Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With the United Nations 
Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and 
International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule amends 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 revisions are necessary to facilitate the 
transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.

DATES: Effective date: The effective date of these amendments is 
October 1, 1997.
    Compliance date: RSPA is authorizing immediate voluntary 
compliance. However, persons voluntarily complying with these 
regulations should be aware that petitions for reconsideration may be 
received and, as a result of RSPA's evaluation of those petitions, the 
amendments adopted in this final rule could be subject to further 
revision.
    Incorporation by reference. The incorporation by reference of 
certain publications listed in these amendments has been approved by 
the Director of the Federal Register as of October 1, 1997.

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 (UNCOE). These recommendations are amended and updated biennially 
by the UNCOE 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.
    In a final rule published December 16, 1996, RSPA incorporated the 
latest editions of the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code 
into the HMR to ensure that international shippers could begin 
complying with changes to international air and vessel standards going 
into effect on January 1, 1997. That final rule authorized compliance 
with either Amendment 27 or Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code and either 
the 1995-96 or 1997-98 ICAO Technical Instructions until June 1, 1997.
    This final rule amends 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 became 
effective January 1, 1997. Other changes are based on feedback from the 
regulated industry and RSPA initiatives.

II. Summary of Comments

    RSPA received over 40 comments in response to the Docket HM-215B 
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), which was published in the 
Federal Register on October 25, 1996 (61 FR 55364). Comments were 
submitted by chemical manufacturers, trade associations, packaging 
manufacturers, and rail and vessel carriers. Commenters were supportive 
of RSPA's efforts to maintain alignment with international standards. 
Certain issues proposed in the NPRM received little or no comment. 
Other issues, including a proposed definition for ``aerosol,'' a 
proposed approval requirement for certain nitroglycerin mixtures, and 
various proposed changes for organic peroxides and explosives 
packagings, were the focus of most comments. Several commenters 
requested transitional provisions and other amendments to the HMR as 
part of this initiative. In this final rule, RSPA is providing a 
delayed compliance period for implementation of these changes; however, 
many other suggestions are beyond the scope of the proposed changes in 
this rule and first should be the subject of an NPRM to offer adequate 
opportunity for notice and comment.

III. Summary of Regulatory Changes by Section

    Listed below is a section-by-section summary of changes and, as 
applicable, a discussion of comments received.

Part 171

Section 171.7
    RSPA proposed to add or update various American Society for Testing 
and Materials (ASTM) standards, 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-4206-96), 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

[[Page 24691]]

Small Scale Closed Tester. This method is equivalent to ASTM D-3278 but 
specifically applies to testing petroleum products and lubricants. ASTM 
D 4206-96 Standard Test Method for Sustained Burning of Liquid Mixtures 
Using the Small Scale Open-Cup Apparatus is equivalent to the test 
method currently provided in Part 173, Appendix H-Method of Testing for 
Sustained Combustibility.
    In addition, RSPA proposed to incorporate the most current versions 
of the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, the UN 
Recommendations and the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. Updated 
references for the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions were 
adopted in a final rule published December 16, 1996 [61 FR 65958] with 
an effective date of June 1, 1997. Two references were proposed 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
    In the NPRM, RSPA proposed several new definitions, including a 
definition for ``Aerosol'' which is consistent with provisions of 
Sec. 173.306(a)(3). As noted in the NPRM, 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.
    RSPA received two comments opposing the proposed definition of 
``Aerosol''. Both commenters (a chemical manufacturing company and The 
Chemical Specialties Manufacturers Association (CSMA)) believed the 
definition in the HMR should be worded in the same manner as in the UN 
Recommendations. These commenters also claimed that the proposed 
definition may not cover foams, pastes, gels and other liquids which 
are not ejected in suspension in a gas. CSMA further noted that the 
proposed definition only recognizes metal aerosol containers while 
international standards authorize glass and plastic as materials of 
construction for aerosol containers.
    RSPA's proposed definition for ``Aerosol'' corresponds to current 
requirements for aerosols in Sec. 173.306(a)(3). Paragraph (a)(3) 
contains an authorization for the use of metal nonspecification 
packagings charged with a solution of materials and compressed gas or 
gases (i.e., aerosols) with certain restrictions applying to internal 
pressure, filling limits and testing of the container. The capacity of 
this container cannot exceed 50 cubic inches or 27.7 fluid ounces. 
These provisions apply only to solutions of materials and compressed 
gas or gases which are not poisonous (other than Division 6.1, Packing 
Group III materials). A final rule published October 28, 1991, under 
Docket HM-210 [56 FR 55471], was issued for clarification and to 
promote the safe transportation of gases shipped under limited quantity 
provisions. This final rule stated, in part:

    RSPA is concerned about the serious potential hazards posed by 
shipping flammable compressed gases, under limited quantity or 
consumer commodity provisions, when a compressed gas is the primary 
product and not merely an aerosol propellant additive. RSPA and its 
predecessor agencies never intended that gases other than those used 
as a propellant could be excepted from any of the HMR when a package 
has more than a 4-fluid ounce capacity.

