I. Executive Summary

In this final rule, PHMSA is amending the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to incorporate changes adopted
in the IMDG Code, the ICAO Technical Instructions, and the UN Model
Regulations, effective January 1, 2013. These changes ensure the
domestic hazard classification, hazard communication and packaging
requirements are consistent with those employed throughout the world.
Federal law and policy strongly favor the harmonization of domestic
and international standards for hazardous materials transportation. The
Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat law; 49
U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) directs PHMSA to participate in relevant
international standard-setting bodies and encourages alignment of the
HMR with international transport standards to the extent practicable
while recognizing that deviations may at times be necessary to be
consistent with the public interest (see 49 U.S.C. 5120). Harmonization
facilitates international trade by minimizing the costs and other
burdens of complying with multiple or inconsistent safety requirements
for transportation of hazardous materials. Harmonization has also
become increasingly important as the volume of hazardous materials
transported in international commerce grows. Safety is often enhanced
by creating a uniform framework for compliance. PHMSA actively
participates in relevant international standard-setting bodies and
promotes the adoption of standards consistent with the high safety
standards set by the HMR.
The foreign trade of chemicals is a large segment of the United
States economy. In 2000, U.S. foreign trade in chemicals totaled $154
billion and generated a $6 billion positive trade balance. The
consistency of regulations reduces regulatory compliance costs and
helps to avoid costly frustrations of international shipments. PHMSA's
continued leadership in maintaining consistency with international
regulations enhances the hazardous materials safety program and assists
in maintaining a favorable trade balance.

II. Background

PHMSA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) under Docket
HM-215L (77 FR 49167, August 15, 2012) to incorporate various
amendments to harmonize the HMR with recent changes to the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions. When
considering alignment of the HMR with international standards, we
review and evaluate each amendment on its own merit, on the basis of
its overall impact on transportation safety, and on the basis of the
economic implications associated with its adoption into the HMR. Our
goal is to harmonize without diminishing the level of safety currently
provided by the HMR or imposing undue burdens on the regulated
community.
Based on this review and evaluation, in this final rule, PHMSA is
amending the HMR to incorporate changes from the 17th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations, Amendment 36-12 to the IMDG Code, and the
2013-2014 ICAO Technical Instructions, which become effective January
1, 2013 (The IMDG Code is effective January 1, 2013; however, the
previous amendment may continue to be used until January 1, 2014).
Notable amendments to the HMR in this final rule include the following:
Update references to international regulations including
the ICAO Technical Instructions, the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea, the IMDG Code, the UN Model Regulations, the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous
Goods Regulations and various technical standards.
Add, revise, or remove certain proper shipping names,
hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging
authorizations, bulk packaging requirements, and passenger and cargo
aircraft maximum quantity limits from the Hazardous Materials Table
(HMT).
Adopt new HMT entries for chemical under pressure and
specify acceptable bulk and non-bulk packagings, filling limits and
appropriate segregation requirements.
Adopt an exception for the transport of aircraft batteries
aboard passenger aircraft in excess of the quantity limits specified in
column 9A of the HMT.

[[Page 989]]

Revise the vessel stowage provisions in column 10 of the
Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT).
Adopt minimum size requirements for the ``UN'' or ``NA''
markings specified in Sec. 172.301.
Adopt changes throughout Part 173 (packaging requirements)
to: (1) authorize the use of wood as a material of package construction
for certain explosives; (2) authorize the use of metals other than
steel or aluminum for drums and boxes; and (3) where appropriate,
permit the use of non-removable head drums in those instances where
removable head drums are otherwise authorized.
Adopt a new packaging definition, operational controls,
performance-oriented standards, and testing requirements for Flexible
Bulk Containers (FBCs).

Below is a listing of major amendments to the international
transportation regulations that we proposed for adoption into the HMR,
a brief synopsis of the comments we received regarding those proposals
and PHMSA's position regarding the comments. Additional comments are
addressed in the section-by-section analysis section.
Incorporation by Reference
In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to incorporate by reference the latest
editions of various international transport standards including the
2013-2014 ICAO Technical Instructions, Amendment 36-12 of the IMDG
Code, the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, and the
Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations to include
Amendments 8, 9, and 10. Finally, PHMSA proposed the incorporation by
reference of new and updated standards published by the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). PHMSA received general support from
the commenters on the principle of harmonizing the U.S. regulations
with international transport and technical standards. We did not
receive any comments that opposed our proposals to incorporate these
standards and will adopt them in this final rule.
Chemical Under Pressure
In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to amend the HMT to include individual
entries for chemical under pressure and incorporate other safety
requirements including, but not limited to, quantity and filling limits
and packaging and segregation requirements. PHMSA received one comment
on this proposal from 3M in support of the proposals to add entries for
chemical under pressure. 3M requested we authorize the use of non-
refillable cylinders larger than 1.25 liters containing flammable gas
consistent with the UN Model Regulations. PHMSA's intent regarding the
chemical under pressure entry was to comprehensively align the
requirements of this entry with international standards. In this final
rule we are revising the packaging requirements for chemical under
pressure to authorize the use of non-refillable cylinders larger than
1.25 liters for chemical under pressure.
Aircraft Batteries
In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to revise the HMR to permit the
transport of wet cell aircraft batteries and lithium ion aircraft
batteries aboard passenger aircraft in excess of the quantity limited
specified in column 9A of the HMR. PHMSA received comments from Saft
and PRBA in support of these proposed amendments because these changes
would further harmonize the HMR with the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Both Saft and PRBA cite a requirement in the ``FAA Modernization and
Reform Act of 2012'' (Sec. 828, Pub. L 112-95; 126 Stat. 133 (Feb 14,
2012)) (FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012) that states the
Secretary of Transportation, including a designee of the Secretary, may
not issue or enforce any regulation or other requirement regarding the
transportation by aircraft of lithium metal cells or batteries or
lithium ion cells or batteries, whether transported separately or
packed with or contained in equipment, if the requirement is more
stringent than the requirements of the ICAO Technical Instructions, and
state that the NPRM proposal would be more restrictive than
requirements in the ICAO Technical Instructions. The commenters noted
that as proposed in the NPRM, the exception would only apply when an
air carrier was transporting its own replacement items, whereas the
2013-2014 ICAO Technical Instructions does not impose this restriction.
In this final rule PHMSA has revised this exception to ensure full
alignment with the ICAO Technical Instructions and FAA Modernization
and Reform Act of 2012 statutory requirements.
Vessel Stowage Requirements
In the NPRM, we proposed to revise the vessel stowage location
requirements for explosives and reduce the number of explosive stowage
categories from 15 to 5 in column (10A) of the HMT. IVODGA and SAAMI
supported the proposed assignment of vessel stowage requirements for
certain small arms cartridges consistent with the IMDG Code.
Size Requirements for ``UN'' or ``NA'' Markings
The HMR details the general marking requirements for non-bulk
packages in Sec. 172.301 including the proper shipping name, the
``UN'' or ``NA'' number technical names as applicable and the consignee
or consignor's name and address. In the NPRM, we proposed to adopt
minimum size requirements for the ``UN'' or ``NA'' markings and provide
a one year transition period. This action was consistent with recent
changes adopted in the UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code and the ICAO
Technical Instructions.
PHMSA received comments from the DGAC, Dow, HWI, Stericycle, and
Veolia. DGAC and Dow requested an effective date of no earlier than
January 1, 2017 for this requirement to allow for the depletion of
finished products and labels and preprinted packaging stock. Veolia
suggested the character size limit should only apply to international
hazardous materials shipments. HWI and Stericycle note that the
proposed

[[Page 990]]

change would impose an unnecessary economic burden since they employ
reusable packaging permanently marked with the UN number or pre-printed
shipping labels that may not meet proposed minimum size marking. In
response to these comments, we will delay the effective date of this
requirement until January 1, 2017 and permit packages permanently
marked prior to this date to remain in use until the end of their
useful life. This will minimize the economic impact of this requirement
and provide a suitable period to permit the depletion of preprinted
packages.
Flexible Bulk Containers
In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to adopt a new packaging definition,
operational controls, performance-oriented standards, and testing
requirements for Flexible Bulk Containers (FBCs). The proposed FBC
requirements are modeled after the FBC requirements adopted into the
17th revised edition of the UN model Regulations. IVODGA and DGAC
support the introduction of FBCs and since we received no adverse
comments to these proposals, we will adopt these requirements as
proposed.
Amendments Proposed in the NPRM But Not Adopted in the Final Rule
In this section, PHMSA discusses changes not adopted in the final
rule as a result of comments in response to the August 15, 2012 Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM).
Used Medical Devices
The UN Model Regulations have been amended to exempt medical
devices or equipment potentially contaminated with or containing
infectious substances which are drained of free liquids from all other
requirements of the UN Model Regulations. In the August 15, 2012 NPRM,
PHMSA proposed to amend Sec. 173.134, ``Class 6, Division 6.2-
Definitions and Exceptions'' to adopt additional exemptions for medical
devices and equipment. PHMSA received one comment from COSTHA opposing
our adoption of these changes to the HMR. COSTHA noted that the ICAO
Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) has reviewed and has chosen not to adopt
the provisions for transportation by aircraft. COSTHA also noted that
changes to the HMR before ICAO has adopted the change would lead to
confusion and disharmony. COSTHA further noted that papers will be
presented to both the UN and ICAO in an attempt to alter the current
exceptions for used medical devices.
The HMR has long standing provisions for the transport of
potentially contaminated medical devices, some tied to provisions in 29
CFR, concerning the domestic shipment of such goods. Pending further UN
changes and consultation with the Centers for Disease Control, PHMSA
will not adopt the proposed changes to Sec. 173.134 in this final
rule.
Fuel in Machinery
Prior to the publication of the 17th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations, the transport of large amounts of fuel in machinery
was not specifically addressed in international transport regulations.
In the most recent biennium of the UNSCOE, some experts expressed
concerns about the transport of large amounts of fuel in machinery.
This concern led the international community to adopt in the 17th
Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations a special provision
associated with fuel-related Class 3 entries.
Special Provision 363, as adopted in the UN Model Regulations,
requires an article that contains fuel in excess of the limited
quantity authorized amount and is ineligible to be described as
Dangerous Goods in Machinery or Apparatus, UN3363, to conform to
several general provisions to avoid being subject to the remainder of
the HMR. In the August 15, 2012 NPRM, PHMSA proposed the addition of SP
363 for transportation by vessel to various Class 3 fuels modeled on
the corresponding special provision adopted in the UN Model
Regulations. PHMSA received three comments (Caterpillar, DGAC, &
IVODGA) concerning our proposed adoption of special provision 363.
Both DGAC and Caterpillar were opposed to PHMSA's adoption of
special provision 363. Caterpillar stated that PHMSA's proposed
addition of special provision 363 was not based on sufficient data
demonstrating the revision would improve transport safety. Caterpillar
also stated that the change would introduce conflicting requirements
and regulatory uncertainty and would be excessively burdensome. DGAC
stated that the adoption of special provision 363 would introduce
conflicting requirements and regulatory uncertainty, and highlighted a
proposal they will present to the UN to clarify special provision 363.
Caterpillar noted that the proposal in the August 15, 2012 NPRM
does not demonstrate through data obtained via scientific methodology
any connection between the proposed revision and enhanced reductions in
risks to people and the environment for all affected shipments.
Caterpillar and DGAC noted that the adoption of the changes proposed in
the NPRM creates conflicting requirements under the HMR for shipments
of generators and machinery.
Caterpillar also commented that proposed special provision 363 is
excessively burdensome and would result in millions of dollars of
expenditures for unnecessary transport related costs that would
ultimately raise the consumer price of affected shipments.
IVODGA supported the adoption of special provision 363, stating
concern that many fuel storage components within such machinery may not
meet UN Performance Oriented Packaging or bulk tank specifications.
IVODGA recommended PHMSA adopt special provision 363 as proposed to
help prevent frustrated shipments at ports of discharge and loading in
the United States.
PHMSA will not adopt special provision 363 in this final rule. This
decision not to adopt special provision 363 is based on several
factors. The first was a lack of concrete safety or incident data that
indicated a need for increased regulation of domestic shipments of
machinery and equipment containing fuel in amounts over the authorized
limited quantity amount for that particular fuel. Also PHMSA believes
that to adopt this special provision would require a review of existing
requirements for UN3166, and possibly UN3366 that has yet to take
place. PHMSA would like to note that even though we are not adopting
special provision 363, shippers offering hazardous materials in
accordance with Subpart C of Part 171 may utilize the IMDG Code,
including special provision 363, if all or part of the movement is by
vessel. PHMSA would also like to note that a shipper utilizing the IMDG
Code to offer cargo to a vessel for transport must still comply with
special provision 363 under the IMDG Code. PHMSA will likely revisit
the need to incorporate special provision 363 after a determination is
made at the UN on pending papers concerning the implementation of this
special provision.
Requirements for Salvage Pressure Receptacles
The 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations adopted
guidelines for Competent Authorities to use when issuing approvals for
salvage pressure receptacles. These revisions are found in Chapter 1.2,
4.1, 5.4, and 6.2 of the UN Model Regulations. Specifically, these
requirements address the

[[Page 991]]

packaging, hazard communication, and safe transport of salvage pressure
receptacles, also known as salvage cylinders in the United States.
The HMR currently address the packaging, hazard communication, and
safe transport of salvage cylinders in Sec. 173.3(d) and do not
require approval of the Associate Administrator to do so. Accordingly,
PHMSA did not propose adopting this provision in the August 15, 2012,
NPRM. During the comment period, PHMSA was alerted that Chemically
Speaking has filed a petition (P-1596) that requests PHMSA amend the
HMR to add Class 4 and Class 5 hazardous materials to the hazard
classes authorized in salvage cylinders. While this petition has merit,
we did not receive it in time to address in this rulemaking. We will
consider this petition in a future rulemaking.
Additional Clarification on the Requirements for Lithium Batteries
On August 15, 2012, PHMSA published an NPRM associated with this
rulemaking (RIN 2137-AE87, 77 FR 49168). In the NPRM, no specific
amendments were proposed regarding the requirements for the air
transportation and handling of lithium batteries. However, in that
NPRM, PHMSA did propose the incorporation by reference of the 2013-2014
Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions which covers the air
transportation of lithium batteries. This final rule adopts that
provision and will incorporate the 2013-2014 Edition of the ICAO
Technical Instructions by reference. Upon adoption of this provision,
for purposes of the HMR a shipment of lithium batteries would be
permitted to be transported by air in accordance with the 2013-2014
Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions (with the exception of
primary lithium batteries and cells aboard passenger carrying aircraft
and unapproved prototype lithium batteries and cells aboard passenger
carrying aircraft) or the applicable requirements currently specified
in the HMR (see Sec. Sec. 171.24(d)(1)(ii), and 171.24(d)(1)(iii)).
Incorporation by reference of the 2013-2014 Edition of the ICAO
Technical Instructions will allow shippers and carriers to choose which
method of compliance is appropriate to the specific shipment. This
Final Rule (RIN 2137-AE87; PHMSA-2012-0027) does not have any bearing
on regulatory decisions associated with Docket HM-224F, (RIN 2137-AE44;
PHMSA-2009-0095). PHMSA is requesting additional comment on various
issues related to the air transportation and handling of lithium
batteries in a separate Notice, under the Docket for that rulemaking
(RIN AE44; PHMSA-2009-0095).

IV. Section-By-Section Review

The following is a section-by-section review of the amendments
adopted in this final rule:

Part 171

Section 171.7
Section 171.7 provides a listing of all standards incorporated by
reference into the HMR. For this rulemaking, we evaluated updated
international consensus standards pertaining to proper shipping names,
hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging
authorizations, air transport quantity limitations, and vessel stowage
requirements and determined that the revised standards provide an
enhanced level of safety without imposing significant compliance
burdens. These standards have a well-established and documented safety
history; their adoption will maintain the high safety standard
currently achieved under the HMR. Therefore, we are adding and revising
the incorporation by reference materials under the following
organizations:
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, 2011-
2012 Edition is revised to incorporate the 2013-2014 Edition.
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS)
Amendments 2002, Chapter II-2/Regulation 19, Consolidated Edition 2004
is revised to incorporate the 2009 Consolidated Edition.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Fuel cell
technologies--Part 6-1: Micro fuel cell power systems--Safety, IEC/PAS
62282-6-1:2006(E), First Edition 2006-02, with Corrigendum 1, First
Edition 2007-04 is removed and replaced with Fuel cell technologies--
Part 6-100: Micro fuel cell power systems--Safety, IEC 62282-6-
100:2010, Edition 1.0, March 2010 and Amendment 1 to IEC 62282-6-100,
October 12, 2012. FCHEA requested we incorporate the recently approved
Amendment 1 to the International Electrotechnical Commission standard
for micro-fuel cell cartridges as well as a request for a slight
alteration in the way we reference the document. In this final rule we
will incorporate by reference amendment 1 to the IEC international
standard and change the wording used to reference the document.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) International
Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, 2010 Edition, Incorporating Amendment
35-10, English Edition, Volumes 1 and 2 is revised to incorporate the
2012 Edition, Amendment 36-12.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) entries
for ``ISO 10156:1996, Gases and Gas Mixtures--Determination of fire
potential and oxidizing ability for the selection of cylinder valve
outlets, Second edition, February 1996 (E)'' and ``ISO 10156-2:2005,
Gas cylinders--Gases and gas mixtures--Part 2: Determination of
oxidizing ability of toxic and corrosive gases and gas mixtures, First
edition, August 2005, (E)'' are removed and replaced with an entry for
``ISO 10156:2010: Gases and gas mixtures--Determination of fire
potential and oxidizing ability for the selection of cylinder valve
outlets, Third edition, March 2010.''
The entry ``ISO 4126-1: Safety valves--Part 1: General
requirements, December 15, 1991, First edition'' is revised to the
entry ``ISO 4126-1:2004(E): Safety devices for protection against
excessive pressure--Part 1: Safety valves, Second edition 2004-02-15.''
The entry ``ISO 11117, Gas cylinders--Valve protection caps and valve
guards for industrial and medical gas cylinders--Design, construction
and tests, First edition, August 1998, (E)'' is revised to the entry
``ISO 11117:2008(E): Gas cylinders--Valve protection caps and valve
guards--Design, construction and tests, Second edition, 2008-09-01.''
The entry ``ISO 11117:2008/Cor.1:2009(E): Gas cylinders--Valve
protection caps and valve guards--Design, construction and tests,
Technical Corrigendum 1, 2009-05-01'' is added.
The entries ``ISO 4126-7:2004(E): Safety devices for protection
against excessive pressure--Part 7: Common data, First Edition 2004-02-
15,'' ``ISO 4126-7:2004/Cor.1:2006(E): Safety devices for protection
against excessive pressure--Part 7: Common data, Technical Corrigendum
1, 2006-11-01,'' and ``ISO 13340:2001(E) Transportable gas cylinders--
Cylinder valves for non-refillable cylinders--Specification and
prototype testing, First edition, 2004-04-01'' are added.
The Transport Canada entry, Transportation of Dangerous Goods
Regulations, including Clear Language Amendments 1 through 7 is revised
to include Amendments 8, 9 and 10.
The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods--Model Regulations, 16th Revised Edition (2009), Volumes I and
II, is revised to incorporate the 17th

[[Page 992]]

Revised Edition (2011), Volumes I and II.
The United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods--Manual of Tests and Criteria, Fifth Revised Edition (2009), is
revised to incorporate Amendment 1 (2011). One commenter (DGAC)
requested that we do not require compliance with the lithium battery
testing requirements contained in Amendment 1 for lithium cells and
batteries manufactured before January 1, 2014. Since PHMSA has
specified a delayed compliance date of January 1, 2014 for this final
rule, compliance with Amendment 1 will only be required for lithium
cells and batteries manufactured on or after January 1, 2014.
In addition to the revisions and additions above, PHMSA is
restructuring Sec. 171.7 to comply with National Archives and Records
Administration requirements for centralized IBR section formatting.
This change is not intended to remove or change any IBR materials
previously incorporated by reference, with the exception of those
references mentioned above.
Section 171.8
This section defines terms generally used throughout the HMR that
have broad or multi-modal applicability. PHMSA is adding the following
defined terms:
Aircraft battery: This term means a battery designed in accordance
with a recognized aircraft battery design standard (e.g. FAA technical
standard order) that is capable of meeting all aircraft airworthiness
requirements and operating regulations.
Currently the HMR does not define aircraft battery. The recent
amendment of special provision A51 in the ICAO TI require PHMSA to
define this term to ensure appropriate application of this special
provision.
Flexible Bulk Container (FBC): This term means a flexible container
with a capacity not exceeding 15 cubic meters and includes liners and
attached handling devices and service equipment.
Currently the HMR do not prescribe requirements for the transport
of FBCs. In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting various transportation
and manufacturing requirements for FBCs. Prior to adoption of such
standards, the term ``Flexible Bulk Container'' must be defined.
Therefore we are adopting the above definition of an FBC based on the
definition for FBC adopted in the IMDG Code and 17th Revised Edition of
the UN Model Regulations.

Part 172

Section 172.101
Section 172.101 provides instructions for using the Hazardous
Materials Table (HMT) and the HMT itself. In this final rule, PHMSA is
revising the instructional text that precedes the HMT.
Paragraph (c) of Sec. 172.101 describes the information indicated
in column 2 of the HMT. Column 2 lists the hazardous materials
descriptions and proper shipping names of materials designated as
hazardous materials. Paragraph (c)(10) of Sec. 172.101 prescribes how
mixtures or solutions not identified specifically by name are
described.
PHMSA is revising Sec. 172.101(c)(10) to incorporate language
adopted in the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations that
states mixtures and solutions must meet the definition of one or more
hazard classes to be classified as a hazardous material. This change
will clarify that for a mixture or solution composed of one or more
components that are classified as a hazardous material, the resulting
mixture or solution must meet the definition of one or more hazard
classes to be classified as a hazardous material.
Paragraph (k) of Sec. 172.101explains the purpose of column (10)
of the HMT and prescribes the vessel stowage and segregation
requirements for specific entries in the HMT. Column (10) is divided
into two columns: column (10A) [Vessel stowage] specifies the
authorized stowage locations on board cargo and passenger vessels and
column (10B) [Other provisions] specifies special stowage and
segregation provisions.
We are modifying these instructions by revising the vessel stowage
location requirements for explosives and reducing the number of
explosive stowage categories from 15 to 5. Specifically, the explosive
stowage categories 6 through 15 will be eliminated and stowage
categories 1 through 5 will be modified. Changes to the explosive
stowage categories are necessary because, as part of this final rule,
PHMSA is removing magazine stowage Types ``A,'' ``C,'' and special
stowage from Part 176 with the consolidation of authorized explosive
stowage categories. The authorized explosive stowage categories will be
replaced with a new term of art ``Closed cargo transport units for
Class 1 (explosives).'' Included in this definition are freight
containers or transport vehicles that are structurally serviceable in
accordance withSec. 176.172, portable magazines conforming to Sec.
176.137, and small vessel compartments (i.e., mast lockers and deck
house). These changes will require Class 1 materials to be shipped in
closed cargo transport units as defined above when stowed on deck.
Hazardous Materials Table (HMT)
In this final rule, PHMSA is amending the HMT. Readers should
review all changes for a complete understanding of the amendments. For
purposes of the Government Printing Office's typesetting procedures,
changes to the HMT appear under three sections of the Table,
``remove,'' ``add,'' and ``revise.'' Certain entries in the HMT, such
as those with revisions to the proper shipping names, appear as a
``remove'' and ``add.'' Amendments to the HMT include the following:
New HMT Entries.
UN3497 Krill meal
This new HMT entry is created because krill meal has a chemical
composition that is significantly different from that of fish meal. It
contains a natural stabilizing substance (ethoxyquin) and the fat
content of krill meal is higher than that of fish meal. The UN numbers
established for fish meal are restricted to maximum fat contents, which
makes these UN numbers not applicable to krill meal.

UN3498 Iodine monochloride, liquid
This new HMT entry is a result of the division of the proper
shipping name Iodine monochloride into two authorized proper shipping
names; one for the liquid state of the commodity and another for the
solid state. Solid shipments of Iodine monochloride remain assigned to
UN1792.

