SUMMARY: This notice proposes to amend 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 proposed revisions are necessary to facilitate
the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.

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. These recommendations are amended and updated biennially by the
Committee of Experts 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.
This NPRM proposes changes to 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 become effective on January 1, 1997. Other proposed
changes are based on feedback from the regulated industry and RSPA
initiatives.
II. Overview of Proposed Changes
Some of the more significant proposed amendments in this notice
include:
--A new definition for ``Aerosol'' and two new definitions for
packagings--``salvage packaging'' and ``intermediate packaging''--would
be added. ``Intermediate packaging'' is a term used for explosives
packagings in the explosive packaging tables.
--New provisions for marking and use of salvage packagings.
--Amendments to the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) which add, revise
or remove certain proper shipping names, hazard class, packing groups,
special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport quantity
limitations and vessel stowage requirements.
--Addition and removal of certain entries to the List of Marine
Pollutants.
--New packaging requirements for explosives.
--More specific tests and criteria for classifying and assigning
packing groups to flammable solids, pyrophoric liquids and solids,
self-heating materials and water reactive materials.
--New definitions and packing group assignments for Division 5.1 solid
and liquid materials based on new test methods and criteria.
--Revised definitions and packaging requirements for Division 5.2,
Organic Peroxides including amendment of the diluent type B definition
and requirements pertaining to the use of diluents for desensitization
of organic peroxides.
--New criteria for classifying and assigning packing groups to mixtures
of Division 6.1 materials possessing oral and dermal toxicity hazards.
--Addition of new self-reactive substances and revision of certain
other self-reactive substances, based on amendments to Table 14.4 in
the UN Recommendations.
--Amendments to the requirements for 31HZ2 composite intermediate bulk
containers (IBCs).
III. Summary of Regulatory Change by Section
Part 171
Section 171.7. Various American Society for Testing and Materials
(ASTM) standards would be added or updated, 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-4206-94),
[[Page 55365]]
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 Small Scale Closed Tester. This method is equivalent to
ASTM D-3278 but specifically applies to testing petroleum products and
lubricants. ASTM D 4206-89 (Reapproved 1994) Standard Test Method for
Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures by the Setaflash Apparatus (Open
Cup) is equivalent to the test method currently provided in Part 173,
Appendix H-- Method of Testing for Sustained Combustibility.
In addition, the most current versions of the ICAO Technical
Instructions, the IMDG Code, the UN Recommendations and the UN Manual
of Tests and Criteria would be incorporated. Two references would be
added 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. A new definition for ``Aerosol'' would be added,
consistent with provisions of Sec. 173.306(a)(3). 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.
Corresponding proposed changes in Secs. 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a
would 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.
In addition, a definition for ``SADT'' (self-accelerating
decomposition temperature) would be added with a reference to
Sec. 173.21(f) for determining SADT. New definitions for salvage
packagings and intermediate packagings would be added consistent with
those in the UN Recommendations. Intermediate packagings are prescribed
in Part 173 for certain explosives.
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. The following proposed
changes apply to all three sections.
RSPA is proposing 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. This proposal is based on
RSPA's belief 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. In addition,
packagings are required to be labeled with Division 4.3 labels, and
transport vehicles and bulk packagings are required to display Division
4.3 placards. Furthermore, emergency responders primarily use the UN
number or shipping description as a basis for determining appropriate
actions to be taken in the initial stages of an incident involving
hazardous materials.
The words ``Toxic Inhalation Hazard'' would be added as an
alternative to ``Poison Inhalation Hazard'' or ``Inhalation Hazard''
and ``Toxic'' or ``Toxic Gas'' would be added as alternatives to
``Poison'' or ``Poison Gas''.
New provisions would be added, as discussed above for Sec. 171.8,
to allow only aerosols meeting the definition of ``aerosol'' in
Sec. 171.8 or small receptacles containing gas conforming to
Secs. 173.304 and 173.306 to be imported in accordance with the ICAO
Technical Instructions, IMDG Code and TDG regulations.
Part 172
Section 172.101. A new paragraph (c)(14) would be added to allow
isomers of materials listed in the HMT which meet the same hazard
class, subsidiary risk and packing group to be identified using the
listed shipping description. A new paragraph (c)(15) would be added to
allow hydrates of inorganic substances to be described using the proper
shipping name for the equivalent anhydrous material. Paragraph (f)
would be revised to acknowledge that Division 6.2 materials (other than
regulated medical waste) do not have packing group assignments.
The Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) would be revised as follows:
New Packing Group I entries would be 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 would be added to numerous entries, consistent with the
ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Current entries that
contain an italicized ``R'' number would be revised to include the
``R'' number in Roman type as part of the ``Refrigerant gas''
alternative proper shipping name.
Certain Class 1 entries assigned NA numbers for domestic
transportation would be removed. These include Explosive pest control
devices and Propellant explosives (both liquid and solid). Domestic
exceptions for these explosives would be incorporated into the proposed
explosive packing instructions, where applicable.
New entries would be 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'' would be 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.'' would be added.
Several entries, such as Phenyl isocyanate and Phosphorous
trichloride, would be 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 would result 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 proposes to
amend 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. RSPA is not proposing
to remove them from the Sec. 172.101 Table because they provide
guidance by referencing authorized proper shipping names, e.g.,
``Calcium selenate, see Selenates or Selenites''.
Certain entries, such as Diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate or
Methyl benzoate, (which do not meet toxicity criteria for a Division
6.1 Packing Group III material), would be removed. These commodities
were deleted from the List of Dangerous Goods in the ninth revised
edition of the UN Recommendations.
Various proper shipping names would be clarified by the addition or
removal of the word ``compressed'', ``inhibited'', ``liquefied'' or
``solution''.
RSPA is proposing adjustments to quantity limits for certain
materials identified as poisonous by inhalation when transported by
passenger or cargo aircraft or passenger railcar. Numerous proposed
changes are consistent with current quantity limits prescribed in the
ICAO Technical Instructions. Certain other materials would be forbidden
for transportation by aircraft or passenger
[[Page 55366]]
railcar because they have been identified as 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) adding new entries for ``Chemical sample, toxic, liquid (or
solid)'' to recognize samples taken for analysis in conjunction with
procedures addressing antiproliferation measures associated with
chemical weapons; (4) combining entries for ``Chlorite solution'' and
``Hypochlorite solutions''; (5) removing ``Methyl alcohol'' as an
authorized proper shipping name for ``Methanol'' but retaining it in
italics as a cross reference; (6) adding a Class 3 subsidiary risk in
Column (6) for several entries; and (7) creating a new entry for
``Aerosols (engine starting fluid)'' to indicate that these aerosols
are prohibited on both passenger and cargo only aircraft.
Appendix B to Sec. 172.101. A number of materials would be added,
removed or amended in the HMR's List of Marine Pollutants. The changes
would be based on Amendment 27 (to the extent not already incorporated
in HM-215A) and Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code.
Section 172.102. A new special provision 15 would be added to
prescribe quantity limits and packaging for chemical kits and first aid
kits. Other special provisions would be 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, Ferrocerium,
and Ammonium nitrate.
A new special provision A25 would be added to authorize polyester
resin kits in certain quantities to be packaged in non-specification
packagings for transportation by aircraft.
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 would be
assigned to this entry to permit certain non-specification bulk
packagings for these products.
Special provision N50, which provides an exception from Class 9
labeling for marine pollutants that are not hazardous substances or
hazardous wastes, would be removed. This is consistent with Amendment
28 of the IMDG Code, which requires that Class 9 substances for which
no label was required must now display a Class 9 label.
Section 172.203. RSPA is proposing to remove 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. In addition, packagings are required to
be labeled with Division 4.3 labels, and transport vehicles and bulk
packagings are required to display Division 4.3 placards. Furthermore,
emergency responders primarily use the UN number or shipping
description as a basis for determining appropriate actions to be taken
in the initial stages of an incident involving hazardous materials.
The list of generic proper shipping names which require inclusion
of a technical name in paragraph (k)(3) would be amended by adding
several entries for hydrocarbon gases, hydrocarbon gas mixtures, and
compressed or liquefied toxic gases which have a subsidiary hazard of
oxidizer, corrosivity or flammability.
In addition, RSPA is proposing to add the word ``Toxic'' and the
phrase ``Toxic-Inhalation Hazard'' in paragraph (m)(3) as an
alternative to ``Poison''. RSPA also is proposing 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. This proposed exception corresponds to an exception from
subsidiary risk labeling adopted under HM-215A.
