revision is consistent withamendments adopted in the tenthrevised edition of the UNRecommendations.

Section 173.29. In§ 173.29(b)(2)(iv)(B), the referencedabsolute pressure ‘‘less than 276 kPa (40psia); at 21° C (70° F)’’ is corrected toread ‘‘less than 280 kPa (40.6 psia); at20° C (68° F)’’ for consistency with theabsolute pressure reference in§ 173.115(b).

Section 173.32b. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to revise paragraph (b)(1) toallow for the internal inspection of IMportable tanks to be waived orsubstituted by other test methods if aleakproofness test is performed prior to

each filling. One commenter identifiedan analytical method which is used todetermine leakage in Teflon PTFE-linedtanks and requested that it beauthorized. RSPA is familiar with thismethod and has issued an exemption(DOT E–11827) to allow its use in placeof performing the 2.5 year internalinspection. The procedure is verydetailed and does not lend itself toincorporation into the regulations. Tostreamline the process of approvingother acceptable methods, RSPA isproviding an approval provision toallow other alternative procedures whenapproved by the AssociateAdministrator for Hazardous MaterialsSafety.

Section 173.32c. Paragraph (j) isrevised for consistency with the UNRecommendations to allow IM portabletanks which are filled to less than 20%of their capacity, to be offered fortransportation. Also, for consistencywith the UN Recommendations, theprovision excluding non-flowable solidsis broadened to include viscous liquidswith a low flow rate.

Section 173.34. RSPA is amending thetable in paragraph (e) by adding afootnote to indicate that CTCspecification cylinders are subject to theprovisions in § 173.301(i).

Section 173.35. RSPA proposed in theNPRM to eliminate a provisionprohibiting the reuse of fiberboard,wooden and some flexible intermediatebulk containers (IBCs) but to maintain arestriction against the reuse of multiwallpaper flexible IBCs (13M1 and 13M2).

The Association of ContainerReconditioners (ACR) in referring toparagraph (b)(2), stated that if therequired markings are missing, it maynot be possible for a reuser orreconditioner to be sure how to remarkthe IBC. RSPA maintains that it is theresponsibility of the reuser orreconditioner to ensure that the IBC ismarked correctly and if the requiredmarkings are no longer legible andcannot be established, the IBC no longerqualifies as a UN standard packaging.

Another commenter expressedconcern about permitting the reuse ofcorrugated (fiberboard) IBCs withrespect to the degradation of thefiberboard due to reuse. As set forth inparagraph (b), each IBC must be visuallyinspected to ensure it is free fromcorrosion, contamination, cracks orother damage which would render theIBC unsafe for transportation. If the IBChas damage which would render itunsafe for transportation, it is theshipper’s obligation to not reuse theIBC.

Based on the foregoing, RSPA isadopting the changes as proposed. Also

see the preamble discussion in§ 180.352 concerning IBCs.

Section 173.56. In paragraphs (b)(2)(i)and (b)(3)(i), the reference to a DODincorporation by reference document isupdated by removing an outdatededition date. A corresponding changewith the updated edition date is madeunder § 171.7.

Section 173.59. Consistent withamendments adopted in the tenthrevised edition of the UNRecommendations and consequentialamendments to the HMT, the word‘‘commercial’’ is deleted from theproper shipping names, ‘‘Charges,shaped, commercial, without detonator’’appearing in this section.

Section 173.121. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to revise paragraph (b) to alignit with the UN Recommendations basedon a decision taken by the UNCommittee of Experts at its nineteenthsession. Paragraph (b) provides anexception for viscous flammable liquidssuch as paints, enamels, varnishes,adhesives and polishes with a flashpoint of less than 23 °C to be classifiedas PG III materials, provided thematerial does not contain any substancewith a primary or subsidiary risk ofDivision 6.1 or Class 8. In the ninthrevised edition, the UN Committee ofExperts included an exception whichauthorized mixtures containing notmore than 5% of substances in PackingGroup I or Packing Group II of Division6.1 or Class 8, or not more than 5% ofsubstances in Packing Group I of Class3 requiring a Division 6.1 or Class 8subsidiary label to be reclassified in PGIII in the Recommendations. Thisexception was not adopted by ICAO orIMO based in part on proposalssubmitted by RSPA, and has since beenremoved from the UNRecommendations. Although theNational Paint and Coatings Association(NPCA) supports the revision forviscous flammable liquids, NPCAexpressed concern that the text is notconsistent with international standards.Because the UN Recommendationsremoved the exception, the textproposed by RSPA and adopted in thisfinal rule is consistent with the tenthrevised edition of the UNRecommendations, the 1999–2000 ICAOTechnical Instructions and Amendment29 to the IMDG Code. As stated in theNPRM, RSPA believes the amendmentenhances safety while simplifying theclassification provisions in § 173.121.