Thus, current aerosol provisions in the HMR do not correspond to the 
aerosol definition in international standards, which authorizes a gas 
to be expelled ``without a liquid, paste, or powder.'' Nor does RSPA 
intend to adopt such a provision, because filling a container solely 
with a gas, such as butane, poses a significantly greater risk than 
filling the container with a liquid, paste or powder which is expelled 
by a butane gas due to greater quantities of gas contained in aerosols 
that do not contain liquid, paste or powder. Furthermore, in response 
to commenters' concern that the proposed definition may not cover 
foams, pastes, gels and other liquids which are not ejected in 
suspension in a gas, RSPA believes that because foams or gels would be 
considered liquids expelled by a gas, it is not necessary to 
specifically list them.
    Another difference between domestic requirements for aerosols and 
international standards is that the HMR authorize only metal 
containers, while non-metallic (e.g., made from glass or plastic) 
containers are authorized internationally. A November 13, 1995 response 
to a petition for reconsideration issued under Docket HM-215A [60 FR 
56957] emphasized that only metal aerosol containers are authorized for 
use. This document noted that ``RSPA is not aware of any proposed 
industry standards for the manufacture and use of aerosol containers 
other than those made of metal.'' Nor is RSPA aware of any subsequent 
ongoing action to propose industry standards for the manufacture and 
use of non-metallic aerosol containers.
    In addition, RSPA proposed corresponding changes in Secs. 171.11, 
171.12 and 171.12a to 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. These changes, as 
well as the definition for aerosols, are adopted as proposed in this 
final rule.
    RSPA also proposed definitions for ``SADT'' (self-accelerating 
decomposition temperature), salvage packagings and intermediate 
packagings. No comments were received on these proposed definitions, 
and they are adopted as proposed.
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. RSPA proposed 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. Commenters uniformly 
supported this proposal, stating that the change was compatible with 
international standards and that the ``Dangerous When Wet'' hazard is 
clearly communicated through indication of Division 4.3 as part of the 
basic shipping description and through use of Division 4.3 labels and 
placards. Therefore, RSPA is removing the requirement for ``Dangerous 
When Wet'' to appear on shipping papers in association with the basic 
description.
    RSPA also proposed that the words ``Toxic Inhalation Hazard'' be 
added as an alternative to ``Poison Inhalation Hazard'' or ``Inhalation 
Hazard'' and that ``Toxic'' or ``Toxic Gas'' be added as alternatives 
to ``Poison'' or ``Poison Gas''. A corresponding provision for shipping 
paper descriptions was proposed for Sec. 172.203(m). Two comments 
expressing opposing viewpoints were received. One commenter, an 
international chemical and industrial gases manufacturer, supported 
this proposal, stating that this alternative will simplify compliance 
when shipping materials poisonous by inhalation. The other commenter, a 
vessel carrier, believed consistency could be achieved through use of 
only the ``Toxic'' designation. This commenter claimed that providing 
an option for use of either term will confuse people in the field. RSPA 
does not agree and is adopting the alternative ``Toxic Inhalation 
Hazard'' as proposed in the NPRM. However, RSPA is not adopting 
proposed modifications to

[[Page 24692]]

POISON and POISON GAS label and placard references. These references 
were recently modified by the Docket HM-206 final rule [62 FR 1227] and 
RSPA believes additional modifications to these references are 
unnecessary.
    Also, as discussed above for Sec. 171.8, RSPA is adopting a 
provision to allow only aerosols meeting the definition of ``aerosol'' 
in Sec. 171.8 to be imported in accordance with the ICAO Technical 
Instructions, IMDG Code and TDG regulations.
Section 171.14
    A new paragraph (d) is added to provide a delayed implementation 
date for amendments adopted in this final rule. The effective date of 
this final rule is October 1, 1997. However, RSPA is authorizing an 
immediate voluntary compliance date to allow shippers to prepare their 
international shipments in accordance with the new ICAO, IMDG Code and 
HMR provisions. RSPA is also authorizing a delayed mandatory compliance 
with the new requirements, until October 1, 1998. This delay is 
comparable to the transition provisions provided in the final rule 
under Docket HM-215A and offers a sufficient phase-in period to 
implement new provisions and deplete current stocks of shipping papers, 
labels, placards, and containers affected by the new requirements. In 
addition, paragraph (d)(2) permits intermixing of old and new hazard 
communication requirements until October 1, 1998.

Part 172

Section 172.101
    A new paragraph (c)(14) is added to allow isomers of materials 
listed in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) which meet the same 
hazard class, subsidiary risk and packing group to be identified using 
the listed shipping description. One commenter suggested adding a 
provision to exclude isomers listed specifically in the HMT. RSPA 
agrees and is revising this paragraph to reflect the commenter's 
suggestion.
    A new paragraph (c)(15) is adopted to allow hydrates of inorganic 
substances to be described using the proper shipping name for the 
equivalent anhydrous material. In this final rule, RSPA is clarifying 
the proposed regulatory text to indicate that the hydrate must meet the 
same hazard class or division, subsidiary risk(s) and packing group of 
the equivalent anhydrous material, unless the hydrate is specifically 
identified in the Table.
    Paragraph (f) is revised to acknowledge that Division 6.2 materials 
(other than regulated medical waste) do not have packing group 
assignments.
    Changes to the HMT include:
    New Packing Group I entries 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 is added to numerous entries, consistent with the ninth 
revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Current entries that contain 
an italicized ``R'' number are revised to include the ``R'' number in 
Roman type as part of the ``Refrigerant gas'' alternative proper 
shipping name. One commenter engaged in reselling prepackaged 
refrigerants expressed concern that some refrigerant manufacturers 
would use the newly authorized ``Refrigerant gas, R ***'' proper 
shipping name while others would continue to use the current chemical 
name; consequently, a shipping paper description, package markings and 
emergency response information may not match. This commenter 
recommended that differences in proper shipping names resulting from 
mixed use of the original and alternative proper shipping name on 
markings, emergency response information and shipping papers be 
authorized indefinitely, as long as the same UN or NA identification 
number appears on the shipping paper, emergency response information, 
and package markings. RSPA does not agree. The HMT contains numerous 
entries providing an alternative proper shipping name. It is RSPA's 
opinion that to offer various mix and match provisions for such entries 
is impracticable and could result in greater confusion.
    Certain Class 1 entries assigned NA numbers for domestic 
transportation are removed. These include Explosive pest control 
devices and Propellant explosives (both liquid and solid). Domestic 
exceptions for these explosives are incorporated into the explosive 
packing instructions, where applicable.
    RSPA proposed a new entry and special provision for a nitroglycerin 
mixture containing more than 2 percent but not more than 10 percent 
nitroglycerin. The special provision sets forth a requirement that the 
Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety (AAHMS) must 
specifically authorize the nitroglycerin mixture as a Division 4.1 
material, as well as approve the assigned packing group and packaging 
method before the material may be transported as a Division 4.1 
material. A chemical manufacturer and several pharmaceutical 
manufacturers opposed this proposal. According to these commenters, a 
preparation consisting of 10% nitroglycerin is used in the treatment of 
acute angina attacks. They claimed that, unless this proposal is 
dropped or the domestic supplier of this material is granted an 
approval to ship the preparation as a Division 4.1 material, 
transporting this material as a Division 1.1D explosive would have a 
significant negative impact on the continued production and 
distribution of this product.
    RSPA does not agree. A certain preparation containing 10% 
nitroglycerin was considered to be a UN 0143, 1.1D explosive by the 
UNCOE in December 1994, based on the fact that the preparation 
detonated in the bonfire test prescribed in test series 6(c) of the UN 
Manual of Tests and Criteria. The UNCOE recognized that not all 
preparations containing 10% nitroglycerin behave the same. Therefore, 
the UNCOE adopted UN 3319 with a provision for each competent authority 
to authorize, either by approval or exemption, a preparation consisting 
of not more than 10% nitroglycerin as a Division 4.1 material based on 
test results. This provision is consistent with the existing provisions 
of Sec. 173.124(a)(1)(ii)(B) for desensitized explosive substances 
which require authorization, either by approval or exemption, by the 
AAHMS. RSPA believes that a 10% nitroglycerin preparation that will 
detonate in a fire should be considered a forbidden material according 
to Sec. 173.21(h). If the preparation is or may be explosive according 
to Sec. 173.54(a), it is forbidden for transport unless examined and 
approved under the provisions of Sec. 173.56. Depending on test 
results, the same preparation may be approved under Sec. 173.56 as a 
Division 4.1 material. RSPA does not believe the incorporation of UN 
3319 with a lengthy transition period for shippers to obtain an 
approval or exemption, where appropriate, would seriously threaten the 
production of nitroglycerin pharmaceutical treatments in the United 
States.
    New entries are 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'' are 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.'' are added. One commenter supported the proposal to change