UN3499 Capacitor, electric double layer (with an energy storage
capacity greater than 0.3 Wh)

This new HMT entry covers capacitors with an energy storage
capacity greater than 0.3 Wh. Capacitors are assigned as a Class 9
miscellaneous hazardous material and measures required to prevent short
circuit are provided in special provision 361.

UN3500 Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.
UN3501 Chemical under pressure, flammable, n.o.s.
UN3502 Chemical under pressure, toxic, n.o.s.
UN3503 Chemical under pressure, corrosive, n.o.s.
UN3504 Chemical under pressure, flammable, toxic, n.o.s.
UN3505 Chemical under pressure, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s.

The ``Chemical under pressure. n.o.s.'' HMT entries are added to
address shipments of liquids or solids (e.g.,

[[Page 993]]

adhesives, coatings, and cleaners) combined with a gas or gas mixtures
utilized to expel the contents from pressure vessels. The primary
hazard class for these shipments is determined by the hazard presented
by the propellant and any subsidiary risk is determined by the
properties of the liquid or solid under pressure. Toxic gases are not
permitted as propellants.

UN3506 Mercury contained in manufactured articles

This new entry was created to separately address manufactured
articles containing mercury. The international community provided an
exception from regulation for instruments and articles containing not
more than 1 kg of mercury, when transported by means other than
aircraft. PHMSA is unable to adopt a comparable exception as the
reportable quantity for mercury is 0.454 kg (1.00 lbs.), but is
revising the current exception authorized in Sec. 173.164(e) for
shipments containing less than 0.454 kg (1.00 pound) to include
transportation by vessel.

UN1950 Aerosols, corrosive, Packing Group II or III (each not exceeding
1 L capacity).

This new entry was inadvertently removed from the HMT due to an
incorrect amendatory instruction in a September 13, 2011 final rule (76
FR 56304; HM-244D). The entry is being placed back into the HMT.
Removed HMT Entries
UN3492 Toxic by inhalation liquid, corrosive, flammable, n.o.s. with an
inhalation toxicity lower than or equal to 200 ml/m3 and saturated
vapor concentration greater than or equal to 500 LC50
UN3493 Toxic by inhalation liquid, corrosive, flammable, n.o.s. with an
inhalation toxicity lower than or equal to 1000 ml/m3 and saturated
vapor concentration greater than or equal to 10 LC50

These entries are removed from the HMT due to their similarity to
UN3488 and UN3489 respectively. The sole difference between these
entries is the order of subsidiary risks, which does not affect the
classification and transport conditions applied to shipments of these
substances. As a result, PHMSA is removing identification numbers
UN3492 and UN3493 to avoid confusing shippers in determining which
identification numbers to use.
Amendments to the Column (1) Symbols
Section 172.101(b) describes column (1) of the HMT and the
associated symbols that may be indicated in the column. In accordance
with Sec. 172.101(b), the symbol ``G'' identifies proper shipping
names for which one or more technical names of the hazardous material
must be entered in parentheses in association with the basic
description on a shipping paper. In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a
``G'' to column (1) for ``UN1707, Thallium compounds, n.o.s.'' The
addition of a ``G'' to this entry will provide notification of the
technical name of this toxic material and thus aid emergency responders
with providing an appropriate response.
Amendments to the Column (2) Hazardous Materials Descriptions and
Proper Shipping Names
Section 172.101(c) describes column (2) of the HMT and the
requirements for hazardous materials descriptions and proper shipping
names. Among other requirements, in accordance with Sec.
172.101(c)(1), proper shipping names indicated in column (2) of the HMT
may be used in the singular or the plural form interchangeably.
Regardless, in this final rule, PHMSA is revising several entries in
the HMT to remove the plural ending letter ``s'' to provide continuity
with the internationally accepted proper shipping names. Specifically,
PHMSA is removing the letter ``s'' from: UN1107, Amyl chlorides;
UN1111, Amyl mercaptans; UN1113, Amyl nitrites; and, UN2347, Butyl
Mercaptans.
Generally the physical state (solid or liquid) appears before the
hazard characteristics (toxic, flammable, etc.) in the sequence of
wording used in proper shipping names specified in column (2) of the
HMT. In some instances, the hazard characteristics are indicated before
the physical state. In this final rule, PHMSA is revising several
proper shipping names to indicate the physical state before the hazard
characteristics for consistency in formatting.
Current proper shipping names:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
UN No. Proper shipping name
------------------------------------------------------------------------
3276...................................... Nitriles, toxic, liquid,
n.o.s.
3278...................................... Organophosphorus compound,

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

A new proper shipping name ``Cartridges for tools, blank'' is
assigned to identification number UN0014. This proper shipping name
more appropriately describes industrial blank cartridges currently
described as ``UN0323, Cartridges, power device'' or ``ORM-D or ORM-D-
AIR, Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening devices).'' In
the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to remove the ``ORM-D'' entry for
``Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening devices)''
because the proper shipping name for such articles is now ``Cartridges
for tools, blank'' under identification number UN0014. Subsequent
changes were proposed to Sec. 173.63 and the Sec. 172.102(c)(1)
special provision 347 to replace any references to ``ORM-D or ORM-D-
AIR, Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening devices)''
with the new description ``UN0014, Cartridges for tools, blank (used to
project fastening devices).'' Additionally, such articles are not
subject to the UN Test Series 6(d) previously required under special
provision 347. The description ``UN0323, Cartridges, power device''
will remain subject to special provision 347.
PHMSA received one comment from SAAMI noting that the proposed
domestic only entry for Cartridges for tools, blank (used to project
fastening devices) was unnecessary and should be deleted. SAAMI also
asked for the retention of the ORM-D entry for Cartridges, power device
until the end of the transition period for its use. SAAMI raised
concerns over packaging manufactured and marked to meet current HMR
requirements. SAAMI stated that existing packaging inventory will be
depleted during 2013, but industry will not be ready to stop using

[[Page 994]]

the old markings for ORM-D ``Cartridges, power device'' on January 1,
2013, and that HM-215K provided a deadline of December 31, 2013 to
accomplish this transition. PHMSA agrees and is retaining the entry
Cartridges power device (used to project fastening devices) and will
not be adopting a domestic only entry for Cartridges for tools, blank.
The proper shipping name for ``UN1305, Vinyltrichlorosilane,
stabilized'' is amended by removing the term ``stabilized'' for
consistency with the Dangerous Goods Lists of the various international
standards and the HMT of the HMR. The revised proper shipping name for
UN1305 is ``Vinyltrichlorosilane.''
The 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations amended the
qualifying text (text in italics) for UN Nos. 3381-3390 and UN Nos.
3488-3491. The changes to these entries' qualifying or modifying text
in italics would change the wording from ``with an inhalation toxicity
lower than or equal to'' to ``with an LC50 lower than or equal to.''
This terminology change better identifies the criteria used to
determine the proper classification of these substances.
Amendments to the Column (4) Identification Numbers
Section 172.101(e) describes Column (4) of the HMT and the
designation of the identification number to each proper shipping name.
With the addition of a separate identification number (UN3506) for the
description ``Mercury contained in manufactured articles,'' PHMSA is
removing the description that is currently assigned to ``UN2809,
Mercury.''
Amendments to the Column (6) Label(s)
Section 172.101(g) describes Column (6) of the HMT and the labels
required (primary and subsidiary) for specific entries in the HMT. Data
presented to the UN Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods (UNCOE) in this last biennium indicated a need for the addition
of subsidiary risk of Division 6.1 (toxic) to be assigned to ``UN2809,
Mercury'' and to the new entry ``UN3506, Mercury contained in
manufactured articles.'' We note that for air transport, Special
provision A191 provides relief from the labeling and documentation
requirements of this new subsidiary risk.
In addition to the changes above, data was also presented to the
UNCOE that indicated the need for a subsidiary risk of Division 6.1
(toxic) to be assigned to UN2381 Dimethyl disulfide.
PHMSA is making appropriate amendments to the HMT to account for
these revisions to the UN Model Regulations.
Amendments to the Column (7) Special Provisions
Section 172.101(h) describes Column (7) of the HMT and the Sec.
172.102(c) Special provisions assigned to specific entries in the HMT.
The particular modifications to the entries in the HMT are discussed
below. See Section 172.102 special provisions for a detailed discussion
of the additions, revisions, and deletions to the special provisions
addressed in this final rule.
Several HMT entries are revised to include special provision B120.
Special provision B120 indicates that the material, when offered in
conformance with the applicable requirements of Part 178 and general
packaging requirements in Part 173, may be offered for transportation
in a Flexible Bulk Container. See Section 172.102 special provisions
for a detailed discussion of special provision B120.
In this final rule, special provision B120 is assigned to the
following entries:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proper shipping name UN No.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naphthalene, crude or Naphthalene, refined............ UN1334
Sulfur (domestic and international entries)........... UN1350
Calcium nitrate....................................... UN1454
Magnesium nitrate..................................... UN1474
Potassium nitrate..................................... UN1486
Sodium nitrate........................................ UN1498
Sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate mixtures......... UN1499
Ammonium nitrate, with not more than 0.2% total UN1942
combustible material, including any organic
substance, calculated as carbon to the exclusion of
any other added substance............................
Ammonium nitrate based fertilizer..................... UN2067
Paraformaldehyde...................................... UN2213
Environmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s..... UN3077
Sodium perborate monohydrate.......................... UN3377
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate........................ UN3378
------------------------------------------------------------------------

New special provision 222 is added to the ORM-D entries for
Cartridges, small arms, and Cartridges power device (used to project
fastening devices). See Section 172.102 Special provisions for a
detailed discussion of the addition of special provision 222.
The entry for UN1008 Boron trifluoride is assigned new special
provision 238. See Section 172.102 Special provisions for a detailed
discussion of the addition of special provision 238.
Special provision A51 is added to authorize the transport of
aircraft batteries consistent with the provisions of the 2013-2014 ICAO
Technical Instructions.
The portable tank code assigned to ``UN 1203, Gasoline'' was
inadvertently changed from T4 to T8 in a rulemaking under Docket Number
PHMSA-2009-0151 (HM-218F) [76 FR 43510]. As this was an inadvertent,
but consequential change, PHMSA is amending the entry for Gasoline to
indicate T4 as the appropriate portable tank code.
With the addition of a Division 6.1 (toxic) subsidiary risk to
``UN2381, Dimethyl disulfide,'' the portable tank codes and portable
tank provisions are revised as follows:

T4 is replaced by T7
TP1 is replaced by TP2, TP13, and TP39

See Section 172.102 Special provisions for a detailed discussion of
our addition of special provision TP39.
Review of the ``Guiding Principles for the Development of the UN
Model Regulations (Guiding Principles)'' indicates that in some cases,
the portable tank instructions for the transport of Division 4.3 liquid
materials are not consistent with the Guiding Principles, and, in other
instances, relevant portable tank special provisions were missing or
incorrectly assigned. The following are revisions with deletions
indicated by a

[[Page 995]]

strikethrough and additions or replacements shown in bold font.
[GRAPHIC] [TIFF OMITTED] TR07JA13.000

See Section 172.102 Special provisions for a detailed discussion of
the addition of special provision TP41.
Special provisions A100 and A103 are revised to clarify that the
weight (mass) limitations specified are net and not gross amounts for
secondary lithium batteries. See Section 172.102 Special provisions for
a detailed discussion of the revision of special provisions A100 and
A103.
Special provision A191 is added to note that regardless of the
Division 6.1 (toxic) subsidiary risk indicated in the HMT, the toxic
subsidiary risk label and an indication of the subsidiary risk on the
shipping paper are not required for manufactured articles containing
less than 5 kg (11 pounds) of mercury. This special provision is
assigned to the entry ``UN3506, Mercury contained in manufactured
articles.''
Special provision A200 is added to require that certain articles
may not be transported by passengers or crewmembers, on their person or
in their baggage and are to be shipped as cargo when transported via
aircraft. Under certain circumstances, the articles affected by this
special provision may be excepted from the requirements of the HMR.
When these articles are not subject to the regulations, there is the
potential for them to be inappropriately carried aboard an aircraft. In
response to this safety concern, the ICAO Technical Instructions were
revised to clarify that when transported by aircraft, these articles,
regardless of whether they are otherwise excepted from the regulations,
must be transported as cargo and may not be carried onboard an aircraft
by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or
on their person unless specifically excepted by Sec. 175.10,
``Exceptions for Passengers, Crewmembers, and Air Operators.''
Consistent with the revised ICAO Technical Instructions requirement,
PHMSA is adopting the special provision restricting these items from
being carried aboard an aircraft by passengers and crewmembers.
This special provision is assigned to the following entries:
``UN3166, Engines, internal combustion or Engines, fuel cell, flammable
gas powered''; ``UN3166, Engines, internal combustion or Engines, fuel
cell, flammable liquid powered''; ``UN3166, Vehicle, flammable gas
powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable gas powered''; ``UN3166,
Vehicle, flammable liquid powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable
liquid powered''; ``UN0503, Air bag inflators or Air bag modules or
Seat-belt pretensioners''; and ``UN3268, Air bag inflators or Air bag
modules or Seat-belt pretensioners.''
Special provision W10 is assigned to ``UN3486, Calcium hypochlorite
mixture, dry, corrosive with more than 10% but not more than 39%
available chlorine'' and to ``UN2208, Calcium hypochlorite mixtures,
dry, with more than 10 percent but not more than 39 percent available
chlorine.'' Special provision W10 indicates that, when offered for
transportation by vessel, these entries may not be offered in large
packagings. See Section 172.102 Special provisions for a detailed
discussion of the addition of special provision W10.
Amendments to the Column (8a) Packaging Exceptions
Column 8A contains exceptions from some of the requirements of this
subchapter. The referenced exceptions are in addition to those
specified in subpart A of part 173 and elsewhere in this subchapter. A
``None'' in this column means no packaging exceptions are authorized,
except as may be provided by special provisions in Column 7. PHMSA
received one comment from SAAMI noting that PHMSA, unlike the UN Model
Regulations, IMDG Code and the European Road and Rail Regulations
(ADR), did not propose a limited quantity exception for UN 0055
``Cases, cartridge, empty with primer'' as a limited quantity. This was
an inadvertent omission and PHMSA is adding 63 to column 8a of the HMT
for the UN 0055 entry.
Amendments to the Column (9) Quantity Limitations
Section 172.101(j) describes Column (9) of the HMT and the quantity

[[Page 996]]

limitations for specific entries in the HMT. Furthermore, Columns (9A)
and (9B) specify the maximum quantities that may be offered for
transportation in one package by passenger-carrying aircraft or
passenger-carrying rail car (Column (9A)) or by cargo-only aircraft
(Column (9B)). Unless otherwise indicated the quantity limitations
shown in column (9) of the HMT are net. PHMSA is removing the gross
weight indicator in columns (9A) (if authorized previously) and (9B)
for the following battery entries. The quantity limit for these entries
should be based on the weight of the battery or batteries and not the
weight of the battery or batteries plus the packaging (i.e., the
package).

UN3028 Batteries, dry, containing potassium hydroxide solid, electric,
storage
UN2794 Batteries, wet, filled with acid, electric storage
UN2795 Batteries, wet, filled with alkali, electric storage
UN3468 Hydrogen in a metal hydride storage system or Hydrogen in a
metal hydride storage system contained in equipment or Hydrogen in a
metal hydride storage system packed with equipment
UN3090 Lithium battery
UN3091 Lithium batteries packed with equipment

PHMSA is revising column (9A) to forbid several entries previously
authorized for shipment on passenger-carrying aircraft or passenger-
carrying rail to harmonize with changes to the ICAO Technical
Instructions. The following entries would now be forbidden on
passenger-carrying aircraft or passenger-carrying rail.

UN1196 Ethyltrichlorosilane
UN1250 Methyltrichlorosilane
UN1298 Trimethylchlorosilane
UN1305 Vinyltrichlorosilane
UN2985 Chlorosilanes, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s.
UN3361 Chlorosilanes, toxic, corrosive, n.o.s.
UN3362 Chlorosilanes, toxic, corrosive, flammable, n.o.s.

Quantity limits of 450 L for ``UN3334, Aviation regulated liquid,
n.o.s.'' and 400 kg for ``UN3335, Aviation regulated solid, n.o.s.''
are added for both columns (9A) and (9B). Previously, there was no
limit to the amount authorized to be shipped in one package. These new
quantity limits are consistent with authorized quantity limits found in
the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Amendments to the Column (10) Vessel Stowage Requirements.
Vessel Stowage Location (10A)
Section 172.101(k) explains the purpose of column (10) of the HMT
and prescribes the vessel stowage and segregation requirements for
specific entries in the HMT. Column (10) is divided into two columns:
column (10A) [Vessel stowage] specifies the authorized stowage
locations on board cargo and passenger vessels and column (10B) [Other
provisions] specifies special stowage and segregation provisions.
One commenter (SAAMI) noted that limited quantity shipments are
assigned the least restrictive stowage category and are excepted from
additional stowage provisions in 3.4.3 of the IMDG Code and requested
that PHMSA do the same. PHMSA agrees and is amending Sec. 172.101(k)
to ensure that shipments offered as limited quantities are allocated to
stowage category A, and to note that such shipments are excepted from
the other stowage provisions indicated by codes in column 10B of the
HMT for the material being offered for transport as a limited quantity.
PHMSA is simplifying the number of vessel stowage locations for
shipments of Class 1 explosive materials to harmonize with recently
adopted vessel explosive stowage categories in the IMDG Code.
Currently, there are 15 possible stowage location codes available for
assignment to column (10A) for explosive shipments. Recent changes in
the IMDG Code have reduced the number of available explosive stowage
location codes to five. This consolidation of codes was accomplished to
reduce the complexity of the regulations without compromising safety.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) determined that the
term ``magazine'' was no longer necessary and the magazine concept
could be incorporated into a broader definition for closed cargo
transport units for Class 1 (explosives) material. In general, a
magazine used to store and transport explosives is equivalent to a
closed cargo transport unit with a wooden floor. A magazine type A has
additional wooden walls, or walls covered with wooden pallets, and is
currently only assigned to 7 entries in the HMT. A magazine type C is
currently defined by a minimum distance to the ship's side of 2.4 m (8
feet). Requirements to load Class 1 closed cargo transport units a
minimum distance of 2.4 m (8 feet) from the ship's side wall remove the
need for specific stowage category references to magazine stowage type
C. The IMO, taking into account the properties of various classes and
divisions of explosives, has determined that only 1.4S, 1.4G, 1.4D, and
1.4C explosives are acceptable on passenger ships. PHMSA agrees and has
removed the majority of Class 1 stowage location codes and revised the
remaining codes. The codes for each Class 1 entry are grouped by
stowage code (01, 02, 03, 04, or 05) as follows:
Explosive Stowage Category
01--means the material may be stowed ``on deck'' in closed cargo
transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo vessel (up to 12
passengers) and on a passenger vessel
02--means the material may be stowed ``on deck'' in closed cargo
transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo vessel (up to 12
passengers) and ``on deck'' in closed cargo transport units or ``under
deck'' in closed cargo transport units on a passenger vessel
03--means the material may be stowed ``on deck'' in closed cargo
transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo vessel (up to 12
passengers) but the material is prohibited on a passenger vessel
04--means the material may be stowed ``on deck'' in closed cargo
transport units or ``under deck'' in closed cargo transports on a cargo
vessel (up to 12 passengers) but the material is prohibited on a
passenger vessel
05--means the material may be stowed ``on deck'' in closed cargo
transport units on a cargo vessel (up to 12 passengers) but the
material is prohibited on a passenger vessel

Taking into account the properties of various classes and divisions
of explosives, the IMO determined new stowage category assignments as
follows:

[[Page 997]]

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

PHMSA agrees with the assignments and, in particular, agrees that
only 1.4S, 1.4G, 1.4D, and 1.4C explosives are acceptable on passenger
ships.
Column (10A) in the HMT is revised to read Stowage Category 01 for

Vessel Stowage Codes (10B)
Section 172.101(k) describes Column (10) of the HMT and the vessel
stowage requirements for specific entries in the HMT. Furthermore,
column (10B) [Other provisions] specifies codes for stowage
requirements for specific hazardous materials. The meaning of each code
in Column (10B) is set forth in Sec. 176.84 of this subchapter.
Vessel shipments of Class 1 explosives are currently required to be
stored away from all sources of heat including steam pipes, heating
coils, sparks, and flame in accordance with Sec. 176.116(a). In
addition to this general provision in Sec. 176.116, several vessel
stowage codes in column (10B) make reference to shading or stowing away
from heat. To harmonize with the IMDG Code, reduce the number of
redundant vessel stowage codes, and incorporate the addition of a new
definition for protected from sources of heat (see Section 176.2 of
this final rule for definition) PHMSA is deleting vessel stowage codes
50 and 48 and replacing all references to these codes with stowage code
25. See Section 176.84 for a detailed discussion of our revision to
stowage code 25.
The following proper shipping names and corresponding
identification numbers will have stowage code 48 replaced with stowage
code 25 in Column (10B) in the HMT. If the commodity is currently
assigned both stowage code 48 and 25 in Column (10B) in the HMT stowage
code 48 will be deleted and stowage code 25 will remain.

code 25 in Column (10B) in the HMT if stowage code 25 is not currently
listed in Column (10B). If the proper shipping name already is
currently assigned both stowage code 19 and 25, stowage code 19 will be
deleted.

of heat in accordance with the new definition of ``protected from
sources of heat'' in Sec. 176.2. See Section 176.84 for a detailed
discussion of our revision to stowage code 25 and Sec. 176.2 for the
definition of ``protected from sources of heat.''
Stowage code 50 is currently not assigned to any HMT entries and is
being deleted.
PHMSA is revising stowage code 128 to account for a citation change
in the IMDG Code. The new text of stowage code 128 is ``stow in
accordance with the IMDG Code, Sub-section 7.6.2.7.2 (incorporated by
reference; see Sec. 171.7 of this subchapter).''
PHMSA is deleting stowage codes 7E, 8E, and 20E. The reduction in
the number of vessel stowage categories in column (10A) makes these
codes unnecessary and any applicable stowage requirements are covered
by the requirements of the applied code in column (10A).

During review of the explosive stowage codes it was noted that
stowage code 1E was assigned to UN0504 1H-Tetrazole and UN0502 Rockets,
with inert head. Stowage code 1E was removed in a final rule published
on June 21 2001, under Docket Number RSPA-2000-7702 (HM-215D) [66 FR
33316] entitled, ``Harmonization with the United Nations
Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and
International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions''
and, in this final rule, PHMSA is amending the listings for these two
entries by removing these two codes whose requirements have been
captured by other vessel stowage provisions.
Section 172.102 Special Provisions
Section 172.102 lists special provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous materials. Special provisions
contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions applicable
to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. PHMSA is
revising Sec. 172.102, Special provisions as follows:
Special Provision 47
Special provision 47 provides classification exceptions for
mixtures of solids and flammable liquids. In this final rule, PHMSA is
revising special provision 47 to clarify that the requirement that each
packaging must correspond with a design type that has passed a
leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level applies only to single
packagings.
Special Provision 48
Special provision 48 provides classification exceptions for
mixtures of solids and toxic liquids. In this final rule, PHMSA is
revising special provision 48 to clarify that the requirement that each
packaging must correspond with a design type that has passed a
leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level applies only to single
packagings.
Special Provision 49
Special provision 49 provides classification exceptions for
mixtures of solids and corrosive liquids. In this final rule, PHMSA is
revising special provision 49 to clarify that the requirement that each
packaging must correspond with a design type that has passed a
leakproofness test at the Packing Group II level applies only to single
packagings.
Special Provision 101
In a NPRM published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2006 (71
FR 51895), we proposed to remove Sec. 172.102(c)(1), Special provision
101. In the NPRM, we stated that with the introduction of the letter
''G'' in Column (1), which requires the n.o.s. and generic proper
shipping names to be supplemented with the technical name of the
hazardous material, special provision 101 became obsolete.
Consequently, because we did not receive public comment, the amendment
was adopted as proposed in a final rule published in the Federal
Register on December 29, 2006 (71 FR 78596).
Consequences of the removal of Sec. 172.102(c)(1) Special
provision 101 in 2006 may have resulted in noncompliance for certain
Department of Defense (DOD) explosive shipments.