Section 173.159. In § 173.159(g)(2),RSPA is authorizing additionalpackagings for electrolyte, acid oralkaline corrosive battery fluid includedwith storage batteries and filling kits.RSPA received a petition for rulemaking

(P–1313) which provided datasupporting that the corrosive effect ofbattery fluid on steel is slight and thatsteel drums and steel boxes have astructural integrity that exceeds thepresently authorized plywood andwooden boxes. RSPA agrees with thecommenter and is revising paragraph(g)(2) to read ‘‘strong, rigid outerpackagings’’ to authorize the use of steeldrums and steel boxes. Also, this changeeliminates the need for exemption, DOTE–10989.

A commenter requested that inparagraph (c)(6), the minimum Mullentest strength of corrugated slip covers bereduced from 200 pounds to 125pounds. This request is beyond thescope of this final rule and may beconsidered in a rulemaking in thefuture.

Two commenters recommended thatRSPA amend the HMR to provideadditional information on theapplication of the entry, ‘‘Battery, wet,non-spillable,’’ UN2800, to enhanceconsistency with the ICAO TechnicalInstructions and the IMDG Code.Although the requirements applicablefor non-spillable batteries are currentlyfairly consistent with those in the ICAOTechnical Instructions and the IMDGCode, RSPA agrees that additionalharmonization could be achieved.Considering that the NPRM did notaddress requirements for non-spillablebatteries, RSPA is not adopting thecommenter’s suggestion in this finalrule. RSPA will take this issue intoaccount and consider whether topropose incorporation of such changesinto the HMR in a future NPRM, ordevelop proposals to the UN Committeeof Experts, ICAO or IMO. Personsinterested in proposing amendments tofurther harmonize the requirements fornon-spillable batteries are encouraged toprovide comments to RSPA withspecific recommendations.

Section 173.162. In § 173.162, thepackaging requirements for gallium arerevised to offer shippers a widerselection of packaging alternatives whilemaintaining an adequate level of safety.The revision is consistent with theIMDG Code.

Section 173.164. In § 173.164, inparagraph (a), the limitation forquicksilver flasks of not more than 3.5kg (7.7 pounds) capacity is replacedwith 35 kg (77 pounds). This actioncorrects an editorial error and brings thequantity in line with ICAO. Paragraph(c) is also revised to correct an editorialerror by removing the 100 mg. quantitylimitation for mercury in manufacturedarticles or apparatuses.

Section 173.166. Section 173.166 isrevised for consistency with the new

Division 2.2 entry, ‘‘Air bag inflatorspyrotechnic or Air bag modulespyrotechnic or Seat-Belt pretensionerspyrotechnic.’’ Paragraph (c) is alsorevised to clarify that the EX number orproduct code is required to appear onshipping papers only.

Section 173.196. In § 173.196,paragraph (a)(1)(iii) states that absorbentmaterial must be placed between theprimary receptacle and the secondarypackaging. Consistent with a decisiontaken by the ICAO Dangerous GoodsPanel, absorbent material is onlynecessary for liquid materials. On thisbasis, in § 173.196(a)(1)(iii), the words‘‘When the primary receptacle containsliquids’’ are inserted in the firstsentence before ‘‘An absorbentmaterial’’.

