Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With the United Nations
Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and
International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions
AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations to
maintain alignment with corresponding provisions of international
standards. Because of recent changes to the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), the International Civil Aviation
Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions), and the United
Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN
Recommendations), these revisions are necessary to facilitate the
transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.
DATES: 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On December 21, 1990, the Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA) published a final rule [Docket HM-181; 55 FR
52402] which comprehensively revised the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR), 49 CFR Parts 171 to 180, with respect to hazard
communication, classification, and packaging requirements, based on the
UN Recommendations. One intended effect of the rule was to facilitate
the international transportation of hazardous materials by ensuring a
basic consistency between the HMR and international regulations.
The UN Recommendations are not regulations, but are recommendations
issued `by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods (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 Instructions 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.
II. Summary of Comments
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.
Part 171
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
[[Page 24691]]
Small 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 applying 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.
Thus, 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 Wet'' 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
[[Page 24692]]
POISON 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.
Part 172
Section 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 proper 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 considered 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
[[Page 24693]]
packaging 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 ``compressed,'' ``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 mixture 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 for
``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
[[Page 24694]]
commenter 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 applicable 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 communicated 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.
Part 173
Section 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
[[Page 24695]]
additional 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 the 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 for 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
[[Page 24696]]
packaging 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 alloys 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 liquid 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
[[Page 24697]]
meets 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 pass
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 revised 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
[[Page 24698]]
removed. 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.
Part 175
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.
Part 176
Section 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. The 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.
Part 178
Section 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.
IV. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
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
[[Page 24699]]
Procedures 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.
B. Executive Order 12612
This 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.
C. Regulatory Flexibility Act
This 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.
D. Paperwork Reduction 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.
E. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)
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.

28. 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.
[[Page 24720]]
(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 design 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.

(c) Explosives Packing Instruction Table. Explosives must be
packaged in accordance with the following table:
(1) The first column lists, in alphanumeric sequence, the packing
methods prescribed for explosives in the Explosives Table of paragraph
(b) of this section.
(2) The second column specifies the inner packagings that are
required. If inner packagings are not required, a notation of ``Not
necessary'' appears in the column. The term ``Not necessary'' means
that a suitable inner packaging may be used but is not required.
(3) The third column specifies the intermediate packagings that are
required. If intermediate packagings are not required, a notation of
``Not necessary'' appears in the column. The term ``Not necessary''
means that a suitable intermediate packaging may be used but is not
required.
(4) The fourth column specifies the outer packagings which are
required. If inner packagings and/or intermediate packagings are
specified in the second and third columns, then the packaging specified
in the fourth column must be used as the outer packaging of a
combination packaging; otherwise it may be used as a single packaging.
(5) Packing Instruction 101 may be used for any explosive substance
or article if an equivalent level of safety is shown to be maintained
subject to the approval of the Associate Administrator for Hazardous
Materials Safety.

(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.

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

(iii) A solid substance should be tested if at least 10 percent of
its total mass is likely to be dust in a respirable range, e.g. the
aerodynamic diameter of that particle-fraction is 10 microns or less. 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
where:
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.
Note 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.

Sec. 176.905 Motor vehicles or mechanical equipment powered by
internal combustion engines.
(a) A motor vehicle or any mechanized equipment powered by an
internal combustion engine is subject to the following requirements
when carried as cargo on a vessel:
(1) Before being loaded on a vessel, each motor vehicle or
mechanical equipment must be inspected for fuel leaks and identifiable
faults in the electrical system that could result in short circuit or
other unintended electrical source of ignition. A motor vehicle or
mechanical equipment showing any signs of leakage or electrical fault
may not be transported.
(2) The fuel tank of a motor vehicle or mechanical equipment
powered by liquid fuel may not be more than one-fourth full.
(3) Whenever possible, each vehicle or mechanical equipment must be
stowed to allow for its inspection during transit.
(4) Motor vehicles or mechanical equipment may be refueled when
necessary in the hold of a vessel in accordance with Sec. 176.78.
(5) When a motor vehicle or mechanical equipment with fuel in its
tanks is stowed in a closed freight container, a warning, displayed on
a contrasting background and readily legible from a distance of 8
meters (26 feet), must be affixed to the access doors to read as
follows:
WARNING-MAY CONTAIN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURES WITH AIR--KEEP IGNITION SOURCES
AWAY WHEN OPENING
(6) A motor vehicle or mechanical equipment's ignition key may not
be in the ignition while the vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed
aboard a vessel.
(b) All equipment used for handling vehicles or mechanical
equipment must be designed so that the fuel tank and fuel system of the
vehicle or mechanical equipment are protected from stress that might
cause rupture or other damage incident to handling.
(c) Two hand-held, portable, dry chemical fire extinguishers of at
least 4.5 kg (10 pounds) capacity each must be separately located in an
accessible location in each hold or compartment in which any motor
vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed.
(d) ``NO SMOKING'' signs must be conspicuously posted at each
access opening to the hold or compartment.
(e) Each portable electrical light, including a flashlight, used in
the stowage area must be an approved, explosion-proof type. All
electrical connections for any portable light must be made to outlets
outside the space in which any vehicle or mechanical equipment is
stowed.
(f) Each hold or compartment must be ventilated and fitted with an
overhead water sprinkler system or fixed fire extinguishing system.
(g) Each hold or compartment must be equipped with a smoke or fire
detection system capable of alerting personnel on the bridge.
(h) All electrical equipment in the hold or compartment other than
fixed explosion-proof lighting must be disconnected from its power
source at a location outside the hold or compartment during the
handling and transportation of any vehicle or mechanical equipment.
Where the disconnecting means is a switch or circuit breaker, it must
be locked in the open position until all vehicles have been removed.
(i) Exceptions. A motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is excepted
from the requirements of this subchapter if the following requirements
are met:
(1) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment has an internal
combustion engine using liquid fuel that has a flashpoint less than 38
deg.C (100 deg.F), the fuel tank is empty, and the engine is run until
it stalls for lack of fuel;
(2) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment has an internal
combustion engine using liquid fuel that has a flashpoint of 38 deg.C
(100 deg.F) or higher, the fuel tank contains 418 liters (110 gallons)
of fuel or less, and there are no fuel leaks in any portion of the fuel
system;
(3) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed in a hold
or compartment designated by the administration of the country in which
the vessel is registered to be specially suited for vehicles. See 46
CFR 70.10-44 and 90.10-38 for U.S. vessels;
(4) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is electrically