[[Page 1004]]

DOD recently asserted the current provisions in Sec. Sec. 171.8 and
172.203(k) of the HMR do not permit technical names to be indicated in
such a manner as former special provision 101 required. For example, a
DOD explosive shipment approved under the generic description
``Articles, explosive, n.o.s.'' was previously assigned special
provision 101 in column 7 of the Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials
Table that required the name of the particular substance or article to
be specified as the technical name for the substance or article (e.g.,
``Fuze, Grenade, M219A2'') in association with the basic description.
Therefore, PHMSA is reinstating special provision 101 for the following
HMT entries:

UN0349 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0350 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0351 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0352 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0353 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0354 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0355 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0356 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0462 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0463 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.
UN0464 Articles, explosive, n.o.s.

Special Provision 118
Special provision 118 states that materials listing this special
provision may not be transported under the provisions of Division 4.1
unless specifically authorized by the Associate Administrator. In the
UN Model Regulations the corresponding special provision, SP 272,
contained a note that the special provision referred to UN0143. This
special provision in the UN Model Regulations has been revised to
indicate that the special provision applies to both UN0143 and UN0150,
as appropriate. To maintain consistency with the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA is adopting this editorial note and revising special provision
118 by adding the language ``(see UN0143 or UN0150 as appropriate)''
following the existing text.
Special Provision 134
Special provision 134 is revised to note that this provision also
applies to equipment powered by wet batteries or sodium batteries that
are transported with these batteries installed.
Special Provision 155
Special provision 155 states that Fish meal or fish scrap may not
be transported if the temperature at the time of loading either exceeds
35 [deg]C (95 [deg]F), or exceeds 5 [deg]C (9 [deg]F) above the ambient
temperature, whichever is higher.
PHMSA is revising special provision 155 by adding a reference to
the new proper shipping name ``krill meal.'' Krill meal possesses
similar self-heating hazard characteristics to fish meal and scrap;
therefore, application of this special provision is appropriate. This
addition clarifies that special provision 155 applies to fish meal and
fish scrap as well as krill meal.
Special Provision 222
Special provision 222 is added to indicate that shipments of 1.4S
materials reclassed as ORM-D are not eligible to be offered for
transportation by aircraft. Special provision 222 is added to the ORM-D
entries for Cartridges, small arms, Cartridges, power device (used to
project fastening devices).
Special Provision 237
Special provision 237 specifies that ``Batteries, dry, containing
potassium hydroxide solid, electric storage '' must be prepared and
packaged in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 173.159(a), (b),
and (c) and that for transportation by aircraft, the provisions of
Sec. 173.159(b)(2) are applicable.
PHMSA is adding an additional sentence to special provision 237
clarifying the applicability of the provision. Specifically language is
added to state that the entry for ``Batteries, dry, containing
potassium hydroxide solid, electric storage'' may only be used for the
transport of non-activated batteries that contain dry potassium
hydroxide and that are intended to be activated prior to use by the
addition of an appropriate amount of water to the individual cells.
Special Provision 238
Special provision 238 is added to address the shipment of neutron
radiation detectors. Neutron detection is a key component used in
nuclear arms interdiction in addition to other applications such as
nuclear reactor monitoring, neutron-based cancer treatments, neutron
spallation, nondestructive testing and health physics applications.
Most neutron radiation detectors contain boron trifluoride gas, UN1008,
which is currently forbidden by passenger and cargo aircraft as noted
in Columns (9A) and (9B) of the HMT. Currently, neutron radiation
detectors that contain this gas can only be transported by air under a
special permit.
ICAO recently adopted a special provision specifically addressing
neutron radiation detectors. The recently adopted special provision
A190 permits, under certain conditions the transportation by cargo
aircraft of neutron radiation detectors containing boron trifluoride.
These conditions include quantity of gas limitations, and construction
and packaging specifications. The special provision also provides that
under certain conditions these neutron radiation detectors containing
not more than 1 gram of boron trifluoride gas are not otherwise subject
to the ICAO Technical Instructions.
PHMSA granted a special permit, for the transportation by all
modes, of certain neutron radiation detectors containing boron
trifluoride gas. The limitations set forth in Special Provision A190 of
the ICAO Technical Instructions do not exceed any limitations of the
special permit and, therefore, PHMSA is adopting and applying them to
all modes of transportation except passenger-carrying aircraft by
incorporating them into Sec. 172.102(c)(1), Special provision 238.
Specifically, the special provision provides packaging requirements
(including pressure limitations), quantities permitted, and package
construction requirements for radiation detectors containing non-
pressurized boron trifluoride gas in excess of 1 gram. The special
provision also provides additional exceptions from the HMR based on the
transport mode and other conditions. The special provision will be
applicable to the entry ``UN1008, Boron trifluoride'' in the HMT. PHMSA

[[Page 1005]]

believes the adoption of this special provision provides an adequate
level of safety for the transportation of these items, while providing
flexibility in the need to obtain a special permit.
Special Provision 338
A new special provision 338 is added to clarify that when lithium
cells or batteries are contained in the fuel cell system, the item must
be described under this entry and the entry ``Lithium batteries,
contained in equipment.'' This special provision is applied to UN3473
``Fuel cell cartridges or Fuel cell cartridges contained in equipment
or Fuel cell cartridges packed with equipment, containing flammable
liquids''; UN3476 ``Fuel cell cartridges or Fuel cell cartridges
contained in equipment or Fuel cell cartridges packed with equipment,
containing water-reactive substances''; UN3477 ``Fuel cell cartridges
or Fuel cell cartridges contained in equipment or Fuel cell cartridges
packed with equipment, containing corrosive substances''; UN3478 ``Fuel
cell cartridges or Fuel cell cartridges contained in equipment or Fuel
cell cartridges packed with equipment, containing liquefied flammable
gas''; and UN3479 ``Fuel cell cartridges or Fuel cell cartridges
contained in equipment or Fuel cell cartridges packed with equipment,
containing hydrogen in metal hydride.''
Special Provision 360
New special provision 360 is added and assigned to UN3091,
``Lithium batteries, contained in equipment'' to clarify that vehicles
powered only by lithium batteries must be assigned to identification
number UN3071, ``Battery powered vehicle.''
Special Provision 361
New special provision 361 is added to clarify that certain
capacitors with limited energy storage capability are excepted from the
HMR. Specifically, the special provision states that capacitors with an
energy storage capacity of 0.3 Wh or less are not subject the HMR.
Furthermore this special provision defines energy storage capacity as
the energy held by a capacitor, as calculated using the nominal voltage
and capacitance.
Section 173.176 provides that capacitors not installed in equipment
must be transported in an uncharged state and capacitors installed in
equipment must be transported in either an uncharged state or protected
against short circuit. Certain types of capacitors such as asymmetrical
capacitors are designed to maintain a terminal voltage. This special
provision also clarifies that the entry UN3499 does not apply to these
capacitors. This special provision is applied to the new HMT entry
UN3499, ``Capacitor, electric double layer (with an energy storage
capacity greater than 0.3 Wh).''
Veolia expressed concern that while manufacturers will have control
over the charge state of a capacitor when it is offered for
transportation, when these same capacitors are being offered for
transportation for recycling or disposal, the recycling or disposal
facility may not be aware of or have control over their charge state.
Veoila further asserted that this special provision only applies to
electric double layer capacitors with an energy storage capacity of
greater than 0.3 Wh, and there are other types of capacitors that have
a potential to store a significant amount of energy that may pose a
risk during transportation. The 0.3 Wh threshold for electric double
layer capacitors is the threshold determined by the UNSCOE below which
a capacitor would not pose a significant risk in transportation. PHMSA
is aware that there are additional emerging capacitor technologies that
are under review by the UNSCOE for possible inclusion in the dangerous
goods list.
In this final rule PHMSA is only addressing the adoption of the
special provision consistent with the amendment to the UN Model
regulations. PHMSA has published an advance notice of proposed
rulemaking (ANPRM) under Docket HM-253 (77 FR 39662, July 5, 2012)
requesting public comment and input concerning the transportation of
hazardous materials for recycling or disposal.
Special Provision 362
New special provision 362 specifies when a material can be
considered a chemical under pressure. Specifically, the special
provision states that classification of these materials is to be based
on hazard characteristics of the components in the propellant, the
liquid, or the solid forms. Further, this special provision details the
appropriate primary and subsidiary hazard classes to be assigned to
chemical under pressure. Special provision 362 is assigned to the
following HMT entries: UN3500, Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.; UN3501,
Chemical under pressure, flammable, n.o.s.; UN3503, Chemical under
pressure, corrosive, n.o.s.; UN3502, Chemical under pressure, toxic
n.o.s.; UN3504, Chemical under pressure, flammable, toxic, n.o.s.; and
UN3505, Chemical under pressure, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s.
Special Provision 365
With the adoption of a new HMT entry ``UN3506 Mercury contained in
manufactured articles'' in the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations to address manufactured articles containing mercury, PHMSA
is adding new special provision 365 stating that manufactured
instruments and articles containing mercury should reference UN3506.
This special provision is applied to UN2809 Mercury.
Special Provision A51
PHMSA is adding a new special provision A51 to authorize the
transport by passenger aircraft of wet cell aircraft batteries with a
mass up to 100 kg net and lithium ion aircraft batteries in packages
containing a single aircraft battery with a net mass not exceeding 35
kg. The August 15, 2012 NPRM proposed to authorize the transport of
aircraft batteries into Part 175 that provides exceptions from certain
regulations for air carrier operator equipment and items of
replacement, as well as for items used to provide customer service
aboard an aircraft. PRBA and Saft noted the NPRM proposed to authorize
the transport of aircraft batteries in a way that is not fully
consistent with the 2013-2014 ICAO Technical Instructions, which do not
limit the use of this exception to a particular aircraft operator's
aircraft batteries. PRBA notes that such an action would frustrate the
intent of Congress when it passed the FAA Modernization and Reform Act
of 2012. In this final rule we are incorporating this authorization
into a special provision consistent with the 2013-2014 ICAO Technical
Instructions.
Special Provision A60
Special Provision A60 permits UN2014, Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous
solution, to be transported in excepted quantities provided a
comparative fire test between packages containing the solution and
identical packages containing water demonstrated no difference in the
burning rate. The likelihood of finding discernible differences with
more accurate test equipment used today is much greater than it would
have been with equipment used when the test requirements were first
developed. This more sensitive equipment often detects negligible
differences between the two test subjects and, therefore, precludes
transport of these small devices under the special provision. To
address the issue, the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel

[[Page 1006]]

(DGP) adopted a proposal to allow small differences in burning rates.
In this final rule we are harmonizing with the ICAO Technical
Instructions with regard to the comparative fire test for Hydrogen
peroxide, aqueous solution. Special provision A60 is revised
accordingly.
Special Provision A100
Special Provision A100 states that primary (non-rechargeable)
lithium batteries and cells are forbidden for transport aboard
passenger-carrying aircraft and secondary (rechargeable) lithium
batteries and cells are authorized aboard passenger-carrying aircraft
in packages that do not exceed a gross weight of 5 kg.
Special provision A100 is revised to clarify the weight limitations
for secondary lithium batteries are net and not gross quantities. There
are some combinations of authorized battery packagings that contribute
significantly towards the gross weight of the finished package. The
intent of this change is to indicate that the quantity limits for
secondary lithium battery shipments aboard passenger-carrying aircraft
are to be based on the actual weight of the batteries in each
individual package and not the weight of the completed package.
Special Provision A103
Special Provision A103 specifies that lithium batteries contained
in equipment is authorized aboard passenger carrying aircraft if the
gross weight of the inner package of secondary lithium batteries or
cells packed with the equipment does not exceed 5 kg (11 pounds).
Special provision A103 is revised to clarify the weight limitations
are net and not gross quantities. There are some combinations of
authorized battery packagings that contribute significantly towards the
gross weight of the finished package. The intent of this change is to
indicate that the quantity limits for secondary lithium battery
shipments aboard passenger carry aircraft are to be based on the actual
weight of the batteries in each individual package and not the weight
of the completed package.
Special Provision A189
We are adding a new special provision, A189, which is assigned to
the HMT entry ``UN2209, Formaldehyde solutions, with not less than 25
percent formaldehyde'' indicating how Formaldehyde solutions with more
than 25% are to be classified. It was suggested at the ICAO DGP that
the entry for ``UN2209, Formaldehyde solution with not less than 25%
formaldehyde'' implied that concentrations of less than 25%
formaldehyde were not regulated. To clarify these requirements, the
ICAO adopted a new special provision detailing how differing percentage
of formaldehyde solutions are regulated.
We are adding language detailing how differing percentages of
Formaldehyde solutions are to be regulated in the new special provision
A189. This special provision is applied to UN3334, Aviation regulated
liquid, n.o.s. and NA3082, Other regulated substances, liquid, n.o.s.
Special Provision A191
In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed a new special provision, A192, noting
that regardless of the Division 6.1 (toxic) subsidiary indicated in the
HMT, the poison subsidiary hazard label and an indication of this
subsidiary hazard on the shipping paper are not required for
manufactured articles containing less than 0.45 kg (1 pound) of
mercury. This provision aligns with the decision of the UN Sub-
Committee to ensure that transport of such articles, particularly by
air, is not impeded due to mercury's revised classification.
PHMSA received one comment from UPS noting that this special
provision was assigned A191 by ICAO and not A192 as assigned by PHMSA.
UPS also noted that ICAO provided an exception from display of the
subsidiary ``Toxic'' label and the identification of subsidiary risk
for up to 5 kg (11 pounds) of mercury, PHMSA proposed an exception for
no more than 0.454 kg (1 LB). UPS sees no reason for this lack of
alignment, but foresees unnecessary challenges arising from such
inconsistency. Therefore, UPS urges PHMSA to align directly with the 5
kg limit in the ICAO text. PHMSA is assigning special provision A191 to
this entry for continuity with the international regulations. PHMSA
agrees with UPS regarding the amount of mercury that may be present in
manufactured articles to utilize the exception from communicating the
subsidiary hazard, and is changing that amount to 5 kg (11 pounds).
Special Provision A200
As previously discussed, new special provision, A200, is added
stating the entries assigned this special provision must be transported
as cargo when transported by aircraft and cannot be carried onboard an
aircraft by passengers or crewmembers either in or as carry-on baggage,
checked baggage, or on their person unless specifically excepted by
Sec. 175.10, ``Exceptions for Passengers, Crewmembers, and Air
Operators.'' This special provision is assigned to articles and will be
applied to: UN3166, Engines, internal combustion or Engines, fuel cell,
flammable gas powered; UN3166, Engines, internal combustion, or
Engines, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered; UN3166, Vehicle,
flammable gas powered or Vehicle, fuel cell, flammable gas powered;
UN3166, Vehicle, flammable liquid powered or Vehicle, fuel cell,
flammable liquid powered; UN0503, Air bag inflators, or Air bag
modules, or Seat-belt pretensioners; and, UN3268, Air bag inflators, or
Air bag modules, or Seat-belt pretensioners.
Special Provision B120
Special provision B120 is added to specify the use of FBCs
conforming to the requirements in Subpart R and Subpart S of part 178
of this subchapter are permitted. The special provision is applicable
to the following entries:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Proper shipping name UN No.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ammonium nitrate based fertilizer.......... UN2067
Ammonium nitrate, with not more than 0.2% UN1942
total combustible material, including any
organic substance, calculated as carbon to
the exclusion of any other added substance.
Calcium nitrate............................ UN1454
Environmentally hazardous substance, solid, UN3077
n.o.s.
Magnesium nitrate.......................... UN1474
Naphthalene, crude or Naphthalene, refined. UN1334
Paraformaldehyde........................... UN2213
Potassium nitrate.......................... UN1486
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate............. UN3378
Sodium nitrate............................. UN1498
Sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate UN1499
mixtures.

[[Page 1007]]

Sodium perborate monohydrate............... UN3377
Sulfur (domestic and international entries) UN1350
------------------------------------------------------------------------

FBCs must conform to the performance-oriented construction
standards and testing criteria in new subparts R and S of part 178. In
addition, shipments of FBCs must be prepared and otherwise conform to
the general requirements for bulk packages in subpart B of part 173 and
the new Sec. 173.37.
IBC Codes
In a final rule published in the Federal Register on January 19,
2011 (76 FR 3308; HM-215K), the Table 1 (IBC Codes) in paragraph (c)(4)
were editorially revised to remove UN Specifications 31A, 31B and 31N
from IBC Codes IB4 through IB8. The revision was consistent with
amendments to international standards that removed the specifications
from the indicated codes in the table because IBC Codes IB4 through IB8
are assigned to solids, whereas, UN Specifications 31A, 31B, and 31N
are authorized for transportation of liquids in IBC Codes IB1 through
IB3 and are assigned to liquid materials only. In the January 19, 2011
final rule, PHMSA inadvertently failed to also remove the remaining
liquid IBC specifications (31H1, 31H2, 31HZ1, and 31HZ2) from IB Codes
IB4 through IB8. Therefore, PHMSA is editorially correcting the IBC
Code Table in Sec. 172.102(c)(4).
Special Provision TP39
Special provision, TP39, is added and assigned to HMT entry
``UN2381, Dimethyl disulfide.'' This special provision indicates that
portable tank instruction T4 may continue to be applied until December
31, 2018. This provides more time for portable tank transporters to
transition their current fleets.
Special Provision TP40
Special provision TP40 is added and assigned to HMT entries
``UN3500, Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.; UN3501, Chemical under
pressure, flammable, n.o.s.; UN3503, Chemical under pressure,
corrosive, n.o.s., UN3503; UN3502, Chemical under pressure, toxic
n.o.s.; UN3504, Chemical under pressure, flammable, toxic, n.o.s.; and
UN3505, Chemical under pressure, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s.'' The
special provision indicates that the portable tanks must not be
transported when connected with spray application equipment. This
provides an additional measure preventing inadvertent release of
hazardous materials in transport.
Special Provision TP41
Special provision TP41 is added and assigned to HMT entries
``UN3148, Water-reactive liquid, n.o.s.,'' indicating that the portable
tank instruction T9 may continue to be applied until December 31, 2018.
Special Provision T50
Special provision T50 is revised to note that this provision is
applicable to chemicals under pressure as well as liquefied compressed
gases. Special provision T50 would be assigned to HMT entries ``UN3500,
Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.; UN3501, Chemical under pressure,
flammable, n.o.s.; UN3503, Chemical under pressure, corrosive, n.o.s.,
UN3503; UN3502, Chemical under pressure, toxic n.o.s.; UN3504, Chemical
under pressure, flammable, toxic, n.o.s.; and UN3505, Chemical under
pressure, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s.''
Special Provision W10
Special provision W10 is added and assigned to HMT entries ``UN3486
Calcium hypochlorite mixture, dry, corrosive with more than 10% but not
more than 39% available chlorine'' and to ``UN2208 Calcium hypochlorite
mixtures, dry, with more than 10 percent but not more than 39 percent
available chlorine'' indicating that when offered for transportation by
vessel, the use of large packagings is prohibited. This provision is
adopted to align with a recent IMO change forbidding these commodities
from being transported by vessel in large packages.
PHMSA received two comments (DGAC & IVODGA) on our proposal to
adopt new special provision W10. IVODGA supported placing W10 in column
7 of the HMT in order for the UN2208 & UN3486 entries to harmonize with
the IMDG Code. DGAC recommended against placing W10 in column 7 of the
HMT for the UN2208 & UN3486 entries. DGAC also requested that PHMSA
elaborate as to why this change is needed on a safety basis. The IMO
Sub-Committee on Dangerous Goods, Solid Cargoes and Containers (DSC) at
their 14th session; decided not to assign LP02 to UN3486 to be
consistent with the assignment of packing authorizations for UN2208, a
material exhibiting similar characteristics. To remain harmonized with
the IMDG Code PHMSA will be adopting W10 as proposed in the August 15,
2012 NPRM.
Section 172.202
Section 172.202 establishes requirements for shipping descriptions
on shipping papers. As part of these shipping paper requirements, in
many situations a net or gross quantity of the hazardous materials
transported must be included. At the 23rd meeting of the ICAO DGP, the
issue of notation of quantities on shipping documents was raised.
Specifically, it was noted that some confusion exists as to whether or
not the net quantity or a gross mass is required on the shipping
documents on particular shipments, such as limited quantities. At this
meeting an amendment to the ICAO Technical Instructions was adopted to
clarify what quantities (i.e. net or gross quantity) were required on
the transport document for packages containing limited quantities when
different hazardous materials are packed together in the same outer
packaging.
PHMSA is adopting a similar provision to the one addressed by the
ICAO DGP discussed above. Specifically, PHMSA is adding a new paragraph
(a)(6)(vii) stating that for shipments containing hazardous materials
in limited quantities with a ``30 kg gross'' limit in Column (9A) or
(9B) of the Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table and different
hazardous materials packed together in the same outer packaging, the
net quantity of each hazardous material followed by the gross mass of
the completed package must be shown on the shipping paper.
This clarification addresses a transport scenario currently not
addressed in the HMR thus alleviating confusion regarding the shipping
paper requirements of such shipments. Furthermore, this harmonizes the
HMR with the ICAO Technical Instructions and avoids shipping paper
discrepancies for international shipments.
Section 172.203
This section details additional description requirements that are
required for certain shipments of hazardous materials. PHMSA is
amending paragraph (i)(3) to cross reference the IBR Sec. 171.7.

[[Page 1008]]

Section 172.301
This section details the general marking requirements for non-bulk
packagings. Specifically, this section states what information (proper
shipping name and identification number, technical names, consignee's
or consignor's name, etc.) must be displayed on the outside of non-bulk
packages. While the HMR requires that an identification number,
preceded by ``UN'' or ``NA'' as appropriate, be marked on the outside
of a non-bulk packaging a specific size of this marking is not
specified.
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding specific size requirements for
the ``UN'' or ``NA'' markings. These markings must be marked in
characters at least 12 mm (0.47 inches) high, however, packages with a
maximum capacity of 30 liters (7.92 gallons) ,30 kg (66 pounds), or
cylinders with a maximum water capacity of 60 liters (16 gallons) must
be marked with characters at least 6 mm (0.2 inches) high and packages
having a maximum capacity 5 liters (1.32 gallons) or 5 kg (11 pounds)
or less must be marked in a size appropriate for the size of the
package.
PHMSA is adopting this minimum size marking for the ``UN'' or
``NA'' markings to align with newly adopted requirements in the 17th
Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations. PHMSA recognizes the
importance of establishing a minimum size requirement for the
internationally recognized ``UN'' identification number marking system.
Without a minimum size requirement for hazard communication, shippers
may mark packages in a format that makes it difficult for first
responders to identify the commodity associated with a particular
package.
In response to the NPRM, PHMSA received several comments concerning
this proposed requirement. DGAC and Dow suggested extending the
compliance date for this provision to January 1, 2017 to allow
companies time to make the transition, and for the depletion of both
finished product and prepackaged inventory that do not meet the
requirements of the proposal.
Veolia noted that their company's propriety software produces
markings that would not be in compliance with the proposed size
limitations and that they would incur a cost to reprogram their system
if the proposal is maintained. They further contended that in 20 years
of displaying the marking they are unaware of any instances of the
markings being questioned as being too small or illegible. Veolia
requested that the minimum size requirement apply to international
shipments only.
Stericycle and the HWI requested an exception to this marking
requirement for dedicated carriers of regulated medical waste. These
commenters stated that the proposed change would impose a significant
cost on the industry. They requested an exception for the continued use
of existing containers used to transport regulated medical waste and
permanently marked with the applicable ``UN'' number.
PHMSA accepts that many packages are currently marked in a manner
that may not in all cases meet the new minimum size standards. In
response to the comments raised to the NPRM we will provide, for
domestic transportation, a transition period to continue using non-bulk
packagings displaying ``UN'' or ``NA'' number markings in accordance
with the requirements in effect on October 1, 2011 (i.e., no minimum
size), until January 1, 2017.
PHMSA maintains that there is benefit to harmonization in this
case, and having a single standard outweighs the cost incurred by a
company to revise its software and systems to produce compliant
markings. The transition period for the continued use of the current
markings in domestic transportation provides an opportunity for
companies to revise their marking systems and maintain compliance.
PHMSA is sympathetic to the assertion that the containers used to
transport regulated medical waste are often permanently stamped with
the ``UN'' number and the containers often have very long useful lives.
Therefore PHMSA is also including an exception that allows packages
that are permanently marked with the UN number (e.g., by embossing or
through a heat stamp process) and are manufactured prior to January 1,
2017 to continue in service for the life of the container.
DGAC noted that while an inch conversion was provided in the
preamble there is no inch conversion noted in the regulations text.
This was an oversight and has been corrected in this final rule.
COSTHA questioned if the minimum size of the ``UN'' number markings
should be dictated by the maximum capacity of the outer package or the
inner packagings. COSTHA proposed an example package consisting of 2
inner packagings of 4 L each. Maximum capacity is defined in Sec.
171.8 as ``the maximum inner volume of receptacles or packagings.'' A
package containing 2 inner packagings with a maximum capacity of 4 L
each would have a maximum capacity of 8 L, and thus would require a 6
mm minimum UN number marking.
It was also noted that the UNSCOE, at its 39th session, provided an
exception from minimum marking size requirements for cylinders of 60
liters water capacity or less. PHMSA agrees that cylinder markings have
historically been allowed provisions that would allow for smaller UN
number markings than other non-bulk packages and is providing an
exception for cylinders of 60 liters water capacity or less consistent
with the recent UNSCOE exception.
Therefore, with the aforementioned transition period, exceptions,
and note, PHMSA is specifying a marking size consistent with package
marking sizes adopted in the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations.
Section 172.312
Section 172.312 details the specific marking requirements for
liquid hazardous materials in non-bulk packagings. Paragraph (a) of
this section describes scenarios when package orientation arrows must
be displayed on the outside of a package. Provided certain criteria are
met, paragraph (c) excepts certain shipments from the requirements of
paragraph (a) and thus, the requirement to display the package
orientation arrows on the package. Currently Sec. 173.312(c)(3) states
that when offered or intended for transportation by aircraft, packages
containing flammable liquids in inner packagings of 120 mL (4 fluid
oz.) or less prepared in accordance with Sec. 173.150(b) or (c) of
this subchapter when packed with sufficient absorption material between
the inner and outer packagings to completely absorb the liquid contents
are not required to display the package orientation arrows on the
outside of the package. The ICAO TI have been amended to extend this
exception to the package orientation markings to all liquid hazardous
materials in inner packagings of 120 mL (4 fluid oz.) when packed with
sufficient absorption material between the inner and outer packagings
to completely absorb the liquid contents. PHMSA is adopting this
change, consistent with the amendment made to the ICAO TI to extend the
exception for the display of the package orientation arrows to all
liquid hazardous materials in inner packagings of 120 mL (4 fluid oz.)
when packed with sufficient absorption material between the inner and
outer packagings to completely absorb the liquid contents.

