Hazardous Materials: Adoption of Special Permits (MAP-21) (RRR)

AGENCY:

Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), DOT.

ACTION:

Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

SUMMARY:

As required by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or long-standing special permits that have an established safety record. The proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. PHMSA conducted an extensive analysis of all active special permits and, in this rulemaking, those special permits deemed suitable are being proposed for adoption. PHMSA is inviting all interested persons to provide comments on both those special permits deemed suitable and proposed to be adopted into the HMR and those that are deemed not suitable for adoption. In addition, PHMSA is also requesting comments on a proposed requirement for special permit applicants to include regulatory text in their applications, when appropriate.

I. Executive Summary

The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) by adopting requirements contained in 98 existing special permits (SP). This proposal is based on our review of all active SPs as of January 1, 2013, in which we identified 98 SPs containing requirements which appear suitable for adoption into the HMR as regulations of general applicability. Other SPs are not being proposed for adoption into the HMR because we concluded they contain requirements which (1) would not have, or are being applied in a manner which would not have, broad applicability; or (2) have already been adopted into the HMR, are covered by authorizations in the HMR, or are being addressed in other rulemakings.

We encourage all interested parties, particularly the holders of currently active SPs, to submit comments regarding the SPs we are proposing to adopt into the HMR, the SPs we are not presently proposing to adopt into the HMR, and our preliminary regulatory impact analysis.

II. Background

PHMSA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to adopt certain requirements based on existing SPs issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B (§§ 107.101 to 107.127). SPs set forth alternative requirements—or a variance—to the requirements in the HMR in a way that achieves a safety level at least equal to the safety level required under the regulations, or when the regulations do not establish a safety level, that is consistent with the public interest. Congress expressly authorized the Secretary of Transportation to issue these variances in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975 (49 U.S.C. 5109) as amended.

On July 6, 2013 President Obama signed legislation entitled Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Section 33012 of this legislation required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that have been in continuous effect for a 10-year period to determine which ones may be converted into the HMR.

The legislation also required PHMSA to issue regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for adoption in a final rule by October 1, 2015. The legislation provides the following factors to consider during review and analysis to determine suitability for adoption into the HMR:

Although MAP-21 only required PHMSA evaluate SPs that had been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, PHMSA reviewed all active SPs as of January 1, 2013.

(1) The safety record of the hazardous materials (hazmat) transported under the SP;

(2) The application of a SP;

(3) The suitability of the provisions in the SP for incorporation into the hazmat regulations; and

(4) Rulemaking activity in related areas.

Prior to the passing of the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA had completed numerous rulemaking actions, through an established and refined approach, to convert long-standing SPs with an established safety record into the HMR. Following the passage of the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA modified its approach to align with the requirements of this legislation. Specifically, PHMSA established terms of reference and baseline criteria for the review of long-standing SPs, created tracking tools to monitor progress, and adopted a methodology and timeline to evaluate SPs.

This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) provides an overview of the SP Program to date, a detailed review of the requirements of MAP-21 with regard to this initiative, and a comprehensive explanation of the rationale used to evaluate these SPs both prior to and after the implementation of MAP-21. Furthermore, based on this rationale, this NPRM details the SPs that are deemed not suitable for adoption into the HMR along with the corresponding reasoning, and proposes the adoption into the HMR of SPs that have been deemed suitable through this review. The proposals from all the SPs to be adopted have broad applicability, fit into the scope of the HMR, will increase flexibility in transportation, and provide an equivalent level of safety to the current regulations. PHMSA is inviting comments from all interested parties, particularly SP holders, on both those SPs deemed suitable and proposed to be adopted and those that are deemed not suitable for adoption.

