Bulk Hazardous Materials
AGENCY: Coast Guard, DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Coast Guard is amending its regulations on carriage of
bulk hazardous materials by adding cargoes recently authorized for
carriage by the Coast Guard or added to the International Maritime
Organization's (IMO) Chemical Codes and by making minor technical and
editorial changes and corrections. This action will update the bulk
hazardous materials tables and better inform persons shipping a bulk
hazardous material of that material's compatibility and special
handling requirements.
EFFECTIVE DATE: This rule is effective on August 28, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Unless otherwise indicated, documents referred to in this
preamble are available for inspection or copying at the office of the

Related Rulemaking
Elsewhere in this edition of the Federal Register, the Coast Guard
is publishing amendments to its noxious liquid substances lists in 33
CFR 151.47 (CGD 95-901). Also in this edition of the Federal Register,
a final rule (CGD 94-902) is published concerning cargo entries the
Coast Guard has reason to believe are obsolete.
Regulatory Information
Because the United States is a party to the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973 as modified
by the protocol of 1978 relating thereto (MARPOL 73/78), these
amendments are required to ensure that the Coast Guard regulations are
consistent with revisions to IMO's chemical codes. Accordingly, the
Coast Guard finds that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(b) to
publish this rule without opportunity for comment.
Background and Purpose
This rulemaking updates various Coast Guard hazardous materials
tables in 46 CFR parts 30, 150, 151, and 153 to include new chemicals
and requirements authorized by Coast Guard regulations or international
law. This rulemaking would also make other non-substantive editorial
changes and corrections.
Discussion of Amendments
(a) A number of new cargo entries are added to table 30.25-1,
tables I and II and appendix I of part 150, and tables 1 and 2 of part
153, as appropriate. These include cargoes recently authorized by the
Coast Guard and cargoes to be included in the IMO Chemical Codes
(``International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships
Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk'' (IBC Code), and ``Code for the
Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in
Bulk'' (BCH Code)), but not yet included in Coast Guard regulations.
These include new entries approved at an IMO subcommittee meeting of
September 13-17, 1993 (BCH 23) and October 19-23, 1994 (BCH 24).
(b) The ``Compatibility of Cargoes'' tables in part 150 are amended
to include the chemicals added by the final rule to the hazardous
materials tables in parts 30 and 153. This rule also corrects several
current cargo names and cross-references other entries.
(c) The Coast Guard was informed of two erroneous assignments in
the current table. They are cresylic acid tar, currently shown as
assigned to Group 5 (Caustics) and potassium thiosulfate, currently
shown as assigned to Group 0 (Unassigned cargoes). The entry for
cresylic acid tar is corrected to reflect its assignment to Group 21
(Phenols, Cresols), and the entry for potassium thiosulfate solution is
corrected to reflect its assignment to Group 43 (Miscellaneous Water
Solutions). The Coast Guard is appreciative of the assistance it
received in discovering these errors.
(d) Section 151.05-2 is revised to address the change for tank
barges certificated to carry benzene and benzene containing cargoes
from the restricted gauging requirements in Sec. 151.15-10 to closed
gauging requirements, and, for tank barges certificated to carry butyl
acrylate cargoes, from open to restricted gauging requirements. Section
151.05-2 was added in an August 31, 1994, final rule (CGD 94-900; 59 FR
45136) to require that such tank barges comply with the gauging
requirements of Table 151.05 by August 15, 1998. The revision clarifies
that until August 15, 1998, those barges must either meet the new
gauging requirements of Table 151.05, or the previous gauging
requirements in Sec. 151.15-10. Also, the spelling of the word
``acrylate'' is corrected.
(e) In its continued effort to maintain consistency between the
requirements of the tank ship regulations (part 153) and the tankbarge
regulations (part 151) where applicable, the Coast Guard proposes to
add special requirement 151.50-73, ``Chemical protective clothing'' to
the entries in table 151.05 of part 151 of the tankbarge regulations
for the commodities listed below:
(1) Acetic acid
(2) Acetic anhydride
(3) Coal tar naphtha solvent
(4) Coal tar pitch (molten)
(5) Formic acid
(6) Phosphoric acid
(7) Propionic acid
(8) Sodium chlorate solution (50% or less)
This change is in conformance with the current special requirement
for these commodities found in tank ship regulations at Sec. 153.933,
``Chemical protective clothing''.
(f) The carriage requirements of two entries in table 1 of part
153, diethyl sulfate and sodium silicate solution, are changed. The
Coast Guard has received information from a manufacturer of the
commodity diethyl sulfate demonstrating the need for the protective
clothing special requirement of Sec. 153.933. The Coast Guard is adding
the special requirement to the entry for that commodity. The entry
sodium silicate solution was reviewed by the IMO at BCH 24 and
determined to be a nonflammable water solution. Therefore, the fire
protection requirement for this entry was removed by the IMO. This same
action is adopted in this final rule.
(g) Other minor corrections or modifications are made as required
to the various lists and tables.
(h) In appendix I to this final rule, the Coast Guard is providing
information intended to provide mariners with insight into revisions
that may be addressed in future rulemaking actions. The appendix will
not appear in the Code of Federal Regulations, and does not propose
changes to current requirements. The appendix is provided for
informational purposes only. One issue addressed in the appendix
involves the potential for incompatible stowage of isocyanate cargoes,
Group 12 and water solutions of chemical cargoes. Shippers of such
cargoes should review the appendix for further information.
Regulatory Evaluation
This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and does not require an
assessment of potential costs and benefits under section 6(a)(3) of
that order. It has not been reviewed by the Office of Management and
Budget under that order. It is not significant under the regulatory
policies and procedures of the Department of Transportation (DOT) (44
FR 11040 February 26, 1979). This rulemaking updates the Coast Guard's
bulk hazardous materials table by adding cargoes recently authorized by
the Coast Guard or added to the IMO Chemical Codes and by making non-
substantive editorial changes. The Coast Guard expects the economic
impact of this rule to be so minimal that a full Regulatory Evaluation
under paragraph 10e of the regulatory policies and procedures of DOT is
unnecessary.
Small Entities
Under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.), the
Coast Guard must consider the economic impact on small entities of a
rule for which a general notice of proposed rulemaking is required.
``Small entities'' may include (1) small businesses and not-for-profit
organizations that are independently owned and operated and are not
dominant in their fields and (2) governmental jurisdictions with
populations of less than 50,000. This rule does not require a general
notice of proposed rulemaking and, therefore is exempt from the
requirements of the Act. Although this rule is exempt, the Coast Guard
has reviewed it for potential impact on small entities.
[[Page 34045]]
This rulemaking updates the Coast Guard's bulk hazardous materials
table by adding cargoes recently authorized by the Coast Guard or added
to the IMO Chemical Codes and by making non-substantive editorial
changes. Because it expects the impact of this final rule to be
minimal, the Coast Guard certifies under 5 U.S.C. 605(b) that this rule
will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities.
Collection of Information
This final rule contains no collection of information requirements
under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Federalism
The Coast Guard has analyzed this final rule in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 12612 and has
determined that this final rule does not have sufficient federalism
implications to warrant the preparation of a Federalism Assessment.
This rulemaking updates chemical tables by adding cargoes recently
authorized by the Coast Guard or added to the IMO Chemical Codes and by
making other non-substantive editorial changes and corrections.
Therefore this rulemaking has no federalism implications.
Environment
The Coast Guard has considered the environmental impact of this
final rule and concluded that, under section 2.B.2 of Commandant
Instruction M16475.1B, this final rule is categorically excluded from
further environmental documentation. This rulemaking updates tables
listing chemicals already approved under Coast Guard regulation or
international law and clearly would have no impact on the environment.
A Categorical Exclusion Determination is available in the docket for
inspection or copying where indicated under ADDRESSES.