[[Page 1009]]

Section 172.407
This section provides label specifications. PHMSA is amending
paragraph (f) to include a cross reference to the IBR Sec. 171.7.
Section 172.604
Section 172.604 prescribes emergency response telephone number
requirements. Paragraph (d) of this section provides a listing of
materials that are excepted from the requirement to provide an
emergency response telephone number on a shipping document.
PHMSA is adding ``Krill Meal, PGIII'' to the list of materials
excepted from the emergency response telephone number requirements.
Krill meal poses similar hazards to fish scrap and meal; therefore, we
are providing Krill meal with the same exception from the emergency
response telephone number requirements as fish scrap and meal.

Part 173

Part 173 of the HMR describes the general requirements for
shipments and packagings of hazardous materials. Consistent with
amendments adopted by the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA is adopting
changes throughout the Part 173 packaging requirements to authorize
more flexibility when choosing packages for hazardous materials.
Specifically PHMSA is authorizing the use of the following packaging
types and materials:
The specific packaging requirements for Class 1 explosive materials
are specified in Sec. 173.62. In this final rule PHMSA is revising
Sec. 173.62 to authorize wood as an appropriate material used to
construct receptacles, inner and outer intermediate packagings, and
intermediate packagings/dividing partitions for certain explosives.
Furthermore, PHMSA is authorizing the use of metals other than steel or
aluminum in specification packagings, specifically drums (1N1 or 1N2)
and boxes (4N), as appropriate. This authorization does not include
chlorosilanes under Sec. 173.206 because of corrosion concerns.
Otherwise, it authorizes the use of closed head drums where open head
drums are generally permitted. PHMSA believes these amendments provide
greater flexibility in packaging while maintaining an equivalent level
of safety.
Consistent with amendments adopted by the ICAO Technical
Instructions, PHMSA is adopting changes in various sections on Part 173
where certain articles, items, and materials are excepted from the
requirements of the subchapter. There is a potential for these excepted
articles, items, and materials to be inappropriately carried aboard an
aircraft by passengers or crewmembers. The changes will address this
concern by clarifying that certain excepted articles, items and
materials, identified by ICAO as posing a safety risk, must be
transported as cargo and cannot be carried onboard an aircraft by
passengers or crewmembers as carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or on
their person unless specifically excepted by Sec. 175.10, ``Exceptions
for Passengers, Crewmembers, and Air Operators.'' The amended sections
include Sec. Sec. 173.159a, 173.162, 173.164, 173.175, 173.219, and
173.306. For UN3166 and UN3268, Special Provision A200 is created to
communicate this requirement and a reference to special provision A200
is placed in column 7 of the HMT for these entries. In response to the
NPRM, COSTHA and Mercotac, suggested changes to regulatory text
language to eliminate confusion that these items may only be able to be
transported as cargo. PHMSA has revised the language in Sec. Sec.
173.159a, 173.162, 173.175, 173.219, and 173.306 to be consistent with
the language in special provision A200 that these excepted articles,
items and materials must be transported as cargo and cannot be carried
onboard an aircraft by passengers or crewmembers as carry-on baggage,
checked baggage, or on their person unless specifically excepted by
Sec. 175.10.
PHMSA received one comment from the FCHEA requesting that we amend
Sec. 175.10(a)(19) to allow fuel cell cartridges containing flammable
gas in division 2.1 and fuel cells containing water reactive materials
in division 4.3 in checked passenger baggage. PHMSA did not propose
changes to the provisions allowing for the checking limited types of
fuel cells in the NPRM, and consider this request to be outside the
scope of this rulemaking.
Section 173.4b
This section specifies exceptions for materials packaged in de
minimus quantities. In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed and is subsequently
adopting in this final rule, an exception in Sec. 175.10(a)(22) to
permit non-infectious specimens packaged in accordance with Sec.
173.4b(b) to be carried aboard an aircraft by passengers and
crewmembers in checked or carry-on baggage or on their person. In the
NPRM we inadvertently neglected to revise the language in Sec.
173.4b(b)(8) to recognize this exception. In this final rule, PHMSA is
revising Sec. 173.4b(b)(8) to reference the adopted exception in Sec.
175.10(a)(22).
Section 173.12
This section specifies the exceptions for shipment of waste
materials including the requirements for waste packages known as ``lab
packs.'' A lab pack, although not specifically defined in Sec. 171.8,
is considered a large outer packaging containing small inner packagings
that are filled with various compatible laboratory hazardous wastes.
Paragraph (b) of this section specifies the authorized inner and outer
packagings for lab packs.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraph (b)(2)(ii)(a) of
this section by adding 1N2 metal drums to the permitted outer
packagings currently authorized for a lab pack.
Section 173.21
Section 173.21 prescribes materials and packages forbidden for
transport. In this final rule, PHMSA is correcting the IMDG Code
section reference to control temperature requirements in Sec.
173.21(f)(3)(ii) from 7.7 to 7.3.7.
Section 173.37
Currently, the HMR does not include a section that prescribes
general requirements for packaging hazardous materials in Flexible Bulk
Containers (FBCs). In this final rule, PHMSA is adding such
requirements in new Sec. 173.37 in a similar format to the general
requirements for other bulk and large packagings (e.g., portable tanks,
IBCs, etc.) in subpart B of part 173. This section includes, but is not
be limited to, requirements addressing the initial use and reuse of
FBCs, capacity requirements and general transport conditions.
Consistent with the use and reuse requirements of other large and bulk
packagings, the general requirements in part 173 complement the
construction and manufacture specifications for such bulk packagings in
part 178 of the HMR.
PHMSA is authorizing the reuse of FBCs. The FBC must be given a
visual examination prior to reuse. Furthermore, the general
requirements for FBCs specify that FBCs must be transported in a
conveyance with rigid sides and ends that extend at least two-thirds
the height of the FBC, must not be offered for transportation in
freight containers, and may not exceed 15 cubic meters in capacity.
Section 173.50
Section 173.50 provides definitions for the various divisions of
Class 1 (explosives) referenced in Subpart C of Part 173. Paragraph (b)
of this section notes that Class 1 (explosives) are divided into six
divisions. Division 1.6 is described as an explosive consisting

[[Page 1010]]

``of extremely insensitive articles that do not have a mass explosive
hazard. This division is comprised of articles that contain only
extremely insensitive detonating substances and that demonstrate a
negligible probability of accidental initiation or propagation.''
In this final rule, PHMSA is removing the word ``detonating'' from
this definition to align with the revised definition provided in the
17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations.
Section 173.56
Section 173.56 prescribes the definition of new explosives and
provides explosive (Class 1) classification and approval requirements.
Paragraph (h) of Sec. 173.56 states that small arms ammunition, within
certain parameters is not subject to the approval requirements of the
rest of Sec. 173.56.
PHMSA received a comment from SAAMI requesting that PHMSA amend
Sec. 173.56 to except Cases, cartridge, empty with primer and
Cartridges for tools, blank from the approval requirements of Sec.
173.56. SAAMI noted that for Cartridges for tools, blank the switch
from UN 0323 to UN 0014 could necessitate new EX approvals for products
which are essentially identical to those already exempted. SAAMI noted
that Cases, cartridge, empty with primer refers to small arms
cartridges with no bullet or propellant but with a primer, just an
empty primed case. SAAMI stated that Cases, cartridge, empty with
primer of 50 caliber or less clearly meet the intent and equivalent
level of safety to products already referenced in 173.56(h).
PHMSA is amending Sec. 173.56(h) to ensure Cartridges for tools,
blank that meet the conditions of that paragraph are excepted from the
requirements of the rest of this section. PHMSA believes this to be a
natural extension of the intent of the exception in Sec. 173.56(h) as
well as a necessary domestic change that is a direct result of
international rulemaking.
PHMSA will not be adding Cases, cartridge, empty with primer to
Sec. 173.56(h). PHMSA believes Cases, cartridge, empty with primer to
be materially different from those articles currently authorized for
the exception in Sec. 173.56(h). The proposed addition of Cases,
cartridge, empty with primer to Sec. 173.56(h) is also not a direct
result of international rulemaking and this rulemaking vehicle is not
suited for such a proposal.
Section 173.59
Section 173.59 provides definitions of explosive terms related to
the transport and classification of explosives used throughout subpart
C of part 173. These definitions are intended for information only and
are not to be used for purposes of classification or to replace proper
shipping names prescribed in Sec. 172.101. In the UN Model
Regulations, Appendix B to Chapter 3 contains a similar list of
explosive definitions which are also intended for information only and
are not to be used for purposes of hazard classification.
In April 2010, the United States and the United Kingdom submitted a
formal document regarding proposed modifications to the UN test series
7 for consideration by the UN Subcommittee of Experts on the Transport
of Dangerous Goods. Test series 7 is used to classify explosives into
the appropriate class.\1\ This paper sought to modify the test series 7
to more accurately address the classification of Division 1.6.
Specifically, Division 1.6 is for extremely insensitive detonating
articles and the proposed changes in the US/UK paper are designed to
ensure that the probability of accidental initiation or propagation of
an article attaining this division remains negligible.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ The scientific data regarding the adoption of these
modifications are presented in working paper ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/2010/40
entitled ``Proposed modifications to Test Series 7.'' This paper can
be viewed at the following URL: http://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2010/ac10c3/ST-SG-AC10-C3-2010-40e.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, the
proposals presented in the US/UK paper regarding the UN test series 7
were adopted. Among the adopted proposals was the addition of various
explosive specific definitions referencing the modifications to the UN
test series 7. In this final rule, we are revising the various
definitions prescribed in Sec. 173.59. Specifically, we revised the
definition for ``Articles, explosive, extremely insensitive (Articles,
EEI)'' by removing the word ``detonating'' and adding the words
``tools'' after ``starter pistols'' in the definition for ``Cartridges,
blank.'' We also replaced the definition for ``Explosive, extremely
insensitive detonating substances (EIDS)'' with a new definition for
``Explosive, extremely insensitive substances (EIS).'' Lastly, we added
a definition for ``Auxiliary explosive component, isolated.'' The
addition of and revisions to these definitions provide consistency with
international regulations and clarity when utilizing the UN test series
7 for explosive classification.
PHMSA received one comment form SAAMI that requested we revise the
proposed definition of Cartridges, blank. The definition proposed by
SAAMI was ``Cartridges, blank. Articles that consist of a cartridge
case with a center or rim fire primer, with or without a confined
charge of smokeless or black powder, but with no projectile. Used in
training, saluting, or in starter pistols, tools, etc.'' SAAMI's
proposal would remove the requirement for Cartridges, blank to contain
a confined charge of smokeless powder. This SAAMI proposed definition
is not consistent with the UN adopted definition for Cartridges, blank.
Additionally adopting the definition proposed by SAAMI may conflict
with the standing definition for Cases, cartridge empty with, primer.
For the aforementioned reasons, PHMSA is adopting the definition as
proposed in the August 15, 2012 NPRM.
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 prescribes the specific packaging requirements for
explosives. These packaging requirements stipulate the permitted inner,
intermediate, and outer packagings as well as any specific additional
packaging information. These packaging requirements are generally
aligned with the requirements stipulated in the UN Model Regulations.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising various packaging provisions
in the ``Table of Packing Methods'' in this section to align with
changes adopted in the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations. The revisions to the authorized packaging methods provide
greater flexibility when packaging explosives while retaining an
appropriate level of safety. These changes include, but are not limited
to, permitting various explosives to be transported in closed head
drums in addition to the already permitted removable head drums and
adding the option to utilize wooden inner and intermediate packagings
in various packaging provisions.
Section 173.63
Section 173.63 provides packaging exceptions for specific types of
low hazard explosive materials including certain detonators, small arms
ammunition and detonating cord. PHMSA received one comment from SAAMI
requesting that PHMSA clarify its intent to allow these articles to
display either the ground limited quantity mark or the air limited
quantity mark regardless of the mode of transport.
In this final rule PHMSA is clarifying the language in Sec.
173.63(b)(2) to clearly state that a limited quantity of 1.4S material
may be marked with either the surface or the air limited quantity

[[Page 1011]]

marking regardless of mode of transport. However, PHMSA also notes that
in October of 2012 the ICAO Dangerous Goods Panel Working Group of the
Whole (DGP-WG/12) considered, but did not adopt, a proposal to
authorize limited quantities of certain 1.4S articles. DGP-WG/12 did
note that packages bearing the limited quantity marking of other modes
could still be accepted for air transport provided all additional
requirements of the ICAO Technical Instructions were met. As a result
of the DGP-WG/12 decision PHMSA and FAA believe retaining the option to
display the air limited quantity marking by all modes may result in
confusion and potentially frustrate shipments of packages that display
the air limited quantity marking in air transit.
As a result of the recent DGP-WG/12 decision PHMSA and FAA plan to
consider removing the authorization to display the air limited quantity
marking for limited quantity materials packaged in accordance with
Sec. 173.63(b)(2) in a future rulemaking, as such a change was not
proposed in the NPRM to this final rule.
PHMSA received one comment from SAAMI requesting that the recent UN
assignment of limited quantity packaging authorizations to Cases,
cartridges, empty with primer (UN0055) be extended to this commodity in
the HMR. PHMSA agrees and has made the relevant text changes to Sec.
173.63. SAAMI also commented that the ORM-D entries removed from the
table should be left until the expiration of the transitional period
for their use. PHMSA agrees and has inserted those proper shipping
names back into Sec. 173.63.
Section 173.115
Section 173.115 prescribes the definitions for Class 2 materials.
Paragraph (k) of this section specifies how the oxidizing ability of
certain Division 2.2 gases is determined. Currently, the HMR references
ISO standards that include test and calculations used to determine the
oxidizing ability of certain Division 2.2 gases. The UN Model
Regulations and the ICAO Technical Instructions replace references to
ISO standards 10156:1996 and 10156-2:2005 with the updated version ISO
10156:2010.
Based on its technical review, PHMSA believes the updated standard
provides an adequate level of safety and is referencing the standard in
this section and adding it to the list of IBR materials in Sec. 171.7.
Section 173.121
Section 173.121 prescribes the requirements for selection of
packing groups for Class 3 flammable liquids. Paragraph (b) of this
section describes the criteria for inclusion of viscous Class 3
materials in Packing Group III.
ICAO adopted requirements in the Technical Instructions that
increased the quantity of viscous Class 3 flammable liquids permitted
reclassification from Packing Group II to Packing Group III from 30 L
(7.9 gal) per package to 100 L (26.42 gal) per package when offered for
transport by cargo aircraft.
In this final rule, PHMSA is expanding the per package amounts of
viscous Class 3 material meeting the requirements in Sec. 173.121(b).
The increase will facilitate multi-modal transportation by permitting
shipments offered by highway, rail, and cargo-carrying aircraft to
utilize the same 100 L criteria.
Section 173.134
Provisions contained in the UN Model Regulations, Chapter 2.6,
Class 6--Toxic and Infectious Substances, relating to the
transportation of medical devices and equipment, have been amended to
except medical equipment which has been drained of free liquid from the
requirements of the UN Model Regulations. In addition, except for
medical devices or equipment being transported for disposal, or medical
devices or equipment contaminated with or suspected of contamination
with a Category A infectious substance, the UN Model Regulations have
been amended to exempt medical devices or equipment potentially
contaminated with or containing infectious substances which are being
transported for disinfection, cleaning, sterilization, repair or
equipment evaluation from all other requirements of the UN Model
Regulations, provided they meet certain packaging requirements.
PHMSA is amending Sec. 173.134, ``Class 6, Division 6.2--
Definitions and Exceptions'' by adopting the additional exemptions for
medical devices and equipment.
Section 173.158
Section 173.158 prescribes packaging requirements for nitric acid
mixtures of varying concentrations. PHMSA is revising the list of outer
packagings permitted for nitric acid mixtures of varying
concentrations.
Specifically, PHMSA is revising paragraph (d)(2) by adding 1N2, 4A,
4B and 4N packagings to the list of authorized outer packagings of
combination packages for Nitric acid of 90 percent or greater
concentration, when offered for transportation or transported by rail,
highway, or water, in addition to the packaging options currently
authorized.
PHMSA is also revising paragraph (e) of this section pertaining to
nitric acid of less than 90 percent concentration, when offered for
transportation or transported by rail, highway, or water. Specifically,
this paragraph is revised to permit packagings of specification 4A, 4B,
or 4N metal boxes for certain nitric acid concentrations.
Further, PHMSA is revising paragraphs (f)(3), (g) and (h) by adding
specification 1N2, 4A, 4B and 4N packagings to the list of authorized
outer packagings of combination packagings for Nitric acid of the
following concentrations; (1) Nitric acid of 70 percent or less
concentration, when offered for transportation or transported by rail,
highway, or water; (2) Nitric acid of more than 70 percent
concentration, when offered for transportation or transported by cargo
aircraft only; and (3) Nitric acid of less than 70 percent
concentration, when offered for transportation in cargo aircraft only.
The addition of these packaging options will increase flexibility
for shippers when determining the appropriate packaging for nitric acid
mixtures, in addition to the packaging options currently authorized.
Section 173.159a
Section 173.159a provides exceptions for non-spillable batteries.
Paragraph (d) of this section excepts non-spillable batteries from the
requirements of the HMR provided certain criteria, including specific
packaging requirements and the absence of free-flowing liquid in the
battery, are met.
In this final rule, PHMSA is clarifying paragraph (d) of this
section by adding a new subparagraph (d)(3) stating that ``for
transport by aircraft, must be transported as cargo and may not be
carried onboard an aircraft by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on
baggage, checked baggage, or on their person unless specifically
excepted by Sec. 175.10.'' This clarification will align the HMR with
the previously discussed changes made to the ICAO TI with regard to the
air transport of non-spillable batteries that are excepted from the
HMR.
Section 173.160
Section 173.160 prescribes packaging requirements for ``Bombs,
smoke, non-explosive'' when shipped without ignition devices. PHMSA is
revising the

[[Page 1012]]

list of packagings permitted for ``Bombs, smoke, non-explosive''
shipped without ignition devices. Specifically, PHMSA is adding the
authorization to use metal (4A, 4B, and 4N), fiberboard (4G) or solid
plastic (4H2) boxes, or metal (1A2, 1B2, and 1N2), plastic (1H2),
plywood (1D), or fiber (1G) drums.
Section 173.162
Section 173.162 prescribes the packaging requirements for ``UN2803,
Gallium.'' PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(1), to permit both open and
closed steel, metal, other that steel and aluminium drums (1A1, 1N1,
1N2, 1H1, 3A2 or 3H2) in addition to the packaging options currently
authorized.
Further, PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(2), to permit metal, other
than steel or aluminium (4N) boxes; metal, other than steel or
aluminium drums (1N1, 1N2); and plastic drums (1H1 or 1H2) in addition
to the packaging options currently authorized.
In addition, PHMSA is clarifying paragraph (c) by stating that
``for transport by aircraft, must be transported as cargo and may not
be carried onboard an aircraft by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on
baggage, checked baggage, or on their person unless specifically
excepted by Sec. 175.10.'' This clarification will align the HMR with
the previously discussed changes adopted in the ICAO Technical
Instructions regarding the air transport of gallium otherwise excepted
from the HMR.
Section 173.164
Section 173.164 prescribes the packaging requirements for Mercury
(metallic and articles containing mercury). In this final rule, PHMSA
is revising paragraph (a)(1), to permit steel drums; metal, other that
steel and aluminum drums (1A1, 1N1, 1N2) and metal, other than steel or
aluminum boxes (4N), in addition to the packaging options currently
authorized in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).
Paragraph (f) is added to provide an exception to the requirements
of the HMR for vessel transport of manufactured articles or instruments
containing less than 0.45 kg (1.0 pound) of mercury. This exception is
inserted to mirror an existing IMDG Code provision and harmonize the
requirements for vessel shipments of mercury contained in manufactured
articles as much as possible.
In addition, PHMSA is clarifying paragraphs (a)(5), (b), and (c)(2)
of this section by adding the phrase ``when transported as cargo.''
This clarification will align the HMR with the previously discussed
changes adopted in the ICAO Technical Instructions regarding the air
transport of manufactured articles containing mercury otherwise
excepted from the HMR.
Section 173.165
Section 173.165 prescribes the transport and packaging requirements
for polyester resin kits. PHMSA is revising Sec. 173.165 to better
align the packaging and other requirements for UN3269, Polyester resin
kits with the various international modal standards. These amendments
correct inconsistencies adopted in a final rule published in the
Federal Register on January 19, 2011 (76 FR 3308; HM-215K).
Section 173.175
Section 173.175 prescribes the transport and packaging requirements
for permeation devices. Currently, permeation devices containing
hazardous materials that are used for calibrating air quality
monitoring devices are not subject to the HMR provided they meet
specific requirements that include packaging, quantity limitations,
testing, and transport controls.
PHMSA is adding a new paragraph (g) stating that ``for transport by
aircraft, must be transported as cargo and may not be carried onboard
an aircraft by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on baggage, checked
baggage, or on their person unless specifically excepted by Sec.
175.10.'' This clarification aligns the HMR with changes adopted in the
ICAO Technical Instructions regarding the air transport of permeation
devices that are otherwise excepted from the HMR.
Section 173.176
Electric double layer capacitors are devices that store but do not
produce electrical energy. They contribute to increased fuel efficiency
in many alternative energy solutions such as hybrid vehicles. Some
double layer capacitors contain flammable liquid absorbed in a solid
with small amounts present as free liquid while others use a liquid
electrolyte. Currently, the HMR do not contain specific requirements to
address the transport of electric double layer capacitors.
New Section 173.176 addresses electric double layer capacitors,
prescribing the testing, marking, safety, and packaging requirements
for electric double layer capacitors with an energy storage capacity
greater than 0.3 Wh. PHMSA is incorporating these requirements
consistent with the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations.
These amendments address potential electrical and other hazards arising
from the release of hazardous materials during the transportation of
these articles.
Section 173.181
Section 173.181 prescribes the non-bulk packaging requirements
applicable to pyrophoric liquids. Paragraph (b) of this section
specifies the specification boxes authorized to package these
substances. PHMSA is revising paragraph (b) by adding packaging
authorizations for steel boxes (4A), aluminum boxes (4B), metal boxes,
other than steel or aluminum (4N), or fiberboard boxes (4G); steel
drums (1A1 or 1A2), aluminum drums (1B1 or 1B2), metal drums, other
than steel or aluminum (1N1 or 1N2), plywood drums (1D), or fiber drums
(1G); or steel jerricans (3A1 or 3A2) or aluminum jerricans (3B1 or
3B2).
Section 173.183
Section 173.183 prescribes the packaging requirements for
nitrocellulose base film. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, PHMSA is adding other metal drums (4A2), aluminum jerricans
(3B2), and steel, aluminum or other metal (4A, 4B, 4N) boxes, to the
list of authorized packagings.
Section 173.184
Section 173.184 provides the definition and packaging requirements
for highway or rail fusees. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, steel (1A2), aluminum (1B2) or other metal (1N2) drums;
steel (3A2) or aluminum (3B2) jerricans; and steel (4A), aluminum (4B)
or other metal (4N) boxes are added to the list of authorized
packagings.
Section 173.186
Section 173.186 provides definitions and packaging requirements for
various types of matches. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, PHMSA is adding packaging options to the list permitted for
strike-anywhere matches specified in paragraph (f) of this section.
Specifically steel drums (1A1 or 1A2), aluminum drums (1B1 or 1B2),
other metal drums (1N1, 1N2), steel jerricans (3A1, 3A2), aluminum
jerricans (3B1, 3B2), steel (4A), aluminum (4N) and other metal (4N)
boxes are added to the list of authorized packagings.
Section 173.187
Section 173.187 prescribes the packaging requirements for
pyrophoric solids, metals or alloys, n.o.s. To provide greater
flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding packaging

