ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor
regulatory changes, and in response to requests for clarification,
improves the clarity of certain provisions of the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR). 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: October 1, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Joan McIntyre, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards, (202)366-8553, 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 its 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.
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), changes
to legal citations and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the
clarity of the HMR.
Summary of Regulatory Changes by Section
Part 107
Appendix A to Subpart B
Under the sections entitled ``Motor Carriers'' and ``Water
Carriers,'' the names of the offices in the Federal Highway
Administration and the United States Coast Guard designated for
handling emergency exemptions are revised to reflect recent name
changes.
Section 107.335
In the first sentence, the word ``chapter'' the first place it
appears, is corrected to read ``subchapter.''
Part 171
Section 171.8
Definitions for ``Hazmat employee'' and ``Hazmat employer,'' as
mandated by the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law, Section
5102, are revised to include persons who are involved in the
manufacturing of hazardous material packages. In addition, the
definition of ``Hazardous material'' is corrected by removing the
reference to Sec. 172.102, which is not applicable.
Section 171.10
In paragraph (c)(2), the Table of Conversion Factors For SI Units
is revised to more accurately reflect certain equivalent measurements
for pressure.

the Director, Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia.
Part 172
Section 172.101
In paragraph (i)(4), the packaging section table is revised by
adding packaging sections for pyrophoric materials.
The Hazardous Materials Table (the Table). The Table is amended as
follows:
Punctuation and other minor editorial corrections to proper
shipping names in Column (2) are made to the following entries:
``Antimony trifluoride solution,'' ``Benzoic derivative pesticides,
solid toxic,'' ``Bromates, inorganic, aqueous solution, n.o.s.,''
``Cyclonite and cyclotetramethylenetetranitramine mixtures, wetted or
desensitized see RDX and HMX mixtures, wetted or desensitized etc.,''
``Permanganates, inorganic, aqueous solution, n.o.s.,'' ``Pesticides,
liquid, flammable, toxic, flashpoint less than 23 degrees C,'' ``Toxic
liquids, water-reactive, n.o.s.,'' ``Toxic liquids, water-reactive,
n.o.s. Inhalation hazard, packing group I, Zone A,'' ``Toxic liquids,
water-reactive, n.o.s. Inhalation hazard, packing group I, Zone B,''
and ``Toxic solids, water-reactive, n.o.s.''
In Column (3), the hazard class/division for ``Articles, explosive,
n.o.s.'', UN0354 is corrected to read ``1.1L.''
For the entry, ``Diborane mixtures,'' a ``D'' is added to Column
(1) to identify this proper shipping name as appropriate for domestic
transportation, but not necessarily for international transportation
under the provisions for international regulations.
For the entry, ``Dyes, liquid, toxic, n.o.s. or Dyes,
intermediates, liquid, toxic, n.o.s.,'' in Column (9B), the
specification for the maximum quantity that may be offered for
transportation in one package by cargo aircraft is clarified by adding
the unit of measurement.
The exceptions reference for packaging authorizations in Column
(8A) for the entry, ``Dicyclohexylammonium nitrite'' is revised to
reflect the correct section reference, Sec. 173.151.
The entries ``Hydrocyanic acid, aqueous solutions or Hydrogen
cyanide, aqueous solutions with not more than 20 percent hydrogen
cyanideic acid'' and ``Hydrocyanic acid, aqueous solutions with less
than 5 percent hydrogen cyanideacid,'' in Column (2), are revised to
correct the last two words and last word, respectively, to read
``cyanide.''
The entry ``Hydrofluoroboric acid, see Fluoboric acid,'' in Column
(2), is revised to correct the word ``Fluoboric'' to read
``Fluoroboric.''
For the entry ``Insecticide gases flammable n.o.s,'' ``D'' is added
to Column (1), because it was inadvertently omitted.
The entries ``Isocyanates, flammable, toxic, n.o.s. or Isocyanate
solutions, flammable, toxic, n.o.s. flashpoint less than 23 degrees
C,'' and ``Triazine pesticides, liquid, flammable, toxic flashpoint
less than 23 degrees C'' in Column (2) are corrected by removing
[[Page 49107]]
the Packing Group III entries, which are not authorized for these
materials.
For the entry ``Medicine, liquid, flammable, toxic, n.o.s.,'' ``1
L'' is added to Column (9A) as the quantity limitation for passenger
aircraft or railcar, because it was inadvertently omitted.
For the entry ``Methyl chloroformate,'' Column (7) is corrected by
removing Special Provision notes ``A3,'' ``A6'' and ``A7'' because this
material is forbidden from transportation by air.
The entries ``Sulfur chlorides,'' and ``Thionyl chloride,'' in
Column (7), are revised to reflect the correct Special Provision ``T''
codes.
The entry ``Titanium tetrachloride,'' in Column (7), is corrected
by removing Special Provision ``N41,'' because it is inconsistent with
the other packaging authorizations for this material.
Appendix A to Sec. 172.101
The entry ``2,4-(1H,3H-Pyrimidinedione, 5[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-
'' is placed in the correct alphabetical order.

``2,4-D,'' which is no longer listed as a proper shipping name, is
removed and replaced with ``PCB.''
Section 172.322
In paragraph (d)(2)(i), in provisions for combination packagings
for marine pollutants, the customary measurement provided for
informational purposes is adjusted to correctly read ``(1.3 gallons).''
Section 172.704

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). Because of the minimal
economic impact of this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact
analysis or a regulatory evaluation is not warranted.
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
There are no new information collection requirements in this final
rule.
