Hazardous Materials Regulations: Minor Editorial Corrections and 
Clarifications

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), 
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). In addition, this final rule revises references to 
the former Research and Special Programs Administration to reflect the 
creation of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The 
intended effect of this rule is to enhance the accuracy, and reduce 
misunderstandings of the regulations. The amendments contained in this 
rule are minor changes and do not impose new requirements.

DATES: Effective date: September 28, 2005.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kurt Eichenlaub, Office of Hazardous 
Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials 
Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh 
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.

I. Background

    The Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act 
of 2004 reorganized the Department of Transportation's pipeline and 
hazardous materials safety programs that were formerly a part of the 
Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA). The Act created 
the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA, we), 
a separate operating administration. PHMSA annually reviews the 
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to identify 
errors that may confuse readers. In this final rule, we revise all 
references to RSPA to reflect the creation of PHMSA. This final rule 
also corrects the following inaccuracies: typographical and printing 
errors; incorrect references to regulations in the CFR; inaccurate 
office names, routing symbols, and e-mail addresses; inconsistent use 
of terminology; and misstatements of certain regulatory requirements.
    Because these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and 
public procedure are unnecessary. By making these amendments effective 
without the customary 30-day delay following publication, the changes 
will appear in the next revision of 49 CFR.
    The following is a summary by section of the changes made in this 
final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial corrections (e.g., 
punctuation errors), and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the 
clarity of the HMR (e.g., corrections to office names, routing symbols 
and e-mail addresses).

II. Section-by-Section Review

Part 107

    Appendix A to Subpart D of Part 107: In Appendix A to Subpart D of 
Part 107, in section IV, paragraph C, we are revising the reference to 
``49 U.S.C. 5213(a)'' to read ``49 U.S.C. 5123(a)''.

Part 171

    Section 171.6. In paragraph (b)(2), the table of OMB control 
numbers is revised to reflect current control numbers, report titles, 
and affected sections for collections of information.
    Section 171.8. In the definition for ``Maximum Allowable Working 
Pressure or MAWP,'' we are correcting the reference ``178.320(c)'' to 
read ``Sec.  178.320(a)''.
    Section 171.11. In paragraph (d)(6)(iv), we are amending the text 
by removing ``radioactive material'' and adding ``limited quantities of 
radioactive material'' in its place.

Part 172

    Section 172.101. The Hazardous Materials Table (HMT). We are 
correcting entries in the HMT as follows:
     The entry ``Adhesives, containing a flammable liquid,'' 
UN1133, PG I, II and III is revised by correcting the Column (2) 
Hazardous materials description and proper shipping name to read 
``Adhesives, containing a flammable liquid.'' In addition, for the 
Packing Group II entry, in the Column (10A) Vessel stowage 
``location,'' the entry ``A'' is revised to read ``B''. The correction 
appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aerosols, corrosive, Packing Group II or III, 
(each not exceeding 1 L capacity),'' UN1950 is revised by correcting 
the Column (2) Hazardous materials description and proper shipping name

exceeding 1 L capacity).'' The correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' 
in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aerosols, flammable, (each not exceeding 1 L 
capacity),'' UN1950 is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous 
materials description and proper shipping name to read ``Aerosols, 
flammable, (each not exceeding 1 L capacity).'' The correction appears 
as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aerosols, flammable, n.o.s. (engine starting 
fluid) (each not exceeding 1 L capacity),'' UN1950 is revised by 
correcting the Column (2) Hazardous materials description and proper 
shipping name to read ``Aerosols, flammable, n.o.s. (engine starting 
fluid) (each not exceeding 1 L capacity).'' The correction appears as a 
``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aerosols, non-flammable, (each not exceeding 1 
L capacity),'' UN1950 is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous 
materials description and proper shipping name to read ``Aerosols, non-
flammable, (each not exceeding 1 L capacity).'' The correction appears 
as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aerosols, poison, each not exceeding 1 L 
capacity,'' UN1950 is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous 
materials description and proper shipping name to read ``Aerosols, 
poison, each not exceeding 1 L capacity.'' The correction appears as a 
``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Alkaloids, solid, n.o.s. or Alkaloid salts, 
solid, n.o.s. poisonous,'' UN1544 is revised by correcting the Column

