SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    This final rule corrects the inadvertent deletion of certain 
entries in the Sec.  172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) primarily 
made during the recent publication of 49 CFR Parts 100 to 185. These 
errors were the result of a misunderstanding concerning the amendatory 
language in final rules that affected the HMT, in particular, Docket 
HM-215E (July 31, 2003; 68 FR 44992).
    The amendments contained in this rule are minor changes and do not 
impose new requirements. Because these amendments do not impose new 
requirements, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. The 
following is a summary of the amendments made under this final rule.
    We are amending the HMT to correct certain entries as follows:
    1. The following entries, that were inadvertently removed, are 
being reinserted:

--``Adhesives, containing a flammable liquid, UN1133,'' Packing Groups 
I and III;
--``Coating Solution (includes surface treatments or coatings used for 
industrial or other purposes such as vehicle undercoating, drum or 
barrel lining) , UN1139,'' Packing Groups I and III;
--``Extracts, aromatic, liquid, UN1169,'' Packing Group III;
--``Flammable liquids, n.o.s., UN1993,'' Packing Groups II and III;
--``Hydrobromic acid, with not more than 49 percent hydrobromic acid, 
UN1788,'' Packing Group II;
--``Hydrocarbons, liquid, n.o.s., UN3295,'' Packing Groups II and III;
--``Organochlorine pesticides, liquid, toxic, flammable, flash point 
not less than 23 degrees C, UN2995,'' Packing Group I;
--``Paint including paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac solutions, 
varnish, polish, liquid filler, and liquid lacquer base, UN1263,'' 
Packing Groups I and III;
--``Paint related material including paint thinning, drying, removing, 
or reducing compound, UN1263,'' Packing Groups I and III;
--``Pentanes, UN1265,'' Packing Groups I;
--``Perfumery products with flammable solvents, UN1266,'' Packing Group 
III;
--``Printing ink, flammable or Printing ink related material (including 
printing ink thinning or reducing compound), flammable, UN1210,'' 
Packing Groups I and III;
--``Resin solution, flammable, UN1866,'' Packing Groups I and III;
--``Rubber solution, UN1287,'' Packing Group III;
--Tars, liquid, including road asphalt and oils, bitumen and cut backs, 
UN1999,'' Packing Group III; and
--``Wood preservatives, liquid, UN1306,'' Packing Group III.

    2. The first occurrence of the entry ``Organochlorine pesticides, 
liquid, toxic, flammable, flash point not less than 23 degrees C, 
UN2995,'' Packing Group III, is removed.
    3. The entry ``[PG II].,'' immediately preceding the entry 
``Pentanes, UN1265,'' is removed.
    4. The entry ``Gasohol gasoline mixed with ethyl alcohol, with not 
more than 20 percent alcohol, NA1203,'' Packing Group I, is replaced 
with ``Gasohol gasoline mixed with ethyl alcohol, with not more than 20 
percent alcohol, NA1203,'' Packing Group II.

II. Rulemaking Analyses and Notices

A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not a significant regulatory action under 
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and therefore, was not reviewed 
by the Office of Management and Budget. This final rule is not a 
significant rule under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the 
Department of Transportation [44 FR 11034]. Because there is no impact 
of this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact analysis is not 
warranted.

B. Executive Order 13132

    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 13175

    This final rule was analyzed in accordance with the principles and

[[Page 41968]]

criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and 
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule 
does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial direct 
compliance costs, and is required by statute, the funding and 
consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 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. Paperwork Reduction Act

    This final rule does not impose new information collection 
requirements.

F. 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 contained in the heading of 
this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the 
Unified Agenda.

G. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    This final 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.

List of Subjects in 49 CFR Part 172
