I. Background

A. HM-215K and HM-215L

On January 7, 2013, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) published final rules under Docket Numbers
PHMSA-2009-0126 (HM-215K) [78 FR 1101] and PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L)
[78 FR 987] 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 were necessary to harmonize the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) with recent changes
made to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), the
International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for
the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO TI), and the United
Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Model
Regulations (UN Model Regulations). This final rule responds to four
appeals and certain comments concerning amendments in the January 7,
2013 final rules. This rulemaking also corrects various errors made
during the development of the rule and the printing process. Because
the amendments adopted herein impose no new regulatory burden on any
person, these amendments are being made effective without the usual 30-
day delay following publication. In addition, because these amendments
do not impose new requirements, notice and public comment procedures
are unnecessary.

B. HM-218G

On April 26, 2012, PHMSA published an NPRM under Docket PHMSA 2011-
0138 [77 FR 24885] (HM-218G) that proposed amendments to update and
clarify existing requirements of the HMR. The NPRM and the March 11,
2013 final rule are part of the Department of Transportation's (DOT)
Retrospective Regulatory Review (RRR) designed to identify ways to
improve the HMR. The NPRM proposed amendments to update and clarify
existing requirements by incorporating changes into the HMR based on
PHMSA initiatives. We identified the proposed amendments through an
extensive review of the HMR and letters of interpretation that we had
previously issued. In addition, the NPRM proposed to incorporate a
special permit with a longstanding history of safety into the HMR, and
included a response to a petition for rulemaking. This rulemaking makes
editorial changes to correct errors made during the development of the
HM-218G rule.

C. HM-219

On May 24, 2012, PHMSA published an NPRM under Docket PHMSA 2011-
0142 [77 FR 30976] (HM-219). The NPRM and the March 7, 2013 final rule
are part of the DOT's RRR designed to identify ways to improve the HMR.
The Administrative Procedure Act (APA) requires Federal agencies to
give interested persons the right to petition an agency to issue,
amend, or repeal a rule (5 U.S.C. 553(e)). Under PHMSA's rulemaking
procedures, you can request a change to the HMR. 49 CFR 106.95 permits
you to ask PHMSA to add, amend, or delete a regulation by filing a
petition for rulemaking containing adequate support for the requested
action. In the NPRM, we responded to eight petitions for rulemaking
submitted to us by various stakeholders. We proposed to amend the HMR
to update, clarify, or provide relief from miscellaneous regulatory
requirements at the request of the regulated community. This rulemaking
responds to administrative appeals and makes editorial corrections.

II. Administrative Appeals

A. HM-215K

In response to the January 7, 2013 final rule, HMT Associates,
L.L.C. (HMT) submitted an administrative appeal as follows:
1. Revised Sec. 173.167 and Reference Therein to Sec. 173.27(f)(2)
In the January 7, 2013 final rule, PHMSA revised section 173.167
for consistency with the ICAO TI. Specifically, the amendments were
intended to mirror the stand-alone closure requirements and other
provisions prescribed in Packing

[[Page 65455]]

Instruction Y963 of the ICAO TI applicable to consumer commodities
prepared and intended for transportation by aircraft. In order to
accomplish this, packages of consumer commodities prepared under the
provisions of Sec. 173.167 required exclusion from the provisions of
Subpart B of Part 173 (to include Sec. 173.27).
PHMSA Response:
In its administrative appeal, HMT correctly points out that the
revisions to Sec. 173.167 in the January 7, 2013 final rule
inadvertently provided the opposite effect by excepting such packages
from the requirements of Subpart B of Part 173 except for Sec.
173.27(f)(2) (emphasis added). Therefore, a correction is necessary and
warranted because Sec. 173.27(f)(2)(iv) requires a secondary means of
closure for combination packages of liquid limited quantity material.
Thus, we are granting HMT's administrative appeal and revise Sec. Sec.
173.24(i) and 173.167 accordingly for consumer commodities described
under ID8000.
2. Export Shipments of Consumer Commodities (ID8000)
As previously stated, in the January 7, 2013 final rule, Sec.
173.167 was revised for consistency with the consumer commodity
(ID8000) provisions under Packing Instruction Y963 of the ICAO TI. As a
result, unintended consequences were forced upon U.S. exporters of such
articles and substances. For example, in its administrative appeal, HMT
points out that an exporter must comply with:
Section 171.22(g)(5) when using international standards to
prepare shipments;
Section 171.22(g)(5) prescribes compliance with the
general packaging requirements in Sec. Sec. 173.24 and 173.24(a);
Section 173.24(i) prescribes compliance with Sec. 173.27;
and
Section 173.27 requires a secondary means of closure on
inner packagings of combination packages containing liquids. Such a
requirement is inconsistent with Packing Instruction Y963 of the ICAO
TI.
PHMSA Response:
We agree with HMT. In this final rule, we are granting its
administrative appeal by revising Sec. Sec. 173.24(i) and 173.167.
Consequently, revising Sec. 171.22(g)(5) is not necessary.

B. HM-215L

In response to the January 7, 2013 final rule, administrative
appeals were submitted by the following companies and organizations:

Dangerous Goods Advisory Council, Inc. (DGAC).
Kilofarad International.
Sporting Arms & Ammunition Manufacturer's Institute (SAAMI).