``Alkaloids, solid, n.o.s. or Alkaloid salts, solid, n.o.s. 
poisonous.'' In addition, for the Packing Group II entry, the Column 
(7) Special provision entry ``1P4'' is revised to read ``IP4.'' The 
correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Aluminum alkyl halides, solid,'' UN3461 is 
revised by correcting the Column (6) Label Codes entry ``4.23'' to read 
``4.3''.
     The entry ``Ammonium nitrate emulsion or Ammonium nitrate 
suspension or Ammonium nitrate gel, intermediate for blasting 
explosives,'' UN3375 is revised by correcting the Column (10B) Vessel 
stowage ``Other'' entry ``60, 66, 124'' to read ``48, 59, 60, 66, 
124''.
     The entry ``Cartridges, safety, see Cartridges for 
weapons, other than blank or Cartridges, power device (UN 0323)'' is 
revised by correcting the

or Cartridges, small arms.'' The correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' 
in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Chlorate and magnesium chloride mixture, 
solid,'' UN1459, Packing Group III is removed. This entry was 
inadvertently printed twice in the HMT.
     The entry ``Chlorate of potash, see Potassium chlorate,'' 
is removed and added back. The correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' 
in this rulemaking. This was done to assist the Federal Register in 
locating the correct ``Chlorate and magnesium chloride mixture, 
solid,'' UN1459, Packing Group III entry for removal. (see above)
     The entry ``Chloroacetophenone, CN, liquid,'' UN3416 is 
revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous materials description 
and proper shipping name to read ``Chloroacetophenone, liquid, (CN).'' 
In addition, the Column (7) Special provisions entry is corrected to 
read ``A3, IB2, N12, N32, N33, T7, TP2, TP13.'' The correction appears 
as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Chloroacetophenone, CN, solid,'' UN1697 is 
revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous materials description 
and proper shipping name to read ``Chloroacetophenone, solid, (CN).'' 
In addition, the Column (7) Special provisions entry is corrected to 
read ``A3, IB8, IP2, IP4, N12, N32, N33, N34, T3, TP2, TP13, TP33.'' 
The correction appears a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Cyclotrimethylenenitramine and octogen, 
mixtures, wetted or desensitized see RDX and HMX mixtures, wetted or 
desensitized etc.'' is added to the HMT. This entry was inadvertently 
removed under Docket HM-215G (70 FR 34381).
     The entry ``Denatured Alcohol,'' NA1987 is revised by 
correcting Column (7) to remove obsolete special provisions ``T 31'' 
and ``T 30.''
     The entry ``Etching acid, liquid, n.o.s., see Hydrofluoric 
acid, solution etc.'' is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous 
materials description and proper shipping name to read ``Etching acid, 
liquid, n.o.s., see Hydrofluoric acid, etc.'' The correction appears as 
a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
     The entry ``Fissile radioactive materials, see Radioactive 
material, fissile, n.o.s.'' is removed.
     The entry ``Gasoline,'' UN1203 is revised by correcting 
Column (7) Special provisions entries ``144, B33, T8'' to read ``144, 
B1, B33, T8.''
     The entry ``Hydrogen iodid solution, see Hydriodic acid,'' 
is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous materials description 
and proper shipping name to read ``Hydrogen iodide solution, see 
Hydriodic acid.'' The correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this 
rulemaking.
     The entry ``Nitrocresols, solid,'' UN2446 is revised by 
correcting the Column (7) Special provision entry ``TP3'' to read 
``IP3.''
     The entry ``Organometallic substance, liquid, water-
reactive, flammable,'' UN3399 is revised by correcting the Column (1) 
Symbols to add a ``G'' symbol.
     The entry ``Radioactive material, Type A package non-
special form, non fissile, or fissile excepted,'' UN2915 is revised by 
correcting Columns (8B) and (8C) to read ``415, 418'' and ``415, 419'' 
respectively.
     The entry ``Receptacles, small, containing gas (gas 
cartridges) non-flammable, without release device, not refillable and 
not exceeding 1 L capacity'' is added. This entry was inadvertently 
removed under Docket HM-215G (70 FR 34381).
     The entry ``Samples, explosive, other than initiating 
explosives,'' UN1090 is revised by correcting the Column (2) Hazardous 
materials description and proper shipping name to read ``Samples, 
explosive, other than initiating explosives.'' In addition, the Column 
(4) entry ``UN1090'' is revised to read ``UN0190'' and the Column 10B 
entry ``12E'' is removed. The correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in 
this rulemaking.