[[Page 24693]]

packaging authorizations for ``Gas, refrigerated liquid'' to reference 
packagings for cryogenic liquids, but believed that packaging 
exceptions provided in Sec. 173.320 should be authorized for ``Gas, 
refrigerated liquid, n.o.s.'' and ``Gas, refrigerated liquid, 
oxidizing, n.o.s.'' The commenter claimed that this section should 
apply if the components of the mixture are exclusively various 
combinations of atmospheric gases and/or helium in cryogenic liquid 
form. RSPA agrees and is adding an exception in Column (8A) for these 
two entries.
    Several entries, such as Phenyl isocyanate and Phosphorous 
trichloride, are 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 results 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 is revising 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.
    Certain entries, such as Diphenylmethane-4,4'-diisocyanate and 
Methyl benzoate (which do not meet toxicity criteria for a Division 6.1 
Packing Group III material) are removed. These commodities were deleted 
from the List of Dangerous Goods in the ninth revised edition of the UN 
Recommendations.
    The packing group designation for ``Mercury, contained in 
manufactured articles'' is revised from Packing Group I to Packing 
Group III for consistency with the entry for ``Mercury'' and the ICAO 
Technical Instructions.
    To maintain consistency with the UN Recommendations, various proper 
shipping names are amended by the addition or removal of the word 
``compressed'', ``inhibited'', ``liquefied'' or ``solution''. Several 
commenters indicated that although they generally support the 
international harmonization effort and overall intent to maintain 
consistency between the HMR, the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code, and 
the ICAO Technical Instructions, they did not understand the basis for 
the addition or deletion of the words ``compressed,'' ``inhibited,'' `` 
liquefied'' or ``solution'' relative to clarifying certain existing 
shipping names. These amendments were adopted by the UNCOE, in part, to 
more effectively communicate the threat posed by certain materials in 
their different physical states, e.g., pressurized materials that may 
be transported as a liquid or as a gas. The description modifications 
were supported by several large industry groups at the time the UNCOE 
was considering the amendments.
    RSPA recognizes that revising proper shipping names to include or 
exclude these four modifiers to the key words identifying the hazardous 
materials poses problems that makes compliance difficult in the one-
year period provided in Sec. 172.101(l)(1)(ii). Those difficulties and 
the associated additional costs of compliance were highlighted in 
comments provided by several shippers and carriers of industrial gases. 
In consideration of those comments, RSPA is providing an exception in 
Sec. 172.101(l)(3) that obviates the need for shippers and carriers to 
make special arrangements to remark bulk or non-bulk packagings used in 
the transportation of the affected hazardous materials within one year 
following the effective date of this rule. Rather, when the proper 
shipping name of a hazardous material is modified only by the addition 
or omission of the word ``compressed,'' ``inhibited,'' `` liquefied'' 
or ``solution,'' its packaging may be marked with the previously 
prescribed proper shipping name for that material for a period of five 
years following the effective date of this rule. The extended 
compliance period is intended to allow re-marking to be accomplished in 
association with the periodic five-year retest required for most bulk 
packagings.
    To minimize the effects of other amendments, RSPA is incorporating 
an extended transition period comparable to that provided in Docket HM-
215A. This will allow industry time to deplete current stocks of pre-
printed shipping papers, labels and packagings affected by the new 
shipping names and to implement the changes within their respective 
companies, including providing any necessary training to employees.
    Two commenters pointed out a conflict in the proposed addition of a 
Division 5.1 subsidiary risk label for the entry ``Carbon dioxide and 
oxygen mixtures''. RSPA has stated previously that this subsidiary risk 
should be recognized only when a mixture contains a concentration of 
oxygen greater than 23.5%, requiring a subsidiary risk label for this 
entry without regard to the amount of oxygen in the mixture is 
inconsistent. Although the UN Recommendations prescribe a subsidiary 
5.1 risk label without any distinctions, RSPA agrees with these 
commenters. Therefore, a new Special Provision 77 is added to limit the 
requirement for this subsidiary risk label to mixtures having an oxygen 
concentration greater than 23.5% for domestic transportation. In 
addition, RSPA intends to bring this inconsistency to the attention of 
the UN Committee of Experts.
    RSPA is adjusting quantity limits for certain materials identified 
as poisonous by inhalation when transported by passenger or cargo 
aircraft or passenger railcar. Many of these changes are consistent 
with current quantity limits prescribed in the ICAO Technical 
Instructions. Certain other materials are forbidden for transportation 
by aircraft or passenger railcar because they have been identified as 
meeting the criteria for 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) combining entries for ``Chlorite solution'' and ``Hypochlorite 
solutions''; (4) removing ``Methyl alcohol'' as an authorized proper 
shipping name for ``Methanol'' but retaining it in italics as a cross 
reference; (5) adding a Class 3 subsidiary risk in Column (6) for 
several entries; and (6) creating a new entry for ``Aerosols (engine 
starting fluid)'' to indicate that these aerosols are prohibited on 
both passenger and cargo only aircraft.
    RSPA is not incorporating various entries suggested by commenters 
that were not proposed in the NPRM. As noted previously, these 
suggestions are beyond the scope of the proposed changes in this rule 
and should be subject to notice and comment.
Appendix B to Sec. 172.101
    RSPA proposed to add, remove or revise a number of entries in the 
HMR's List of Marine Pollutants. These changes are based on Amendment 
27 (to the extent not already incorporated in HM-215A) and Amendment 28 
of the IMDG Code. Currently, Appendix B contains a duplicate entry for 
``Maneb or Maneb preparations''; however, one entry has supplemental 
information in Roman type, while the supplemental information in the 
other entry is shown in italics. RSPA proposed to remove the entry 
listed in all Roman type. One