These administrative appeals are discussed in detail below.
1. Lithium Cell and Battery Design Tests
PHMSA received one administrative appeal from DGAC related to our
adoption of Amendment 1 to the 5th revised edition of the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria. Specifically, DGAC is concerned that we did not
provide in Sec. 173.185(a)(1) for the continued manufacture of lithium
cells and batteries of a type tested in accordance with the 5th revised
edition of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria. The DGAC appeal says
that this action would seem to require that all cells and batteries
first transported after January 1, 2006, will have to be of a type
tested in conformance with the newly incorporated edition of the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
DGAC recommends that PHMSA clarify that, irrespective of the
January 1, 2006 date in Sec. 173.185(a)(1), newly manufactured cells
and batteries of a type successfully tested to the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria, 3rd revised edition, Amendment 1, or a later edition, may
be transported without the need for the cell or battery type to be
retested and that cells and batteries already distributed and tested to
a previous edition of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria may continue
to be transported.
PHMSA Response:
DGAC correctly points out that we did not, consistent with previous
practice, include a grandfather provision for cells and batteries of a
type that meets the 5th revised edition. While this does not change our
intent to continue to permit the continued manufacture and
transportation of lithium cells and batteries of a type meeting the
requirements of a previously authorized edition of the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria, we agree this may result in confusion and
unnecessary retesting of previously validated designs.
In this final rule, we are accepting DGAC's appeal. We are adopting
its recommendation by adding a clarifying amendment to Sec. 173.185.
This amendment will provide a straightforward means of permitting the
continued manufacture and transport of lithium cell and battery designs
that were tested in accordance with the version of the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria effective when the cell/battery was first
manufactured.
2. Capacitors
PHMSA received administrative appeals from DGAC and Kilofarad
International relating to Sec. 173.176. This section was added in the
January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215L) and prescribes the requirements
for capacitors. DGAC and Kilofarad International contend that Sec.
173.176 does not align with the ICAO TI, in that an exception for short
circuit protection for a capacitor, or a capacitor in a module with an
energy storage capacity less than or equal to 10 Wh, provided in
special provision of A186 of the ICAO TI, is not provided in Sec.
173.176.
PHMSA Response:
Upon review, we agree and grant the appeals of DGAC and Kilofarad
International as they pertain to Sec. 173.176. In this final rule, we
are correcting this oversight by revising paragraphs (a)(2)(i) and
(a)(2)(ii) of Sec. 173.176 to maintain consistency with the ICAO TI. A
detailed discussion of this change is included in the Section-by-
Section Review for Sec. 173.176.
3. Class 1 Appeal (Various)
PHMSA received an administrative appeal from SAAMI regarding
various amendments in HM-215L made to requirements for transporting
certain Class 1 (explosive) materials. The SAAMI appeal consists of
eight separate issues that are summarized and discussed below.
SAAMI notes that in HM-215L the word ``None'' was removed from
Column (6) label codes and replaced with ``1.4S'' for the entries for
UN0012, ``Cartridges, small arms'' and UN0014, ``Cartridges, small
arms, blank'' in the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT). SAAMI notes that
there was no discussion of this change in the preamble to the final
rule and that the change was not proposed in the NPRM. SAAMI asks if
these changes were inadvertent. We acknowledge that there were
inadvertent changes, and therefore we are putting the word ``None''
back in Column (6) for these two entries.
SAAMI states that for the HMT entry UN0323, ``Cartridges, power
device'' the reference to Sec. 173.63 was removed from Column (8A) and
replaced with the word ``None.'' SAAMI requests that PHMSA reinsert the
reference to Sec. 173.63 in Column (8A), as the removal of this
reference breaks the connection to the ORM-D provisions for this table
entry. We agree, and we will reinsert the reference.
In HM-215L, several changes were made to the ``Cartridges, small
arms'' and ``Cartridges, power device'' HMT entries to ensure these
articles would

[[Page 65456]]

not be offered as ORM-D-AIR shipments. These HMT entries had Column
(9B) quantity limitations for cargo aircraft revised from ``30 kg'' to
``Forbidden'' and a new Special Provision 222 was assigned, which
states that shipments offered for transport by aircraft may not be
reclassed as ORM-D. SAAMI notes in its appeal that these changes were
not applied consistently to all ORM-D entries in the HMT, and requests
we make similar changes to the ORM-D ``Consumer commodity'' HMT entry
for consistency. We agree, and we are amending the HMT entry for
``Consumer commodity'' by adding Special Provision 222 to Column (7)
and replacing ``30 kg'' with ``Forbidden'' in Column (9B).
SAAMI requests that the word ``None'' should be deleted and left
blank in Column (4) for the ORM-D ``Cartridges, power device'' entry to
be consistent with the ORM-D entries for ``Cartridges, small arms'' and
``Consumer commodity''. We agree and we will delete the word ``None''
and leave the column blank for this entry.
SAAMI notes that the packing group entries in Column (5) for UN0501
and UN0509 in the HMT are blank, but for consistency with the other
Class 1 (explosive) entries these should be changed to ``II''. We
agree, and we are granting SAAMI's appeal on this issue.
The SAAMI appeal asks that we clarify section 173.63(b) to ensure
the terms ``Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening
devices) and ``Cartridges, power device,'' are appropriately identified
within the section. We agree that some clarifying amendments are needed
to Sec. 173.63 to ensure proper shipment of ``Cartridges, power
device'' and ``Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening
devices).''
SAAMI requests that clarifying text be added to indicate that
packages properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of Sec.
173.63(b) receive relief from the loading limits in Sec. 175.75. It
was never our intent to subject these shipments to these requirements
when they have historically received relief from the accessibility
requirements of Sec. 175.75. A shipment of UN0012, UN0014, or UN0055
properly packaged and marked in accordance with Sec. 173.63(b), is
excepted from the requirements of Sec. 175.75(c) and (e)(1) if it is
declared on air transport shipping papers as a limited quantity or not.
We agree, and we are granting SAAMI's appeal on this issue by amending
the list of materials that are excepted from the inaccessible loading
limits in Sec. 175.75.
SAAMI contends that the following language, added to Sec. 173.63
in the January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215L), constitutes a new
requirement for limited quantities of small arms ammunition to be
marked with the proper shipping when transported by air that was not
required by the final rule published on January 19, 2011 (76 FR 3308,
HM-215K):

In addition, packages containing such articles offered for
transportation by aircraft must be marked with the proper shipping
name as prescribed in the Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table of
this subchapter.

We disagree. The addition of the above language in the January 7,
2013 final rule (HM-215L) clarified that for transportation by air,
these articles are required to be marked with the proper shipping name.
This clarification did not impose a new or additional marking
requirement. The requirement for packages containing these articles to
be marked with the proper shipping name, when transported by air, was
included in the January 19, 2011 (76 FR 3308, HM-215K) final rule,
which provided in Sec. 173.63, ``Packages containing such articles
must be marked as prescribed in Sec. 172.315.'' Section 172.315(a)
further provides, ``Except for transportation by aircraft or as
otherwise provided in this subchapter, a package containing a limited
quantity of hazardous material is not required to be marked with the
proper shipping name and identification (ID) number when marked in
accordance with the white square-on-point limited quantity marking * *
*'' It is clear that under the final rule published on January 19, 2011
(76 FR 3308, HM-215K), packages containing these articles were not
excepted from the requirement to be marked with the proper shipping
name when transported by air. In addition, this requirement is
consistent with the ICAO TI that also requires packages containing
these articles to be marked with the proper shipping name. Accordingly,
we are denying SAAMI's appeal as it relates to this issue.