Part 173
Section 173.3. Paragraph (c)(3) would be amended to authorize the
word ``SALVAGE'' as an alternative marking for salvage drums. In
addition, a new paragraph (c)(7) would be added to allow the use of
salvage packagings which have been certified and marked to UN
standards. However, RSPA is not proposing to make mandatory other
marking requirements adopted 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 additional
costs incurred by such marking and performance testing requirements are
not justified because salvage packaging provisions currently prescribed
in the HMR are adequate.
Section 173.21. The last sentence of paragraph (f) would be revised
to correctly reference the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.
Section 173.32c. Based on a letter from an intermodal portable tank
owner requesting consistency with a provision in the IMDG Code, RSPA is
proposing to revise paragraph (j) to require that an intermodal (IM)
portable tank or its compartment having a volume greater than 7500 L
must have a minimum filling density of 80 percent. Currently, the HMR
prohibits any IM portable tank or compartment of an IM portable tank
having a volume greater than 5000 L from being filled to less than 80
percent by volume. This proposed change is consistent with other
international codes related to minimum filling requirements. RSPA is
soliciting comments concerning how many compartmented IM portable tanks
are currently in service, and the capacities of those tanks.
Section 173.35. Under the IMDG Code, 31HZ2 composite IBCs are
required to be transported in closed freight containers or transport
vehicles for transportation by vessel. RSPA is not proposing any
comparable requirement for domestic transportation by any mode at this
time.
Section 173.60. This section would be amended for consistency with
the UN Recommendations. The proposed amendments are largely editorial
and serve to streamline and consolidate general requirements for
packaging explosives while eliminating redundant and unnecessary
requirements. These proposed amendments serve to more clearly convey
the general packaging requirements applicable to packaging explosives
for transportation without imposing new requirements.
Section 173.62. The Explosives Table, which identifies explosives
packing methods, would be revised to be consistent with recent changes
adopted in the UN Recommendations. New packaging methods have been
developed by the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods. This effort incorporated suggestions from the explosives
industry and national defense departments, including the US Department
of Defense. The new methods would be significantly more flexible than
the methods currently prescribed in the Explosives Table and would
incorporate a broader range of
[[Page 55367]]
options for authorized inner, intermediate and outer packagings than
currently permitted. In several instances, inner and intermediate
packagings would no longer be required. For instance, certain blasting
explosives with hard outer casings would not be required to be packaged
in inner packagings. A new packing method (Packing Instruction 117)
would incorporate authorization to transport certain Division 1.1D and
1.5D explosives in IBCs. Many of the explosive packing methods
amendments were based on comments received from Department of Defense
and explosive industry representatives, and on competent authority
approvals and exemptions issued to shippers of explosives.
The current packing method designations (for example, E-15, E-159)
would be replaced by Explosives Packing Instructions consistent with
those adopted in the ICAO Technical Instructions. The proposed Packing
Instructions would use designations ranging from Packing Instruction
101 through 144. Twenty-nine Packing Instructions are proposed. Packing
Instruction 101 would be similar to E-103 in the current regulations in
that it would cover explosives requiring competent authority packaging
approval. Packing Instructions 110 through 117 would apply to explosive
substances. Packing Instructions 130 through 144 would apply to
explosive articles.
Under the current requirements five packing methods require
competent authority approval (E-102, E-103, E-138, E-146 and E-149).
The proposed Packing Instruction 101 would include all explosives
requiring competent authority packaging approval under a single packing
method. In addition, many explosives (particularly those shipped under
not otherwise specified (n.o.s.) entries) which currently require
competent authority packaging approval would be assigned to specific
packing methods eliminating the requirement for the competent authority
to approve the packaging for these explosives. A statement indicating
that Packing Instruction 101 may be used for any explosive, subject to
the approval of the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials
Safety, would be added to authorize the competent authority to approve
packagings not covered in the Explosives Packing Instructions. If
adopted, these amendments would enhance safety, provide greater
packaging flexibility and reduce the regulatory and paperwork burden on
shippers of explosives.
The paragraph (d) table of particular packaging requirements and
exceptions would be removed, as these provisions would be incorporated
into the proposed Explosives Packing Instruction Table and the general
packing requirements in Sec. 173.60.
For clarity, and because of the extensive changes to the content
and format of the tables, the entire proposed Explosives Table and
Explosives Packing Instruction Table have been reprinted.