[[Page 1013]]

options to the list permitted for pyrophoric solids, metals or alloys,
n.o.s. specified in paragraph (a) and (d) of this section.
Specifically, steel, aluminum or other metal boxes (4A, 4B or 4N) are
added to the list of authorized packagings in paragraph (a). In
addition, steel, aluminum or other metal drums (1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 1B2, 1N1
or 1N2) are added to the list of authorized packagings in paragraph
(d).
Section 173.188
Section 173.187 prescribes the packaging requirements for white and
yellow phosphorus. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, steel, aluminum or other metal boxes (4A, 4B or 4N) are
added to the list of authorized packagings in paragraph (a)(1). In
addition, PHMSA is adding steel, aluminum or other metal drums (1A1,
1B1 or 1N1) not over 250 L (66 gallons) capacity each and steel,
aluminum or other metal drums (1A2, 1B2, or 1N2) not over 115 L (30
gallons) capacity each, to the list of authorized packagings in
paragraph (a)(2).
Section 173.189
Section 173.189 prescribes the packaging and transport requirements
for batteries containing sodium or cells containing sodium. To provide
greater flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding 1N2, 4A,
4B, 4N, 4H1, 3A2, 3B3 and 3H2 outer packagings to the list of
authorized outer packagings in paragraph (b).
Section 173.193
Section 173.193 prescribes the packaging requirements for
bromoacetone, methyl bromide, chloropicrin and methyl bromide or methyl
chloride mixtures. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, metal boxes (4A, 4B or 4N) are added to the list of
authorized outer packagings in paragraph (a).
Section 173.194
Section 173.194 prescribes the packaging requirements for gas
identification sets. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, metal boxes (4A, 4B or 4N) are added to the list of
authorized outer packagings in paragraphs (b)(1) and (b)(2).
Section 173.196
Section 173.196 prescribes the packaging requirements for Category
A infectious substances. To provide greater flexibility in packaging
selection, PHMSA is adding drums (1A1, 1A2, 1B1, 1B2, 1N1, 1N2, 1H1,
1H2, 1D, 1G); boxes (4A, 4B, 4N, 4C1, 4C2, 4D, 4F, 4G, 4H1, 4H2); or
jerricans (3A1, 3A2, 3B1, 3B2, 3H1, 3H2) as examples of the types of
authorized ``rigid outer packaging'' referenced in paragraph (a)(3).
Section 173.199
Section 173.199 prescribes the packaging requirements for category
B infectious substances. Paragraph (d) of this section provides the
requirements for refrigerated or frozen specimens in ice, dry ice or
liquid nitrogen. These provisions include the requirement to secure
secondary packages.
Consistent with an editorial amendment to Packing Instruction P650
in the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA is
removing the language ``position after the ice or dry ice has
dissipated'' from the requirements to secure secondary packages.
Section 173.201
Section 173.201 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
liquid hazardous materials in packing group I. To provide greater
flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other
than steel or aluminum: 4N'' to authorized outer packagings of
combination packagings listed in paragraph (b) of this section.
Section 173.202
Section 173.202 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
liquid hazardous materials in packing group II. To provide greater
flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other
than steel or aluminum: 4N'' to the authorized outer packagings of
combination packagings indicated in paragraph (b).
Section 173.203
Section 173.203 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
liquid hazardous materials in packing group III. To provide greater
flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other
than steel or aluminum: 4N'' to the authorized outer packagings of
combination packagings indicated in paragraph (b).
Section 173.211
Section 173.211 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
hazardous materials in packing group I. To provide greater flexibility
in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other than steel or
aluminum: 4N'' to the authorized outer packagings of combination
packagings indicated in paragraph (b) and the single packagings
authorized in paragraph (c).
Section 173.212
Section 173.212 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
hazardous materials in packing group II. To provide greater flexibility
in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other than steel or
aluminum: 4N'' to authorized outer packagings of combination packagings
indicated in paragraph (b). Further, we are adding ``Metal box other
than steel or aluminum: 4N'' and ``Metal box other than steel or
aluminum with liner: 4N'' to authorized single packagings permitted in
paragraph (c) of this section.
Section 173.213
Section 173.213 prescribes the authorized non-bulk packagings for
hazardous materials in packing group III. To provide greater
flexibility in packaging selection, PHMSA is adding ``Metal box other
than steel or aluminum: 4N'' to the authorized outer packagings of
combination packagings indicated in paragraph (b). Further, we are
adding ``Metal box other than steel or aluminum: 4N'' and ``Metal box
other than steel or aluminum with liner: 4N'' to the single packagings
authorized in paragraph (c).
Section 173.219
Section 173.219 prescribes the transport conditions and packaging
requirements for life saving appliances. Paragraph (b) of this section
provides a list of hazardous materials that a life-saving appliance is
permitted to contain as well as other transport requirements.
Currently, the transport conditions specified in paragraph (b)(1) of
this section specify that Division 2.2 compressed gases, including
oxygen are permitted; however, oxygen generators are not. In this final
rule, PHMSA is broadening the materials permitted in life-saving
appliances by modifying paragraph (b)(1) to include liquefied gases as
well.
Paragraph (c) of this section prescribes the packaging requirements
and exceptions provided for life saving appliances. Subsequent changes
are proposed to paragraph (c)(1) of this section to reflect this
inclusion of liquefied gases discussed previously. Furthermore,
paragraph (c)(5) currently states that, for other than transportation
by aircraft, life-saving appliances containing no hazardous materials
other than carbon dioxide with a capacity not exceeding 100 cm\3\ are
not subject to the provisions of this subchapter provided they are
overpacked in rigid outer packagings with a maximum gross mass of 40
kg. In this final rule, PHMSA is

[[Page 1014]]

revising the exception in (c)(5) by replacing the language ``carbon
dioxide'' with ``cylinders of Division 2.2 compressed or liquefied
gases with no subsidiary risk,'' and the quantity limit ``100 cm\3\''
with ``120 mL, installed solely for the purpose of activating the
appliance.''
In addition, we are further clarifying paragraph (c)(5) of this
section by adding the statement, ``For transportation by aircraft, such
appliances must be transported as cargo and may not be carried onboard
an aircraft by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on baggage, checked
baggage, or on their person unless specifically excepted by Sec.
175.10.'' This clarification aligns the HMR with the recently adopted
changes in the ICAO Technical Instructions regarding the air transport
of life saving appliances that would otherwise be excepted from the
HMR.
Section 173.220
Section 173.220 prescribes packaging requirements for internal
combustion engines, self-propelled vehicles, mechanical equipment
containing internal combustion engines, battery-powered equipment or
machinery, fuel cell-powered equipment or machinery. In this rule PHMSA
is amending paragraph (d) to cross reference the IBR Sec. 171.7.
Section 173.221
Section 173.221 prescribes the non-bulk packaging requirements for
Polymeric beads (or granules), expandable, evolving flammable vapor and
Plastic molding compound in dough, sheet or extruded rope form,
evolving flammable vapor. PHMSA is adding the following packaging
authorizations: metal (4A, 4B, or 4N), and plastic (4H1 or 4H2) drums,
and 1N1, 1N2 drums in vapor tight metal or plastic jerricans (3A1, 3A2,
3B1, 3B2, 3H1, or 3H2). PHMSA is also adding a paragraph to the section
that reference the reader to a newly created Sec. 176.907 for cargo
transport and hazard communication marking requirements for shipments
of Polymeric beads expandable, evolving flammable vapor and Plastic
molding compound in dough, sheet or extruded rope form, evolving
flammable vapor when transported by vessel. These changes address the
safety hazard presented by shipments of polymeric beads or plastic
molding compounds off-gassing flammable vapors during vessel transport.
See Section 176.907 for a detailed discussion of our addition of these
vessel cargo transport requirements.
Section 173.225
Section 173.225 prescribes the packaging requirements and other
provisions for organic peroxides. Packaging requirements for organic
peroxides are very specific and include requirements for the
concentration by mass permitted, diluents percentage, water mass,
temperature controls and organic peroxide specific packing methods.
Paragraph (c) of this section contains and describes the organic
peroxide table and how specific organic peroxides are to be
transported. In addition, paragraph (e) contains a separate table that
prescribes the packaging requirements for organic peroxides packaged in
IBCs. As self-insulating hazardous materials, organic peroxides can
pose different risks when transported in larger quantities. Thus, a
separate table unique to the transport of these substances in IBCs is
contained in the HMR. The ``Organic Peroxide IBC Table'' includes
maximum quantities permitted to be packaged and any temperature and
emergency controls.
The organic peroxides tables in paragraphs (c) and (e) specify by
technical name those organic peroxides that are authorized for
transportation and not subject to the approval provisions of Sec.
173.128. An organic peroxide identified by technical name is authorized
for transportation only if it conforms to all applicable provisions of
these tables. In this final rule, we are amending the Organic Peroxides
Tables in Sec. 173.225 by adding new entries and revising current
entries to account for new organic peroxides and formulations that are
commercially available.
The following entries are added in the Sec. 173.225(c) organic
peroxides table:

UN3106, ``([3R-(3R,5aS,6S,8aS,9R,10R,12S,12aR**)]-Decahydro-10methoxy-
3,6,9-trimethyl-3,12-epoxy-12H-pyrano[4,3-j]-1,2-benzodioxepin)''
UN3110, ``3,6,9-Triethyl-3,6,9-trimethyl-1,4,7-triperoxonane''
UN3119, ``Di-(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide''

The following current entries in the Sec. 173.225(c) organic
peroxides table are amended:

UN3115, ``Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate''
UN3115, ``Di-(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide''

The following entries are added to the Sec. 173.225(e) Organic
Peroxide IBC Table:

UN3119 ``Diisobutyryl peroxide, not more than 28% as a stable
dispersion in water''
UN3119, ``Diisobutyryl peroxide, not more than 42% as a stable
dispersion in water''

The following entries are amended in the Sec. 173.225(e) Organic
Peroxide IBC Table:

UN3119 ``Di-(3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide, not more than 38% in
diluent type A''
UN3119 ``1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl peroxyneodecanoate, not more than
52%, stable dispersion, in water''
Section 173.226
Section 173.226 prescribes the packaging requirements for Materials
poisonous by inhalation, Division 6.1, Packing Group I, Hazard Zone A.
Specifically, this section authorizes the transport of Materials
poisonous by inhalation, Division 6.1, Packing Group I, Hazard Zone A
in specification cylinders, specification drums packaged further in
specification drums and combination packages. PHMSA is revising the
requirements of paragraph (c) by adding an authorization to package
such materials in ``Metal box other than steel or aluminum: 4N'' drums.
In addition, PHMSA is correcting an editorial error by replacing the
incorrect wording ``Expanded plastic box: 4H2'' with the correct
wording ``Expanded plastic box: 4H1.''
Section 173.230
Section 173.230 prescribes the transport requirements for fuel cell
cartridges containing hazardous material. Paragraph (e) of this section
prescribes the packaging requirements for fuel cell cartridges
containing hazardous material. Furthermore, paragraph (e)(2)(ii) notes
that ``Fuel cell cartridges contained in equipment must be protected
against short circuits and the entire fuel cell system must be
protected from unintentional activation. The equipment must be securely
cushioned in the outer packaging.'' As currently stated in the HMR,
this requirement may imply that only fuel cell cartridges contained in
equipment, not the fuel cell system, would have to be protected against
short circuits. This is not the intent of this requirement. Therefore,
PHMSA is clarifying that the entire fuel cell system must be protected
against short circuits and unintentional activation.
Section 173.240
Section 173.240 prescribes the bulk packagings authorized for
certain low hazard solid materials. As discussed previously, PHMSA is
adopting flexible bulk container provisions throughout the HMR.

[[Page 1015]]

In this section, PHMSA is adding paragraph (f) that authorizes the
use of FBCs for certain low hazard solid materials. Specifically,
paragraph (f) permits the use of FBCs if B120 is indicated in Column
(7) of the specific entry in Sec. 172.101 HMT and the FBC conforms to
the requirements in subparts R and S of part 178 of the HMR.
Furthermore, paragraph (f) notes that FBCs may not be used for Packing
Group I or II hazardous materials. Only select low hazard solid
materials are authorized for transport in FBCs. The use of FBCs for the
transportation of an HMT entry not assigned special provision B120 is
prohibited.
Section 173.301b
Section 173.301b provides additional general requirements for
shipment of UN pressure receptacles. Recent international adoption of
this standard leads PHMSAto incorporate by reference ISO 13340:2001(E)
Transportable gas cylinders--Cylinder valves for non-refillable
cylinders--Specification and prototype testing, First edition, 2004-04-
01, and require all non-refillable UN pressure receptacle valves to be
in compliance with this standard.
Section 173.306
Section 173.306 prescribes the exceptions for limited quantities of
compressed gases including aerosols. Paragraph (a) of this section
prescribes the general requirements for limited quantities of
compressed gases while paragraph (j) specifically addresses aerosols
and receptacles small, containing gas, with a capacity of less than 50
mL.
In this final rule, we are revising paragraph (j) to note that
aerosols conforming to this paragraph, when offered for transportation
by air, must be transported as cargo and may not be carried onboard an
aircraft by passengers or crewmembers in carry-on baggage, checked
baggage, or on their person unless specifically excepted by Sec.
175.10. This clarification aligns the HMR with the previously discussed
changes adopted in the ICAO Technical Instructions regarding the air
transport of aerosols that are otherwise excepted from the HMR.
Section 173.313
Section 173.313 contains instructions for UN portable tanks and the
table for liquefied compressed gases. The UN Portable Tank Table for
Liquefied Compressed Gases is referenced in Sec. 172.102(c)(7)(iii) of
the HMR for portable tanks used to transport liquefied compressed
gases.
Chemical manufacturers throughout the world are currently supplying
pressurized products contained and transported in gas cylinders. The
products are liquids or solids such as adhesives, coatings and cleaners
combined with a gas or gas mixtures in pressure receptacles under
sufficient pressure to expel the contents. These mixtures are typically
expelled from the pressurized receptacles as foams, streams or thick
sprays. Under the current HMR these types of products are classified as
liquefied gases and transported in accordance with the applicable
sections for the liquefied gases in which they are classified. A
typical product however is a combination of a propellant (gas phase)
and a liquid or solid component, and therefore the term liquefied gas
does not correctly reflect the contents. As they are not filled in
aerosol dispensers and as the receptacles used exceed the volume
limitations for aerosols, they may not be transported as aerosols. The
United Nations Sub-Committee of experts on the Transportation of
Dangerous goods agreed to create new entries (UN numbers) for these
products to address their unique characteristics and corresponding
regulations to address the safe transport of such materials.
In this final rule, we are adopting entries in the HMT for various
chemicals under pressure and the corresponding packaging provisions. We
are modifying Sec. 173.313 to include the packaging requirements for
chemicals under pressure transported in portable tanks. Specifically,
we are revising the section title, introductory test, and table name to
reflect that chemicals under pressure are addressed in this section. We
are also adding table entries for identification numbers UN3500,
UN3501, UN3502, UN3503, UN3504 and UN3505. Lastly, we are correcting
the maximum filling density for UN3220.
The addition of packaging requirements specific to chemicals under
pressure will ensure that an appropriate level of safety is achieved
for these unique materials. PHMSA participated in, and concurs with,
the discussions and decisions regarding the packagings selected for
these materials. The packagings adopted by the UN, ICAO and IMO provide
an appropriate level of safety for these materials and, thus, PHMSA is
adopting similar packagings in the HMR. Furthermore, aligning with
international packaging standards facilitates the movement of these
materials both domestically and internationally.
Section 173.316
Section 173.316 provides the requirements for cryogenic liquids
contained in cylinders. Specifically, the HMR requires each cylinder
containing cryogenic liquids be equipped with one or more pressure
relief devices.
PHMSA is revising Sec. 173.316, ``Cryogenic Liquids in Cylinders''
to include a requirement consistent with the UN Model Regulations that
all pressure relief device inlets must under maximum filling conditions
be situated in the vapor space of the closed cryogenic receptacle and
the devices must be so arranged as to ensure that the escaping vapor is
discharged unobstructed.
This requirement will enhance safety by assisting in the proper
function of the pressure release devices. Further, it will prevent
unsafe conditions in transport if the liquid form of the gas were
released through the pressure release device. For instance, if the gas
released is a Division 2.1 (flammable) gas or a Division 2.3
(poisonous) gas, it will reduce the opportunity for the released liquid
form of the gas to create an asphyxiant environment through the rapid
displacement of the normal concentration of oxygen in the breathable
atmosphere. Finally, it will reduce the potential of released cryogenic
oxygen in liquid form to create an oxygen enriched atmosphere that may
explosively combust.
Section 173.318
Section 173.318 provides the requirements for cryogenic liquids
contained in cargo tanks. Specifically, the HMR requires each cargo
tank containing cryogenic liquids be equipped with one or more pressure
relief devices.
PHMSA is revising Sec. 173.318, ``Cryogenic Liquids in Cargo
Tanks'' to include a requirement consistent with the UN Model
Regulations that all pressure relief device inlets must under maximum
filling conditions be situated in the vapor space of the closed
cryogenic receptacle and the devices be so arranged as to ensure that
the escaping vapor is discharged unobstructed.
This requirement will enhance safety by assisting in the proper
function of the pressure release devices. Further, it will prevent
unsafe conditions in transport if the liquid form of the gas were
released through the pressure release device. For instance, if the gas
released is a Division 2.1 (flammable) gas or a Division 2.3
(poisonous) gas, it would reduce the opportunity for the released
liquid form of the gas to create an asphyxiant

[[Page 1016]]

environment through the rapid displacement of the normal concentration
of oxygen in the breathable atmosphere. Finally it will reduce the
chance of released cryogenic oxygen in liquid form creating an oxygen
enriched atmosphere that may explosively combust.
Section 173.335
Section 173.335 is created to provide packaging requirements for
new HMT entries ``Chemical under pressure n.o.s.'' Specifically, PHMSA
is adopting transport requirements, filling limits, minimum service
pressure, and periodic inspection requirements for cylinders utilized
for shipments of chemical under pressure n.o.s.
Cylinders used to ship chemical under pressure n.o.s. must be
authorized UN or DOT cylinders for the propellant and otherwise conform
to the applicable requirements of subpart G of part 173. 3M noted in
their comments to the August 15, 2012 NPRM that while PHMSA created a
section that included filling limits for cylinders containing chemical
under pressure, we did not increase the water capacity for non-
refillable UN pressure receptacles filled with chemical under pressure
classed as flammable or toxic. In Sec. 173.301b non-refillable
cylinders containing a flammable or a toxic gas are limited to 1.25
liters. The UN authorizes non-refillable cylinders with a capacity up
to 50 liters when it contains a chemical under pressure. In this final
rule we will revise Sec. Sec. 173.301b and 173.302a to increase the
maximum allowable water capacity for non-refillable cylinders
containing chemical under pressure to 50 liters (3050 in3).
Section 173.340
Section 173.340 prescribes the packaging requirements for NA1693,
tear gas devices. PHMSA is revising the packaging requirements in
paragraphs (c) and (d) by authorizing the use of 4A, 4B, or 4N metal
boxes, and 1B2, 1N2, or 1H2 drums.

Part 175

Section 175.8
Section 175.8 provides exceptions from certain regulations for air
carrier operator equipment and items of replacement. ICAO amended the
Technical Instructions applicable to exceptions from certain
regulations for air carrier operator equipment and items of
replacement, and to better reflect items that may be sold as part of
duty free services. PHMSA is revising paragraph (b)(2) of this section
to add portable electronic devices containing lithium batteries to the
list of items permitted aboard an aircraft for use or sale on that
specific aircraft.
Section 175.10
Section 175.10 specifies the conditions for which passengers, crew
members, or an operator may carry hazardous materials aboard an
aircraft. Consistent with revisions to the ICAO Technical Instructions,
in this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(14), the conditions
under which electrically powered heat-producing articles may be carried
aboard an aircraft. The requirement that the heat-producing component,
or the energy source, must be removed to prevent unintentional
functioning during transport is being revised to permit the removal of
another component, such as a fuse, to prevent unintentional functioning
during transport. In addition the paragraph is being revised to specify
procedures for protecting any removed battery from short circuit during
transport. PHMSA is also adding paragraphs (a)(20), (a)(21), (a)(22),
(a)(23), and (a)(24) to specify conditions under which permeation
devices for calibrating air quality monitoring equipment, internal
combustion or fuel cell engines, non-infectious specimens, insulated
packagings containing refrigerated liquid nitrogen, and small
compressed gas cartridges fitted into devices, respectively, may be
carried aboard an aircraft.
PHMSA received one comment from the FCHEA requesting that we amend
Sec. 175.10(a)(19) to allow fuel cell cartridges containing flammable
gas in Division 2.1 and fuel cells containing water reactive materials
in Division 4.3 in checked passenger baggage. PHMSA did not propose
changes to the provisions allowing for the checking of limited types of
fuel cells in the NPRM, and consider this request to be outside the
scope of this rulemaking.
PRBA noted in their comments to the NPRM that the 2013-2014 ICAO
Technical Instructions contain a provision that authorizes passengers
to carry portable medical electronic devices aboard passenger aircraft
with lithium metal batteries containing up to 8 grams of lithium metal.
While this amendment should be added to the HMR it was not included in
the August 15, 2012 NPRM and the public has not been provided notice of
any intent to add a new exception for lithium battery-containing
portable medical devices in Sec. 175.10 or afforded the opportunity to
provide us with written data, views, or arguments to aid our decision.
As the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 requires harmonization
in this instance, we will propose to adopt this exception in a future
rulemaking.