C. HM-219

In response to the March 7, 2013 final rule, administrative appeals
were submitted by the following companies and organizations:

DGAC.
SAAMI.
Reusable Industrial Packing Association (RIPA).
1. Smokeless Powder, Division 1.4C (P-1559)
Section 173.171 of the HMR allows smokeless powder for small arms
that has been classed as Division 1.3C (Explosive) to be reclassed for
domestic transportation as a Division 4.1 (Flammable Solid) material
for transportation by motor vehicle, rail car, vessel, or cargo-only
aircraft, subject to certain conditions. In a final rule published on
January 14, 2009 under Docket Nos. PHMSA-2007-0065 (HM-224D) and PHMSA-
2008-0005 (HM-215J), we added a new description to the HMT for UN0509,
``Powder, smokeless, Division 1.4C.'' However, the rulemaking did not
extend the exception provided for Division 1.3C in Sec. 173.171 to
Division 1.4C materials.
SAAMI, in a petition (P-1559), requested that we amend Sec.
173.171 to allow Division 1.4C smokeless powder to be reclassed as a
Division 4.1 material. SAAMI sought, with proper examination and
approval, to allow a Division 1.4C material which, by definition (see
Sec. 173.50), poses the lesser safety risk when compared with Division
1.3 explosives, to be reclassed as a Division 4.1 material.
We included SAAMI's proposal, with some modifications, in the HM-
219 NPRM. The petition asked that we amend Sec. 173.171(a) by adding
the text ``and 1.4C'' after the text ``1.3.'' In the HM-219 NPRM, we
revised Sec. 173.171 to address Division 1.4C explosives and added a
new separate paragraph for Division 1.4C explosives to ensure that the
allowable net mass in the combination packagings did not exceed the net
mass of the material that had been examined and approved. In addition,
we proposed to revise Special Provision 16 in Sec. 172.102 to reflect
the addition of Division 1.4C explosives. We received a comment to the
NPRM from SAAMI stating that they:

[H]ave studied this proposed change, and find that the sole
effect is to allow a flammable solid which emanated from a Division
1.4 classification to exceed the current eight pound limit per inner
package. Unless a need for this change is substantiated, we see no
reason why the flammable solid classification limit for inner
packages should be amended. Furthermore this would be unenforceable
in the field.

We considered this and the other comments to the NPRM, and
published a final rule on March 7, 2013, under Docket Number PHMSA-
2011-0142 (HM-219). With regard to the amendments adopted in the final
rule for smokeless powder for small arms we modified the amendments
proposed in the NPRM as follows:
Special Provision 16 of Sec. 172.102 was revised to read:
``This description applies to smokeless powder and other propellant
powders that are used as powder for small arms and have been

[[Page 65457]]

classed as Division 1.3C and 1.4C and reclassed to Division 4.1 in
accordance with Sec. 173.56 and Sec. 173.58 of this subchapter.''
The introductory paragraph of Sec. 173.171 was revised to
read: ``Powders that have been classed in Division 1.3 or Division 1.4C
may be reclassed in Division 4.1, for domestic transportation by motor
vehicle, rail car, vessel, or cargo-only aircraft, subject to the
following conditions.''
Section 173.171(a) was revised to read: ``Powders that
have been approved as Division 1.3C or Division 1.4C may be reclassed
to Division 4.1 in accordance with Sec. Sec. 173.56 and 173.58 of this
part.''
Section 173.171(c) was revised to read: ``Only combination
packagings with inner packagings not exceeding 3.6 kg (8 pounds) net
mass and outer packaging of UN 4G fiberboard boxes meeting the Packing
Group I standards are authorized. Inner packagings must be arranged and
protected so as to prevent simultaneous ignition of the contents. The
complete package must be of the same type that has been examined as
required in Sec. 173.56 of this part.''
Section 173.171(d) was revised to read: ``The net weight
of smokeless powder in any one box (one package) must not exceed 7.3 kg
(16 pounds).''
PHMSA Response:
On March 17, 2013, SAAMI submitted an appeal to the regulatory
changes adopted in the HM-219 final rule with respect to smokeless
powder. SAAMI requested that we remove ``all changes in the final rule
which were not in the proposed rule, except those changes which deleted
extraneous text from the proposed rule in response to SAAMI's
comments.'' SAAMI also noted in its appeal that HM-219 inadvertently
showed ``Forbidden'' in Column (9B) in conjunction with the listing in
the HMT for UN0509, ``Smokeless powder, Division 1.4C.''
SAAMI appealed the wording in the HM-219 final rule of Special
Provision 16. It indicated that it should read as it did in the NPRM,
which was: ``[t]his description applies to smokeless powder and other
solid propellants that are used as powder for small arms and have been
classed as Division 1.3, 1.4 and 4.1 in accordance with Sec. 173.56 of
this subchapter.'' We revised Special Provision 16 in the final rule
because it was our intent to clearly indicate that only smokeless
powder or propellant in powder form may qualify for reclassification as
Division 4.1, and ensure that powders that have hazard properties
different from ``propellants'' could not be reclassified into Division
4.1. SAAMI indicated that the introductory text in Sec. 173.171 should
read as follows:

As with Special Provision 16, by changing the terminology in the
final rule from ``solid propellants'' to ``propellant powders'' it was
our intent to clearly indicate that only smokeless powder or propellant
in powder form may qualify for reclassification as Division 4.1, and we
wanted to ensure that powders that have hazard properties different
from ``propellants'' could not be reclassified into Division 4.1. In
the HM-219 final rule, we had revised the language in Sec. 173.171(a)
to read: ``Powders that have been approved as Division 1.3C or Division
1.4C may be reclassed to Division 4.1 in accordance with Sec. Sec.
173.56 and 173.58 of this part.'' SAAMI indicated that Sec. 173.171(a)
should read:

(a) The powder must be examined and approved for a Division 1.3
or Division 1.4 and Division 4.1 classification in accordance with
Sec. Sec. 173.56 and 173.58 of this part.

As indicated in the HM-219 final rule, our intent with the revision
to Sec. Sec. 173.171(c) and 173.171(d) was to ensure that the
allowable net mass did not exceed the net mass of the material that had
been examined and approved. The consequences of the revision detailed
in SAAMI's appeal were unintentional. SAAMI indicated that the
amendments to Sec. Sec. 173.171(c) and 173.171(d) should be retracted.
They state:

The deletion of text in paragraph (d) ignores [that paragraph
(d) authorizes the intermixing of different inner packaging of
tested and approved combination packagings with no further testing
provided certain conditions are met and that several packages
meeting the condition set forth in Sec. 173.171(d) may be
overpacked together if the 100 pound net mass limitation is not
exceeded] and prohibits the ability to mix brands and sizes of
powder without further EX approval or performance oriented packaging
(POP) testing.

