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 
Executive Secretary, Marine Safety Council (G-LRA/3406) (CGD 95-900),

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.

    (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)''.