Part 176

Section 176.2
Section 176.2 provides definitions of terms specifically as they
pertain to Part 176. In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting various
revisions to the vessel stowage and segregation requirements specified
in Part 176. As part of these changes certain terminology must be
defined.
The term ``Closed cargo transport unit for Class 1'' is defined by
the IMDG Code as a freight container or transport vehicle that fully
encloses the contents by permanent structures and can be secured to the
ship's structure and are, except for the carriage of division 1.4
explosives, structurally serviceable (see Sec. 176.172). Portable
magazines conforming to Sec. 176.137 are also considered closed cargo
transport units for Class 1. Small compartments such as deck houses and
mast lockers are included. Cargo transport units with fabric sides or
tops are not closed cargo transport units. The floor of any closed
cargo transport unit must either be constructed of wood, close-boarded
or so arranged that goods are stowed on sparred gratings, wooden
pallets or dunnage. The IMO adopted this new definition for ``closed
cargo transport unit for Class 1'' to define the characteristics
required for cargo transport units carrying explosives by vessel.
A new definition for ``potential or possible sources of ignition''
was adopted by the IMO for incorporation in the next published IMDG
Code. The term ``Potential or possible sources of ignition'' as defined
in the IMDG Code ``means but is not limited to, open fires, machinery
exhausts, galley uptakes, electrical outlets and electrical equipment
including those on refrigerated or heated cargo transport units unless
they are of certified safe type.'' The text ``means but is not limited
to'' indicates that the list of potential or possible sources of
ignition is not all inclusive; as it is impossible to identify in a
definition all potential or possible sources of ignition that may exist
on a variety of vessels with various engineering designs and stowage
configurations. PHMSA is adopting a definition for ``Potential or
possible sources of ignition'' that replaces ``of certified safe type''
with ``designed to operate in a hazardous environment.'' This change is
due to some ambiguity as to what is considered a certified safe type of
refrigerated or heated cargo transport unit. Adoption of this

[[Page 1017]]

definition will provide guidance to vessel stowage planners in
determining safe stowage locations for cargo on board vessels.
The term ``Protected from sources of heat'' as defined by the IMDG
Code means ``that packages and cargo transport units must be stowed at
least 2.4 m from heated ship structures, where the surface temperature
is liable to exceed 131 [deg]F (55 [deg]C). Examples of heated
structures are steam pipes, heating coils, top or side walls of heated
fuel and cargo tanks, and bulkheads of machinery spaces. In addition,
packages not loaded inside a cargo transport unit and stowed on deck
must be shaded from direct sunlight. The surface of a cargo transport
unit can heat rapidly when in direct sunlight in nearly windless
conditions and the cargo may also become heated. Depending on the
nature of the goods in the cargo transport unit and the planned voyage
precautions must be taken to ensure that exposure to direct sunlight is
reduced''. This definition was adopted by the IMO for inclusion in the
next IMDG Code to provide a list of possible sources of heat a cargo
transport unit might encounter during vessel transport. This definition
also includes requirements for break bulk packages stowed on deck that
are required to be protected from sources of heat by means of a stowage
provision or a general stowage requirement found in Part 176.
PHMSA received one comment from IVODGA concerning the proposed
definition of ``protected from sources of heat.'' IVODGA suggested that
at the end of the new definition for ``protected from sources of heat''
we include that ``* * * containers should not be stowed in the upper
most tier position when this is required, which does not include tank
units that have protective insulation shields'' since the new
definition seems to bridge the older shade from radiant heat and other
heat related factors onboard vessels. PHMSA does not see the need to be
more specific and restrictive than the internationally accepted
definition calls for and is maintaining the definition of protected
from sources of heat as proposed in the NPRM.
Therefore, in this final rule, PHMSA is adding definitions in this
section for the terms, ``Closed cargo transport unit for Class 1,''
``Potential or possible sources of ignition'' and ``Protected from
sources of heat'' with additional text clarifying that a portable
magazine conforming to Sec. 176.137 is also considered ``closed cargo
transport unit for Class 1.''
Section 176.63
Section 176.63 prescribes supplementary requirements with respect
to the stowage of specific hazardous materials in addition to those
authorized in the HMT in Sec. 172.101. This section sets forth the
basic physical requirements for the authorized vessel stowage
locations.
One commenter (SAAMI) noted that limited quantity shipments are
assigned the least restrictive stowage category and are excepted from
additional stowage provisions in 3.4.3 of the IMDG Code and requested
that PHMSA do the same. PHMSA agrees and is revising paragraph (a) of
this section to allocate stowage category A to hazardous materials
offered as limited quantities, and to except these shipments from the
other stowage provisions assigned in column 10B of the HMT for
shipments of limited quantities.
PHMSA is also revising paragraph (b) of this section by replacing
the phrase ``shade from radiant heat'' with the phrase ``protected from
sources of heat.'' This revision of terminology is necessary to
incorporate other changes to the vessel stowage codes in Column 10 B of
the HMT.
PHMSA is also revising paragraph (e) of this section to remove
references to magazine stowage type A and C, as the definition of
``closed cargo transport unit for Class 1'' was added to Sec. 176.2
references to magazine stowage type A and C are no longer needed in
this section.
Paragraph (e) also contains an exception for empty packages
containing residue (excluding Class 2.3 empty packages containing
residue and waste aerosols), including IBCs and large packages to be
stowed on deck, or under deck if in a mechanically ventilated cargo
space. This exception will apply regardless of the stowage provisions
indicated in Sec. 172.101(k). PHMSA believes the reduced hazard
present in empty packages containing residue combined with the
mechanically ventilated cargo space warrants a relaxation of stowage
requirements for shipments of empty packages (excluding Class 2.3 and
waste aerosols) that otherwise would require on deck stowage.
Section 176.76
Section 176.76 specifies the requirements for transport vehicles,
freight containers, and portable tanks containing hazardous materials
transported via vessel.
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a new paragraph (a)(11)
requiring that banding or securing straps used to secure packages must
not be over tightened to cause damage or deformation of the packages or
the securing points within the freight container or transport vehicle.
PHMSA is adopting this change to harmonize cargo securement
requirements in the HMR with recently adopted changes in the IMDG Code.
This requirement is intended to prevent undue stress and potential
damage to packages and tie down points during transport.
PHMSA had originally proposed to replace the existing paragraph
(a)(9) with this regulatory text, but received one comment from IVODGA
noting that the provisions of (a)(9) concerning security devices is
still necessary, and a request to maintain the current text of (a)(9)
and simply insert a new paragraph with the proposed text. PHMSA agrees
and is maintaining the current paragraph (a)(9). IVODGA also requested
that the following text be included at the end of the newly proposed
paragraph of our proposed text: ``* * * or transport vehicle. The
Maximum Securing Load on internal container lashing, securing or anchor
points shall not be exceeded.'' PHMSA believes that inserting IVODGA's
proposal would be very difficult to enforce, as anchor points in
containers are not marked with maximum securing loads. Additionally
PHMSA believes that the language proposed in the NPRM accounts for
IVODGA's concerns as deformation of the securing points is indicative
of exceeding the securing points capabilities.
PHMSA received an additional comment from IVODGA requesting we
amend Sec. 176.76 to require transport equipment with refrigerated or
heating units used for the transport of hazardous materials of Division
2.1, Class 3, or those capable of releasing flammable vapors during
transport to be equipped with explosion proof electrical fittings.
PHMSA has determined that such an amendment is beyond the scope of the
proposals presented in the August 15, 2012 NPRM and therefore will not
be addressed in this final rule.
Section 176.83
Section 176.83 prescribes the general vessel segregation
requirements. Paragraph (m) of this section specifies additional
segregation requirements for certain groups of hazardous materials.
Paragraph (m)(2) of this section prescribes segregation requirements
for materials shipped under n.o.s. entries. Furthermore, paragraph
(m)(3) discusses materials that fall outside the defining criteria for
hazardous materials, but display chemical properties similar to

[[Page 1018]]

hazardous materials listed in segregation groups.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraph (m)(2) to clarify
that the offeror of hazardous materials is responsible for deciding if
allocation of a segregation group is appropriate. We are also revising
paragraph (m)(3) to clarify that the offer of hazardous materials for
transportation or the person packing the cargo transport unit is
responsible for identifying a relevant segregation group and applying
the segregation requirements for that segregation group. These
revisions will replace the current term ``shipper,'' which is not
defined in Sec. 171.8, with the terms ``offeror'' and ``person who
offers'' which are defined terms in Sec. 171.8.
Section 176.84
Section 176.84 prescribes the meanings and requirements for
numbered or alpha-numeric stowage provisions for vessel shipments
listed in column 10B of the Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table.
The provisions in Sec. 176.84 are broken down into general stowage
provisions whose meanings are defined in the ``table of provisions'' in
paragraph (b), and the stowage provisions applicable to vessel
shipments of Class 1 explosives defined in the table to paragraph
(c)(2).
PHMSA is revising stowage provisions 25 and 128 and deleting
stowage provisions 19, 48, and 50 from the table in paragraph (b).
Stowage provision 25 is revised from ``Shade from radiant heat'' to
read ``Protected from sources of heat.'' Stowage provision 128 is
revised from ``Stow in accordance with the IMDG Code, Sub-section
7.1.10.3 (incorporated by reference; see Sec. 171.7 of this
subchapter)'' to read ``Stow in accordance with the IMDG Code, Sub-
section 7.6.2.7.2 (incorporated by reference; see Sec. 171.7 of this
subchapter).'' Deleted stowage provision 19 previously read ``Protect
from sparks and open flames.'' Deleted stowage provision 48 previously
read ``Stow ``away from'' sources of heat''. Deleted stowage provision
50 previously read ``Stow ``away from'' sources of heat where
temperatures in excess of 55 [deg]C (131 [deg]F) for a period of 24
hours or more will be encountered.''
The current stowage provision table in paragraph (b) contains three
listings requiring shipments to be either shaded or stowed away from
sources of heat. The addition of a standard definition for ``protected
from sources of heat'' to the list of definitions in Sec. 176.2 has
rendered stowage provisions 19, 48, and 50 redundant and all HMT
listings previously assigned stowage provisions 19 or 48 have been
assigned the revised stowage provision 25. Furthermore, no listings in
the current HMR are assigned stowage provision 50; therefore, we are
deleting it and all references to it. The change to stowage provision
128 will account for a citation change in the newest edition of the
IMDG Code.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising explosive stowage provision
26E and deleting explosive stowage provisions 7E, 8E, and 20E from the
table in paragraph (c)(2). Deleted explosive stowage provision 7E
previously read ``Stowage category ``04'' for projectiles or cartridges
for guns, cannons or mortars; Stowage category ``08'' for other
types.'' Deleted explosive stowage provision 8E previously read ``When
under deck, special stowage is required.'' Deleted explosive stowage
provision 20E previously read ``Stowage category ``03'' for projectiles
or cartridges for guns, cannons or mortars; Stowage category ``07'' for
other types; magazines must be of steel construction that prevents
leakage.'' Changes to explosive stowage provisions 7E, 8E, and 20E are
necessary to account for revisions to the stowage category definitions
proposed in Sec. 172.101(k). Additionally, as a result of the removal
of stowage provisions 10 and 13 from Sec. 172.101(k), PHMSA is
revising explosive stowage provision 26E in Sec. 176.84. Please see
section 172.101 for explosive stowage codes associated with HMT entries
previously assigned these explosive stowage provisions and a list of
entries these provisions have been removed from.
Section 176.116
Section 176.116 prescribes the general stowage conditions for Class
1 explosive materials. Paragraph (a) of this section prescribes
explosive stowage requirements, which take into account heat and
sources of ignition. Paragraph (f) of this section prescribes
explosives stowage requirements for under deck storage. PHMSA is
revising paragraph (a) to clarify the general stowage conditions for
Class 1 materials on board vessels and deleting and reserving paragraph
(f).
PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(1) to require explosive materials
to be stowed in a cool part of the ship, to be kept as cool as
practicable while on board, and to be stowed as far away as practicable
from any potential source of heat or ignition. This change is due to
the inclusion of a definition for ``potential source of heat or
ignition'' in Sec. 176.2. A new paragraph (a)(2) is added requiring
Class 1 materials to be stowed away from the side of a ship's side at a
distance at least equal to one eighth of the beam of the vessel or 2.4
m (8 feet), whichever is less. PHMSA received one comment (IVODGA)
requesting an exception for materials within Class 1 of low or
relatively low hazard within division 1.4 through 1.6 and the allowance
to transport these in all positions available on-deck. In 7.1.4.4.3 of
the IMDG goods of division 1.4 are excepted from the requirement to be
stowed away from the side of a ship. Another comment by Horizon also
noted that 1.4 cargos should be excluded from this requirement. PHMSA
agrees to provide such an exception for goods of division 1.4, but sees
no need to extend the exception beyond what is authorized by the
international standard.
This minimum distance for explosive shipment stowage from the
ship's side is adopted to harmonize with a recent change in the IMDG
Code and provides an increased level of safety by ensuring explosive
shipments are not stowed adjacent to the ships internal structure.
Paragraph (f) previously indicated general stowage provisions for
HMT explosive entries stowed under deck and assigned stowage category
09 or 10. The removal of stowage category 09 and 10 make these
provisions no longer applicable.
Section 176.128
Section 176.128 defines the varying levels of containment for
explosives identified as magazine stowage types ``A'', ``C,'' and
``Special Stowage.'' The IMO has determined that a distinction between
closed cargo transport units and magazines is no longer necessary.
PHMSA concurs with the IMO on this issue and is deleting Sec. 176.128
and reserving it for future use. With the addition of a definition for
``closed cargo transport unit for Class 1,'' and the requirement for
all explosive shipments to be stored at a distance at least equal to
one eighth of the beam of the vessel or 2.4 m (8 feet), whichever is
less, specific requirements for type A, C, and special magazine stowage
are now unnecessary. Note that portable magazines remain authorized by
Sec. 176.137 and the definition of ``closed cargo transport unit for
Class 1.''
Section 176.130
Section 176.130 prescribes requirements for magazine stowage type
A. The IMO determined that a distinction between closed cargo transport
units and magazines is no longer necessary. PHMSA concurs with the IMO
on this issue and is deleting Sec. 176.130 and reserving it for future
use. In general, a magazine is equivalent to a closed cargo transport
unit with a

[[Page 1019]]

wooden floor. Properly packaged and transported packages in a closed
cargo transport unit will adequately address safety concerns presented
by commodities previously required to be transported in magazine
stowage type A.
Section 176.133
Section 176.133 prescribes requirements for magazine stowage type
C. The IMO has determined that all explosive shipments must be stored
at a distance at least equal to one eighth of the beam of the vessel or
2.4 m (8 feet), whichever is less, thus making the provisions for
magazine stowage type C unnecessary. PHMSA concurs with the IMO on this
issue and is deleting Sec. 176.133 and reserving it for future use.
Section 176.134
Section 176.134 prescribes requirements for vehicles carrying Class
1 materials requiring magazine stowage. The removal of magazine stowage
definitions and provisions make this section unnecessary. Therefore,
PHMSA is deleting this section and reserving it for future use.
Section 176.136
Section 176.136 prescribes requirements for special stowage of
Class 1 materials. Changes to vessel stowage location codes in Sec.
172.101(k) and the assignment of vessel stowage codes requiring on deck
stowage for entries previously authorized as special stowage make this
section unnecessary. Therefore, PHMSA is deleting this section and
reserving it for future use.
Section 176.138
Section 176.138 prescribes general requirements for on deck
stowage. Paragraph (b) provides general requirements for on deck
stowage of explosives. In this final rule, PHMSA is revising this
section to require explosives to not be stowed within 6 m (20 feet) of
the newly defined term ``any potential sources of heat or ignition.''
This change is adopted to incorporate a newly defined term in Sec.
176.2. PHMSA received one comment from IVODGA requesting an editorial
clarification to separate the proposed language into ``from any source
of heat and any possible sources of ignition'' and is making the
requested change.
Section 176.144
Section 176.144 prescribes segregation requirements for Class 1
materials transported by vessel. Paragraph (d) allows materials
requiring ordinary stowage (non-magazine stowage) to be stowed in the
same magazine as materials requiring magazine stowage. PHMSA is
revising paragraph (d) to state that if part of a shipment requires
non-metallic lining of closed cargo transport units, Class 1 materials
requiring ordinary stowage (stowage not requiring non-metallic lining
of closed cargo transport units) may be stowed in the same closed cargo
transport unit provided there are no exposed parts of any ferrous metal
or aluminum alloy, unless separated by a partition. The removal of
sections and requirements for magazine stowage necessitates the change
in this section.
During the review of the NPRM PHMSA noted that Table 176.144(a)
includes a reference to explosives requiring special stowage in Note:
1. This final rule removes the special stowage section in the HMR.
Therefore, PHMSA is removing the reference to special stowage in Note 1
of Table 176.144(a).
Section 176.146
Section 176.146 prescribes segregation requirements for Class 1
materials and non-hazardous goods transported by vessel. Paragraph (a)
currently states that Class 1 material need not be segregated from non-
hazardous materials except as provided in paragraphs (b) and (c).
Paragraph (b) then goes on to state that certain cargo (mail, baggage,
and personal effects) may not be stowed in the same compartment as, or
in compartments immediately above or below, Class 1 (explosive)
materials other than those in compatibility group S. Paragraph (c)
states that where Class 1 (explosive) materials are stowed against an
intervening bulkhead, any mail on the other side of the bulkhead must
be stowed away from it.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraphs (a) and (b) and
deleting and reserving paragraph (c). Specifically, we are revising
paragraph (a) to remove a reference to the removed paragraph (c). We
are also revising paragraph (b) to read ``readily combustible materials
may not be stowed in the same compartment or hold as Class 1
(explosive) materials other than those in compatibility group S.'' This
change incorporates the adoption by IMO of the defined term ``readily
combustible material'' in 176.2. In this final rule, PHMSA is removing
and reserving paragraph (c) as the vast majority of mail is now sent by
air and not vessel. A specific requirement for stowage of mail away
from the intervening bulkhead between it and Class 1 materials is
deemed unnecessary.
Section 176.170
Section 176.170 prescribes requirements for shipments of Class 1
materials in freight containers by vessel. Paragraph (a) states that
when Class 1 materials are stowed in a freight container, the freight
container, for the purposes of this subpart, may be regarded as a
magazine but not as a separate compartment. Paragraph (c) states that
freight containers used to transport Class 1 (explosive) materials for
which magazine stowage type A is required must have a floor consisting
of tightly fitted wooden boards, plywood or equivalent non-metallic
material, and a non-metallic lining.
PHMSA is amending paragraph (a) and deleting and reserving
paragraph (c). Paragraph (a) is revised to state that when Class 1
materials are stowed in a freight container, the freight container, for
the purposes of this subpart G of Part 176, may be regarded as a closed
transport unit for Class 1 or a magazine but not a separate
compartment. This change is being made to incorporate the definition of
``closed cargo transport unit for Class 1'' and the removal of magazine
stowage A, C, and Special Stowage. Paragraph (c) references freight
containers used to transport Class 1 (explosive) materials for which
magazine stowage type A is required. The removal of a definition for
and requirements for magazine stowage type A make this paragraph
unnecessary.
Section 176.200
Section 176.200 prescribes general stowage requirements for Class 2
materials transported by vessel. Paragraph (c) of this section
prescribes the orientation and outer packaging requirements for
cylinders transported by vessel.
PHMSA is revising paragraph (c) to clarify that cylinders offered
for transport by vessel in a vertical position must be stowed in either
a block and cribbed or boxed-in with suitable sound lumber. PHMSA is
also replacing the word movement with shifting in the requirement for
the crib or box bracing to prevent any movement. These revisions are to
harmonize with vessel transportation requirements incorporated in the
IMDG Code and clarify that cylinders stored in a vertical position must
be adequately blocked and braced using sound lumber.
Section 176.210
Section 176.210 prescribes on deck stowage requirements for
cylinders transported by vessel. This section currently requires
cylinders of Class 2 materials being transported by vessel to

[[Page 1020]]

be protected from radiant heat, including the direct rays of the sun,
by structural erections or awnings.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising this section by replacing
``protected from radiant heat, including the direct rays of the sun, by
structural erections or awnings'' with the newly defined term
``protected from sources of heat.''
Section 176.230
Section 176.230 prescribes stowage requirements for Division 2.1
materials transported by vessel. Currently the HMR requires Division
2.1 materials transported in Specification 106A or 110A multi-unit car
tanks must be stowed on deck only, and must be shaded from radiant
heat.
In this final rule, PHMSA is replacing the phrase ``shaded from
radiant heat'' with the newly defined ``protected from sources of
heat.''
Section 176.305
Section 176.305 prescribes stowage requirements for Class 3
materials transported by vessel. Paragraph (a) states that Class 3
flammable or combustible liquids must be kept as cool as reasonably
practicable and be stowed away from all sources of heat and ignition.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraph (a) to read ``a
Class 3 (flammable) or combustible liquid must be kept as cool as
reasonably practicable, protected from sources of heat, and away from
potential sources of ignition.'' These changes incorporate the
definitions of ``protected from sources of heat'' and ``potential or
possible sources of ignition.''
Section 176.400
Section 176.400 prescribes stowage requirements for Division 1.5,
Class 4 (flammable solids) and Class 5 materials transported by vessel.
Paragraph (a) requires Class 4 (flammable solid) material and Division
5.2 (organic peroxide) materials to be kept as cool as reasonably
practicable and be stowed away from all sources of heat and ignition.
PHMSA is revising paragraph (a) to read ``Class 4 (flammable solid)
material and Division 5.2 (organic peroxide) material must be kept as
cool as reasonably practicable, protected from sources of heat, and
away from potential sources of ignition.'' These changes incorporate
the definitions of ``protected from sources of heat'' and ``potential
or possible sources of ignition.''
Paragraph (b) of this section requires Division 5.2 (organic
peroxide) material to be stowed away from living quarters or access to
them. Division 5.2 (organic peroxide) substances not requiring
temperature control should be protected from radiant heat, which
includes direct rays of the sun, and stowed in a cool, well-ventilated
area.
PHMSA is amending paragraph (b) to replace ``should be protected
from radiant heat, which includes direct rays of the sun, and stowed in
a cool, well-ventilated area'' with ``must be protected from sources of
heat, including radiant heat and strong sunlight, and must be stowed in
a cool, well-ventilated area.'' These changes are being made to
incorporate the definitions of ``protected from sources of heat''
harmonize with the IMDG Code, and to emphasize that protecting
shipments of organic peroxides not requiring temperature control from
sources of heat is a requirement and not optional.
Section 176.600
Section 176.600 prescribes detailed requirements for Division 2.3
(Poisonous Gas) and Division 6.1 (Poisonous) materials transported by
vessel. Paragraph (d) of this section requires each package of Division
2.3 (poisonous gas) material or Division 6.1 (poison) material that
also bears a FLAMMABLE LIQUID or FLAMMABLE GAS label must be stowed in
a mechanically ventilated space, kept as cool as reasonably
practicable, and be stowed away from all sources of heat and ignition.
PHMSA is revising paragraph (d) to replace ``stowed away from all
sources of heat and ignition'' with ``protected from sources of heat
and stowed away from potential sources of ignition.'' These changes
incorporate the definitions of ``protected from sources of heat'' and
``potential or possible sources of ignition.''
PHMSA received one comment from Horizon requesting that the
mechanically ventilated space and protected from sources of ignition
stowage requirements be applied only to 2.3 materials and 6.1 materials
that are toxic by inhalation. The proposal in the NPRM was done solely
to change the terminology based on the adoption of new international
definitions for ``protected from sources of heat'' and ``potential or
possible sources of ignition.'' No changes to the actual commodities
that require such segregation were proposed or will be implemented in
this rulemaking.
Section 176.907
Section 176.907 is created to incorporate cargo transport
requirements for shipments of UN2211, Polymeric Beads, Expandable
evolving flammable vapor and UN3314, Plastics Molding Compound in
dough, sheet or extruded rope form, evolving flammable vapor. Several
cases of damage to cargo transport units were presented to the IMO with
the root cause being identified as the release of flammable pentane gas
during transportation of shipments UN2211 and UN3314. To address the
concerns presented by off gassing of flammable vapors which lead to a
rise in pressure that may damage cargo transport units, the IMO
instituted measures to ensure an adequate exchange of air within the
cargo transport unit is provided. PHMSA is harmonizing with the recent
changes to the IMDG and addressing safety concerns presented by the off
gassing of flammable vapors from shipments of UN2211 and UN3314 by
requiring that when UN2211 or UN3314 are transported by vessel, the
cargo transport unit must provide an adequate exchange of air. This
adequate exchange of air may be accomplished by using a ventilated
container, an open-top container, or a container in one door off
operation. As an alternative to these methods of air exchange, shippers
may transport these cargos under temperature control in refrigerated
cargo transport units. Exceptions to the cargo transport unit providing
an adequate exchange of air requirement are provided for shipments
packed in hermetically sealed packagings or IBCs which conform to the
packing group II performance level for liquid dangerous goods in which
the total pressure in the package (i.e., the vapor pressure of the
liquid plus the partial pressure of air or other inert gasses less 100
kPa (15 psia)) with a filling temperature of 55[deg] C (131[deg] F)
does not exceed two-thirds of the marked test pressure. Cargo transport
units containing shipments of UN2211 or UN3314 must be marked with a
warning mark including the words ``CAUTION--MAY CONTAIN FLAMMABLE
VAPOR'' or ``CAUTION--MAY CONTAIN FLAMMABLE VAPOUR'' with lettering not
less than 25 mm high. This mark must be affixed at each access point in
a location where it will be easily seen by persons prior to opening or
entering the cargo transport unit and must remain on the cargo
transport unit until the cargo transport unit has been completely
ventilated to remove any hazardous concentration of vapor or gas, the
immediate vicinity of the cargo transport unit is clear of any source
of ignition, and the goods have been unloaded.
PHMSA received one comment from IVODGA requesting a further
exception

[[Page 1021]]

for shipments that do not meet the ventilation requirements or the
packaging requirements of the proposed section. IVODGA asked PHMSA to
allow freight containers or transport vehicles containing these
shipments not meeting the conditions of the proposed 176.907 to be
allowed to be transported on vessel using on-deck stowage and stowed
away from sources of potential ignition. PHMSA does not see a need to
allow for less protective stowage provisions than the IMDG Code
provides for these commodities. While the suggested stowage location
and provisions proposed by IVODGA do represent a certain degree of
caution; the adopted and harmonized requirements provide additional
protection from the potential offgassing of pentane from these
commodities; and thus PHMSA is adopting the changes as proposed in the
NPRM.