III. Overview

A. SPs Program

PHMSA's Approvals and Permits Division

is responsible for the issuance of DOT SPs and Approvals. A SP sets forth alternative requirements, or variances, to the requirements in the HMR. Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5128) authorizes PHMSA to issue such variances in a way that achieves a safety level that is at least equal to the safety level required under Federal hazmat law or is consistent with the public interest if a required safety level does not exist. SPs also address unique or infrequent transportation situations that would be difficult to accommodate in regulations intended for use by a wide range of shippers and carriers.

http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/permits-approvals/special-permits

SPs are issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B (§§ 107.101 to 107.127). The HMR are generally performance-oriented regulations, and as such, provide the regulated community with some flexibility in meeting safety requirements. Even so, not every transportation situation can be anticipated and covered under the regulations. The hazardous materials community is at the cutting edge of developing new materials, new technologies, and innovative ways of moving hazardous materials. Innovation strengthens our economy, and some new technologies and operational techniques may enhance safety. Thus, while not compromising safety, SPs provide a mechanism for testing new technologies, promoting increased transportation efficiency and productivity, and ensuring global competitiveness. In addition, SPs enable the hazardous materials industry to safely, quickly, and effectively integrate new products and technologies into production and the transportation stream.

PHMSA conducts ongoing reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and long-standing SPs with established safety records for conversion into regulations of broader applicability. Converting these SPs into regulations reduces paperwork burdens for the government and applicants and facilitates commerce while maintaining safety. Additionally, adoption of SPs as rules of general applicability provides wider access to the benefits and regulatory flexibility of the provisions granted in the SPs. Factors that influence whether or not a specific SP is a candidate for regulatory action include: the safety record for hazardous materials transported or operations conducted under a SP; potential for broad application of a SP; suitability of the provisions in the SP for adoption into the HMR; rulemaking activity in related areas; and agency priorities.

Since the inception of the SP program, PHMSA has periodically reviewed SPs and under various rulemaking actions certain widely-used or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record have been adopted or recently proposed for incorporation into the HMR. For example, PHMSA has adopted or proposed 94 SPs into the HMR since 2008. These 94 SPs represent a decrease of 13,947 holders of SPs. These rulemakings are noted in Table 1.

B. MAP-21 Legislation

Section

33012 of the MAP-21 legislation modified § 5117 (f) of the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law. Specifically, under the “SPs and exclusions” paragraph (f) was revised to read as follows:

This table represents only published rulemakings since January 1, 2008.

“(f) Incorporation into regulations.

(1) IN GENERAL—Not later than 1 year after the date on which a SP has been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, the Secretary shall conduct a review and analysis of that SP to determine whether it may be converted into the hazardous materials regulations.

(2) FACTORS—In conducting the review and analysis under paragraph (1), the Secretary may consider—

(A) the safety record for hazardous materials transported under the special permit;

(B) the application of a special permit;

(D) rulemaking activity in related areas.

(3) RULEMAKING—After completing the review and analysis under paragraph (1) and after providing notice and opportunity for public comment, the Secretary shall either institute a rulemaking to incorporate the special permit into the hazardous materials regulations or publish in the

Federal Register

the Secretary's justification for why the special permit is not appropriate for incorporation into the regulations.”

This modification required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that have been in effect for 10 years or more and determine which should be converted into regulations; set parameters for the review; and issue regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for adoption in a final rule by October 1, 2015. Following the publication of the final rule, this process would be completed annually to ensure appropriate SPs are converted into the HMR on a consistent basis.

The legislation also required PHMSA to address other issues related to the SP and approvals regulations and program processes. Specifically, PHMSA is required to issue regulations on standard operating procedures to support administration of the SP and approval programs. This requirement is being addressed under Docket PHMSA 2012-0260 (HM-233E) in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published on August 12, 2014 [79 FR 47047].

C. SP Conversion Project Methodology

As previously stated, in the past, PHMSA has analyzed, evaluated, and adopted SPs into the HMR. In addition, PHMSA had already established an approach to adopt SPs into the HMR. However, the requirements contained in MAP-21 necessitated that PHMSA modify and formalize this approach. This section describes the SP Conversion Project (SPCP) and the methodology used to satisfy the requirements of MAP-21.

The following table summarizes the different phases of the SPCP. Specifically, this table briefly discusses the efforts of each phase and the timeframe in which it was completed. Furthermore, this table demonstrates how the entire project was divided into the two primary stages of analysis and rulemaking. Each phase of the SPCP is described in Table 3.

Table 3—SPCP Methodology

Phase

Description of action

Timeframe

Analysis

Phase 1: Development of Methodology

The SPCP Management team developed a methodology to consistently evaluate SPs, a system to track this analysis, sub-teams and sub-topic areas used to group similar SPs to be reviewed by the appropriate subject matter experts, and timelines and milestones

July 2012-January 2013.