In this response to SAAMI's appeal, we are revising the listing in
the HMT for UN0509, ``Smokeless powder, Division 1.4C'' in Column (9B)
to read ``75 kg'' and revising the vessel stowage codes in Columns
(10A) and (10B) to show ``2'' and ``25,'' respectively. These were
unintentional typographical errors. This was not the intention of the
HM-219 rulemaking and we are correcting those errors in this final
rule.
We are revising special provision 16 to read as it did in the HM-
219 NPRM, and the introductory language in Sec. 173.171 to read:
``Smokeless powder for small arms which has been classed in Division
1.3 or Division 1.4 may be reclassed in Division 4.1, for domestic
transportation by motor vehicle, rail car, vessel, or cargo-only
aircraft, subject to the following conditions.'' We are also
reestablishing Sec. Sec. 173.171(c) and 173.171(d) to read as they did
before the amendments of HM-219 were adopted. These amendments were
made in the interest of clarification.
As the revisions to the wording to Sec. 173.171(a) in HM-219 were
designed to provide relief for shippers of smokeless powder, in that
they would not be required to retest powders already classed as
Division 1.3C or 1.4C, we are retaining the wording as shown in the HM-
219 final rule for Sec. 173.171(a).
2. Clarification of Alcohol and Gasoline Mixtures (P-1522)
In HM-219, PHMSA responded to Shell Chemicals' petition (P-1522) to
remove from the HMT the listing for ``Gasohol, with not more than 10%
ethanol.'' Shell Chemicals stated that the proper shipping names for
``Gasoline, includes gasoline mixed with ethyl alcohol (ethanol), with
not more than 10% alcohol'' and ``Ethanol and gasoline mixture or
Ethanol and motor spirit mixture or Ethanol and petrol mixture with
more than 10% ethanol,'' provide the necessary entries for accurate and
specific descriptions of these fuel blends. Consistent with the removal
of Gasohol from the HMT, Shell Chemicals requested that we remove
reference to Gasohol in Sec. Sec. 172.336(c)(4) and 172.336(c)(5),
which contain hazard communication requirements for compartmented cargo
tanks, tank cars, or cargo tanks containing these fuels. These
provisions were amended as the result of a final rule issued on January
28, 2008, under Docket No. PHMSA-05-21812 (HM-218D), and were intended
to help emergency responders identify and respond to the hazards unique
to fuel blends with high ethanol concentrations.
Shell Chemicals also requested that we remove special provision 172
from Column (7) in association with all packing groups for the Proper
Shipping Name ``Alcohols, n.o.s.'' Special provision 172 states that
``this entry includes alcohol mixtures containing up to 5% petroleum
products.''
In its petition, Shell Chemicals contended that:

Canada does not permit the use of UN1987, Alcohols, n.o.s.' for
alcohol mixtures containing up to 5% petroleum products. A shipment
originating in the United States,

[[Page 65458]]

destined for a customer in Canada using the proper shipping name of
``UN1987, Alcohols, n.o.s.'' must change the placard and the proper
shipping name and to use the entry `UN3475, Ethanol and Gasoline
mixture,' when the packaging is returned to the United States. The
use of both PSN entries causes a lot of confusion.

For these reasons, Shell Chemicals stated that these blends should
not be permitted to be transported under the ``UN 1987, Alcohols,
n.o.s.''; rather, ``NA 1987, Denatured alcohol,'' and ``UN 3475,
Ethanol and gasoline mixture or Ethanol and motor spirit mixture or
Ethanol and petrol mixture,'' are more appropriate descriptions.
In the HM-219 NPRM, we proposed removal of the entry ``Gasohol''
from the HMT and we retained special provision 172 in association with
``Alcohols, n.o.s.'' We indicated that, while we agree that ``Denatured
alcohol'' is a more accurate description, this proper shipping name
applies to domestic shipments only and may not be available to imported
shipments of alcohol mixtures containing up to 5% petroleum products.
DGAC, in its comments to the HM-219 NPRM, agreed with Shell
Chemicals and stated that:

[I]n North America, international shipments of gasoline/ethanol
mixtures are predominately between the US and Canada by either
highway or rail. Canada does not permit the use of UN1987 in the
manner permitted by Special Provision 172. Shipments where UN1987 is
used for ethanol/gasoline mixtures face frustrations when moving
into Canada, requiring placards to be changed to comply with
Canadian regulations.

DGAC stated that the full range of gasoline and ethanol
concentrations is covered by UN1203 and UN3475, making special
provision 172 unnecessary. We agree that the full range of gasoline and
ethanol concentrations can be covered by UN1203 and UN3475. However,
when the regulations were changed to incorporate UN3475, and the number
of shipments and types of gasoline/ethanol blends increased in 2008,
stakeholders (including industry, emergency responders, and local,
state and Federal government entities) made it apparent that there was
a need for that special provision. Special provision 172 was
established in response to concerns expressed by stakeholders for the
safety of emergency responders. The Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG)
directs emergency responders to Guide 128 for ID number 1993, and
recommends ``regular foam'' to fight large fires. Guide 127 for ID
number 1987 recommends ``alcohol-resistant foam.'' Special provision
172, as provided in the entries for ``Denatured Alcohol, NA 1987'' and
``Alcohols, n.o.s., UN 1987,'' allows solutions of alcohol and
petroleum products to be described as either ``Denatured Alcohol'' or
``Alcohols, n.o.s.,'' provided the solution contains no more than 5%
petroleum products, and alerts emergency responders as to the type of
foam needed to extinguish a fire. For these reasons, in the HM-219
final rule we amended the HMT by removing the listing for ``Gasohol,
gasoline mixed with ethyl alcohol, with not more than 10% alcohol,'' we
retained Special provision 172, and we revised Sec. 172.336 to remove
all references to ``Gasohol'' and to add a table to more clearly
indicate hazard communication requirements for compartmented cargo
tanks, tank cars, or cargo tanks containing these fuels.
PHMSA Response:
On April 3, 2013, DGAC appealed the retention of special provision
172 and requested that we provide a one-year effective date for the
removal of the listing in the HMT for ``Gasohol.'' DGAC reasoned that
special provision 172 should be removed because Canada no longer
recognizes it, and that special provision 330 in the UN Model
Regulations, which closely resembled special provision 172, was removed
in the 14th edition.
With respect to extending the effective date to one year from
publication of final rule HM-219 for the removal of the listing for
``Gasohol'' in the HMT, this is already authorized in Sec. 172.101(l).
By operation of law, packages filled prior to the effective date of the
amendment may be shipped; and stocks of preprinted shipping papers and
package markings to be used, in the manner previously authorized, until
depleted or for a one-year period, subsequent to the effective date of
the amendment, whichever is less. As stakeholders already have one year
to diminish their supplies, it is not necessary for us to extend the
effective date for the removal of Gasohol in this final rule.
Regarding special provision 172, it is important to note that we
did not propose its removal in the NPRM. While DGAC commented to our
intent to retain special provision 172 citing reasons why it should be
removed, we disagreed with DGAC in the HM-219 final rule. Although
special provision 330 was removed from the UN Model Regulations, we
believe that domestically it provides emergency responders with
accurate and important response guidance. Furthermore, because we did
not propose the removal of special provision 172 in the HM-219 NPRM, we
cannot remove it in this final rule without providing public notice and
the opportunity for all interested stakeholders to comment. For these
reasons we are retaining special provision 172 in this final rule.
3. Certification Packaging Marking and Recordkeeping Requirements (P-
1479)
PHMSA responded to a petition for rulemaking by gh Package &
Product, Testing and Consulting, Inc. (PPTC), (P-1479), which requested
that we consider amending the HMR to indicate that an entity performing
continued packaging certification on a UN certification packaging is
not allowed to use the original manufacturer's or third party
laboratory's mark unless authorized by the manufacturer or third-party
laboratory. PPTC also requested we amend the HMR to provide that
packaging test reports be kept for a limited time instead of the
current requirement of ``until the packaging is no longer
manufactured.''
Marking
Regarding the manufacturer's or third party tester's mark, PPTC
stated that its third-party laboratory performed design qualification
testing of a manufacturer's packaging at least three times, and the
packaging failed each time. Eleven years after PPTC had tested the
packaging, it learned that the packaging that had failed in its
laboratory was still being manufactured and that PPTC's third-party
laboratory symbol was being used on the packaging as the packaging
tester's mark without permission. PPTC is of the opinion that the
language in Sec. 178.3 is unclear because it enables anyone to use the
manufacturer's mark, which could expose the original third-party test
laboratory to potential liability for defective packaging and other
packaging violations.
Section 178.3 provides the person who is certifying compliance of a
packaging with the option of marking the packaging with a symbol,
rather than the company name and address, provided that the symbol is
registered with PHMSA's Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials
Safety. While it is implied that the symbol being used is that of the
person who has registered the symbol, it is not explicit. PPTC has
indicated that since the regulations do not specify who is authorized
to use the mark, some third-party retesters that did not initially
certify the packaging are continuing to use the original third-party
laboratory's symbol to certify compliance. While the symbol is
associated with the original manufacturer or third-party laboratory,