Section 173.220. RSPA is amending§ 173.220 to include requirements forboth liquid and gas fueled vehiclesconsistent with amendments adopted byICAO in Packing Instruction 900 and thefour new shipping descriptions forincorporation in the HMT for internalcombustion engines and vehicles. Foreditorial purposes and clarity, specificrequirements in § 173.306(d) relevant togas powered vehicles and hazardouscomponents installed in vehicles areconsolidated in this section. In addition,based on a comment received from theAir Transport Association, RSPA isallowing self-propelled vehiclesoperated by diesel fuel to be transportedby aircraft without having to drain thetank. This amendment is consistentwith the ICAO Technical Instructions.

Section 173.221. In response to twopetitions for rulemaking (P–1344 and P–1353), RSPA is revising the packagingrequirements for ‘‘Polymeric beads,expandable, evolving flammable vapor’’and ‘‘Plastic molding compound indough, sheet or extruded rope formevolving flammable vapor’’ whileconsolidating the non-bulk and bulkpackaging requirements in § 173.221.The use of bulk packagings areauthorized for ‘‘Plastic moldingcompound in dough, sheet or extrudedrope form evolving flammable vapor.’’

RSPA received a comment to theNPRM from The Composites FabricatorsAssociation requesting that paragraph(a) be revised to include steel racks,metal and plastic crates and shrink-wrap on pallets as non-bulk packagingauthorizations for plastic moldingcompound in dough, sheet or extrudedrope form, evolving flammable vapor,when transported on dedicated vehiclesor freight containers. The commenterreasoned that the non-bulkauthorizations should includepackaging options similar to thoseproposed in the NPRM for bulk

packages in paragraph (b). Thecommenter states that the use of steelracks, metal or plastic crates, andshrink-wrap on pallets have beenutilized safely for non-bulk and bulkpackagings of plastic moldingcompound for decades and theirexclusion from non-bulk authorizationwould place small producers of plasticmolding compound at a disadvantage tolarger producers. RSPA agrees and isrevising this provision accordingly.

The commenter also requested thatthe italicized descriptions from theHMT, (i.e., ‘‘evolving flammable vapor’’and ‘‘in dough, sheet or extruded ropeform evolving flammable vapor’’ forplastic molding compound) be added tothe proper shipping names inparagraphs (a) and (b). The commenterstated that omitting the italicizeddescription may result in confusionamong manufacturers of plastic moldingcompounds that do not evolveflammable vapor. RSPA agrees with thecommenter and is revising paragraphs(a) and (b) to reflect the clarification.

Section 173.222. RSPA is removingthe current provisions appearing in§ 173.222 pertaining to wheelchairstransported in commerce. The removalof these provisions is consistent withthe amendment removing the entry for‘‘Wheel chair, electric’’ in the HMT. Asstated earlier in the preamble discussionto the HMT, an italicized entry is addedto refer users of the HMR to ‘‘Battery-powered vehicle or Battery-poweredequipment,’’ UN3171. ‘‘Battery-poweredvehicle’’ and ‘‘Battery-poweredequipment’’ are the proper shippingnames used in the ICAO TechnicalInstructions, IMDG Code and UNRecommendations for wheel chair,electric. Section 173.222 will containrequirements applicable to the newentry, ‘‘Dangerous goods in machineryor Dangerous Goods in Apparatus.’’These requirements are consistent withthose currently in the ICAO TechnicalInstructions. (Also see preamblediscussion under the HMT.)

Section 173.224. RSPA is adding theword ‘‘product’’ before the word‘‘evaluation’’ in paragraph (c)(3). Thischange clarifies that the exception forsamples applies for purposes ofshipping products for evaluation andnot only for hazard classificationpurposes.

Section 173.225. In paragraph (b), anew organic peroxide formulation isadded to the Organic Peroxides tableconsistent with the tenth revised editionof the UN Recommendations. Variousentries are corrected due totypographical errors. n addition, in linewith the revision in § 173.224(c)(3), theword ‘‘product’’ is inserted before the

word ‘‘evaluation’’ in paragraph (c)(2).In addition, various changes are made tocorrect printing errors.

