Hazardous Materials Regulations: Editorial Corrections and 
Clarifications

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

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor 
regulatory changes, and, in response to requests for clarification, 
improves the clarity of certain provisions in the Hazardous Materials 
Regulations (HMR). The intended effect of this rule is to enhance the 
accuracy and reduce misunderstandings of the HMR. The amendments 
contained in this rule are minor editorial changes and do not impose 
new requirements.

EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2001.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael G. Stevens, Office of 
Hazardous Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, Research and Special 
Programs Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    RSPA (we) annually reviews the HMR to identify and correct errors. 
Inaccuracies corrected in this final rule include typographical and 
printing errors, incorrect references to other rules and regulations in 
the CFR, inconsistent use of terminology, and misstatements of certain 
regulatory requirements. In response to inquiries RSPA received 
concerning the clarity of particular requirements specified in the HMR, 
certain other changes are made to reduce uncertainties.
    Because these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and 
public procedure are unnecessary. In addition, making these amendments 
effective without the customary 30-day delay following publication will 
allow the changes to appear in the next revision of 49 CFR.
    The following is a section-by-section summary of the amendments 
made under this final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial 
corrections (e.g., typographical, capitalization and punctuation 
errors), changes to legal authority citations and certain other

[[Page 45178]]

minor adjustments to enhance the clarity of the HMR.

Section-by-Section Review

Part 107

    Appendix A to Subpart D. The table in section II, Guidelines for 
Civil Penalties, is revised to correct typographical errors and column 
alignment for certain entries. No changes are made to baseline 
assessment dollar amounts for penalties. Also, we are adding paragraph 
designations to the corrected entries to facilitate our making

added to other entries as they are revised.

Protection Program which was withdrawn in a previous rulemaking. In the 
definitions of ``P.s.i.'', ``P.s.i.g.'', and ``P.s.i.a.'', the 
punctuated acronyms are removed for consistency with the changes made 
in a previous rulemaking (RSPA Docket No. 01-9567 (HM-189R)) that 
replaced these acronyms with their non-punctuated versions, i.e., 
``Psi'', ``Psia'', ``Psig'', throughout the HMR.

Regulatory 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 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is 
not significant according to the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of 
the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Because of the minimal 
economic impact of this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact 
analysis or a regulatory evaluation is not warranted.
B. Executive Order 13132
    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). Federal 
hazardous material transportation law, (49 U.S.C. 5101-5127) contains 
express preemption provisions at 49 U.S.C. 5125.
    RSPA is not aware of any State, local, or Indian tribe requirements 
that would be preempted by correcting editorial errors and making minor 
regulatory changes. This final rule does not have sufficient federalism 
impacts to warrant the preparation of a federalism assessment.
C. Executive Order 13084
    This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and 
criteria contained in Executive Order 13084 (``Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this rule would 
not significantly or uniquely affect the communities of the Indian 
tribal governments, the funding and consultation requirements of this 
Executive Order do not apply.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    I certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic 
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule makes minor 
editorial changes which will not impose any new requirements on persons 
subject to the HMR; thus, there are no direct or indirect adverse 
economic impacts for small units of government, businesses or other 
organizations.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
    This rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $100 
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments, in the 
aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome 
alternative that achieves the objective of the rule.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
    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. There are no new information collection requirements in 
this final rule.
G. 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.
