Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions

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

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).

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

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.

DATES: Comments must be received by November 25, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Address comments to the Dockets Unit (DHM-30), Research and 
Special Programs Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 
Washington, D.C. 20590-0001. Comments should identify the docket and be 
submitted in five copies. Persons wishing to receive confirmation of 
receipt of their comments should include a self-addressed stamped post 
card. The Dockets Unit is located in Room 8421 of the Nassif Building, 
400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, D.C. Public dockets may be

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.

(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.

    (c) Explosives Packing Instruction Table. Explosives must be 
packaged in accordance with the following table:
    (1) The first column lists, in alphanumeric sequence, the packing 
methods prescribed for explosives in the Explosives Table of paragraph 
(b) of this section.
    (2) The second column specifies the inner packagings that are 
required. If inner packagings are not required, a notation of ``Not 
necessary'' appears in the column. The term ``Not necessary'' means 
that a suitable inner packaging may be used but is not required.
    (3) The third column specifies the intermediate packagings that are 
required. If intermediate packagings are not required, a notation of 
``Not necessary'' appears in the column. The term ``Not necessary'' 
means that a suitable intermediate packaging may be used but is not 
required.
    (4) The fourth column specifies the outer packagings which are 
required. If inner packagings and/or intermediate packagings are 
specified in the second and third columns, then the packaging specified 
in the fourth column must be used as the outer packaging of a 
combination packaging; otherwise it may be used as a single packaging.
    (5) Packing Instruction 101 may be used for any explosive substance 
or article if an equivalent level of safety is shown to be maintained 
subject to the approval of the Associate Administrator.

(Division 5.1) means a material that may, generally by yielding oxygen, 
cause or enhance the combustion of other materials.
    (1) A solid material is classed as a Division 5.1 material if, when 
tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, its mean 
burning time is less than or equal to the burning time of a 3:7 
potassium bromate/cellulose mixture.
    (2) A liquid material is classed as a Division 5.1 material if, 
when tested in accordance with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, it 
spontaneously ignites or its mean time for a pressure rise from 690 kPa 
to 2070 kPa gauge is less then the time of a 1:1 nitric acid (65 
percent)/cellulose mixture.
    (b) Assignment of packing groups. (1) The packing group of a 
Division 5.1 material which is a solid shall be assigned using the 
following criteria:
    (i) Packing Group I, for any material which, in either 
concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than the mean 
burning time of a 3:2 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture;
    (ii) Packing Group II, for any material which, in either 
concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal 
to the mean burning time of a 2:3 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture 
and the criteria for Packing Group I are not met;
    (iii) Packing Group III for any material which, in either 
concentration tested, exhibits a mean burning time less than or equal 
to the mean burning time of a 3:7 potassium bromate/cellulose mixture 
and the criteria for Packing Groups I and II are not met.
    (2) The packing group of a Division 5.1 material which is a liquid 
shall be assigned using the following criteria:
    (i) Packing Group I for:
    (A) Any material which spontaneously ignites when mixed with 
cellulose in a 1:1 ratio; or
    (B) Any material which exhibits a mean pressure rise time less than 
the pressure rise time of a 1:1 perchloric acid (50 percent)/cellulose 
mixture.
    (ii) Packing Group II, any material which exhibits a mean pressure 
rise time less than or equal to the pressure rise time of a 1:1 aqueous 
sodium chlorate solution (40 percent)/cellulose mixture and the 
criteria for Packing Group I are not met.
    (iii) Packing Group III, any material which exhibits a mean 
pressure rise time less than or equal to the pressure rise time of a 
1:1 nitric acid (65 percent)/cellulose mixture and the criteria for 
Packing Group I and II are not met.

[[Page 55401]]

    (iii) A solid substance must be tested if at least 10 percent of 
its total mass is likely to be dust in a respirable range, e.g., the 
aerodynamic diameter of that particle-fraction is 10 microns or less. A 
liquid substance must be tested if a mist is likely to be generated in 
a leakage of the transport containment. Both for solid and liquid 
substances more than 90% (by mass) of a specimen prepared for 
inhalation toxicity must be in the respirable range as defined in this 
paragraph (b)(3)(iii).
    (c) For purposes of classifying and assigning packing groups to 
mixtures possessing oral or dermal toxicity hazards according to the 
criteria in Sec. 173.133(a)(1), it is necessary to determine the acute 
LD50 of the mixture. If a mixture contains more than one active 
constituent, there are three possible approaches that may be used to 
determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture. The preferred 
method is to obtain reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the 
actual mixture to be transported. If reliable, accurate data is not 
available, then either of the following methods may be performed:
    (1) Classify the formulation according to the most hazardous 
constituent of the mixture as if that constituent were present in the 
same concentration as the total concentration of all active 
constituents; or
    (2) Apply the formula:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TP79AD96.000
    
Where:

C=the % concentration of constituent A, B . . . Z in the mixture;
T=the oral LD50 values of constituent A, B . . . Z;
TM=the oral LD50 value of the mixture.