Phase 2: Preliminary Analysis

An initial review of all SPs was conducted. SPs were divided by topics and sub-topics and each transportation regulations specialist was assigned a grouping. These specialists reviewed each permit and made a determination as to an SP's suitability for adoption into the HMR based on guidance provided by the SPCP Management team

January 2013-April 2013.

Phase 3: Mentor Review

The members of the SPCP Management were assigned topics and conducted a second review of the SPs deemed either not suitable or flagged for further review

April 2013-May 2013.

Phase 4: Team Analysis

PHMSA then established rulemaking teams for each topic composed of a team leader, mentor, and team members from each PHMSA Division and our modal partners. These teams then conducted a second review of those SPs deemed suitable and those flagged for follow-up

June 2013-August 2013.

Rulemaking

Phase 5: Drafting

For SPs deemed suitable, the team drafted regulatory text along with preamble language justifying inclusion into the HMR. The finalized draft of each topic was then submitted to the SPCP Management team for final review

June 2013-September 2013.

Phase 6: Consolidate Rulemaking

Following review by the SPCP Management team, the topic rulemakings were then combined into a master draft along with additional preamble language, regulatory analysis, and information collection activities

September 2013-November 2013.

Phase 7: Rulemaking Coordination

The master draft created was then vetted throughout the agency and with our modal partners. In addition, the rulemaking was coordinated with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation and the Office of Management and Budget

December 2013-October 2014.

Phase 8: Rulemaking Publication

Following concurrence from all entities, PHMSA submitted this rulemaking to the

Federal Register

for publication

November 2014.

Phase 1: Development of Methodology

As stated above, prior to the publication of MAP-21, PHMSA conducted reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and long-standing SPs with an established safety record for conversion into the HMR for broader applicability. The SPs suitable for adoption were predominantly identified by two methods: petitions for rulemaking submitted in accordance with § 106.105; and through a review of the SP application by the Approvals and Permits Division staff at the time of application. Specifically, during the evaluation of a SP application, the specialist reviewing the application could “tag” a SP as a future candidate for adoption into the regulations. At a later date after a positive safety record had been established, the SP would be proposed for adoption in a future rulemaking. This method to adopt SPs, however, was not conducted on a defined and predictable schedule.

After President Obama signed the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA modified its SP conversion practices and developed an overall strategy to specifically address the aspects of the requirements of MAP-21 that were not reflected in current procedures. In an effort to address the specific requirements for SP conversion, PHMSA's Standards and Rulemaking Division created a SPCP management team. This SPCP management team developed a methodology to consistently evaluate SPs, a system to track the analysis, created rulemaking sub-teams, topics and sub-topic areas to combine similar SPs to be reviewed by the appropriate subject matter experts (SME) and teams, and established timelines and milestones.

As MAP-21 included specific deadlines for the various aspects of the SPCP, PHMSA created an overall project timeline. This timeline was established by utilizing the Standards and Rulemaking Division's knowledge of the current rulemaking process and working backwards from the deadlines required by MAP-21. The timeline was divided into two main parts; analysis (Phases 1-4) and rulemaking drafting and coordination (Phases 5-8). Each of these portions of the timeline included specific deliverables.

Each SP being analyzed was assigned to one of 6 topic areas. These topic areas were established to reflect the main utility and purpose of the SP. These topic areas of the SPs, an overview of each topic area, and the affected number of SP holders are displayed in Table 4.

These topic

areas were then used to develop teams to address each grouping of SPs. Each topic area was further broken down into sub-topic areas which reflected the specific area of transportation that the SP affected. These sub-topic areas included manufacturing, retest, and use. Breaking down the SPs into topics and sub-topics ensured that the appropriate SMEs would be reviewing SPs and allowed for more efficient delegation of the workload.

For the purposes of this rulemaking Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) includes Ultrasonic Examination (UE) and Acoustic Emission (AE).