Section 173.124. Amendments to the test methods for flammable
solids, pyrophoric materials, self heating substances and water
reactive materials are proposed, consistent with the UN
Recommendations. The Self-Reactive Materials Table would be 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 would be
amended for consistency with the UN Recommendations. Reference to
Appendix E (which would be removed) would be replaced by references to
the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.
In paragraph (b), the UN burning rate test and criteria for
classification would be incorporated. The classification criteria for
readily combustible materials would be 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 metals or metal alloys would
be 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 would be assigned to Packing Group II if
the burning time is less than 45 seconds and the flame passes the
wetted zone. Packing Group II would be 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 would be 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
would be 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 would be amended. The criteria would be 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 would not be subject to the
requirements of the HMR.
In paragraph (d), the packing group assignment criteria would be
amended consistent with the UN Recommendations. These amendments would
not significantly affect the packing group assignment criteria, but
would be purely editorial to clarify the meaning of ``spontaneous
ignition.''
Section 173.127. Proposed changes to this section would amend the
definition for solid oxidizers and introduce 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 would be replaced by a reference to the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria.
Paragraph (b)(2) would be revised to include a statement indicating
that the material must be tested in the concentration offered for
transport. The criteria for packing group assignment would be 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. The revised criteria
would be clearer, more precise and would eliminate the ambiguity
associated with the criteria currently provided in the HMR.
Paragraph (b)(3) would be replaced with packing group assignment
criteria for liquid oxidizers adopted in the ninth revised edition of
the UN Recommendations. Incorporating specific criteria for liquid
oxidizers would provide a more precise means for shippers to classify
these products and would eliminate 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 would be amended to reflect its correct title.
Paragraph (d) would be amended to update the reference to Figure 11.2
(Classification and Flowchart Scheme for Organic Peroxides).
Section 173.132. A new paragraph (b)(3)(iii) would be added to
clarify when solid and liquid materials are
[[Page 55368]]
required to be tested for acute toxicity by inhalation. Current
paragraph (c) would be redesignated as paragraph (d), and a new
paragraph (c) would be added to authorize three methods for use in
classifying and assigning packing groups to mixtures of materials
possessing oral and dermal toxicity characteristics.
Section 173.136. A new paragraph (c) would be added to clarify that
skin corrosion test data developed prior to September 30, 1995, would
continue to be valid. In the preamble to the HM-215A final rule
(December 29, 1994; 59 FR 67400), RSPA stated that it would not require
retesting of materials classified under the previous test method in
Appendix A of Part 173.
Section 173.137. Paragraph (b) would be revised to clarify that,
when determining whether a material meets Class 8 Packing Group II, the
material cannot meet Class 8 Packing Group I.
Section 173.152. Limited quantity provisions would be added for
polyester resin kits being transported by highway, rail or vessel.
Section 173.162. A new sentence would be 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 would be revised to remove all
references to ``seat-belt modules,'' consistent with changes in the UN
Recommendations. Packaging provisions in paragraph (e) would be 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 proposing to also specifically authorize dedicated
handling devices.
Section 173.185. This section would be 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 proposing 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 would also apply to lithium cells and batteries
contained in equipment under specified conditions.
RSPA is also proposing to expand the types of packagings authorized
for transporting cells and batteries by aircraft to include an array of
boxes, drums, and jerricans. Additionally, RSPA is proposing to
eliminate 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 underwater).
Sections 173.201-173.203 and 173.211-173.213. Aluminum jerricans,
3B1 or 3B2, would be 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) would be
revised 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-Reactives Materials
Table would be revised by adding seven new entries. The Packing Method
Table for Generic Types in paragraph (c)(3) would be removed because
the information is specifically listed in the Self-Reactives Materials
Table, and paragraph (c)(4) would be 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 notice, RSPA proposes to
amend paragraph (b)(2) of Sec. 173.225 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 would be 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) would be 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, would be removed. The Packing Method
Table for Generic Types in paragraph (c)(3) would be removed because
the information is specifically listed in the Organic Peroxides Table,
and paragraph (c)(4) would be redesignated paragraph (c)(3).
Paragraph (d) would be 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.