Appendix I
Note--The following appendix will not appear in the Code of
Federal Regulations.
Summary: The information contained in this appendix is for
informational purposes only, and is intended to provide mariners
with insight into revisions that may be addressed in future
rulemaking actions. It does not change existing regulations.
Provisional Categorization of Liquid Substances, MEPC/Circ.281/
Rev.1.
On March 7, 1995, the International Maritime Organization (IMO),
London, U.K. published the circular MEPC/Circ.281/Rev.1, Provisional
Categorization of Liquid Substances. This circular contains a number
of chemical cargo lists. Among the various lists are several
specialty lists which are presented below (in modified format) for
the information of interested parties.
(a) Annex 6. Oil-like substances.
1. Pollution Category C--See 33 CFR 151.49(a).
Aviation alkylates (C8 paraffins and iso-paraffins b. pt. 95-120
deg. C)
Cycloheptane
Cyclohexane
Cyclopentane
p-Cymene
Ethyl cyclohexane
Heptane (all isomers)
Heptene (all isomers)
Hexane (all isomers)
Hexene (all isomers)
Isopropylcyclohexane (iso-Propylcyclohexane)
Methylcyclohexane
Nonane (all isomers)
Octane (all isomers)
Olefin mixtures (C5-C7)
Pentane (all isomers)
Pentene (all isomers)

Xylenes
2. Pollution Category D--See also 33 CFR 151.49(b). Diisopropyl
naphthalene
(b) Annex 7. Substances not shipped in pure form but as
components in mixtures. The IMO has recognized that many mixtures
transported in bulk by water contain components that are themselves
not shipped in bulk alone, and which are therefor neither identified
in the IBC Code nor in the lists of Tripartite Agreements. To
facilitate the classification of mixtures, such components are
assigned pollution categories and ship types. Those products on
which IMO has sufficient information to enable classification are:

Potential for incompatible stowage between isocyanates and water
solutions of chemical cargoes.
The Coast Guard has been apprised of a potential for incompatible
stowage of isocyanate cargoes, Group 12, adjacent to water solutions of
other cargoes (chemicals). Currently, the stowage of isocyanate cargoes
adjacent to a number of groups is prohibited, including cargoes listed
in Group 43 (Miscellaneous Water Solutions). However, a ``pure''
chemical cargo may be assigned to a Compatibility Group not considered
hazardous when stowed adjacent to isocyanates when in fact it could
present a hazardous situation if it has a water content. Therefore, the
Coast Guard is bringing to the attention of the shipping industry and
other interested parties that due caution should be exercised when
stowing isocyanates adjacent to water solutions of other cargoes.
The Coast Guard is appreciative of the assistance it received in
bringing this potentially hazardous situation to its attention. The
Coast Guard is considering the initiation of a rulemaking to restrict
stowage of isocyanate cargoes adjacent to water solutions of other
cargoes when the ``pure'' chemical itself would not be so restricted.
3. Name changes of current entries in the IMO Chemical Codes and
Coast Guard regulations that the Coast Guard is planning to propose to
the IMO.
(a) Nonyl phenol poly(4-12)ethoxylate would be renamed Nonyl phenol
poly(4+)ethoxylates.
(b) The isomers of butyl alcohol, all of which are now listed
separately in the Codes would be included under a new generic entry,
``Butyl alcohols (all isomers)''.