As mentioned above, teams were established based on topic areas to handle Phase 3 (Team Analysis) and Phase 4 (Drafting) of the SPCP. Teams were comprised of the appropriate SMEs from the Standards and Rulemaking Division, the Engineering and Research Division, the Approvals and Permits Division, Field Operations, the Program Development Division, the Office of Chief Counsel and our modal partners, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). In addition, each team was assigned a team lead and a team mentor from the SPCP Management team. The teams met on a frequent basis throughout Phase 3 and Phase 4 to discuss progress on their assignments and to pinpoint and resolve issues with the SP conversion.

Throughout every phase of the SPCP, the status of all currently active SPs was tracked in a database designed specifically for this project. This database detailed the specialist and team assigned to the review of the SP, the current status of the SP and the code

it was assigned following completion of the review. This database also tracked the completion of the drafting of regulatory text for any given SP and provided a brief summary of the SP. In addition, the SPCP Management team closely monitored timelines and milestones in a database specifically tailored to the SPCP.

Each SP was assigned a code that represented a rationale for the SP being suitable or not suitable for adoption into the HMR. These codes were based on PHMSA's factors for suitability combined with the rationales provided in MAP-21.

Phase 2: Preliminary Analysis

MAP-21 specifically mandated PHMSA issue regulations to adopt into the HMR any SPs that had been in continuous effect for a 10-year period and that PHMSA determined through its analysis are appropriate for adoption based on the review factors. While MAP-21 limited this analysis and review to SPs with a lifespan of greater than 10 years, PHMSA decided that an initial review of all active SPs would provide a greater benefit. A complete review of all SPs was conducted because many of the SPs are interconnected and interrelated. For example, some SPs are very similar with only minor differences between them and the inclusion of one SP may justify the inclusion of other similar SPs. In addition, PHMSA did not want to automatically disqualify a SP from consideration just because the SP was not in effect for 10 years. A SP may be extensively used and have an established history of safe use even if it is less than 10 years old. As MAP-21 also requires the periodic review of SPs over 10 years of age, PHMSA rationalized that a larger initial review would considerably streamline and limit the number of SPs to be evaluated in future reviews.

In January 2013, PHMSA began a systematic review of 1,168 existing SPs utilizing the criteria required by the MAP-21 legislation to determine suitability for adoption into the HMR. Transportation Regulations Specialists within the Standards and Rulemaking Division were assigned groupings of SPs. Each specialist was given instructions on how to uniformly and consistently review a SP. For the groups of SPs assigned, each specialist was instructed to:

• Provide a brief summary of each SP;

• Identify the key/other regulatory sections of the HMR affected;

• Make a determination on the suitability for adoption (Guidance was provided on assigning each SP a code relating to its suitability. These codes are discussed in further detail later in this document);

• Assign the SP to a topic area;

• Provide rationale for their findings; and

• Account for any recordkeeping issue that they faced.

Specialists then reviewed the SPs and, based on the guidance developed by the SPCP management team, they made a determination of which code the SP would be assigned (See Table 5). If specialists had doubts or concerns about any particular SP, they would assign a proposed code and flag the SP in the tracking database for second level mentor review in Phase 3.

In April 2013, the preliminary analysis was completed with roughly 300 SPs deemed suitable for adoption. In addition, approximately 185 SPs were flagged for second level review by the SPCP management team in Phase 3.

Phase 3: Mentor Review: Review of SPs Flagged and Not Suitable

From April through May 2013, the rulemaking mentors for each topic team conducted a second review of all SPs deemed not suitable for adopting into the HMR (roughly 690 SPs) and those tagged for further review in the Phase 2 review (185 SPs). Specifically, the mentors divided the SPs in need of further review among themselves, evaluated each permit against the requirements of MAP-21, and made a determination on the SP when possible. If the mentors were unable to make a determination, the SP remained flagged and the SP topic team would make a group determination in Phase 4.

Phase 4: Team Analysis

PHMSA then utilized six rulemaking teams, one for each topic area. As previously stated, each team was composed of a team leader, mentor, and team members from each PHMSA Division and our modal partners (FAA, USCG, FRA and FMCSA). Team leaders were tasked with the overall completion of the topic and the distribution of work assignments. Mentors were charged with reviewing the teams' data, and providing edits to ensure the 6 topics were cohesive and would form a complete and understandable NPRM. The team leaders and mentors of each topic area were members of the Standards and Rulemaking Division. Each topic area was handled as if it were its own rulemaking project.