[[Page 65459]]

that entity has no control over the packaging being retested by someone
else.
In the HM-219 NPRM, we proposed to revise Sec. 178.3(a)(2) to
clarify that the required marking must identify the person who is
certifying that the packaging has passed either the periodic retest or
the design qualification test. We further proposed that, unless
authorized in writing by the holder of the symbol, symbols must
represent either the packaging manufacturer or the approval agency
responsible for providing the most recent certification for the
packaging through design certification testing or periodic retesting,
as applicable.
DGAC disagreed with the proposed changes stating that they would
have the effect of replacing, in the UN performance packaging marking,
the mark of the person who performed the design qualification tests
with the mark of the person who performed the most recent periodic
retest. DGAC stated that ``periodic retesting does not necessarily
confirm compliance with all requirements applicable to a UN design type
(e.g., requirements in Sec. Sec. 178.504-523).'' We are aware of the
differences between design qualification and periodic retesting, and
understand that under the UN Model Regulations the manufacturer's
marking is intended to signify the entity responsible for the design
qualification test. Our intent is to ensure that under the HMR, the
marking on the packaging is traceable to the entity responsible for
certifying the packaging--whether that certification is signifying that
the packaging passed the design qualification test or the periodic
retest. Currently, the HMR differ from the UN Model Regulations with
respect to the testing of packagings because the UN Model Regulations
only require a design test and do not require periodic retesting of
packagings. For this reason, the UN Model Regulations do not have to
account for the potential of unauthorized use of a third-party
laboratory's symbol, nor do they have to distinguish what the mark
signifies. In Chapter 6.1, paragraph 6.1.3 of the UN Recommendations,
with respect to marking, Note 1 states that: ``The marking indicates
that the packaging which bears it corresponds to a successfully tested
design type and that it complies with the requirements of this Chapter
. . .''; whereas the HMR in Sec. 178.503(a)(8) states: ``A packaging
conforming to a UN standard must be marked as follows: [with] the name
and address or symbol of the manufacturer or the approval agency
certifying compliance with subpart L and subpart M of this part.''
Subpart M includes both design type and periodic retesting.
Further, DGAC states that:

[A] consequence of the proposed changes is that the UN package
marking for a given design type would have to be changed at least
every year in the case of single or composite packagings and every
two years in the case of combination packagings. It does not appear
that PHMSA has considered the costs of changing these package
markings at this frequency in its regulatory evaluation. At a
minimum, such marking changes could result in considerable
administrative costs. In addition, we question whether these changes
would provide a meaningful enhancement to safety.

It is our intent that the certification mark indicated on a
packaging is that of the person manufacturing the packaging, or testing
the packaging, on behalf of the manufacturer. We anticipated the
concerns raised by DGAC and as such, provided an allowance for the use
of the mark of the person who performed the design qualification tests
if authorized in writing by the holder of the mark. An additional
option is that the mark is representative of the person who physically
manufactured the packaging, in which case, it would not change based on
who conducts the design testing or retesting.
For these reasons, we adopted the changes proposed regarding the
packaging certifier's mark in the HM-219 final rule and revised Sec.
178.3 to indicate that the required marking must identify the person
who is certifying that the packaging meets the applicable UN Standard.
Further, for continued certification of the packaging through periodic
retesting, the marking must identify the person who certifies that the
packaging continues to meet the applicable UN Standard.
PHMSA Response:
In an appeal dated March 27, 2013, DGAC contends that:

[T]he new requirement introduces certain inconsistencies within
the HMR, the costs of the change could be significant, and that
PHMSA has provided insufficient time to provide for orderly
implementation. In addition, considering the lack of discussion, it
would appear that PHMSA did not consider the change under
requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act. Contrary to PHMSA's
assertion that the change is a clarification, it is a fundamental
change to the regulations.

DGAC also asserts that the effective date of the HM-219 final rule
does not provide enough time for users of another entity's mark to
request permission to use the mark. We believe that the allowances
provided by the final rule, such as requesting permission from the
person who conducted the design testing, using the mark of the person
who physically manufactured the packaging, or using its own mark, are
sufficient and timely options.
DGAC further asserts:

Since PHMSA did not discuss the change under the preamble
heading ``F. Paperwork Reduction Act'', it is assumed that PHMSA's
analysis did not account for the increased information collection
required due to this change. Under 5 CFR Sec. 1320.3(c)(1) an
information collection includes a ``posting, notification, labeling,
or similar disclosure requirements''. In our opinion, a UN package
marking would fall within this category of information collection.
In addition, under 5 CFR Sec. 1320.2(b)(1), a burden is defined to
include: ``(v) Adjusting the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements;'' On this
basis, we are under the impression that changing the required
marking on UN packagings (i.e., replacing the design qualification
laboratory symbol with the manufacturer or retest laboratory symbol)
constitutes a ``burden'' as defined by the PRA regulations.