Section 173.243. RSPA is adding anew paragraph (e)(3) to authorize amaterial with a Class 8 subsidiaryhazard, PG III to be packaged inaccordance with § 173.242. In the IMDGCode, certain dual hazard materials witha subsidiary hazard of Class 8, PG III arepermitted in IBCs, consistent with thosespecified in § 173.242. Section173.242(e) authorizes certain dualhazard materials with subsidiary risks ofClass 3, with a flash point greater than38° C, and Division 6.1, PG III to bepackaged in intermediate bulkcontainers specified in § 173.242.However, this exception is not appliedto dual hazard materials with subsidiaryhazards of Class 8, PG III. RSPA hasissued a number of competent authorityapprovals consistent with theintermediate bulk container assignmentsfor these materials in the IMDG Code,and on this basis, is incorporating thisallowance into the HMR.

Section 173.301. RSPA is revisingparagraph (i) to clarify that non-DOTspecification cylinders which are beingimported into or exported from the U.S.or passing through the U.S., in thecourse of being shipped between placesoutside the U.S., may be offered andaccepted for transportation andtransported by motor vehicle within asingle port area (including contiguousharbors) when packaged, marked,classed, labeled, stowed and segregatedin accordance with the IMDG Code.This exception was not readily apparentin § 173.301(i) which resulted innumerous inquiries by users of theHMR.

This section also is revised to allowuse of Canadian Transport Commission(CTC) specification cylinders fortransportation to, from and within theU.S. In the NPRM, based in part on apetition for rulemaking submitted by theCompressed Gas Association, Inc. (CGA,P–1321), RSPA proposed to authorizeuse of certain Canadian cylindersmanufactured in conformance with theCanadian Transport of Dangerous Goods(TDG) Regulations and marked ‘‘TDG’’or ‘‘CTC.’’ The NPRM proposed fourconditions for use of these cylindersincluding a requirement that thecylinder be marked ‘‘DOT/’’immediately before the Canadianspecification marking (such as, ‘‘DOT/CTC’’). Comments supported theproposal authorizing Canadiancylinders to be filled and transported to,from and within the U.S. However,several commenters, including CGA andthe National Welding SupplyAssociation, Inc. (NWSA) and Transport

Canada were opposed to markingCanadian specification cylinders at thetime of requalification with a ‘‘DOT’’marking preceding the Canadianmarking already on the cylinder. Theystated that a cylinder in fullconformance with the TDG Regulationsshould not be required to be marked‘‘DOT’’ and they requested that RSPAallow the cylinders to transported incommerce in the U.S. without anyadditional marking.

Transport Canada stated that‘‘Canadian cylinders, like DOTcylinders, are manufactured worldwideunder controlled certification, thirdparty approval and retest proceduresconsistent with RSPA’s third partyapproval and retest procedures.’’ Theyalso pointed out that cylindersmanufactured and approved accordingto the TDG Regulations are currentlymarked ‘‘TC’’ and that there are noCanadian cylinders marked ‘‘TDG.’’Earlier Canadian manufacturedcylinders have the markings ‘‘CTC’’,‘‘CRC’’ and ‘‘BTC.’’ They requested thatRSPA consider authorizing use of all TCspecification packagings, includingthose corresponding to DOT or MCspecification markings.

One commenter stated that becausethe authorization to use Canadiancylinders is included in § 171.12a, asopposed to Part 173 of the HMR, theprovision falls short of full acceptanceof cylinders approved by TransportCanada. The commenter stated that theproposed provision would not permitthe transport of Canadian cylinders fromone point in the U.S. to another, ortransport from the U.S. into Canada.

On the basis of the comments, RSPAis adopting the proposed provisionswith several modifications. RSPA isadding the authorization to use CTCcylinders in § 173.301, instead of§ 171.12a. The authorization will allowcylinders marked ‘‘CTC’’ andconforming to TDG Regulations to betransported to, from and within the U.S.Section 171.2(d)(1) is amended byadding the letters ‘‘CTC’’ to the list ofspecification indications that may notbe misrepresented according to§ 171.2(c). Section 173.34(e) is amendedto include the retest periods for CTCspecification cylinders and to allowthese foreign cylinders to be exceptedfrom § 173.301(j) when they conform tocertain conditions. RSPA is notincluding the requirement to markCanadian specification cylinders at thetime of requalification with a ‘‘DOT’’marking preceding the Canadianmarking already on the cylinder. Toallow time for trade associations toinform retesters and fillers about thedecisions taken in this rule, RSPA is not

10750 Federal Register / Vol. 64, No. 43 / Friday, March 5, 1999 / Rules and Regulations

authorizing immediate voluntarycompliance; that is, upon publication ofthis final rule, with the newrequirements in § 173.301(i)(2) for CTCspecification cylinders. RSPA isauthorizing use of the new requirementsapplicable to CTC specificationcylinders consistent with the effectivedate of the final rule (October 1, 1999).