While each team leader approached the team analysis phase in their own manner, the team members were utilized consistently throughout the SPCP, regardless of project. For example, modal partners focused on aspects of proposed SPs specific to their mode of transportation or aspects of SPs that could have wider implications in their mode. Team members from the Standards and Rulemaking Division primarily drafted the regulatory text and rulemaking preamble language. The Engineering and Research Division focused primarily on the technical aspects of each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory text, and the technical implications of the introduction of new technologies that a SP may provide. The Approvals and Permits Division focused primarily on the history of each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory text and the suitability determinations of the SPs. PHMSA Field Operations provided a review of enforcement actions of the SPs that were deemed suitable and assisted in the incident data research of each SP. The Program Development Division assisted in the review of the incident data research of the SPs and the evaluation of the cost and benefit data for the SPs that were deemed suitable. Finally, the Office of Chief Counsel primarily dealt with the editing of regulatory text and rulemaking preamble language as well as providing assistance in completing the regulatory analysis.

Each topic team tracked its status in a database, specifically noting when regulatory text was completed. The teams also used this database to record information to be included in the preamble explanations for each SP. For the SPCP, all draft regulatory text was completed in September 2013, at which point the team mentors provided edits and worked with each team to formulate a final version of each topic. In addition, each team provided a completed document containing lists of all suitable SPs, all non-suitable SPs, and the assigned codes to explain why the non-suitable SPs would not be included.

Phase 5-8: Rulemaking: Drafting, Consolidation, Coordination, and Publication

As the final phase, PHMSA consolidated its analyses and conclusions, evaluated compliance with statutory requirements and governmental policies and procedures applicable to the regulatory process, and prepared this NPRM to address each topic area. These requirements include Executive Orders, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Bulletins, DOT orders and procedures, the Administrative Procedures Act, and others. PHMSA uses a common process to identify, develop, track, prioritize, and implement regulatory changes in line with applicable DOT and Federal government policies and procedures. The Standards and Rulemaking Division has a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) in place which is intended to outline and serve as a reference for persons engaged in the regulatory process and to ensure that all applicable requirements are met. This rulemaking was completed, as with all rulemakings, using this SOP.

For this rulemaking, due to the comprehensive nature of the project, it was broken down into topics with teams assigned to each topic. Each topic area was then handled as if it were its own rulemaking project. While Phases 1-4 represented the analysis portion of this project, Phases 5-8 encompassed the rulemaking portion. Following the completion of the team analysis in Phase 4, team mentors edited and compiled the topics into one master document.

Future Reviews

As required by MAP-21, PHMSA plans to conduct annual reviews of SPs which have been in effect for more than 10 years. These reviews and analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and tools as those used in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and review will be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be evaluated and the experience gained through this evaluation.

In addition, PHMSA is considering modifications to the manner in which it writes new SPs in order to more accurately reflect how the HMR is written. In this NPRM, PHMSA is requesting comments as it considers a future proposal to require an applicant to provide potential regulatory text when submitting an application for a SP in order to facilitate adoption of SPs into the HMR.

D. Petitions for Rulemaking

PHMSA also considered several petitions for rulemaking submitted in accordance with § 106.105 that may impact SPs reviewed in this rulemaking. These petitions are discussed below.

P-1607

The Council on the Safe Transportation of Hazardous Articles (COSTHA) submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1607 to adopt the provisions of DOT SP-11458 that authorizes display packs of consumer commodity packages that exceed the 30 kg gross weight limitation. This petition has been accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this rulemaking. See the discussions in §§ 171.8 and 173.56 under the “Operational Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other” heading of this rulemaking.

P-1608

The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1608 to adopt the provisions of DOT SP-11903 into the HMR. This petition requests that PHMSA propose to adopt standards for the construction and use of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Cargo Tanks. Currently, these tanks are constructed under DOT-SP 11903 and used under party status in DOT SP-9166. In addition to DOT SP-11903 and DOT SP-9166, there are other SPs that address these standards. PHMSA is not proposing to adopt these SPs at this time as there is not a uniform standard for FRP Cargo Tanks ready for adoption. However, PHMSA is working to develop a uniform standard for FRP cargo tanks and will address this issue in a future rulemaking.