     The entry ``Trinitrochlorobenzene (picry1 chloride), 
wetted, with not less than 10% water by mass,'' UN3365 is revised by 
correcting the Column (2) Hazardous materials description and proper 
shipping name to read ``Trinitrochlorobenzene (picryl chloride), 
wetted, with not less than 10% water by mass.'' The correction appears 
as a ``Remove/Add'' in this rulemaking.
    Section 172.102. In paragraph (c)(1), in Special provision 144, we 
are correcting the reference ``40 CFR 180.12'' to read ``40 CFR 
280.12''. In paragraph (c)(1), we are editorially revising Special 
provision 132 for clarity. In paragraph (c)(4), in the Table 1.--IB 
CODES (IBC CODES), in the IB2 entry, a typographical error is 
corrected.
    Section 172.203. We are removing a requirement in paragraph (m) to 
include the word ``Poison'' or ``Toxic'' on a shipping paper if the 
fact that it is a poison is not disclosed in the shipping name or class 
entry. The requirement is no longer necessary because Sec.  
172.202(a)(2) requires the subsidiary hazard class(es) to be entered 
following the primary hazard class or division number.
    Section 172.322. We are adding a new paragraph (f) to reference the 
exception for marine pollutants in Sec.  171.4(c).

Part 173

    Section 173.3. In Sec.  173.3, paragraph (c) introductory text is 
amended to include the proper tense of the word ``place.'' In addition, 
grammatical errors were corrected for clarity.
    Section 173.4. In paragraph (a) (10), we are revising the text to 
remove an obsolete package marking statement.
    Section 173.134. In paragraph (c)(1)(ii), we are correcting the 
reference ``29 CFR 1910.103'' to read ``29 CFR 1910.1030''.
    Section 173.222. In paragraph (c)(2), we are correcting the 
conversion ``0.5 L (0.3 gallons)'' to read ``0.5 L (0.1 gallon)''.
    Section 173.227. In Sec.  173.227, in the section heading, a 
typographical error is corrected.
    Section 173.315. Section 173.315(a) is revised to clarify that UN 
portable tanks used to transport liquefied gas must be loaded and 
offered in accordance with Special Provision T50 in Sec.  172.102 and 
must otherwise comply with the requirements of Sec.  173.315.
    Section 173.403. In the definition for ``Radioactive instrument or 
article,'' we are correcting the wording ``such as an instrument such 
as an instrument'' to read ``such as an instrument''.
    Section 173.418. We are revising paragraph (e) to remove the 
reference to Column (8) of the HMT for authorized Type B packagings for 
pyrophoric Class 7 (radioactive) materials, because the entries for 
pyrophoric Class 7

[[Page 56086]]

(radioactive) materials no longer appear in the HMT.
    Section 173.421. We are correcting paragraph (a)(5) to state that a 
package may not contain fissile material unless excepted by Sec.  
173.453. Under Sec.  173.421(a)(5) a package is limited to contain 15 
grams or less of uranium-235. This package exception limit is actually 
in Sec.  173.453 not Sec.  173.426, and only applies to packages 
containing fissile material.
    Section 173.427. In paragraph (b)(5)(i), we are correcting the 
reference ``(Sec. Sec.  179.200, 179.201, 179.202 of this subchapter)'' 
to read ``(Sec. Sec.  173.31, and 179.201-1 to 179.201-11 of this 
subchapter)''.
    Section 173.465. In paragraph (c)(1), we are correcting the 
reference to ``Table 12'' to read ``Table 10''. Additionally, in column 
one of Table 10, we are correcting the wording ``Packaging mass'' to 
read ``Package mass''.

Part 176

    Section 176.144. In Sec.  176.144, in paragraph (a), in the ``TABLE 
176.144(a)--AUTHORIZED MIXED STOWAGE FOR EXPLOSIVES,'' for 
compatibility groups ``E'' and ``F'' a typographical error which 
occurred during the printing process is corrected.
    Section 176.905. In paragraph (i)(3), we are correcting the 
reference ``46 CFR 70.10-44'' to read ``46 CFR 70.10-1''.

Part 177

    Section 177.848. We are reinstating a prohibition for storing, 
loading and transporting cyanides and cyanide mixtures or solutions 
with acids if a mixture of the materials would generate hydrogen 
cyanide. In a final rule published January 24, 2005, under Docket No. 
PHMSA 03-16370 (HM-233; 70 FR 3304), we revised paragraph (c) by adding 
a cross-reference to the Sec.  173.12(e) exceptions from segregation 
requirements for storage, loading and transportation of cyanides, 
cyanide mixture or solutions with acids. We inadvertently removed the 
prohibition for loading, storage and transportation of cyanides, 
cyanide mixtures or solutions with acids when, if mixed the materials 
would generate hydrogen cyanide. In this final rule, we are reinstating 
the prohibition.