RSPA is not authorizing use of CRCand BTC cylinders in § 173.301(i). RSPAbelieves that there is not anoverwhelming number of cylindersbearing the ‘‘CRC’’ or ‘‘BTC’’ marksavailable for transport into the U.S. tojustify addressing them in § 173.301(i).These cylinders were manufacturedprior to 1973 and many are no longer inservice. RSPA is concerned thatrecognizing these additional markswould unnecessarily complicate thecylinder specification marking systemused in the U.S. In addition, RSPA isnot authorizing the use of TCspecification cylinders in this final rulebecause they are marked with theservice pressure in metric unitsaccording to the Canadian TDGRegulations. RSPA is concerned that themetric marking on these cylinderswould be confusing for U.S. retestersand refillers. RSPA proposed theadoption of four new metric-markedDOT cylinder specifications in aproposed rule (HM–220; 63 FR 58469)published October 30, 1998. RSPA mayconsider authorizing the use of TCcylinders once certain issues areaddressed, such as the training andeducation for retesters and fillers, andthe differences in marking requirementsfor TC cylinders and those for theproposed new DOT specificationcylinders. The decisions taken in thisrule are not intended to and do notimpact the continued acceptance ofCanadian or U.S. cylinders which aredual marked ‘‘CTC’’ and ‘‘DOT’’ toindicate that they conform to therequirements of the TDG Regulationsand the HMR.

Section 173.306. RSPA receivedseveral comments pertaining to theNPRM’s proposal to include anexception in § 173.306(f) foraccumulators intended to function asshock absorbers, struts, gas springs,pneumatic springs or other energyabsorbing devices. In the NPRM, RSPAproposed to except the accumulatorsfrom the requirements of the HMR, ifthey meet certain conditions. Themajority of commenters supported theexception and complimented RSPA forharmonizing the HMR with the UNRecommendations. The AmericanAutomobile Manufacturers Association(AAMA) stated that efficiencies and costsavings will be realized by adopting the

exception. One commenter suggested achange to the exception, as proposed inthe NPRM, by requesting that theminimum burst pressure for pressurizedaccumulators be changed to three timesthe charge pressure. The commenterprovided no technical details or safetyjustification for the alternativerequirement, other than to claim that anindustry standard specifies a safetyfactor of two times the charge pressure.The commenter also stated that theproposed exception will not effect theexemption, DOT E 8786. RSPA pointsout that the exemption does notauthorize a minimum burst pressure ofthree times the charge pressure. On thecontrary, the exemption specifies burstpressures consistent with thoseproposed in the NPRM.

Based on the foregoing, RSPA isadopting, as proposed, the newaccumulator exception by adding a newparagraph (f)(4). This amendment isconsistent with Special Provision 283 inthe tenth revised edition of the UNRecommendations, as modified in apetition from the AAMA, (P–1335).RSPA also is adopting, as proposed, anapproval provision to allowaccumulators not conforming to theprovisions of the new exceptionparameters to be considered by RSPAunder its approvals program. Inaddition, the provisions in paragraphs(d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) arerelocated to the revised § 173.220 andthe subparagraphs are removed.

Part 174

Section 174.81. The paragraph (f)Compatibility Table for Class 1(Explosive) Materials is revised to allowCompatibility Group G to be loaded andtransported with Compatibility GroupsC, D and E under certain conditions.This allowance is consistent with the§ 176.144(a) Table for Authorized MixedStowage for Explosives aboard vesselsand with the IMDG Code. RSPA isrevising the § 177.848 CompatibilityTable to reflect the same allowance.