[[Page 24694]]

commenter indicated that the other entry should be retained for 
consistency with the IMDG Code. The commenter is correct; RSPA is 
retaining the entry ``Maneb or Maneb preparations with not less than 60 
per cent maneb.'' In addition, several commenters suggested various 
other revisions to the list and RSPA has amended the list accordingly.
Section 172.102
    A new special provision 15 is added as proposed to prescribe 
quantity limits and packaging for chemical kits and first aid kits. 
Other special provisions are 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, and Ferrocerium.
    RSPA proposed to assign Special Provision 30 to the international 
entry for ``Sulfur'' to indicate that this material is not subject to 
the HMR when transported in a non-bulk packaging or if formed in a 
specific shape. The Sulphur Institute strongly supported this change 
and recommended rewording Special Provision 30 by removing the phrase 
``when transported domestically''. RSPA agrees and this special 
provision is revised accordingly.
    One commenter suggested RSPA revise Special Provision 47 to 
incorporate a special provision adopted in the ICAO Technical 
Instructions which allows small packagings consisting of sealed packets 
containing less than 10 ml of a Packing Group II or III flammable 
liquid absorbed onto a solid material to be excepted from the HMR if no 
free liquid is present in the packet. The commenter believed this 
provision is consistent with a previous letter of opinion RSPA issued 
concerning alcohol wipes and should be adopted as an ``A'' special 
provision, at a minimum, for consistency with ICAO. RSPA agrees and is 
incorporating this exception into Special Provision 47 to apply to all 
modes of transport.
    RSPA proposed to add a new special provision A25 to authorize 
polyester resin kits in certain quantities to be packaged in non-
specification packagings for transportation by aircraft. One commenter 
suggested removing this special provision, as well as Special Provision 
40 (which currently is assigned to polyester resin kits), and 
incorporating all packaging provisions for polyester resin kits in 
Sec. 173.152. After further consideration, RSPA agrees and is adding 
specific packaging provisions in Sec. 173.152 applicable to all modes 
of transport for polyester resin kits.
    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 is 
assigned to this entry to permit certain non-specification bulk 
packagings for these products. Commenters representing the aluminum 
industry responded favorably to this proposal. A commenter suggested 
two modifications--one to add a new special provision applicable to 
both non-bulk and bulk packaging to include certain materials which 
exhibit corrosivity at PG II and III levels and the other to allow both 
special provisions to apply to ``magnesium granules.'' RSPA is adding a 
new Special Provision 128 and revising Sec. 172.101 Table entries for 
UN 3096 and UN 3131 (Packing Groups II and III) to allow aluminum 
smelting by-products and aluminum remelting by-products which are 
described by a generic proper shipping name because they meet the 
criteria for both Division 4.3 and Class 8, to be packaged in 
accordance with Special Provision B115. However, RSPA is not expanding 
this provision to include non-bulk packagings, nor will Magnesium 
granules be assigned B115. In the NPRM, RSPA proposed a special 
provision for aluminum by-products which would eliminate the need for 
DOT Exemption DOT-E-11602. RSPA does not believe it appropriate at this 
time to adopt, without public notice and comment, new provisions which 
go beyond the relief authorized in DOT-E-11602 and proposed in the 
NPRM.
    Special Provision N50, which provides an exception from Class 9 
labeling for marine pollutants that are not hazardous substances or 
hazardous wastes, is removed. A corresponding change is made in Column 
7 of the HMT to remove Special Provision N50 for the entries 
``Environmentally hazardous substance, liquid (or solid) n.o.s.''
Section 172.203
    RSPA is removing 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. 
Commenters uniformly supported this proposal and stated that the change 
was compatible with international standards and that the ``Dangerous 
When Wet'' hazard is clearly communicated through indication of 
Division 4.3 as part of the basic shipping description, emergency 
response information on the shipping paper, and use of Division 4.3 
labels and placards.
    The list of generic proper shipping names which require inclusion 
of a technical name in paragraph (k)(3) is amended by adding several 
entries for hydrocarbon gases, hydrocarbon gas mixtures, and 
compressed, liquefied or refrigerated gases which have a subsidiary 
hazard of oxidizer or flammability. In addition, RSPA is adding the 
entry for ``Organometallic compound, water reactive, flammable, 
n.o.s.'' which was inadvertently omitted in a previous rulemaking 
action.
    As discussed previously in Secs. 171.11, 171.12 and 171.12a, RSPA 
is adding the word ``Toxic'' and the phrase ``Toxic-Inhalation Hazard'' 
in paragraph (m)(3) as an alternative to ``Poison''. RSPA proposed the 
addition of 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. One commenter believed this 
exception should not apply to materials poisonous by inhalation, which 
require additional shipping paper information to communicate the 
presence of a fatal inhalation hazard. The commenter believed the 
proposal was ill conceived and not beneficial to safety. After further 
consideration, RSPA believes that this proposed exception may not be 
appropriate for any material meeting toxicity criteria, not just a 
toxic by inhalation hazard material. Therefore, proposed paragraph 
(m)(4) is not adopted in this final rule.