Part 178

Section 178.71
Section 178.71 prescribes specifications for UN pressure
receptacles. In this final rule PHMSA is incorporating by reference ISO
13340:2001(E) Transportable gas cylinders--Cylinder valves for non-
refillable cylinders--Specification and prototype testing, First
edition, 2004-04-01. Non-refillable pressure receptacles must comply
with cylinder valve requirements from ISO 13340. ISO 13340 was
incorrectly proposed for addition to Sec. 178.274(i) in the NPRM.
PHMSA is correcting this proposal by incorporating this standard into
the correct sections and requiring non-refillable pressure receptacles
to comply with cylinder valve requirements in ISO 13340.
Section 178.512
Section 178.512 prescribes the standards, packaging identification
codes, and construction requirements for steel and aluminum boxes (4A
and 4B boxes). To incorporate the authorization for use of 4N boxes
(metal other than steel or aluminum), the title of the section is
revised to ``Standards for steel, aluminum or other metal boxes.''
Section 178.512 is also revised to include the authorized packaging
identification code, 4N, for other metal boxes, and expand the
construction requirements of the section to include these packagings.
Subsequent changes are made throughout the section to address the
inclusion of 4N other metal boxes.
Section 178.603
Section 178.603 prescribes the drop test requirements for non-bulk
packagings in the HMR. Section 178.603 provides that a drop test must
be conducted for the qualification of all packaging design types, and
further provides that exceptions for the number of steel and aluminum
packaging samples used for conducting the drop test are subject to the
approval of the Associate Administrator. Currently, paragraph (a) of
this section contains a table that outlines specific types of
packagings and the corresponding number of samples that should be
tested and the drop orientation of those samples. In this final rule,
PHMSA is revising this table by including ``other metal boxes'' to the
listed packagings. To incorporate the authorization for use of 4N boxes
(metal other than steel or aluminum), Sec. 178.603 is revised to
require the drop test for other metal (4N) boxes, and authorize
exceptions, subject to the approval of the Associate Administrator, for
the number of samples used for conducting the drop test of these
packagings.
Section 178.705
Section 178.705 prescribes standards for metal IBCs. Paragraph
(a)(3) indicates that IBC specifications 31A, 31B, and 31N are
authorized for both liquids and solids. PHMSA is revising this sentence
editorially by removing the authorization to package solids in
specification 31 IBCs as the specification is only assigned to liquid
substances. This editorial change is consistent with the Sec. 172.102
IBC Code Table revisions in paragraph (c)(4) and other IBC standards
(e.g., Sec. 178.707(a)(5)) prescribed in subpart N of part 178.
Section 178.910
Section 178.910 prescribes the marking requirements for
specification Large Packaging design types. Paragraph (a)(1) of this
describes the size specifications and format of the marking
requirements. In this final rule, PHMSA is clarifying these
requirements by indicating that for large packages manufactured after
January 1, 2014 the minimum marking size must be 12 mm in height.
Furthermore, paragraph (b) of this section is now reserved.
However, we are adding a paragraph (b) indicating that for all Large
Packages manufactured, repaired or remanufactured after January 1, 2015
the large package must be marked with the symbol applicable to a Large
Package designed for stacking or not designed for stacking, as
appropriate. This language will be accompanied by an example of such a
mark.
Section 178.980
Section 178.980 prescribes the procedures for conducting the
stacking test for qualification of all Large Packaging design types.
Paragraph (e)(1) describes the criterion a metal or rigid plastic Large
Packaging must meet to be considered as successfully passing the
stacking test. While paragraph (e) addresses metal or rigid plastic
Large Packagings, the criterion that a fiberboard or wooden Large
Packaging must meet to be considered as successfully passing the
stacking test is omitted.
Therefore, in this final rule, we are correcting this omission, by
adding a new paragraph (e)(2) that addresses the criterion for
fiberboard or wooden Large Packagings to pass the test and
redesignating the following paragraphs accordingly.
Subpart R
Currently, the HMR do not contain specifications for FBCs. In this
final rule, PHMSA is adopting the specification, construction, and
testing requirements for FBCs. On February 2, 2010, PHMSA published a
final rule in the Federal Register under Docket Number PHMSA-2006-
25736 (HM-231) [75 FR 4699] entitled ``Hazardous Materials;
Miscellaneous Packaging Amendments.'' In HM-231, specification and
testing requirements were adopted for Large Packagings. The
specification and testing requirements for FBCs are modeled on the
regulatory structure adopted for Large Packagings in HM-231. Thus, new
subpart R of part 178 entitled ``Subpart R--Flexible Bulk Container
Standards'' is added.
Section 178.1000
PHMSA is adopting new Sec. 178.1000 entitled ``Purpose and
scope.'' This section prescribes the packaging designs to which Subpart
R applies and the location in the HMR where terms used in the subpart
are defined.
Section 178.1005
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1005 entitled
``Flexible Bulk Container Identification Code.'' This section provides
the identification code (i.e. BK3) assigned to FBCs.
Section 178.1010
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1010 entitled
``Marking of Flexible Bulk Containers.'' This section prescribes the
markings the manufacturer of an FBC must mark on

[[Page 1022]]

a package to indicate the FBC meets the specification. The marking
requirements for FBCs are based on the current marking requirements for
IBCs prescribed in Sec. 178.703.
Section 178.1015
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1015 entitled
``General Flexible Bulk Container Standards.'' This section prescribes
the general packaging integrity requirements an FBC design must meet.
Section 178.1020
In this final rule, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1020 entitled
``Period of use for transportation of hazardous materials in Flexible
Bulk Containers.'' This section prescribes the length of time an FBC
may be used to package hazardous materials. Specifically, this section
states that an FBC used to package hazardous materials may remain in
service not to exceed two years from the date of manufacture.
Subpart S
Currently, the HMR do not prescribe testing criteria for FBCs.
PHMSA is adopting testing protocol for FBCs. On February 2, 2010, PHMSA
published a final rule in the Federal Register under Docket Number
PHMSA-2006- 25736 (HM-231) [75 FR 4699] entitled ``Hazardous Materials;
Miscellaneous Packaging Amendments.'' In HM-231, specification and
testing requirements were adopted for Large Packagings. The test
protocol proposed in this final rule for FBCs are modeled on the
regulatory structure adopted for Large Packagings in HM-231. Thus, new
subpart S of part 178 entitled ``Subpart S--Testing of Flexible Bulk
Container Standards'' is added.
Section 178.1030
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting Sec. 178.1030 entitled
``Purpose and scope.'' This section prescribes the applicability to
which the Subpart S tests apply.
Section 178.1035
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting Sec. 178.1035 entitled
``General requirements.'' This section prescribes the general packaging
requirements for FBCs and addresses the following topics: FBC-related
definitions; defining responsibility for compliance with specification
requirements; design qualification testing; periodic design testing;
proof of compliance; and record retention.
Section 178.1040
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting test preparation requirements
for FBCs in new Sec. 178.1040 entitled ``Preparation of Flexible Bulk
Containers for Testing.'' This section specifies the general test
preparation requirements applicable to all tests an FBC is required to
successfully pass.
Section 178.1045
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting requirements for drop tests
conducted on FBCs. A drop test is used to measure a packaging's ability
to withstand falls from specific heights and is used to determine if a
package is suitable to transport hazardous materials. Thus, PHMSA is
adding a new Sec. 178.1045 entitled ``Drop test.'' This section
prescribes the preparation of test samples, test methods authorized,
drop heights, and criteria for passing the drop test.
Section 178.1050
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting requirements for top lift
tests conducted on FBCs. A top lift test measures a package's ability
to be moved mechanically by lifting the package by its top end and is
used to determine if a package is suitable to transport hazardous
materials. Thus, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1050 entitled ``Top lift
test.'' This section prescribes requirements for the preparation of
test samples, test methods authorized, and criteria for passing the top
lift test.
Section 178.1055
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting requirements for stacking
tests conducted on FBCs. A stacking test is used to measure a
packaging's ability to withstand other packages placed on top of it and
is used to determine if a package is suitable to transport hazardous
materials. Thus, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1055 entitled ``Stacking
test.'' This section prescribes requirements for the preparation of
test samples, test methods authorized, and criteria for passing the
stacking test.
Section 178.1060
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting requirements for topple tests
conducted on FBCs. A topple test is used to measure a packaging's
ability to withstand tipping of the package and is used to determine if
a package is suitable to transport hazardous materials. Thus, PHMSA is
adding new Sec. 178.1060 entitled ``Topple test.'' This section
prescribes the preparation of test samples, test methods authorized,
topple height, and criteria for passing the topple test.
Section 178.1065
In this final rule, PHMSA adopting requirements for righting tests
conducted on FBCs. A righting test is used to measure a packaging's
ability to withstand lifting from a lying position at a given rate of
speed and is used to determine if a package is suitable to transport
hazardous materials. Thus, PHMSA is adding new Sec. 178.1065 entitled
``Righting test.'' This section prescribes the preparation of test
samples, test methods authorized, and criteria for passing the righting
test.
Section 178.1070
In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting requirements for tear tests
conducted on FBCs. A tear test is used to measure a packaging's ability
to withstand shearing and tearing that may be encountered during
transportation, such as loading and unloading, and is used to determine
if a package is suitable to transport hazardous materials. Thus, PHMSA
is adding new Sec. 178.1070 entitled ``Tear test.'' This section
prescribes the preparation of test samples, test methods authorized,
and criteria for passing the tear test.

V. Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking

This final rule is published under the following statutory
authorities:
1. 49 U.S.C. 5103(b) authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to
prescribe regulations for the safe transportation, including security,
of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.
This final rule amends regulations to maintain alignment with
international standards by incorporating various amendments, including
changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups,
special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport quantity
limitations and vessel stowage requirements. To this end, this final
rule amends the HMR to more fully align with the biennial updates of
the UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical
Instructions.
Harmonization serves to facilitate international commerce; at the
same time, harmonization promotes the safety of people, property, and
the environment by reducing the potential for confusion and
misunderstanding that could result if shippers and transporters were
required to comply with two or more conflicting sets of regulatory
requirements. While the intent of this rulemaking is to align the HMR
with international standards, we review and consider each amendment

[[Page 1023]]

on its own merit based on its overall impact on transportation safety
and the economic implications associated with its adoption into the
HMR. Our goal is to harmonize without sacrificing the current HMR level
of safety and without imposing undue burdens on the regulated
community. Thus, as explained in the corresponding sections above, we
are not harmonizing with certain specific provisions of the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Moreover, we are maintaining a number of current exceptions for
domestic transportation that should minimize the compliance burden on
the regulated community. Additionally, the following external agencies
were consulted in the development of this rule:

U.S. Coast Guard
U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)
U.S. Department of Energy
U.S. Department of Interior
U.S. Department of Justice

2. 49 U.S.C. 5120(b) authorizes the Secretary of Transportation to
ensure that, to the extent practicable, regulations governing the
transportation of hazardous materials in commerce are consistent with
standards adopted by international authorities. This final rule is
amending the HMR to maintain alignment with international standards by
incorporating various amendments to facilitate the transport of
hazardous material in international commerce. To this end, as discussed
in detail above, PHMSA is incorporating changes into the HMR based on
the 17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, Amendment 36-12
to the IMDG Code, and the 2013-2014 ICAO Technical Instructions, which
become effective January 1, 2013. The large volume of hazardous
materials transported in international commerce warrants the
harmonization of domestic and international requirements to the
greatest extent possible.

B. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 and DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures

This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and
Review'') and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget. This final rule is not considered a significant rule under
the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of
Transportation (44 FR 11034). Additionally, E.O. 13563 (``Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review'') supplements and reaffirms E.O.
12866, stressing that, to the extent permitted by law, an agency
rulemaking action must be based on benefits that justify its costs,
impose the least burden, consider cumulative burdens, maximize
benefits, use performance objectives, and assess available
alternatives.
Economic Benefits to Harmonization. In this final rule, PHMSA is
incorporating by reference the most recent versions of various
international hazardous materials standards, including the 2013-2014
ICAO Technical Instructions, Amendment 36-12 to the IMDG Code, and the
17th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations. Additionally, PHMSA
is updating its incorporation by reference of the Canadian
Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations to include Amendment 8
(SOR/2011-239) October 27, 2011; Amendment 9 (SOR/2011-60) March 3,
2011; and Amendment 10 (SOR/2011-210) September 30, 2011. Lastly, PHMSA
is adopting updated International Standards Organization (ISO)
standards.
The primary benefit of harmonizing the U.S. Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR) with the international hazardous materials standards
noted previously is that it will reduce the regulatory compliance costs
faced by U.S. companies. Without harmonization, these companies will be
forced to comply with dual systems of regulations, and as a result will
incur higher compliance costs than would be encountered under a single
regulatory scheme. The benefit of harmonization attributable to this
rulemaking is the difference in regulatory compliance costs faced by
companies operating under a single regulatory framework instead of
multiple regulatory frameworks.
If the U.S. regulations were not harmonized with the international
standards mentioned above, we estimate that it would cost U.S.
companies an additional $62 million per year to comply with both the
HMR and the international standards. Harmonizing the HMR with the
international standards, however, will avert these $62 million in
additional costs, and these averted costs are therefore considered the
primary benefit attributable to this rulemaking.
The $62 million estimate is based on the assumption that in the
absence of harmonization both exporters and importers would have to
adhere to two separate hazard communication systems, one used for the
transportation of materials within the United States and one used for
the transportation of materials outside the United States. Exporters
would directly incur four different cost elements and would have to pay
for (1) dual labels and safety data sheets, (2) additional training,
(3) additional management activities, and (4) additional packaging
costs. Foreign producers who ship products to the United States would
also incur these four cost elements, and we assume that the foreign
producers would pass half of those incurred costs on to U.S. consumers
in the form of higher prices.
To develop the $62 million estimate, we estimated the average
hazard communication cost per dollar of hazardous materials produced in
the United States and then multiplied that cost figure by an estimate
of the value of U.S. imports and exports of hazardous materials. In
other words, in the absence of harmonization, we assume that companies
involved with U.S. foreign trade would have to pay for additional
hazard communication requirements for international movements; these
companies would have to comply with the HMR communication requirements
during domestic legs of the movement and with international standards
during legs of the movement outside of the United States.
A proxy for hazard communication costs was obtained from a recent
Occupational Safety and Health Administration study looking at the
costs for industry to comply with the revised Hazard Communication
Standard.\2\ The study estimated the total compliance cost to be $201
million per year based on four cost elements: revisions to labels and
safety data sheets, additional training, additional management
activities, and printing of color packaging. The first three cost
elements are relevant for our purposes and totaled $177 million.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\2\ http://www.osha.gov/dsg/hazcom/hazcom-faq.html.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

To put the $177 million hazard communication cost estimate on a per
unit basis, we divided the $177 million by an estimate of the total
value of hazardous materials produced in the United States in 2010. The
total value of hazardous materials produced in the United States was
estimated to be $151 billion. To derive this $151 billion estimate, we
summed relevant product values reported in the Census Bureau's Annual
Survey of Manufactures: Value of Product Shipments, and then multiplied
the result by 12.4 percent--the percentage of shipment values reported
to be hazardous products (this parameter was obtained from Table 10 in
the Census Bureau's 2007 Commodity Flow Survey for Hazardous
Materials). The resulting hazard communication cost per dollar of
hazardous materials

[[Page 1024]]

output was estimated to be $0.001 (or $177 million / $151 billion).
We were not able to identify any comprehensive source on hazardous
materials imports and exports and therefore developed estimates for
these figures using quarterly trade data from the Bureau of Economic
Analysis \3\ and data on the transportation of hazardous materials from
the Census Bureau's 2007 Commodity Flow Survey. The quarterly trade
data on the value of imports and exports--for fuels and lubricants,
chemicals, and medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical products--were summed to
produce a single annual trade value for 2010 for industries that
produce hazardous materials. Before aggregating the import and export
values, we reduced the import values by half to take into account the
assumption mentioned previously that foreign producers would be able to
pass on only half of the additional hazard communication costs to U.S.
consumers. Total annual trade for industries that produce hazardous
materials was computed to be just over $498 billion in 2010.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\3\ http://www.bea.gov/international/detailed_trade_data.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

We then multiplied this $498 billion trade figure by 12.4 percent,
the percentage of output in these industries reported to be hazardous
products; this parameter was obtained from Table 10 in the 2007
Commodity Flow Survey for Hazardous Materials. The resulting estimate
indicates that approximately $62 billion worth of hazardous materials
were involved in international trade with the United States in 2010.
Multiplying the hazard communication cost per dollar of hazardous
material output ($0.001) by the value of hazardous materials involved
in international trade ($62 billion) results in a hazard communication
cost estimate of approximately $62 million per year that companies
would have to pay to comply with different regulatory requirements
applicable to international movements. Harmonizing the HMR with
international standards will make these $62 million in hazard
communications costs unnecessary, and therefore is the main benefit
attributable to this rulemaking.
Cost of Harmonization. The potential costs of this rulemaking
include private sector compliance costs and any costs that can be
attributed to a possible reduction in public safety as a result of
harmonizing the HMR with international standards. We expect that both
of these costs will be negligible. Estimates suggest that private
sector compliance costs associated with complying with the different
amendments in the final rule will be minimal. In terms of costs due to
any reduction in public safety as a result of harmonizing the HMR with
international standards, PHMSA believes that none of the proposed
revisions to the HMR have material safety impacts. We therefore assume
that the gross social costs of this NPRM are effectively zero.
Net Benefit. Based on the discussions of benefits and costs
provided above the estimated net benefit associated with the
international harmonization final rule (2137-AE87) is nearly $62
million.

C. Executive Order 13132

This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This
final rule preempts State, local, and Indian tribe requirements but
does not impose any regulation that 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. Therefore, the consultation and funding
requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
The Federal hazardous material transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101-
5128, contains an express preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) that
preempts State, local, and Indian tribe requirements on certain covered
subjects, as follows:
(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; and
(5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, inspection, marking,
maintenance, recondition, repair, or testing of a packaging or
container represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use
in transporting hazardous material in commerce.
This final rule addresses covered subject items (1), (2), (3), (4)
and (5) above and preempts State, local, and Indian tribe requirements
not meeting the ``substantively the same'' standard. This final rule is
necessary to incorporate changes adopted in international standards,
effective January 1, 2013. If this final rule was not adopted, U.S.
companies, including numerous small entities competing in foreign
markets, will be at an economic disadvantage. These companies will be
forced to comply with a dual system of regulations. The changes in this
final rule are intended to avoid this result. Federal hazardous
materials transportation law provides at 49 U.S.C. 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. The effective date of
Federal preemption is 90 days from publication of this final rule.

D. Executive Order 13175

This final rule was 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 and, does not impose substantial
direct compliance costs the funding and consultation requirements of
Executive Order 13175 do not apply.

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

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an
agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities,
unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. This
final rule facilitates the transportation of hazardous materials in
international commerce by providing consistency with international
standards. This final rule applies to offerors and carriers of
hazardous materials, some of whom are small entities, such as chemical
manufacturers, users and suppliers, packaging manufacturers,
distributors, and training companies. As discussed above, under
Executive Order 12866, the majority of amendments in this final rule
should result in cost savings and ease the regulatory compliance burden
for shippers engaged in domestic and international commerce, including
trans-border shipments within North America.
Many companies will realize economic benefits as a result of these
amendments. Additionally, the changes effected by this final rule will
relieve U.S. companies, including small entities

[[Page 1025]]

competing in foreign markets, from the burden of complying with a dual
system of regulations. Therefore, we certify that these amendments will
not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.
This final rule has been developed in accordance with Executive
Order 13272 (``Proper Consideration of Small Entities in Agency
Rulemaking'') and DOT's procedures and policies to promote compliance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure that potential impacts of
draft rules on small entities are properly considered.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act

PHMSA currently has approved information collections under Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 2137-0018, ``Inspection
and Testing of Portable Tanks and Intermediate Bulk Containers,'' and
OMB Control Number 2137-0572, ``Testing Requirements for Non-Bulk
Packages.'' This final rule may result in an increase in the annual
burden and costs of both OMB Control Numbers due to the proposed
amendments to allow the use of metals other than steel or aluminum for
drums and boxes as well as the proposed new Flexible Bulk Container
package authorization, which will require package manufacturers to
document and maintain package test results, should they elect to
manufacture Flexible Bulk Containers or of metals other than steel or
aluminum for drums and boxes.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no person is required to
respond to an information collection unless it has been approved by OMB
and displays a valid OMB control number. Section 1320.8(d), title 5,
Code of Federal Regulations requires that PHMSA provide interested
members of the public and affected agencies an opportunity to comment
on information and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies revised information collection requests that
PHMSA will submit to OMB for approval based on the requirements in this
final rule. PHMSA has developed burden estimates to reflect changes in
this final rule, and estimates the information collection and
recordkeeping burden in this rule to be as follows:
OMB Control No.: 2137-0018.
Annual Increase in Number of Respondents: 25.
Annual Increase in Annual Number of Responses: 50.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Hours: 200.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Costs: $5,000.
50 estimated responses at $25 per hour and four hours per response.
OMB Control No.: 2137-0572.
Annual Increase in Number of Respondents: 100.
Annual Increase in Annual Number of Responses: 300.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Hours: 600.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Costs: $15,000.
300 Annual responses at $25 per hour and 2 hours per response.
PHMSA will submit the revised information collection and
recordkeeping requirements to OMB for approval.

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 generally 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.

H. 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
$141.3 million or more, adjusted for inflation, to either State, local,
or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in
any one year, and is the least burdensome alternative that achieves the
objective of the rule.