Section 174.680. Paragraph (b) isrevised to authorize separation in thesame car, rather than segregation indifferent cars, of Division 6.1, PackingGroup III materials from foodstuffs. Thereference to the KEEP AWAY FROMFOOD label is removed and replaced bya reference to a modified POISON labeldisplaying ‘‘PG III’’ text, or a ‘‘PG III’’marking placed immediately adjacent tothe POISON label.

Part 175

Section 175.630. Paragraph (a) isamended by removing the reference tothe KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD label.

Part 176

Section 176.76. A new paragraph (i) isadded, consistent with Amendment 29of the IMDG Code, to require flammablegases or liquids having a flashpoint of23° C or less to be stowed away frompossible sources of ignition.

Section 176.83. Paragraphs (a)(1),(a)(3), (a)(8) are revised and a newparagraph (a)(10) is added to clarifysegregation requirements aboard vessels.In addition, in the § 176.83(g)Segregation Table for the segregationrequirement ‘‘Away From,’’ ‘‘Norestriction’’ for ‘‘Open versus open—Ondeck’’ is revised to read ‘‘At least 3meters.’’ These changes are consistentwith Amendment 29 of the IMDG Code.

Section 176.600. This section isrevised to specify that packagescontaining a Division 6.1, PackingGroup III material and bearing amodified POISON label displaying thetext ‘‘PG III,’’ or a ‘‘PG III’’ markingadjacent to the POISON label, must bestowed away from living quarters,ventilation ducts serving living quartersand separated from foodstuffs. Thisstowage requirement does not applywhen hazardous materials andfoodstuffs are stowed in different closedtransport units.

Part 177

Section 177.841. Paragraph (e)(3) isrevised to specify requirements forseparating Division 6.1, PG III materialsfrom foodstuffs, consistent withprovisions in § 177.848. However, apackage containing a Division 6.1, PG IIImaterial and bearing either a primary orsubsidiary POISON hazard warninglabel with text displaying ‘‘PG III,’’ or anadjacent ‘‘PG III’’ marking, may betransported on the same vehicle asfoodstuffs if separated to preventcommingling.

Section 177.848. In paragraph (f), theCompatibility Table for Class 1(Explosive) Materials is revised to allowCompatibility Group C to be loaded andtransported on the same vehicle withCompatibility Groups C, D and E undercertain conditions. This allowance isconsistent with the wording in the§ 176.144(a) Table for Authorized MixedStowage for Explosives aboard vesselsand in the IMDG Code. RSPA is alsorevising the § 174.81 CompatibilityTable to reflect the same allowance.

Part 178

Section 178.270–3. In paragraph (e), areference to ISO 82–1974(E) Steels-Tensile Testing is revised to correct aprinting error.

10751Federal Register / Vol. 64, No. 43 / Friday, March 5, 1999 / Rules and Regulations

authorize the use of recycled plasticmaterials of known origin andcharacteristics for the manufacture ofUN specification plastic drums andjerricans, when approved by theAssociate Administrator for HazardousMaterials Safety. The Association ofContainer Reconditioners (ACR)expressed their support of the generalgoal of encouraging greater reuse ofrecycled plastic in new drums.However, ACR believes the proposal, aspresented, is inadequate and that RSPAis ignoring action taken by the UNCommittee of Experts, creating asignificant burden on the approvalsprocess, and possibly creating supplyand demand imbalances. RSPA believesthat at the present time, the use ofrecycled plastics should only beallowed under an approval process.RSPA believes additional experiencedata is needed to support introductionof specific provisions for its use into theHMR.

Also, due to a typographical error inparagraph (b) in the NPRM, the word‘‘when’’ is corrected to read ‘‘unless.’’

Section 178.703. Under Docket HM–215B (62 FR 24743), RSPA added arequirement to § 178.703(b)(6)(ii) whichstated, ‘‘Where the outer casing of acomposite intermediate bulk containercan be dismantled, each of thedetachable parts must be marked withthe month and year of manufacture andname or symbol of the manufacturer.’’This addition was adopted consistentwith changes in the UNRecommendations and wasreconsidered by the UN Sub-committeeof Experts at its fifteenth sessionbecause IBC manufacturers asked forclarification of the term ‘‘detachableparts.’’ The Sub-committee adoptedrevised text to identify this requirementas applying only to parts intended to bedetached for dismantling. RSPA isincorporating this text into the HMR inresponse to concerns raised by industryregarding the costs associated withapplying the existing HMR markingrequirements.