Part 173

Section 173.3
    Paragraph (c)(3) is amended to authorize the word ``SALVAGE'' as an 
alternative marking for salvage drums. In addition, a new paragraph 
(c)(7) is added to allow the use of salvage packagings which have been 
certified and marked to UN standards. RSPA is not adopting other 
marking requirements specified 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

[[Page 24695]]

additional costs incurred by such marking and performance testing 
requirements are not justified because salvage packaging provisions 
currently prescribed in the HMR are adequate.
    Two commenters addressed proposed changes to this section and both 
supported RSPA's decision to retain current salvage packaging 
provisions. For example, the Steel Shipping Container Institute 
maintained that it could not support complete harmonization with 
international salvage packaging standards until it has been clearly 
determined that incidents of failure in salvage packagings meeting the 
UN standards are less than those meeting current HMR requirements.
Section 173.21
    The last sentence of paragraph (f) is amended to correctly 
reference the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.
Section 173.32c
    Currently an IM portable tank or its compartment having a volume 
greater than 5000 liters must have a minimum filling density of 80%. 
RSPA proposed to increase the minimum tank or compartment size to 7500 
liters, consistent with international standards. One commenter claimed 
that RSPA's proposal did not go far enough and indicated that a filling 
restriction on portable tanks used solely for domestic highway 
transport is unjustified and precludes shippers from transporting 
relatively small quantities of hazardous materials in portable tanks. 
The commenter believed that a filling restriction of less than 80% for 
IM portable tanks or compartments should not apply to transport by 
highway. This commenter also stated that the purpose of the ``80% 
rule'' was to preclude hydraulic surge that could make adequate 
securing of portable tanks aboard vessels difficult and potentially 
dangerous, but that surge is not a safety concern in highway transport.
    RSPA disagrees that surge is not a safety concern in highway 
transport of IM portable tanks. Portable tanks, when mounted on a 
vehicle chassis, may have a higher center of gravity as compared to 
standard cargo tank trucks. The effects of liquid movement and its 
destabilizing effect at high speed and during abrupt turning can 
contribute to roll-over. This effect is most predominant when ullage is 
greater than 20%. Furthermore, it is RSPA's opinion that information 
supplied by this commenter does not provide sufficient incentive for 
RSPA to expand relief beyond that proposed in the NPRM. RSPA may 
consider this matter further in future rulemaking action on the basis 
of pertinent technical justification (e.g., data indicating forces 
experienced during transport of portable tanks as a result of cargo 
surge).
Section 173.34
    Because of a printing error, in the table in paragraph (e)(18)(i), 
for DOT 8 or 8AL cylinders used to transport acetylene, under ``Porous 
filler requalification,'' the year ``2001'' is corrected to read 
``2011'.
Section 173.60
    As proposed, amendments to this section are consistent with the UN 
Recommendations, are largely editorial and serve to streamline and 
consolidate general requirements for packaging explosives while 
eliminating redundant and unnecessary requirements. These amendments 
are intended to more clearly convey general packaging requirements 
applicable to packaging explosives for transportation and do not impose 
new requirements.
    RSPA received one comment from a company specializing in explosives 
regulatory compliance. This commenter recommended adding a reference to 
Sec. 173.24(e) at the end of Sec. 173.60(b)(8) and dropping proposed 
(b)(8) because (b)(9) addresses compatibility. RSPA does not agree. 
Section 173.60(b)(8) specifically addresses loose explosive substances 
or the explosives substance of a uncased or partly cased article which 
may present a sifting hazard from the package. However, RSPA believes 
it may be useful to add the explanatory reference to Sec. 173.24(e) at 
the end of Sec. 173.60(b)(9).
Section 173.62
    RSPA proposed new explosives packaging methods in the Explosives 
Table which were developed by the UNCOE, based on comments received 
from the Department of Defense and explosive industry representatives, 
and on competent authority approvals and exemptions issued to shippers 
of explosives. These new methods are significantly more flexible than 
the methods currently prescribed in the Explosives Table and 
incorporate a broader range of options for authorized inner, 
intermediate and outer packagings. In several instances, inner and 
intermediate packagings are no longer required. Explosives Packing 
Instructions are consistent with those adopted in the ICAO Technical 
Instructions. In addition, many explosives (particularly those shipped 
under not otherwise specified (n.o.s.) entries) which currently require 
competent authority packaging approval are now assigned to specific 
packing methods eliminating the requirement for the competent authority 
to approve the packaging for these explosives.
    A commenter asked RSPA to revise a provision for jet perforating 
guns in proposed Packing Instruction US1 to allow a higher total 
explosives content per tool pallet, based on a current exemption 
authorizing this higher quantity of explosives. RSPA agrees and is 
revising US1 to authorize up to 90.8 kg (200 pounds) total explosive 
contents per pallet.
    Another commenter, the Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' 
Institute (SAAMI), recommended several changes to the proposed 
revisions. First, SAAMI believed the elimination of inner packaging 
requirements for ``Cartridges, small arms'' (UN0012) is inconsistent 
with Sec. 173.60 (b)(3) and (b)(5). RSPA does not agree. Only when 
metal outer packagings are used for UN0012, would Sec. 173.60(b)(3) 
require a means of prevention from contact with the cartridges. This 
means could be padding or partitions and not necessarily an inner 
packaging. These cartridges have their explosives substances enclosed 
in an outer casing and do not require separation according to 
Sec. 173.60(b)(3). RSPA believes the recessed primer well design of 
most cartridges for weapons effectively protects the article from 
accidental actuation. Shippers should add protection for articles that 
present an actuation hazard according to Sec. 173.60(b)(5), but that 
protection can be offered by means other than requiring an inner 
packaging.
    Secondly, SAAMI claimed that ``Small arms ammunition, ORM-D'' would 
require more stringent packaging under Sec. 173.63(b)(2) than 
``Cartridges, small arms'' classed as Division 1.4S and packaged in 
accordance with Packing Instruction 130. RSPA believes that more 
stringent packaging requirements for ORM-D materials (which are 
excepted from most shipping paper, marking, labeling and placarding 
provisions of the HMR) is appropriate. Furthermore, cartridges for 
weapons must be clearly identified, marked and labeled as Division 1.4S 
explosive articles.
    SAAMI also claimed that packaging requirements for ``Cases, 
cartridge, empty with primer'' (UN0055) are more stringent than for 
``Cartridges, small arms'' (UN0012). RSPA believes the inner packaging 
requirement for UN0055, primed cartridge cases, empty in Packing 
Instruction 136 is appropriate. These cases have an exposed explosive 
substance coated or deposited on the primer which could loosen and sift 
out of the outer