I. Environmental Assessment

The National Environmental Policy Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321-4375,
requires that federal agencies consider the consequences of major
Federal actions and prepare a detailed statement on actions
significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. The
Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations require federal
agencies to conduct an environmental review considering: (1) The need
for the action; (2) alternatives to the action; (3) probable
environmental impacts of the action and alternatives; and (4) the
agencies and persons consulted during the consideration process (40 CFR
1508.9(b)).
Description of Action
Docket No. PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), Final Rule. The
transportation of hazardous materials in commerce is subject to the
HMR, issued under authority of Federal hazardous materials
transportation law, codified at 49 U.S.C. 5001 et seq. To facilitate
the safe and efficient transportation of hazardous materials in
international commerce, the HMR provides that both domestic and
international shipments of hazardous materials may be offered for
transportation and transported under provisions of the international
regulations.
Purpose and Need
In this final rule, PHMSA is amending the HMR to maintain alignment
with international standards by incorporating various amendments,
including changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing
groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport
quantity limitations, and vessel stowage requirements. These revisions
are necessary to harmonize and align the HMR with recent amendments
adopted in the UN Model Regulations, IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical
Instructions. The amendments in this final rule are intended to
facilitate the safe and efficient transportation of hazardous materials
in international commerce, provide clarity designed to encourage and
increase regulatory compliance, and improve the efficacy of emergency
response in the event a hazardous materials incident occurs.
Alternatives
In developing this rule, we considered three alternatives:
(1) Do nothing.
(2) Adopt the international standards in their entirety.
(3) Adopt most of the international standards, with certain
modifications based on safety or economic considerations.
Alternative 1
Because our goal is to facilitate uniformity, compliance, commerce
and safety in the transportation of hazardous materials, we rejected
this alternative.
Alternative 2
By adopting the international standards in their entirety, PHMSA
could potentially adopt provisions that, in our view, do not provide an
adequate level of transportation safety and environmental safety and
protection. Further, because we provide for domestic exceptions and
extended compliance periods to minimize the potential economic impact
of any revisions on the regulated community, this alternative was also
rejected.
Alternative 3
Consistency between U.S. and international regulations helps to
assure the safety of international hazardous

[[Page 1026]]

materials transportation and the environment through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of compliance, the
smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of origin to their
points of destination, and effective emergency response in the event of
a hazardous materials incident. Under Alternative 3, we would harmonize
the HMR with international standards to the extent consistent with U.S.
safety, economic, and environmental protection goals.
Alternative 3 is the only alternative that addresses, in all
respects, the purpose of this regulatory action, which is to facilitate
the safe and efficient transportation of hazardous materials in
international commerce and the protection of the environment. These
actions will provide the greatest possible harmonization with
international requirements without posing an undue increased cost
burden on the regulated community. For these reasons, alternative 3 is
our selected alternative.
Analysis of Environmental Impacts
Hazardous materials are transported by aircraft, vessel, rail, and
highway. The potential for environmental damage or contamination exists
when packages of hazardous materials are involved in accidents or en
route incidents resulting from cargo shifts, valve failures, package
failures, or loading, unloading, or handling problems. The ecosystems
that could be affected by a release include air, water, soil, and
ecological resources (for example, wildlife habitats). The adverse
environmental impacts associated with releases of most hazardous
materials are short-term impacts that can be greatly reduced or
eliminated through prompt clean-up of the accident scene. Most
hazardous materials are not transported in quantities sufficient to
cause significant, long-term environmental damage if they are released.
The hazardous material regulatory system is a risk-management
system that is prevention-oriented and focused on identifying hazards
and reducing the probability and quantity of a hazardous material
release. Amending the HMR to maintain alignment with international
standards enhances the safe transportation of hazardous materials in
domestic and international commerce. When considering the adoption of
international standards under the HMR, we review and consider each
amendment on its own merit and assess the likely impact on
transportation safety and the environment. It is our conclusion that
the provisions in this final rule will not have either a substantial
positive or adverse effect on the environment. In this final rule PHMSA
is adopting the following noteworthy amendments to the HMR:
Chemicals under pressure. Manufacturers in the United Kingdom, the
United States, Australia, Canada, and other countries are supplying
pressurized products contained and transported in gas cylinders. The
products are liquids or solids such as adhesives, coatings and cleaners
combined with a gas or gas mixtures in pressure receptacles under
sufficient pressure to expel the contents. These mixtures are typically
expelled from the pressurized cylinders as foams, streams or thick
sprays. Currently the HMR does not comprehensively address chemicals
under pressure. Because of the substantial packaging integrity inherent
in pressure vessel designs, PHMSA believes the chemical under pressure
amendments in this rule will result in a positive environmental impact.
Flexible Bulk Containers (FBCs). Incorporate a new packaging
definition, operational controls, performance-oriented standards, and
testing requirements for Flexible Bulk Containers (FBCs). FBCs are
flexible bulk packages with a capacity over the currently authorized
maximum volumetric capacity for flexible IBCs, but not exceeding 15
cubic meters. FBCs provide shippers the opportunity to utilize a
reusable flexible packaging for bulk shipments of certain authorized
low-hazard commodities, all of which are currently authorized in non-
specification bulk bins. Because of the inherent integrity of a
specification packaging design when compared to a non-specification
packaging design, PHMSA believes the amendments in this final rule
authorizing the construction and use of FBCs will result in a net
positive environmental impact due to a possible decrease in the
unintentional release of hazardous material.
Packaging Authorizations. Part 173 of the HMR prescribes the
general requirements for shipment preparation and packaging selection
for hazardous materials. Consistent with amendments adopted in the
various international standards, we are amending multiple Part 173
packaging sections by authorizing additional packaging specifications
used to package hazardous materials. These amendments include, but are
not limited to, the authorization to use wood as a material of package
construction for certain explosives, the authorization to use metals
other than steel or aluminum for boxes and drums for certain hazardous
materials, and the incorporation of authorizations and specifications
of FBCs. Because of the substantial integrity in the newly authorized
packaging specifications, PHMSA believes the amendments in this final
rule will result in a positive environmental impact. Higher integrity
packaging designs prevent the unintentional release of hazardous
materials when transported in commerce.
Vessel Stowage Requirements. The requirements for vessel stowage
are described and specified in Sec. 172.101(k) and HMT entries are
assigned appropriate vessel stowage codes and stowage special
provisions in column 10 of the HMT. We are clarifying these
instructions by revising the vessel stowage location requirements for
explosives and reducing the number of explosive stowage categories from
15 to 5 in column 10A of the HMT. Specifically, explosive stowage
categories 6 through 15 are eliminated, and stowage categories 1
through 5 are retained and modified. We are also adopting modifications
to the vessel stowage provisions indicated in column 10B of the HMT. In
order to harmonize with the IMDG Code, PHMSA is incorporating the
addition of a new definition for protected from sources of heat and
potential or possible sources of ignition (see Section 176.2 of this
final rule for definitions), and subsequently revise and delete various
vessel stowage provisions.
The amendments adopted in this final rule consolidate the number of
vessel stowage codes for explosives, resulting in greater clarity in
the HMR and reducing the potential for unintentional release of
hazardous materials. PHMSA believes these changes will have a positive
impact on the environment.
Conclusion
In the NPRM PHMSA sought public comments on our environmental
assessment. No comments were received. In this final rule, PHMSA is
amending the HMR in response to revisions adopted in the various
international standards. Through this integrated and cooperative
approach, we believe we can be most successful in reducing incidents,
enhancing public safety, and protecting the environment. The amendments
are intended to update, clarify, or provide relief from certain
existing regulatory requirements and to provide greater flexibility in
packaging selection suitable for the transportation of hazardous
materials. PHMSA believes the net environmental impact of this rule
will be somewhat positive. Additionally, we believe there

[[Page 1027]]

will be little or no adverse environmental impact associated with the
amendments adopted in this rule. We conclude that there are no
significant environmental impacts associated with this rule.

K. Executive Order 13609 and International Trade Analysis

Under E.O. 13609, agencies must consider whether the impacts
associated with significant variations between domestic and
international regulatory approaches are unnecessary or may impair the
ability of American business to export and compete internationally. In
meeting shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues, international regulatory cooperation
can identify approaches that are at least as protective as those that
are or would be adopted in the absence of such cooperation.
International regulatory cooperation can also reduce, eliminate, or
prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements.
Similarly, the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Public Law 96-39), as
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Public Law 103-465),
prohibits Federal agencies from establishing any standards or engaging
in related activities that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign
commerce of the United States. For purposes of these requirements,
Federal agencies may participate in the establishment of international
standards, so long as the standards have a legitimate domestic
objective, such as providing for safety, and do not operate to exclude
imports that meet this objective. The statute also requires
consideration of international standards and, where appropriate, that
they be the basis for U.S. standards.
PHMSA participates in the establishment of international standards
to protect the safety of the American public, and we have assessed the
effects of this final rule to ensure that it does not cause unnecessary
obstacles to foreign trade. In fact, the rule is designed to facilitate
international trade. Accordingly, this rulemaking is consistent with
E.O. 13609 and PHMSA's obligations under the Trade Agreement Act, as
amended.

stowage] specifies the authorized stowage locations on board cargo and
passenger vessels. Column 10B [Other provisions] specifies codes for
stowage requirements for specific hazardous materials. Hazardous
materials offered for transportation as limited quantities are
allocated stowage category A and are not subject to the stowage codes
assigned by column 10B. The meaning of each code in Column 10B is set
forth in Sec. 176.84 of this subchapter. Section 176.63 of this
subchapter sets forth the physical requirements for each of the
authorized locations listed in Column 10A. (For bulk transportation by
vessel, see 46 CFR parts 30 to 40, 70, 98, 148, 151, 153 and 154.) The
authorized stowage locations specified in Column 10A are defined as
follows:
(1) Stowage category ``A'' means the material may be stowed ``on
deck'' or ``under deck'' on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel.
(2) Stowage category ``B'' means--
(i) The material may be stowed ``on deck'' or ``under deck'' on a
cargo vessel and on a passenger vessel carrying a number of passengers
limited to not more than the larger of 25 passengers, or one passenger
per each 3 m of overall vessel length; and
(ii) ``On deck only'' on passenger vessels in which the number of
passengers specified in paragraph (k)(2)(i) of this section is
exceeded.
(3) Stowage category ``C'' means the material must be stowed ``on
deck only'' on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel.
(4) Stowage category ``D'' means the material must be stowed ``on
deck only'' on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel carrying a
number of passengers limited to not more than the larger of 25
passengers or one passenger per each 3 m of overall vessel length, but
the material is prohibited on a passenger vessel in which the limiting
number of passengers is exceeded.
(5) Stowage category ``E'' means the material may be stowed ``on
deck'' or ``under deck'' on a cargo vessel or on a passenger vessel
carrying a number of passengers limited to not more than the larger of
25 passengers, or one passenger per each 3 m of overall vessel length,
but is prohibited from carriage on a passenger vessel in which the
limiting number of passengers is exceeded.
(6) Stowage category ``01'' means the material may be stowed ``on
deck'' in closed cargo transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo
vessel (up to 12 passengers) or on a passenger vessel.
(7) Stowage category ``02'' means the material may be stowed ``on
deck'' in closed cargo transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo
vessel (up to 12 passengers) or ``on deck'' in closed cargo transport
units or ``under deck'' in closed cargo transport units on a passenger
vessel.
(8) Stowage category ``03'' means the material may be stowed ``on
deck'' in closed cargo transport units or ``under deck'' on a cargo
vessel (up to 12 passengers) but the material is prohibited on a
passenger vessel.
(9) Stowage category ``04'' means the material may be stowed ``on

The UN Portable Tank Table for Liquefied Compressed Gases and
chemical under pressure is referenced in Sec. 172.102(c)(7)(iii) of
this subchapter for portable tanks that are used to transport liquefied
compressed gases and chemicals under pressure. The table applies to
each liquefied compressed gas and chemical under pressure that are
identified with Special Provision T50 in Column (7) of the Sec.
172.101 Hazardous Materials Table. In addition to providing the UN
identification number and proper shipping name, the table provides
maximum allowable working pressures, bottom opening requirements,
pressure relief device requirements, and degree of filling requirements
for liquefied compressed gas and chemical under pressure permitted for
transportation in a T50 portable tank. In the minimum test pressure
column, ``small'' means a portable tank with a diameter of 1.5 meters
or less when measured at the widest part of the shell, ``sunshield''
means a portable tank with a shield covering at least the upper third
of the shell, ``bare'' means no sunshield or insulation is provided,
and ``insulated'' means a complete cladding of sufficient thickness of
insulating material necessary to provide a minimum conductance of not
more than 0.67 w/m\2\/k. In the pressure relief requirements column,
the word ``Normal'' denotes that a frangible disc as specified in Sec.
178.276(e)(3) of this subchapter is not required.

Class 1 (explosive) materials, Potential or possible sources of
ignition, and Protected from sources of heat are added in alphabetical
order to read as follows:

[[Page 1094]]

Sec. 176.2 Definitions.

* * * * *
Closed cargo transport unit for Class 1 (explosive) materials means
a freight container or transport vehicle that fully encloses the
contents by permanent structures and can be secured to the ship's
structure and are, except for the carriage of division 1.4 explosives,
structurally serviceable (see Sec. 176.172). Portable magazines
conforming to Sec. 176.137 are also considered closed cargo transport
units for Class 1. Small compartments such as deck houses and mast
lockers are included. Cargo transport units with fabric sides or tops
are not closed cargo transport units. The floor of any closed cargo
transport unit must either be constructed of wood, close-boarded or so
arranged that goods are stowed on sparred gratings, wooden pallets or
dunnage.
* * * * *
Potential or possible sources of ignition means, but is not limited
to, open fires, machinery exhausts, galley uptakes, electrical outlets
and electrical equipment including those on refrigerated or heated
cargo transport units unless they are of a type designed to operate in
a hazardous environment.
* * * * *
Protected from sources of heat means that packages and cargo
transport units must be stowed at least 2.4 m from heated ship
structures, where the surface temperature is liable to exceed 131[deg]F
(55[deg]C). Examples of heated structures are steam pipes, heating
coils, top or side walls of heated fuel and cargo tanks, and bulkheads
of machinery spaces. In addition, packages not loaded inside a cargo
transport unit and stowed on deck must be shaded from direct sunlight.
The surface of a cargo transport unit can heat rapidly when in direct
sunlight in nearly windless conditions and the cargo may also become
heated. Depending on the nature of the goods in the cargo transport
unit, and the planned voyage, precautions must be taken to ensure that
exposure to direct sunlight is reduced.

72. In Sec. 176.63, paragraphs (a), (b), and (e) are revised to read
as follows:

Sec. 176.63 Stowage locations.

(a) The table in Sec. 172.101 of this subchapter specifies
generally the locations authorized for stowage of the various hazardous
materials on board vessels. This part prescribes additional
requirements with respect to the stowage of specific hazardous
materials in addition to those authorized in Sec. 172.101 of this
subchapter. This section sets forth the basic physical requirements for
the authorized locations. Hazardous materials offered for transport as
limited quantities are allocated stowage category A and are not subject
to any of the specific stowage requirements indicated in column 10B in
Sec. 172.101 of this subchapter for the material being transported.
(b) To qualify as ``on deck'' stowage, the location must be on the
weather deck. If the location is in a house on the weather deck, the
location must have a permanent structural opening to the atmosphere,
such as a door, hatch, companionway or manhole, and must be vented to
the atmosphere. The location may not have any structural opening to any
living quarters, cargo, or other compartment unless the opening has
means for being closed off and secured. Any deck house containing
living quarters, a steering engine, a refrigerating unit, a
refrigerated stowage box, or a heating unit may not be used unless that
area is isolated from the cargo stowage area by a permanent, and tight,
metallic bulkhead. Stowage in a shelter or 'tween deck is not
considered to be ``on deck''. A barge that is vented to the atmosphere
and is stowed on deck on a barge-carrying ship is considered to be ``on
deck''. When an entry in Sec. 172.101 of this subchapter requires
``on-deck'' stowage and is qualified by the requirement ``protected
from sources of heat'', the stowage must be protected from the direct
rays of the sun by means of structural erections or awnings except that
such protection is not required for shipment in portable tanks.
* * * * *
(e) Notwithstanding the stowage provisions given in the table in
Sec. 172.101 of this subchapter, empty packages containing residue,
including IBCs and large packages, may be stowed ``on deck'' or ``under
deck'' in a mechanically ventilated cargo space. However, empty
pressure receptacles containing residue that carry a label of class 2.3
must be stowed ``on deck'' and waste aerosols must be stowed in
accordance with the table in Sec. 172.101 of this subchapter.
* * * * *

73. In Sec. 176.76, paragraph (a)(11) is added to read as follows:

Sec. 176.76 Transport vehicles, freight containers, and portable
tanks containing hazardous materials.

(a) * * *
(11) When packages are secured with banding or straps, these
restraints must not be over-tightened to cause damage or deformation of
the packages or the securing points (such as D-rings) within the
freight container or transport vehicle.
* * * * *

0
74. In Sec. 176.83 paragraphs (m)(1) through (3) are revised to read
as follows:

Sec. 176.83 Segregation.

* * * * *
(m) * * *
(1) For the purpose of segregation, materials having certain
similar chemical properties have been grouped together in segregation
groups. The segregation groups (such as ``acids'', ``chlorates'',
``permanganates'') and the entries allocated to each of these groups
include the substances identified in section 3.1.4 of the IMDG Code
(IBR, see Sec. 171.7 of this subchapter). When column (10B) of the
Sec. 172.101 Table refers to a numbered stowage provision set forth in
Sec. 176.84(b) such as ``Stow `away from' acids'', that particular
stowage/segregation requirement applies to all the materials allocated
to the respective segregation group.
(2) Not all hazardous materials falling within a segregation group
are listed by name in the regulations. These materials are shipped
under ``n.o.s.'' entries. Although these ``n.o.s.'' entries are not
listed themselves in the above groups, the person who offers a
hazardous material for transportation must decide whether allocation
under a segregation group is appropriate.
(3) The segregation groups described above do not address materials
that fall outside the classification criteria of the hazardous
materials regulations, although it is recognized that some non-
hazardous materials have certain chemical properties similar to
hazardous materials listed in the segregation groups. A person who
offers a hazardous material for transportation or the person
responsible for packing the materials into a cargo transport unit who
does have knowledge of the chemical properties of such non-hazardous
materials may identify a relevant segregation group and apply the
segregation requirements for that segregation group.

vessels and passenger vessels.

(a) General. When Column 10B of the Sec. 172.101 Table refers to a
numbered or alpha-numeric stowage provision for water shipments, the
meaning and requirements of that provision are set forth in this
section. Terms in quotation marks are defined in Sec. 176.83. Other
terms used in the table in this section such as ``acids'',
``chlorates'' and ``permanganates'' indicate different chemical groups
referred to here as segregation groups. Materials falling within a
segregation group are considered to have certain similar chemical
properties and, although not exhaustive in nature, the materials
belonging to each group include those substances identified in section
3.1.4 of the IMDG Code (IBR, see Sec. 171.7 of this subchapter) as set
forth in Sec. 176.83(m).

Subpart S----Testing of Flexible Bulk Containers

Sec. 178.1030 Purpose and scope.

This subpart prescribes certain testing requirements for Flexible
Bulk Containers identified in subpart R of this part.

Sec. 178.1035 General requirements.

(a) General. The test procedures prescribed in this subpart are
intended to ensure that Flexible Bulk Containers containing hazardous
materials can withstand normal conditions of transportation. These test
procedures are considered minimum requirements. Each packaging must be
manufactured and assembled so as to be capable of successfully passing
the prescribed tests and to conform to the requirements of Sec. 173.24
of this subchapter while in transportation.
(b) Responsibility. The Flexible Bulk Container manufacturer is
responsible for ensuring each Flexible Bulk Containers is capable of
passing the prescribed tests. To the extent a Flexible Bulk Container's
assembly function, including final closure, is performed by the person
who offers a hazardous material for transportation, that person is
responsible for performing the function in accordance with Sec. Sec.
173.22 and 178.2 of this subchapter.
(c) Definitions. For the purpose of this subpart:
(1) Flexible Bulk Container design type refers to a Flexible Bulk
Container that does not differ in structural design, size, material of
construction and packing.
(2) Design qualification testing is the performance of the drop,
topple, righting, tear, stacking, and top-lift tests prescribed in this
subpart, for each different Flexible Bulk Container design

[[Page 1099]]

type, at the start of production of that packaging.
(3) Periodic design requalification test is the performance of the
applicable tests specified in paragraph (c)(2) of this section on a
Flexible Bulk Container design type, to requalify the design for
continued production at the frequency specified in paragraph (e) of
this section.
(4) Production inspection is the inspection that must initially be
conducted on each newly manufactured Flexible Bulk Container.
(5) Different Flexible Bulk Container design type is one that
differs from a previously qualified Flexible Bulk Container design type
in structural design, size, material of construction, wall thickness,
or manner of construction, but does not include:
(i) A packaging that differs in surface treatment;
(ii) A packaging that differs only in its lesser external
dimensions (i.e., height, width, length) provided materials of
construction and material thickness or fabric weight remain the same;
(d) Design qualification testing. The packaging manufacturer must
achieve successful test results for the design qualification testing at
the start of production of each new or different Flexible Bulk
Container design type. Application of the certification mark by the
manufacturer constitutes certification that the Flexible Bulk Container
design type passed the prescribed tests in this subpart.
(e) Periodic design requalification testing. (1) Periodic design
requalification must be conducted on each qualified Flexible Bulk
Container design type if the manufacturer is to maintain authorization
for continued production. The Flexible Bulk Container manufacturer must
achieve successful test results for the periodic design requalification
at sufficient frequency to ensure each packaging produced by the
manufacturer is capable of passing the design qualification tests.
Design requalification tests must be conducted at least once every 24
months.
(2) Changes in the frequency of design requalification testing
specified in paragraph (e)(1) of this section are authorized if
approved by the Associate Administrator.
(f) Test samples. The manufacturer must conduct the design
qualification and periodic tests prescribed in this subpart using
random samples of packagings, in the numbers specified in the
appropriate test section.
(g) Proof of compliance. In addition to the periodic design
requalification testing intervals specified in paragraph (e) of this
section, the Associate Administrator, or a designated representative,
may at any time require demonstration of compliance by a manufacturer,
through testing in accordance with this subpart, to ensure packagings
meet the requirements of this subpart. As required by the Associate
Administrator, or a designated representative, the manufacturer must
either:
(1) Conduct performance tests or have tests conducted by an
independent testing facility, in accordance with this subpart; or
(2) Make a sample Flexible Bulk Container available to the
Associate Administrator, or a designated representative, for testing in
accordance with this subpart.
(h) Record retention. Following each design qualification test and
each periodic retest on a Flexible Bulk Container, a test report must
be prepared. The test report must be maintained at each location where
the Flexible Bulk Container is manufactured and each location where the
design qualification tests are conducted, for as long as the Flexible
Bulk Container is produced and for at least two years thereafter, and
at each location where the periodic retests are conducted until such
tests are successfully performed again and a new test report produced.
In addition, a copy of the test report must be maintained by a person
certifying compliance with this part. The test report must be made
available to a user of a Flexible Bulk Container or a representative of
the Department upon request. The test report, at a minimum, must
contain the following information:
(1) Name and address of test facility;
(2) Name and address of applicant (where appropriate);
(3) A unique test report identification;
(4) Date of the test report;
(5) Manufacturer of the packaging;
(6) Description of the flexible bulk container design type (e.g.,
dimensions materials, closures, thickness, etc.), including methods of
manufacture (e.g., blow molding) and which may include drawing(s) and/
or photograph(s);
(7) Maximum capacity;
(8) Characteristics of test contents (e.g., particle size for
solids);
(9) Mathematical calculations performed to conduct and document
testing (e.g., drop height, test capacity, outage requirements, etc.);
(10) Test descriptions and results; and
(11) Signature with the name and title of signatory.

Sec. 178.1040 Preparation of Flexible Bulk Containers for testing.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, each Flexible
Bulk Container must be closed in preparation for testing and tests must
be carried out in the same manner as if prepared for transportation.
All closures must be installed using proper techniques and torques.
(b) If the material to be transported is replaced for test purposes
by a non-hazardous material, the physical properties (grain, size,
viscosity) of the replacement material used that might influence the
results of the required tests must correspond as closely as possible to
those of the hazardous material to be transported. It is permissible to
use additives, such as bags of lead shot, to achieve the requisite
total package mass, so long as they do not affect the test results.

Sec. 178.1045 Drop test.

(a) General. The drop test must be conducted for the qualification
of all Flexible Bulk Container design types and performed periodically
as specified in Sec. 178.1035(e) of this subpart.

must be filled to their maximum permissible gross mass.
(c) Test method. (1) A sample of all Flexible Bulk Container design
types must be dropped onto a rigid, non-resilient, smooth, flat and
horizontal surface. This test surface must be large enough to be
immovable during testing and sufficiently large enough to ensure that
the test Flexible Bulk Container falls entirely upon the surface. The
test surface must be kept free from local defects capable of
influencing the test results.
(2) Following the drop, the Flexible Bulk Container must be
restored to the upright position for observation.
(d) Drop height. (1) For all Flexible Bulk Containers, drop heights
are specified as follows: Packing group III: 0.8 m (2.6 feet)
(2) Drop tests are to be performed with the solid to be transported
or with a non-hazardous material having essentially the same physical
characteristics.
(e) Criteria for passing the test. For all Flexible Bulk Container
design types there may be no loss of the filling substance. However a
slight discharge (e.g., from closures or stitch holes) upon impact is
not considered a failure of the Flexible Bulk Container provided that
no further leakage occurs after the container has been restored to the
upright position.

Sec. 178.1050 Top lift test.

(a) General. The top lift test must be conducted for the
qualification of all of

[[Page 1100]]