Section 178.813. RSPA is revisingparagraph (b) to provide for the innerreceptacle of a composite IBC to betested without the outer packaging,provided the test results are notaffected. This provision wasinadvertently omitted in previous effortsto harmonize the HMR with the UNRecommendations.

Section 180.352. In the NPRM, inparagraph (b), RSPA proposed torelocate to § 173.35, a requirement thata person must perform a visualinspection prior to filling an IBC. Theperiodic leakproofness test and visualinspection requirements were proposed

to be retained in paragraphs (b)(1) and(b)(2). In paragraph (b)(3), consistentwith the changes in § 173.35, RSPAproposed to allow the reuse of rigidplastic and composite IBCs, to requirethat they must also be internallyinspected at least every five years. Thisis consistent with paragraph 6.5.1.6.4 ofthe UN Recommendations.

RSPA proposed to add a newparagraph (c) to provide for the repair,testing and inspection of IBCs which arerepaired after being damaged (forexample, due to an impact, such as anaccident). This provision wasinadvertently omitted in Docket HM–215B [62 FR 24690] and is consistentwith the UN Recommendations.

Two commenters supported theproposal, but were concerned that IBCsmay be reused when they are not fullycapable of withstanding transportationrigors. The commenters requested RSPAto establish specific inspection criteria.In response to these comments, RSPApoints out that inspection criteria wereproposed in the NPRM and are adoptedin this final rule. However, if industrydevelops concensus standards withmore detailed and specific inspectioncriteria for determining the adequacy ofvarious types of IBCs for reuse, RSPAwill consider incorporating suchstandards in the HMR in a futurerulemaking.

ACR also recommended that RSPArevise the definition of IBC design typeto permit replacement of innerreceptacles of composite IBCs withreceptacles manufactured by companiesother than the original manufacturer, aswell as replacement of service andstructural equipment. This is beyondthe scope of this final rule and shouldbe proposed to RSPA in a petition forrulemaking. However, as stated incurrent § 178.801(c)(7)(iv), a packagingthat differs in service equipment is notconsidered to be a new design type.

The Rigid Intermediate BulkContainer Association (RIBCA)recommended that RSPA includeprovisions for the maintenance ofserviceable IBCs, as well as the repair ofdamaged IBCs. This issue also is beyondthe scope of this final rule and may beaddressed in a separate rulemaking.

Based on the foregoing, RSPA isadopting the changes as proposed. (Alsosee preamble discussion under§ 173.35.)

V. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 and DOTRegulatory Policies and Procedures

This final rule is not considered asignificant regulatory action undersection 3(f) of Executive Order 12866

and, therefore, was not reviewed by theOffice of Management and Budget. Therule is not considered a significant ruleunder the Regulatory Policies andProcedures of the Department ofTransportation [44 FR 11034].

B. Executive Order 12612This final rule has been analyzed in

accordance with the principles andcriteria contained in Executive Order12612 (‘‘Federalism’’). Federalhazardous materials transportation law,49 U.S.C. 5701–5127, contains anexpress preemption provision (49 U.S.C.5125(b)) that preempts State, local, andIndian tribe requirements on certaincovered subjects. Covered subjects are:

(i) The designation, description, andclassification of hazardous material;

(ii) The packing, repacking, handling,labeling, marking, and placarding ofhazardous material;

(iii) The preparation, execution, anduse of shipping documents related tohazardous material and requirementsrelated to the number, contents, andplacement of those documents;

(iv) The written notification,recording, and reporting of theunintentional release in transportationof hazardous material; or

(v) The design, manufacturing,fabricating, marking, maintenance,reconditioning, repairing, or testing of apackaging or container represented,marked, certified, or sold as qualifiedfor use in transporting hazardousmaterial.