[[Page 24696]]

packaging without the inner packaging requirement.
    RSPA does not agree with SAAMI's contention that the wording in 
Packing Instruction 133, regarding the authorization of trays as inner 
packagings for certain explosives, is confusing. RSPA believes that 
listing UN identification numbers for which the use of trays as inner 
packagings is prohibited is clearer because nearly 50 percent fewer 
numbers are listed.
    Finally, SAAMI recommended that for ``Primers, cap type'' (UN0044), 
D9 and D11 limitations assigned to current Packing Method E-142 should 
be reinstated in Packing Instruction 133. RSPA does not agree. The 
harmonization of the HMR to international performance-oriented 
packaging requirements and with general packaging instructions for 
explosives has resulted in the successful elimination of many explosive 
quantity limitations per package. As a result, shipper compliance has 
become easier to achieve without increased risk to the public.
Section 173.120
    Paragraphs (a)(3) and (b)(3) are revised to include a reference to 
ASTM D 4206 and a new paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) is added to reference test 
method ASTM D 3828.
Section 173.124
    Amendments to the test methods for flammable solids, pyrophoric 
materials, self heating substances and water reactive materials are 
adopted as proposed. The Self-Reactive Materials Table is 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 is amended for 
consistency with the UN Recommendations. A reference to Appendix E 
(which is removed in this final rule) is replaced by references to the 
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.
    In paragraph (b), the UN burning rate test and criteria for 
classification is incorporated. The classification criteria for readily 
combustible materials is 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 metal or metal alloys are 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 are assigned to Packing Group II if the 
burning time is less than 45 seconds and the flame passes the wetted 
zone. Packing Group II is 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 is 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 is 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 is 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 are not 
subject to the requirements of the HMR.
    In paragraph (d), the packing group assignment criteria is revised 
for consistency with the UN Recommendations. These amendments do not 
significantly affect the packing group assignment criteria, but are 
purely editorial to clarify the meaning of ``spontaneous ignition.''
Section 173.127
    RSPA is revising the definition for solid oxidizers and adding 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 (which is removed in this final 
rule) are replaced by a reference to the UN Manual of Tests and 
Criteria.
    Paragraph (b)(1) is revised to include a statement indicating that 
the material must be tested in the concentration offered for transport. 
The criteria for packing group assignment is 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.
    Paragraph (b)(2) incorporates packing group assignment criteria for 
liquid oxidizers adopted in the ninth revised edition of the UN 
Recommendations. Incorporating specific criteria for liquid oxidizers 
provides a more precise means for shippers to classify these products 
and eliminates 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 is revised to reflect its correct title. Paragraph (e) is 
amended to update the reference to Figure 11.1 (Classification and 
Flowchart Scheme for Organic Peroxides).
Section 173.132
    A new paragraph (b)(3)(iii) is added to clarify when solid and 
liquid materials are required to be tested for acute toxicity by 
inhalation. One commenter recommended that RSPA remove the second 
sentence in paragraph (b)(3) because proposed (b)(3)(iii) not only 
addresses this issue but is more specific. RSPA does not agree. While 
there is some overlap, current (b)(3) provides more details of testing 
and new (b)(3)(iii) is more specific as to when tests must be run.
    Current paragraph (c) is redesignated as paragraph (d), and a new 
paragraph (c) is added to authorize three methods for use in 
classifying and assigning packing groups to mixtures of materials 
possessing oral and dermal toxicity characteristics. One commenter 
pointed out that the formula in paragraph (c) is missing a ``+'' 
between the second and third fractions and also is missing a note found 
in international standards. In this final rule, RSPA is inserting the 
``+'' between the second and third fractions. RSPA intentionally did 
not propose the additional note referenced by this commenter because 
the note provides optional information rather than imposing a 
regulatory requirement. However, for consistency with international 
standards and convenience of the reader, RSPA is adding the note at the 
end of paragraph (c).
Section 173.136
    A new paragraph (c) is added to clarify that skin corrosion test 
data developed prior to September 30, 1995, would continue to be valid. 
This revision is based on a statement in the preamble to the HM-215A 
final rule (December 29, 1994; 59 FR 67400) that RSPA would not require 
retesting of materials classified under the previous test method in 
Appendix A of Part 173.
Section 173.137
    Paragraph (b) is revised to clarify that, when determining whether 
a material

[[Page 24697]]

meets Class 8 Packing Group II, the material cannot meet Class 8 
Packing Group I .
Section 173.152
    Limited quantity provisions are added in paragraph (b)(4)(i) for 
polyester resin kits for transport by all modes.
Section 173.162
    A new sentence is 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 is revised to remove all references to ``seat-belt 
modules'', consistent with changes in the UN Recommendations. Packaging 
provisions in paragraph (e) are 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 also specifically 
authorizing dedicated handling devices.
Section 173.185
    This section is 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 adopting an authorization 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 also applies to lithium cells and batteries 
contained in equipment under specified conditions.
    RSPA is also expanding the types of packagings authorized for 
transporting cells and batteries by aircraft to include an array of 
boxes, drums and jerricans. Additionally, RSPA is eliminating 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 in water).
    One commenter indicated that his company's batteries would not pass 
all the tests specified in the UN Tests and Criteria for lithium 
batteries. RSPA believes the regulations as adopted provide an adequate 
alternative for lithium battery manufacturers. Under Sec. 173.185 (i), 
manufacturers who experience difficulty in meeting the UN Tests and 
Criteria for lithium batteries may apply for an approval provided they 
can demonstrate an equivalent level of safety.
Sections 173.201-173.203 and 173.211--173.213
    Aluminum jerricans, 3B1 or 3B2, are 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) is amended 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-Reactive Materials Table is amended by 
adding seven new entries. The Packing Method Table for Generic Types in 
paragraph (c)(3) is removed because the information is specifically 
listed in the Self-Reactive Materials Table, and paragraph (c)(4) is 
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 final rule, paragraph (b)(2) is 
amended 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 is 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) is 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, is removed. The Packing Method Table 
for Generic Types in paragraph (c)(3) is removed because the 
information is specifically listed in the Organic Peroxides Table, and 
paragraph (c)(4) is redesignated paragraph (c)(3).
    Paragraph (d) is 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.
    RSPA is authorizing bottom outlets for organic peroxides in bulk 
packagings by removing the prohibition in the last sentence of 
paragraph (e)(2) and removing paragraph (e)(3)(i)(B). Paragraph 
(e)(3)(i)(C) is redesignated paragraph (e)(3)(i)(B).
    Paragraph (e)(5) is revised to authorize the transport of 
stabilized peroxyacetic acid, type F (containing not more than 17 
percent peroxyacetic acid) in type 31A IBCs. A similar proposal made by 
the United States has been approved by the UN Committee of Experts for 
incorporation into the tenth revised edition of the UN Recommendations.
Section 173.226
    Paragraph (c)(1) is amended to add aluminum jerricans as an 
authorized packaging.
Section 173.315
    When the hazard class and division assigned to ``Methylamine, 
anhydrous'' was changed from Division 2.3 (poisonous gas) to Division 
2.1 (flammable gas), RSPA failed to correct the Sec. 173.315 table 
entry for this material by removing Notes 22 and 24. The table entry is 
being corrected in this final rule.
Sections 173.316 and 173.318
    RSPA proposed the addition of 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. A commenter expressed 
confusion as to whether this proposal would eliminate the need for DOT 
Exemption DOT-E-10001. RSPA is revising the proposed provisions in 
paragraphs (d) and (f)(4) of Secs. 173.316 and 173.318, respectively, 
to clarify that an approval, rather than an exemption, is needed.
Appendix E and Appendix F
    As proposed, the guidelines for classification and packing group 
assignment for Classes 4 and 5 are