Paragraph (e)(5) would be revised to authorize the transport of
stabilized peroxyacetic acid, type F (containing not more than 17
percent peroxyacetic acid) in type 31A IBCs. This proposal is based on
a competent authority approval issued to authorize the use of 31A
stainless steel IBCs. A corresponding proposal made by the United
States has been tentatively approved by the UN Committee of Experts for
incorporation into the tenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations.
Section 173.226. Paragraph (c)(1) would be amended to add aluminum
jerricans as an authorized packaging.
Sections 173.316 and 173.318. These sections would be amended by
adding 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.
Appendix E and Appendix F. The guidelines for classification and
packing group assignment for Classes 4 and 5 would be removed. RSPA
believes the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria is a more appropriate
reference for these test methods. 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.
Part 175
Section 175.10. Paragraph (a)(22) would be amended 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, would be revised to
correspond to proposed revisions in Sec. 176.905.
Section 176.84. A new note 17 would be added to prescribe
segregation for a
[[Page 55369]]
compressed or liquefied gas which is toxic, flammable and corrosive.
Section 176.905. RSPA is proposing to revise the provisions for
transporting motor vehicles or mechanical equipment powered by internal
combustion engines by vessel to reflect recent changes which have
occurred in the IMDG Code and in response to comments received 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 has
been removed and these materials were deregulated in Amendment 28 of
the IMDG Code. Although RSPA is not providing total relief for the
transport of motor vehicles by vessel, it is appropriate to modify 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 unregulated. Additionally, revisions to this section
would clarify transport provisions for vehicles fueled with compressed
gas and for certain battery-powered vehicles.
Part 178
Section 178.511. This section would be amended to adopt
requirements for aluminum jerricans consistent with the UN
Recommendations. Packaging codes 3B1 and 3B2 would be added. Paragraph
(b) would be 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 would be added. This would require
all inner receptacles to 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 would be required
to 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 would be
added indicating that the outer packaging of 31HZ2 composite IBCs must
enclose the inner receptacles on all sides. In paragraph (c)(3) a new
requirement would be added indicating that inner receptacles of 31HZ2
composite IBCs must consist of at least three plies of film. In
paragraph (c)(6) a new requirement would be added indicating 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'' would be added to clarify that rigid plastic IBCs and
composite IBCs with plastic outer packagings need to be tested for 28
days at 40 deg.C (104 deg.F) when the plastic outer packagings bear
the stacking load. As a result of this proposed change, IBCs with
plastic outer packagings which are designed with metal corner posts
which bear the stacking load would not be required to be tested for 28
days at 40 deg.C (104 deg.F).
RSPA is specifying a deadline for comments that is less than the 60
days recommended in Executive Order 12866. This shorter comment period
is intended to enable RSPA to develop and issue a final rule to
coincide with international standards which become effective on January
1, 1997. RSPA will consider late-filed comments to the greatest extent
practicable.
IV. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This proposed 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
Procedures of the Department of Transportation [44 FR 11034].
B. Executive Order 12612
This proposed 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:
(i) the designation, description, and classification of hazardous
material;
(ii) the packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and
placarding of hazardous material;
(iii) the preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents
related to hazardous material and requirements related to the number,
contents, and placement of those documents;
(iv) the written notification, recording, and reporting of the
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or
(v) 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 notice of proposed rulemaking addresses covered subjects under
items i, ii, iii and v 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 180
days after the effective date of a 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 proposed rule would incorporate changes introduced in the
ninth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, the 1997-98 ICAO
Technical Instructions, and Amendment 28 to the IMDG Code. It would
apply to offerors and carriers of hazardous materials and would
facilitate the transportation of hazardous materials in international
commerce by providing consistency with international requirements. U.S.
companies, including numerous small entities competing in foreign
markets, will be forced to comply with a dual system of regulation, to
their economic disadvantage, if the changes proposed in this NPRM are
not adopted. The proposed changes are intended to avoid this result. I
certify that this proposal will not, if promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This
certification is subject to modification as a result of a review of
comments received in response to this proposal.
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.
[[Page 55370]]
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.

Sec. 173.32c [Amended]
26. In Sec. 173.32c, in paragraph (j), the wording ``5,000 liters
(1,900 gallons)'' would be revised to read ``7500 L''.
27. Section 173.60 would be 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.
(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.
(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.
28. Section 173.62 would be 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)
[[Page 55390]]
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 Instructions prefixed by the letters ``US''
are those particular to the United States and not found in applicable
international regulations.