Regarding the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA), we have not revised
the marking requirements. We have simply clarified in the regulations
that a person may not use the mark of the person who performed the
design qualification testing when marking for a periodic retest without
the written permission of the person who performed the design
qualification test. We see no difference in the paperwork burden
between the current regulations and the changes made under the HM-219
final rule. To underscore this point, we note that the requirements
prior to the publication of the HM-219 final rule allowed the person
that performed the periodic retest to mark the packaging with its mark.
Specifically, for non-bulk packaging, Sec. 178.503(e)(8) requires that
the packaging be marked with the name and address or symbol of the
manufacturer or the approval agency certifying compliance with Subparts
L and M of Part 178. Design qualification testing and periodic
retesting requirements are provided in Subpart M of Part 178. The
intent of the periodic retest is to ensure that each packaging produced
by the manufacturer is capable of passing the design qualification
tests.
Therefore, we have not amended the marking requirements. Rather, we
have merely clarified that a person who retests and marks a packaging
may use its own mark, but may not use the mark of another testing
entity without the written permission of that entity. For these
reasons, we are retaining the revisions made in the HM-219 final rule
to Sec. 178.3(a)(2) and are not extending

[[Page 65460]]

the effective date with respect to these requirements.
4. Test Reports
The record retention requirements for packaging testing in sections
178.601(l), 178.801(l), and 178.955(i), indicate that the test report
must be maintained at each location where the packaging is manufactured
and each location where the design qualification tests are conducted
for as long as the packaging is produced and for at least two years
thereafter. As described in PPTC's petition, the original packaging
manufacturer or third-party packaging testing laboratory is often not
aware that a packaging is still being made, but is required to retain
records until the packaging is no longer made. PPTC contends that a
third-party laboratory should not be responsible for providing
information on packaging that it has no control or approval over.
In the HM-219 NPRM, we proposed to revise Sec. 178.601(l), which
specifies recordkeeping requirements for testing non-bulk packaging;
Sec. 178.801(l), which specifies recordkeeping requirements for
testing Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs); and Sec. 178.955(i),
which specifies recordkeeping requirements for testing large
packagings, to indicate that records must be maintained by:
The manufacturer for as long as the packaging is made and
two years thereafter;
The person performing the design testing until the next
periodic retest is successfully performed, a new test report is
produced, and five years thereafter; and
The person performing the periodic retest until the next
periodic retest is successfully performed and a new test report
produced.
In its comments to the HM-219 NPRM, DGAC opposed this change,
stating that:

PHMSA may alter the required frequency based on an approval and,
in the case of IBCs and Large packagings, PHMSA may substitute a
quality control program for required periodic retesting (see Sec.
178.801(e)(2)). As such, the periodic retest date is not a date
certain, raising the question of how the person who conducted the
design qualification tests can know the actual time period for
retaining records. If PHMSA maintains the proposed record retention
requirements in some form, we recommend the retention period be tied
to the date of the design qualification testing rather than the date
of periodic retesting. When the required packaging retest frequency
is based on an approval and, in the case of IBCs and Large
packagings, a quality control program is substituted for required
periodic retesting, records would have to be maintained predicated
on the specifications of each approval.

We agreed with DGAC that retest dates may vary depending on a
variety of factors (e.g. the manufacturer may choose a higher frequency
than required, PHMSA may alter the required frequency based on an
approval and, in the case of IBCs and large packagings, PHMSA may
substitute a quality control program for required periodic retesting).
In the HM-219 final rule, we added the word ``required'' in conjunction
with the design qualification and periodic retesting recordkeeping
requirements to clarify that records of the retest must be kept only
for the specified duration after the HMR-required test is performed
successfully. Specifically, we revised the language proposed in the HM-
219 NPRM in Sec. 178.601(l), which specified recordkeeping
requirements for testing non-bulk packaging; Sec. 178.801(l), which
specified recordkeeping requirements for testing IBCs; and Sec.
178.955(i), which specified recordkeeping requirements for testing
large packagings, to indicate that records are maintained until the
next required periodic retest is successfully performed and a new test
report produced. In all other respects, we amended the HMR as proposed
in the HM-219 NPRM. In doing so, we limited the document retention
period for persons conducting initial design testing to five years
beyond the next successful required periodic retest. In addition, we
provided a table to clearly identify the retention requirements for
test reports. The table appeared as follows in the HM-219 final rule:

PHMSA Response:
In an appeal dated March 28, 2013, RIPA asked that we reconsider
the record retention requirement changes to Sec. 178.601(l), for
testing non-bulk packaging; Sec. 178.801(l), for testing IBCs; and
Sec. 178.955(i) for large packagings. RIPA states:

As other commentators have pointed out, design type tests and
periodic retests are not necessarily equivalent, e.g. paper or
fiberboard. We wonder why PHMSA would allow the original design type
test to disappear at any time during the production life of a
packaging.

Further, RIPA suggests that instead of the recordkeeping
requirements published in HM-219 final rule, the following
recordkeeping requirements should apply:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Responsible party Duration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Person manufacturing the packaging..... Design test and most recent
periodic retest maintained as
long as manufactured and two
years thereafter.
Person performing design testing....... Design test maintained for six
years after the test is
successfully performed.
Person performing periodic retesting... Until next required periodic
retest is successfully
performed and a new test
report produced.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The amendment to the recordkeeping requirements for packaging
testing was intended to limit the record retention time period for the
person performing the design type test. We did this because the third-
party packaging testing laboratory is often not aware that a packaging
is still being made. We provided that the design test results are kept
until the next required periodic retest is successfully performed, a
new test report produced, and five years

[[Page 65461]]

thereafter. For single or composite packagings, the record retention
duration would have been six years, as the suggested language shows in
the RIPA appeal. However, for combination packagings and packagings
intended for infectious substances, the record retention duration would
have been for seven years. With respect to the retester's recordkeeping
requirements, we stated that the retester must keep records until the
next periodic retest is successfully performed, which would be one year
for single or composite packagings and two years for combination
packagings or packagings intended for infectious substances.
We agree with RIPA regarding its suggested revisions to the
recordkeeping requirement for persons performing the design testing,
but we also will clarify in this final rule that the recordkeeping
requirements for combination packagings and packagings intended for
infectious substances is seven years. Instead of requiring periodic
retesters to keep records until the next required periodic retest is
successfully performed and a new test report produced, we are
clarifying that the duration the records must be kept are one year
after the test has been successfully performed for single or composite
packagings and two years after the test has been successfully performed
for combination packagings or packagings intended for infectious
substances. In its appeal to the HM-219 final rule, RIPA questions why
PHMSA would allow the original design type test to disappear. We have
always intended for the manufacturer to retain all test records,
including the design qualification and all periodic retest. In this
final rule we are revising the tables in Sec. Sec. 178.601(l),
178.801(l) and 178.955(i) as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Responsible party Duration
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Person manufacturing the packaging..... As long as manufactured and two
years thereafter.
Person performing design testing....... Design test maintained for a
single or composite packaging
for six years after the test
is successfully performed and
for a combination packaging or
packaging intended for
infectious substances for
seven years after the test is
successfully performed.
Person performing periodic retesting... Performance test maintained for
a single or composite
packaging for one year after
the test is successfully
performed and for a
combination packaging or
packaging intended for
infectious substances for two
years after the test is
successfully performed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

III. Section-by-Section Review of Changes

In this final rule, we are making editorial corrections and
clarifying amendments to sections that were amended by the final rules
HM-215K and HM-215L both published January 7, 2013; HM-218G published
March 11, 2013; and HM-219 published March 7, 2013, for consistency
with grammatical conventions and for consistency with similar
provisions within the HMR. We are also making conforming amendments to
sections in the HMR affected by these four final rules. The clarifying
or conforming amendments in this final rule do not impose new
requirements but rather are intended to provide a better understanding
of the requirements adopted in the final rules. The corrections and
amendments are as follows:

Part 171

Section 171.7
This section lists material incorporated by reference into the HMR.
In the January 7, 2013 final rule PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), we
incorporated UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition, Amendment 1 (2011)
(Manual of Tests and Criteria), which was intended to supplement UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Manual of Tests
and Criteria, fifth revised edition (2009), however we replaced the
reference to the fifth revised edition (2009) with the supplement
(Amendment 1) only. In this final rule, we are revising Sec. 171.7(dd)
by adding UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods,
Manual of Tests and Criteria, fifth revised edition (2009).
Section 171.8
This section defines terms generally used throughout the HMR that
have broad or multi-modal applicability. In the January 7, 2013 final
rule PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), we introduced the definition Aircraft
Battery in the section-by-section review, however, it was not added to
the regulatory text. In this final rule, we are adding the defined term
Aircraft Battery to mean ``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.''
Section 171.23
This section prescribes requirements for specific materials and
packagings transported under the ICAO TI, IMDG, Transport Canada TDG
Regulations or the IAEA Regulations. In paragraph (b)(8), the Organic
Peroxide Table incorrectly referenced as Sec. 173.225(b) and should be
Sec. 173.225(c). In this rule, we are correcting this error.

Part 172

Section 172.101
This section prescribes the purpose and instructions for use of the
Sec. 172.102 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT). In the January 7, 2013
final rule PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), we added ``Chemical under
pressure, n.o.s.'' entries to the HMT to address shipments of liquids
or solids (e.g., adhesives, coatings, and cleaners) combined with a gas
or gas mixtures utilized to expel the contents from pressure vessels.
We authorized UN Portable Tanks by referencing 173.313 in Column (8C)
bulk packaging authorizations, but inadvertently failed to authorize
the use of DOT specification tanks. We are adding ``315'' to Column
(8C) for the ``Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.'' entries authorizing
use of DOT specification tanks.
In the January 7, 2013 final rule PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), we
attempted to remove an erroneous entry for ``Aerosols, poison, (each
not exceeding 1 L capacity), UN1950'' from the table. This entry was
not removed during publishing, and resulted in two entries for
``Aerosols, poison'' currently existing in the HMT. In this final rule
we are removing the duplicative entry for ``Aerosols, poison, (each not
exceeding 1 L capacity).
In the January 19, 2011 final rule (PHMSA-2009-0126 [HM-215K]),
PHMSA revised several organometallic substance entries in the HMT by
adding

[[Page 65462]]

the new portable tank special provision TP36. A number of entries were
erroneously duplicated in the publication process and, in this final
rule, we are removing the duplicate entries. Additionally, in the
January 19, 2011 final rule, the sour crude oil entry under UN3494 was
added to the HMT and erroneously placed between the Packing Group II
and III petroleum oil entries under NA1270. This final rule corrects
that error.
PHMSA identified a typographical error as a result of revisions
made in the HM-219 final rule. In the HMT, the listing for ``self-
reactive solid type E'' showed an incorrect ID number in Column (4),
and incorrect quantity limitations in Columns (9A) and (9B). Upon
publication of the HM-219 NPRM, PHMSA did not receive any comment on
the unintended typographical errors in the HMT and, therefore, PHMSA
adopted the changes as proposed in the final rule. PHMSA acknowledges
that these typographical errors in HM-219 were not intended. In
addition, an error occurred during publishing that caused in the
listing for ``Self-reactive solid type E'' to be removed and the
listing for ``Self-reactive solid type F'' to be duplicated. In this
final rule, we are removing the duplicate listing for ``Self-reactive
solid type F'' and correcting the entry in the HMT for ``Self-reactive
solid type E,'' to indicate ``UN3228'' in Column (4) and ``10 kg'' in
Column (9A) and ``25 kg'' in Column (9B) by re-adding the listing that
was removed in error.
We are making a number of editorial corrections to several entries
in the HMT. The editorial corrections are as follows:
Amendments to Column (1) Symbols
For the entry ``Sulfuric acid, fuming with 30 percent or more free
sulfur trioxide, UN1831,'' the ``+'' Symbol in Column (1) is removed as
it was inadvertently added when the entry was amended in HM-218G.
Amendments to Column (4) Identification Numbers
For the entry ``Cartridges power device (used to project
fastening devices), ORM-D,'' the Identification Number in Column (4) is
amended to indicate a blank entry consistent with the remaining ORM-D
entries in the HMT.
For the entry for ``Self-reactive solid type E,'' the
Identification Number in column (4) is revised to read ``UN3228.''
Amendments to Column (5) Packing Group
For the entry ``Powder, smokeless, UN0509'', the Packing
Group in Column (5) is corrected to read ``II.''
For the entry ``Propellant, solid, UN0501'', the Packing
Group in Column (5) is corrected to read ``II.''
Amendments to Column (6) Label Codes
For the entry ``Cartridges for weapons, blank or Cartridges, small
arms, blank or Cartridges for tools, blank, UN0014'', the Label Code in
Column (6) is corrected to read ``None''.
For the entry ``Cartridges for weapons, inert projectile
or Cartridges, small arms, UN0012,'' the Label Code in Column (6) is
corrected to read ``None.''
Amendments to Column (7) Special Provisions
For the entry ``Consumer commodity, ORM-D,'' special
provision 222 is added in Column (7) for consistency with the other
ORM-D entries in the HMT.
For the entries ``Substances, explosive, n.o.s.,''
assigned to UN numbers UN0357, UN0358, and UN0359, special provision
101 is added in Column (7) as intended and mentioned in the preamble to
the HM-215L final rule.
For the entry ``Other regulated substances, liquid,
n.o.s.,'' special provision A189 is added in Column (7) as indicated by
the preamble discussion in the HM-215L final rule to help direct
shippers to the most appropriate entry for shipments of formaldehyde
solutions containing varying amounts of formaldehyde.
Amendments to Column (8A) Packaging Exceptions
For the entry ``Cartridges, power device, UN0323,'' the
Packaging Exception in Column (8A) is corrected to read ``63.''
Amendments to Column (8C) Bulk Packaging Authorizations
For the ``Chemical under pressure, n.o.s.'' entries, the
packaging authorization ``315'' is added to Column (8C) to authorize
use of DOT specification tanks in addition to UN portable tanks.
Amendments to Column (9) Quantity Limitations
For the entry ``Consumer commodity, ORM-D,'' the Quantity
Limitation in Column (9B) is revised to read ``Forbidden,'' consistent
with the other ORM-D entries in the HMT.
For the entry for ``Powder, smokeless, 1.4C,'' the
Quantity Limitation in Column (9B) is revised to read ``75kg.''
For the entry for ``Self-reactive solid type E,'' the
Quantity Limitation in Column (9) is revised to read ``10 kg'' in
column (9A) and ``25 kg'' in Column (9B).
Amendments to Column (10) Vessel Stowage Requirements
For the entry ``Model rocket motor, NA0276,'' the Vessel
Stowage in Column (10) is corrected to read ``02'' in Column (10A) and
``25'' in Column (10B).
For the entry ``Model rocket motor, UN0323,'' the Vessel
Stowage in Column (10) is corrected to read ``01'' in Column (10A) and
``25'' in Column (10B).
Corrections are made to the following entries in Column
(10A) of the HMT for Vessel Stowage Location codes by adding a ``0''
preceding a single digit entry; for example, ``1'' is corrected to read
``01'':
[cir] Revised to read ``01'': NA0337, UN0173, UN0174, UN0193,