[[Page 24698]]

removed. RSPA believes the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria is a more 
appropriate reference for these test methods. The NPRM stated that 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. One commenter objected to this 
proposal, claiming potential difficulty and expense in obtaining copies 
of the most current version of the UN Test Manual. RSPA does not agree. 
A copy of the current test manual is part of the HM-215B public record 
maintained by RSPA's Dockets Unit. Upon request to the RSPA Dockets 
Unit (202-366-5046), RSPA will reproduce and provide pertinent pages 
from the most current UN Test Manual.

Part 175

Section 175.10
    Paragraph (a)(22) is revised 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, is revised to correspond to 
proposed revisions in Sec. 176.905.
Section 176.84
    A new code 17 is added to prescribe segregation for a compressed or 
liquefied gas which is toxic, flammable and corrosive.
Section 176.905
    RSPA is revising requirements for transporting motor vehicles or 
mechanical equipment powered by internal combustion engines by vessel 
to take account of recent changes which have occurred in the IMDG Code 
and in response to comments received to the NPRM and 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 was removed and 
these materials were deregulated in Amendment 28 of the IMDG Code.
    Although RSPA did not propose total relief for the transport of 
motor vehicles by vessel, it proposed modifying 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 
without being subject to the HMR. Additionally, revised transport 
provisions for vehicles fueled with compressed gas and for certain 
battery-powered vehicles were proposed to provide clarity.
    One commenter suggested that RSPA remove this section from the HMR 
and provide total relief for the transport of mechanical equipment 
powered by internal combustion engine by vessel. RSPA believes that 
total relief would not be in the best interest of safety and that 
certain precautions which minimize the potential for hazardous 
materials incidents involving internal combustion-powered vehicles and 
equipment are warranted.
    Another commenter recommended that the motor vehicle carriage 
requirements in this section be adopted in the IMDG Code to alleviate 
the safety and practical problems that could arise with the 
deregulation of motor vehicles in Amendment 28 of the Code. Work at the 
International Maritime Organization to amend the IMDG Code is beyond 
the scope of this rulemaking. The commenter also noted that to require 
the fuel tank to be no more than one-fourth full is somewhat arbitrary 
and can be eliminated with an inspection for leaks prior to loading. 
RSPA does not agree. The purpose of the quarter tank requirement is to 
limit the amount of flammable vapors which would collect in an enclosed 
space such as a freight container should a fuel leak occur. Although 
fuel tanks sizes vary, RSPA believes that limiting the fuel present in 
a vehicle's tank is a valuable safety measure necessary to alleviate 
the hazard of an undetected leak during long ocean voyages. Therefore, 
the proposed requirement will remain unchanged. Finally, this commenter 
noted that paragraph (f) requires a fire extinguishing system capable 
of alerting personnel on the bridge of a ship, which should apply 
instead to the smoke or fire detection system discussed in paragraph 
(g). RSPA agrees and is revising this provision accordingly.
    Several provisions are added to incorporate transport safety 
measures included in recently issued motor vehicle exemptions that now 
allow transport of motor vehicles with batteries connected. These 
provisions include a requirement for an inspection of the vehicle's 
battery and associated equipment prior to loading and requiring the 
removal of a vehicle's ignition key.

Part 178

Section 178.511
    This section is amended to adopt requirements for aluminum 
jerricans consistent with the UN Recommendations. Packaging codes 3B1 
and 3B2 are added. Paragraph (b) is 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 are added. All inner receptacles must 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 must 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 is added to indicate that 
the outer packaging of 31HZ2 composite IBCs must enclose the inner 
receptacles on all sides. In paragraph (c)(3) a new requirement is 
added to indicate that inner receptacles of 31HZ2 composite IBCs must 
consist of at least three plies of film. In paragraph (c)(6), a new 
requirement is added to indicate 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'' are 
added to clarify that rigid plastic IBCs and composite IBCs with 
plastic outer packagings must be tested for 28 days at 40 deg.C 
(104 deg.F) when the plastic outer packagings bear the stacking load. 
IBCs with plastic outer packagings that are designed with metal corner 
posts to bear the stacking load are not required to be tested for 28 
days at 40 deg.C (104 deg.F), but must be subjected to the stacking 
test for 24 hours.

IV. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

A. 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 
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. The rule is not 
considered a significant rule under the Regulatory Policies and

[[Page 24699]]

Procedures of the Department of Transportation [44 FR 11034].
    The economic impact of this final rule is expected to result in 
only minimal costs to certain persons subject to the HMR and may result 
in modest cost savings to a small number of persons subject to the HMR 
and to the agency. Most of the revised requirements adopted in this 
rulemaking received industry-association support before the United 
Nations Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Of 
the comments received in this docket, few dealt with increased costs of 
compliance. Nevertheless, RSPA believes it adequately addressed the 
concerns of commenters focused on increased costs of compliance through 
its adoption of a five-year extended compliance period pertaining to 
package marking requirements. Because of the minimal economic impact of 
this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact analysis or a regulatory 
evaluation is not warranted.