Part 178

    Section 178.245-1. In paragraph (e), we are correcting the 
reference ``Sec.  173.300'' to read ``Sec.  173.115''.
    Section 178.345-1. In paragraph (c), in the definition for 
``MAWP,'' we are correcting the reference ``Sec.  178.345-1(k)'' to 
read ``Sec.  178.320(a)''.
    Section 178.350. We are revising this section to clarify that the 
term ``Packaging manufacturer'' used in Sec.  178.3, for purposes of 
this section, means the person certifying that the package meets all 
requirements of Sec.  173.412.

Part 180

    Section 180.352. On December 20, 2004, we published a final rule 
under Docket Number RSPA-04-17036 (HM-215G). In that final rule, we 
added a new paragraph (d)(i)(iv) authorizing retests and inspections 
performed under paragraphs (d)(1)(i) and (d)(1)(ii) of this section to 
be used to satisfy the tests and inspections required of paragraph (b) 
of this section (69 FR 76186). However, an editorial error occurred 
during the printing process that caused the text in revised paragraphs 
(e) and (f) and the text in new paragraph (g) to be inadvertently 
omitted. The original intent of this change was to keep the ``repair'' 
and ``routine maintenance'' requirements in this section separate. 
Therefore, we are revising Sec.  180.352 to correct this editorial 
error.

III. Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking

    This final rule is published under authority of Federal hazardous 
materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49 U.S.C. 5101 et 
seq.). Section 5103(b) of Federal hazmat law authorizes the Secretary 
of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe transportation, 
including security, of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, 
and foreign commerce.

B. 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. This rule is not 
significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the 
Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Because this rule has no 
economic impact, it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory impact 
analysis.

C. Executive Order 13132

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This final rule 
does not adopt any regulation that: (1) Has substantial direct effects 
on the States, the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government; (2) imposes substantial direct compliance 
costs on State and local governments; or (3) preempts State law. PHMSA 
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.

D. Executive Order 13175

    This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles 
and 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 on Indian tribal governments, and does not preempt 
tribal law, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive 
Order 13175 do not apply, and a tribal summary impact statement is not 
required.

E. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13272, and DOT 
Procedures and Policies

    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.

F. 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 $120.7 
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.

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    There are no new information collection requirements in this final 
rule.

H. Environmental Impact Analysis

    There are no environmental impacts associated with this final rule.

I. 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

[[Page 56087]]

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.

Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553) to add, amend, or delete 
regulations. To propose or adopt changes to a regulation, PHMSA may 
issue one or more of the following documents. We publish the following

11. Section 106.45 is revised to read as follows:


Sec.  106.45  Tracking rulemaking actions.

    The following identifying numbers allow you to track PHMSA's 
rulemaking activities:
    (a) Docket number. We assign an identifying number, called a docket

[[Page 56089]]

number, to each rulemaking proceeding. Each rulemaking document that 
PHMSA issues in a particular rulemaking proceeding will display the 
same docket number. This number allows you to do the following:
    (1) Associate related documents that appear in the Federal 
Register.
    (2) Search the DOT Docket Management System (``DMS'') for 
information on particular rulemaking proceedings--including notices of 
proposed rulemaking, public comments, petitions for rulemaking, 
appeals, records of additional rulemaking proceedings and final rules. 
There are two ways you can search the DMS:
    (i) Visit the public docket room and review and copy any docketed 
materials during regular business hours. The DOT Docket Management 
System is located at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Plaza Level 
401, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
    (ii) View and download docketed materials through the Internet at 
http://dms.dot.gov.
    (b) Regulation identifier number. The Department of Transportation 
publishes a semiannual agenda of all current and projected Department 
of Transportation rulemakings, reviews of existing regulations, and 
completed actions. This semiannual agenda appears in the Unified Agenda 
of Federal Regulations that is published in the Federal Register in 
April and October of each year. The semiannual agenda tells the public 
about the Department's--including PHMSA's--regulatory activities. The 
Department assigns a regulation identifier number (RIN) to each 
individual rulemaking proceeding in the semiannual agenda. This number 
appears on all rulemaking documents published in the Federal Register 
and makes it easy for you to track those rulemaking proceedings in both 
the Federal Register and the semiannual regulatory agenda itself, as 
well as to locate all documents in the Docket Management System 
pertaining to a particular rulemaking.

the withdrawal notice in the Federal Register. After that time, PHMSA 
will consider your appeal to be a petition for rulemaking under Sec.  
106.100.
    (b) Appeal of a decision. If you appeal PHMSA's decision on a 
petition for rulemaking, your appeal document must reach us no later 
than 30 days from the date PHMSA served you with written notice of
