Hazardous Materials Regulations; Editorial Corrections and 
Clarifications

AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In this final rule, RSPA is correcting editorial errors, 
making minor regulatory changes and, in response to requests for 
clarification, improving the clarity of certain provisions to the 
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). In addition, RSPA is revising 
legal citations in the HMR based on the codification of the hazardous 
materials transportation laws. The intended effect of this rule is to 
enhance accuracy and reduce misunderstandings of the HMR. The 
amendments contained in this rule are minor editorial changes and do 
not impose new requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: September 26, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jennifer Antonielli, Office of 
Hazardous Materials Standards, (202) 366-4488, Research and Special 
Programs Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    RSPA annually reviews the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to 
detect errors which may be causing confusion to readers. Inaccuracies 
corrected in this final rule include typographical errors, incorrect 
references to other rules and regulations in the CFR, inconsistent use 
of terminology, and misstatements of certain regulatory requirements. 
In response to inquiries RSPA received concerning the clarity of 
particular requirements specified in the HMR, certain other changes are 
made to reduce uncertainties. In addition, RSPA is revising all legal 
citations contained in the HMR to reflect the codification of 
transportation laws relating to hazardous materials under 49 U.S.C. 
5101-5127.
    Since these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and 
public procedure are unnecessary. For the same reason, there is good 
cause to make these amendments effective without the customary 30-day 
delay following publication. This will allow the changes to appear in 
the next revision of 49 CFR.
    The following is a section-by-section summary of the amendments 
made under this final rule. It does not discuss editorial corrections 
(e.g., typographical, capitalization, and punctuation errors) or 
changes to the legal citations.

Part 106

    Section 106.3. Paragraph (b) is revised to reflect the correct 
title of the Associate Administrator for Pipeline Safety, and a new 
paragraph (c) is added which delegates authority to the Associate 
Administrator for Research, Technology and Analysis.
    Appendix A to Part 106. Appendix A to part 106 is removed because 
it duplicates the provisions in Sec. 106.3.

Part 107

    Section 107.329. In paragraphs (a) and (b), references to 
``subchapter B of this chapter'' are revised to read ``this 
subchapter''.
    Section 107.403. In paragraph (c), references to ``Director'' are 
revised to reflect the correct title of the Associate Administrator for 
Hazardous Materials Safety.
    Section 107.503. Paragraph (c) is revised to reflect the correct 
reference to the ASME Certificate of Authorization.

Part 171

``rail car''.
    Section 171.7. The entry for Compressed Gas Association is revised 
to reflect the correct address.
    Section 171.8. In the definition of ``NPT'', the wording ``in 
compliance with the'' is revised to read ``conforming to'' for 
consistency.
    Section 171.11. In paragraph (d)(6)(i), the wording 
``Sec. 171.203(d)(1)(iii)'' is revised to reflect the correct section 
reference.
    Section 171.12. In paragraph (d)(1), the wording 
``Sec. 171.203(d)(1)(iii)'' is revised to reflect the correct section 
reference.

Part 172

    Section 172.101. All references to ``the appendix'' in paragraph 
(c)(8) are revised to read ``Appendix A''. In paragraph (g), the 
reference to ``subpart D'' is revised to read ``subpart E''. In 
addition, paragraph (d)(4) is amended to refer to ``Sec. 173.150 (e) or 
(f)'' since both provisions set forth criteria for reclassing a 
material as a combustible liquid.
    The Hazardous Materials Table (the Table). In the Table, the entry 
``Ethylene oxide and carbon dioxide mixtures, see Carbon dioxide and 
ethylene oxide mixtures, etc.'' is removed because ``Carbon dioxide and 
ethylene oxide mixtures'' is not listed as a proper shipping name.
    Section 172.102. Special Provision 14 is amended to clarify the 
definition of motor fuel antiknock mixtures. Special Provision 42 is 
removed because the same provision appears in Sec. 173.218. In Special 
Provision B33, the phrase ``is subject to the following requirements.'' 
is revised to read ``must conform to Table 1 as follows.'' In paragraph 
(c)(7)(ii), the statement ``These provisions apply only to 
transportation in IM portable tanks:'' is removed because it duplicates 
the introductory text of paragraph (c)(7). Special Provision T31 is 
amended by correcting the abbreviation ``kpa'' to ``kPa''. 
Additionally, in Special Provision T31, the temperature ``65  deg.C'' 
is revised to read ``65.6  deg.C''.
    Section 172.203. Paragraph (h)(2)(i) is amended by replacing the 
word ``to'' with the word ``of'' preceding the words ``this 
subchapter''.
    Section 172.505. In paragraph (a), immediately following the words 
``portable tank,'' the word ``and'' is removed and replaced with the 
word ``or'' for consistency.
    Section 172.604. In paragraph (a)(3)(i), reference to ``this part 
172'' is revised to read ``this part''.

Part 173

    Section 173.12. Paragraph (d)(3) is removed because labpacks are 
only authorized for transportation by highway. Therefore, these 
requirements do not apply to marine pollutants because they are not 
regulated when packaged in non-bulk packagings and transported by 
highway.
    Section 173.32. The wording in paragraph (g) ``bad dents'' is 
revised to read ``significant dents'' for consistency with paragraph 
(e)(2)(ii). An amendment is made in paragraph (q) to correct the 
wording ``greater to or equal to'' to read ``greater than or equal 
to.''

read ``LC50'' each place it appears.
    Section 173.133. In paragraph (b)(1)(iv) table, references to 
``Hazard Zone C'' and ``Hazard Zone D'' are removed because these zones 
only apply to gases (Division 2.3) and, in the entry ``III (Hazard Zone 
D)'' in column 2, the wording ``Packing Groups I and II, Hazard Zones 
A, B and C'' is revised to read ``Packing Group I, Hazard Zones A and 
B, and Packing Group II''.
    Section 173.226. In paragraph (b)(4)(ii)(A), the word ``and'' is 
removed at the end of the sentence.
    Section 173.230. In paragraph (d), the reference to Division 
``6.2'' is revised to read Division ``6.1''.
    Section 173.243. In paragraph (b)(2), the wording ``cargo tanks'' 
is added following ``DOT 412''.
    Section 173.315. In Note 15, the section reference for ``(QT) and 
(NQT)'' marking requirements is corrected.
    Section 173.318. The word ``of'' is revised to read ``or'' in 
paragraph (b)(1)(ii)(A). In paragraphs (b)(2)(i) (A) and (B), the words 
``his'' and ``this'' are removed and replaced with the word ``a''. In 
paragraph (b)(6)(ii), the word ``tanks'' is revised to read ``a tank''. 
Parentheses are removed from ``(MRHT)'' in paragraph (g)(2)(i).

revised to reflect the current shipping descriptions listed in the 
Sec. 172.101 Table.
    Section 175.700. The second sentence is removed because it is a 
duplicate of the first sentence.

    Section 176.415. In paragraph (b)(2), the wording ``or unloading'' 
is removed the second time it appears.
    Section 176.600. In paragraph (d), the phrase ``cool a reasonably''

Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action 
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is 
not significant according to the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of 
the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). This final rule does 
not require a Regulatory Impact Analysis, or a regulatory evaluation, 
or an environmental assessment or impact statement under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.).

Executive Order 12612

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria in Executive Order 12612 (``Federalism'') and does not 
have sufficient federalism impacts to warrant the preparation of a 
federalism assessment.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    I certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule makes minor 
editorial changes which will not impose any new requirements on persons 
subject to the HMR; thus, there are no direct or indirect adverse 
economic impacts for small units of government, businesses, or other 
organizations.

Paperwork Reduction Act