B. Executive Order 12612

    This final 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:
    (1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous 
material;
    (2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and 
placarding of hazardous material;
    (3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents 
related to hazardous material and requirements related to the number, 
contents, and placement of those documents;
    (4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the 
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or
    (5) 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 final rule addresses covered subjects under items (1), (2), 
(3), and (5) 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 [insert date 180 days 
after issuance of 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 final rule incorporates changes adopted in the ninth revised 
edition of the UN Recommendations, the 1997-98 ICAO Technical 
Instructions, and Amendment 28 to the IMDG Code. It applies to offerors 
and carriers of hazardous materials and facilitates the transportation 
of hazardous materials in international commerce by providing 
consistency with international requirements.
    This final rule will affect small business entities that ship or 
transport hazardous materials, but any adverse economic impact should 
be minimal. Certain costs incurred through changes to hazard 
communication and classification requirements will be minimized through 
a lengthy optional compliance period, which will allow a sufficient 
phase-in period to implement new provisions and deplete current 
inventory affected by the new requirements. If changes already 
incorporated in international standards are not adopted in this final 
rule, U.S. companies, including numerous small entities competing in 
foreign markets, will be at an economic disadvantage by being forced to 
comply with a dual system of regulation.
    Based on readily available information concerning the size and 
nature of entities likely affected by this final rule, I certify this 
rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities under criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility 
Act.

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.

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.

[[Page 24701]]

    (d) A rule published in the Federal Register on May 6, 1997, 
effective October 1, 1997, resulted in revisions to this subchapter. 
During the transition period provided in paragraph (d)(1) of this 
section, a person may elect to comply with either the applicable 
requirements of this subchapter in effect on September 30, 1997, or the 
requirements of this subchapter in the May 6, 1997 final rule, in 
effect on October 1, 1997.
    (1) Transition date. On October 1, 1998, all applicable regulatory 
requirements adopted in the May 6, 1997 final rule in effect on October 
1, 1997 must be met.
    (2) Intermixing old and new requirements. Prior to the transition 
date in paragraph (d)(1) of this section, it is recommended that the 
hazard communication requirements be consistent where practicable, 
i.e., marking, labeling, placarding, and shipping paper descriptions 
should conform to either the old requirements of this subchapter in 
effect on September 30, 1997, or new requirements of this subchapter in 
the May 6, 1997 rule, in effect on October 1, 1997, without intermixing 
of communication elements. However, intermixing is permitted, during 
the applicable transition period, for packaging, hazard communication, 
and handling provisions, as follows:
    (i) If either shipping names or identification numbers are 
identical, a shipping paper may display the old shipping description 
even if the package is marked and labeled under the new shipping 
description;
    (ii) If either shipping names or identification numbers are 
identical, a shipping paper may display the new shipping description 
even if the package is marked and labeled under the old shipping 
description; and
    (iii) Either old or new placards may be used regardless of whether 
old or new shipping descriptions and package markings are used.

    28. Section 173.60 is 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.

[[Page 24720]]

    (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 (see 
Sec. 173.24(e)(2)).
    (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.
    29. Section 173.62 is 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) 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 Instruction 
prefixed by the letters ``US'' is 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 for Hazardous 
Materials Safety.

(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 Group 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.

    (iii) A solid substance should 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 should be tested if a mist is likely to be generated 
in a leakage of the transport containment. In carrying out the test 
both for solid and liquid substances, more than 90% (by mass) of a 
specimen prepared for inhalation toxicity testing 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, one of the following methods may be used to 
determine the oral or dermal LD50 of the mixture:
    (1) Obtain reliable acute oral and dermal toxicity data on the 
actual mixture to be transported;
    (2) If reliable, accurate data is not available, 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
    (3) If reliable, accurate data is not available, apply the formula:
    [GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR06MY97.000
    
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.

    Note to formula in paragraph (c)(3): This formula also may be 
used for dermal toxicities provided that this information is 
available on the same species for all constituents. The use of this 
formula does not take into account any potentiation or protective 
phenomena.

be in the ignition while the vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed 
aboard a vessel.
    (b) All equipment used for handling vehicles or mechanical 
equipment must be designed so that the fuel tank and fuel system of the 
vehicle or mechanical equipment are protected from stress that might 
cause rupture or other damage incident to handling.
    (c) Two hand-held, portable, dry chemical fire extinguishers of at 
least 4.5 kg (10 pounds) capacity each must be separately located in an 
accessible location in each hold or compartment in which any motor 
vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed.
    (d) ``NO SMOKING'' signs must be conspicuously posted at each 
access opening to the hold or compartment.
    (e) Each portable electrical light, including a flashlight, used in 
the stowage area must be an approved, explosion-proof type. All 
electrical connections for any portable light must be made to outlets 
outside the space in which any vehicle or mechanical equipment is 
stowed.
    (f) Each hold or compartment must be ventilated and fitted with an 
overhead water sprinkler system or fixed fire extinguishing system.
    (g) Each hold or compartment must be equipped with a smoke or fire 
detection system capable of alerting personnel on the bridge.
    (h) All electrical equipment in the hold or compartment other than 
fixed explosion-proof lighting must be disconnected from its power 
source at a location outside the hold or compartment during the 
handling and transportation of any vehicle or mechanical equipment. 
Where the disconnecting means is a switch or circuit breaker, it must 
be locked in the open position until all vehicles have been removed.
    (i) Exceptions. A motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is excepted 
from the requirements of this subchapter if the following requirements 
are met:
    (1) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment has an internal 
combustion engine using liquid fuel that has a flashpoint less than 38 
deg.C (100 deg.F), the fuel tank is empty, and the engine is run until 
it stalls for lack of fuel;
    (2) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment has an internal 
combustion engine using liquid fuel that has a flashpoint of 38  deg.C 
(100  deg.F) or higher, the fuel tank contains 418 liters (110 gallons) 
of fuel or less, and there are no fuel leaks in any portion of the fuel 
system;
    (3) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is stowed in a hold 
or compartment designated by the administration of the country in which 
the vessel is registered to be specially suited for vehicles. See 46 
CFR 70.10-44 and 90.10-38 for U.S. vessels;
    (4) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is electrically 
powered by wet electric storage batteries; or
    (5) The motor vehicle or mechanical equipment is equipped with 
liquefied petroleum gas or other compressed gas fuel tanks, the tanks 
are completely emptied of liquid and the positive pressure in the tank 
does not exceed 2 bar (29 psi), the line from the fuel tank to the 
regulator and the regulator itself is drained of all trace of (liquid) 
gas, and the fuel shut-off valve is closed.
    (j) Except as provided in Sec. 173.220(f) of this subchapter, the 
provisions of this subchapter do not apply to items of equipment such 
as fire extinguishers, compressed gas accumulators, airbag inflators 
and the like which are installed in the motor vehicle or mechanical 
equipment if they are necessary for the operation of the vehicle or 
equipment, or for the safety of its operator or passengers.