P-1610

COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1610 to adopt the provisions of DOT-SP 11110 into the HMR. This SP authorizes cargo aircraft operators to load division 1.4S and Class 8, PG III materials in inaccessible cargo locations in excess of the limitations specified in § 175.75(c). This petition has been accepted by PHMSA for consideration in a future rulemaking. However, at this time PHMSA is not proposing to adopt this SP because of concern that more time is needed to research the potential impact of changes to § 175.75 and to coordinate this review with the appropriate parties, including our modal partners.

P-1611

COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1611 to adopt the provisions of DOT-SP 11470 into the HMR. This SP authorizes the transportation in commerce of shrink-wrapped pallets containing boxes of waste ORM-D materials with the word “WASTE” marked on the outside of the pallet instead of the individual box. This petition has been accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this rulemaking. See the discussion in § 173.12 under the “Operational Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other” heading of this rulemaking.

E. SP Evaluation Results

PHMSA is committed to the SP adoption process established by Congress in MAP-21. To ensure that the changes made under this action are as efficient and effective as possible, PHMSA solicits input from its stakeholders. We have used several tables throughout this rulemaking to clearly identify SPs that are suitable for adoption and those that have been deemed not suitable. As required by MAP-21 the initial review and analysis of SPs considered the following factors:

• The safety record of hazardous materials transported under the SP;

• The application of a SP;

• The suitability of provisions in the SP for adoption into the HMR; and

• Rulemaking activity in related areas.

Based on these factors, the SPCP team developed and assigned codes to each SP being reviewed. These codes represent the rationale for adopting or not adopting a SP into the regulations. Table 5 explains each code.

Table 5—SPCP Code Key

Code

Title

Explanation

Code 1

Suitable for Adoption

SPs suitable for adoption.

Code 2

Not Suitable for Adoption: The application of the SP

SPs not suitable because of the manner in which applied. Because the purpose of the MAP-21 directive was to reduce need for SPs where widely-used, many of these SPs were not considered suitable for adoption because of their application; i.e., they were not widely-used, were too technical in nature, or were too specific to a SP holder. This Code was applied to both single and multiple holders of SPs.

Code 3

Not Suitable for Adoption: The suitability of the provision in the SP for adoption into the HMR

SPs not suitable for adoption because of the lack of broad applicability. Similar to Code 2, many of these SPs were not considered suitable for adoption because of the specificity of the SP. The terms of these SPs often included an inability to provide the same exception in a broad manner applicable to certain geographical locations or safety controls. This Code was also applied to both single and multiple holders of SPs.

Code 4

Not Suitable for Adoption: Rulemaking activity in related areas

SPs being addressed in other rulemakings.

Code 5

Already adopted or otherwise covered under current regulations

SPs already adopted or authorizations already specified in the current HMR. For example, these SPs will be terminated as they are no longer necessary since the provisions contained within have already been adopted or have been covered under current regulations.

Evaluation Summary

After completion of the evaluation segment of the SPCP, PHMSA identified 98 currently-active SPs that were suitable to be proposed for adoption in this rulemaking action. The SPCP evaluated 1,168 permits that represented 3,691 holders of SPs that were active on January 1, 2013. The adoption of these 98 SPs would impact 728 SP holders, as shown in Table 6. If the SPs proposed for adoption into the HMR in this rulemaking were to be adopted in a final rule, there would be an approximate 8% reduction in the number of SPs and approximate 20% reduction in the number of holders of SPs. PHMSA anticipates the final number of SPs adopted in the final rule may vary from this original number based on input from public comments received in response to this rulemaking and ongoing SP activity.

After this initial review of all SPs, PHMSA plans to annually review SPs that have been in effect for more than 10 years. PHMSA's ongoing review and analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and tools as in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and review will be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be evaluated and the experience gained through this evaluation.

Suitable for Adoption

The analysis phase of the SPCP identified 98 SPs (728 holders of SPs) that were deemed suitable for adoption. Table 8 summarizes the SPs deemed suitable, their assigned topic area, a summary of the permit, and the number of holders of SPs. All suitable SPs were deemed to be Code 1.