This final rule addresses coveredsubjects under items i, ii, iii and v aboveand, adopted as final, would preemptState, local, or Indian tribe requirementsnot meeting the ‘‘substantively thesame’’ standard. Federal hazardousmaterials transportation law provides at§ 5125(b)(2) that if DOT issues aregulation concerning any of thecovered subjects DOT must determineand publish in the Federal Register theeffective date of Federal preemption.The effective date may not be earlierthan the 90th day following the date ofissuance of the final rule and not laterthan two years after the date of issuance.RSPA has determined that the effectivedate of Federal preemption for theserequirements will be 180 days after theeffective date of a final rule under thisdocket. Thus, RSPA lacks discretion inthis area, and preparation of afederalism assessment is not warranted.

C. Regulatory Flexibility Act

This final rule incorporates changesintroduced in the tenth revised editionof the UN Recommendations, the 1997–98 ICAO Technical Instructions, andAmendment 29 to the IMDG Code. (The

VerDate 03-MAR-99 16:59 Mar 04, 1999 Jkt 183247 PO 00000 Frm 00011 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\05MRR2.XXX pfrm08 PsN: 05MRR2

10752 Federal Register / Vol. 64, No. 43 / Friday, March 5, 1999 / Rules and Regulations

ICAO Technical Instructions and theIMDG Code were updated in a final rule,published October 29, 1998 [DocketHM–215C; 63 FR 44312].) It applies toofferors and carriers of hazardousmaterials and will facilitate thetransportation of hazardous materials ininternational commerce by providingconsistency with internationalrequirements. U.S. companies,including numerous small entitiescompeting in foreign markets, will beforced to comply with a dual system ofregulation, to their economicdisadvantage, if the changes in this finalrule are not adopted. The changes areintended to avoid this result. The costsassociated with this final rule areconsidered to be so minimal as to notwarrant preparation of a regulatoryimpact analysis or regulatoryevaluation. In contrast, the majority ofamendments should result in costsavings. No cost increases are associatedwith the incorporation of an exceptionfor certain shock absorbers, struts, gassprings and shocks, and otherautomobile energy absorbing articles in§ 173.306(f). This amendment shouldresult in an increased cost savings forthe automotive industry. Although thelabeling requirements for poisonousmaterials in this final rule may affectsome small business entities that ship ortransport hazardous materials, anyadverse economic impact should beoffset through a lengthy transitionperiod, retention of current operationalrequirements, and modification of thePOISON or TOXIC label. Theamendments for IBCs would removeprohibitions for reusing certain IBCswhich would result in costing savingsfor industry by allowing IBCs to beinspected and reused, instead of usedand discarded. In addition, theamendments to the IBC markingrequirements in § 178.703 will eliminatethe burden of unnecessary markingswhich will also result in cost savings.

A number of amendments in this finalrule will result in relaxation of overlyburdensome requirements which willresult in cost savings. For example, theremoval of the requirement toperformance test shrink or stretch-wrapped trays containing limitedquantities of hazardous materials shouldresult in a cost savings for manycompanies. The authorization to allowuse of recycled plastic materials whenapproved by the AssociateAdministrator for Hazardous MaterialsSafety, the relaxation of fillingrequirements for IM portable tanks, theauthorization to use steel packages forbatteries and the amendments forpackaging gallium, mercury, polymericbeads and plastic molding compound

are other examples where cost savingswill be realized. Many companiesinvolved in domestic, as well as globaloperations, will realize economicbenefits as a result of the amendments.Therefore, I certify that this final rulewill not, if promulgated, have asignificant economic impact on asubstantial number of small entities.

D. Paperwork Reduction Act

The requirements for informationcollection have been approved by theOffice of Management and Budget(OMB) under OMB control numbers2137–0034 for shipping papers and2137–0557 for approvals. Under thePaperwork Reduction Act of 1995, noperson is required to respond to acollection of information unless itdisplays a valid OMB control number.

E. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)

A regulation identifier number (RIN)is assigned to each regulatory actionlisted in the Unified Agenda of FederalRegulations. The Regulatory InformationService Center publishes the UnifiedAgenda in April and October of eachyear. The RIN number contained in theheading of this document can be usedto cross-reference this action with theUnified Agenda.

F. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

This final rule does not imposeunfunded mandates under theUnfunded Mandates Reform Act of1995. It does not result in costs of $100million or more to either State, local ortribal governments, in the aggregate, orto the private sector, and is the leastburdensome alternative that achievesthe objective of the rule.