Section 172.102
Section 172.102 sets forth the text of the special provisions
referenced in the HMT. PHMSA revised special provision

[[Page 65463]]

16 in the HM-219 final rule to read: ``This description applies to
smokeless powder and other propellant powders that are used as powder
for small arms and have been classed as Division 1.3C and 1.4C and
reclassed to Division 4.1 in accordance with Sec. 173.56 and Sec.
173.58 of this subchapter.'' By making this revision, we intended to
clearly indicate that only smokeless powder or propellant in powder
form may qualify for reclassification into Division 4.1, and ensure
that powders that have hazard properties different from ``propellants''
could not be reclassified into Division 4.1. In response to SAAMI's
appeal to HM-219, in this final rule we are revising special provision
16 to read: ``This description applies to smokeless powder and other
solid propellants that are used as powder for small arms and have been
classed as Division 1.3C, 1.4C and Division 4.1 in accordance with
Sec. 173.56 of this subchapter.''
Section 172.202
This section establishes requirements for shipping descriptions on
shipping papers. As part of the shipping description requirements, in
many situations a net quantity or gross mass of the hazardous materials
transported must be shown. In the January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215L)
we revised Sec. 172.202 by adding a new paragraph (a)(6)(vii) to
harmonize with the ICAO TI as to whether, for limited quantities, the
net quantity or gross mass is required to be shown on the shipping
document, including when different hazardous materials are packed
together in the same outer packaging. In the final rule, we associated
this requirement with Column (9) of the HMT. After receiving several
comments, and upon further review, in this final rule we are revising
Sec. 172.202(a)(6)(vii) to associate this requirement for limited
quantities with column 4 of the Sec. 173.27 Table 3, as this is a
better alignment with the ICAO TI. Specifically, we are revising
paragraph (a)(6)(vii) to state that for hazardous materials in limited
quantities, the total net quantity per package must be shown unless a
gross mass is indicated in column 4 of Sec. 173.27 Table 3, in which
case the total gross mass per package must be shown. Where different
hazardous materials in limited quantities are packed together in the
same outer packaging, when a gross mass is indicated column 4 of the
Sec. 173.27 Table 3, the net quantity of each hazardous material must
be shown in addition to the gross mass of the completed package.
Section 172.301
Section 172.301 prescribes the general marking requirements for
non-bulk packagings. In the HM-215L final rule, Sec. 172.301(a)(1)(i)
was amended with a minor grammatical error stating ``paragraph this''
instead of ``this paragraph.'' In this final rule, we are correcting
this grammatical error.
Section 172.315
Section 172.315 prescribes the requirements applicable to marking
packages of limited quantity material. In the section-by-section review
in the January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215K) we stated our intent to
authorize continued use of the alternative limited quantity marking
(i.e., square-on-point and Identification Number) prescribed in Sec.
172.315(d), in effect on October 1, 2010, until December 31, 2015.
However, an incorrect date was published in the regulatory text. In
this document, we are authorizing use of the alternative limited
quantity marking prescribed in Sec. 172.315(d) until December 31,
2015.
Section 172.316
Section 172.316 prescribes the marking requirements for packages of
ORM-D material. In this final rule, we are revising paragraph (a) for
clarity as the reclassification to ORM-D-AIR is no longer authorized as
of January 1, 2013.
Section 172.336
Section 172.336 sets forth exceptions to the identification number
marking requirements on various tanks. In the HM-219 final rule, we
removed references to Gasohol in Sec. 172.336 and established a table
to better indicate where identification marks should be displayed on
each tank type. In so doing, we identified that the requirements for
nurse tanks were unclear. In this final rule, we are clarifying the
identification number marking requirements for nurse tanks to state
that they are not required on one end of nurse tanks if that end
contains valves, fittings, regulators or gauges when those
appurtenances prevent the markings and placard from being properly
placed and visible as set forth in Sec. 173.315(m).

Part 173

Section 173.6
Section 173.6 prescribes exceptions from certain requirements of
the HMR for the transportation of hazardous materials defined as
materials of trade (MOTS) when transported by motor vehicle. In the
January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215K), we adopted revisions to the
paragraph (d) exceptions that reflect the phase-out of the ORM-D system
on December 31, 2020, and applied the exception provided ORM-D material
to hazardous materials authorized for transportation as a limited
quantity under Subparts C through E and Subpart G of Part 173 of the
HMR. We are removing, in response to public comment received subsequent
to the issuance of the January 7, 2013 final rule (HM-215K), the
reference to limited quantities prepared in accordance with Sec.
173.27 in Sec. 173.6(a)(6). MOTS is a highway-transport-only
exception.
Section 173.22
Section 173.22 prescribes various shipper responsibilities. In this
final rule, the word ``filed'' in the last sentence of paragraph
(a)(4)(ii) is corrected to read ``filled.'' Additionally, paragraph
(a)(4)(iii) is revised for clarity by specifying the duration of record
retention for compliance with Selective Testing Variation 1 as
prescribed in Sec. 178.601(g)(1).
Section 173.24
Section 173.24 prescribes the general requirements for packagings
and packages. In this final rule, we are revising paragraph (i) for
editorial purposes. Currently, except as provided in Subpart C of part
171 of this Subchapter, packages offered or intended for transportation
by aircraft must conform to the general requirements for transportation
by aircraft in Sec. 173.27. This would include packages of consumer
commodities prepared in accordance with Sec. 173.167. This was never
intended to be the case as the requirements of Sec. 173.167 are meant
to be stand-alone as they are in Packing Instruction Y963 of the ICAO
TI.
Section 173.25
Section 173.25 prescribes requirements for the transportation of
authorized packages in overpacks used for protection or convenience of
handling or to consolidate packages. In this final rule, paragraphs
(a)(6) and (a)(7) are revised by removing the italicized font in each
heading for consistency within the section and adding an em dash after
each heading.
Section 173.27
Section 173.27 prescribes the general requirements for
transportation by aircraft. In this final rule, we are revising the
Class 8 list of articles and substances not authorized limited quantity
status in paragraph (f)(2)(i)(F) by adding Identification Number

[[Page 65464]]

UN3506 (Mercury in manufactured articles). In the HM-215L rulemaking,
we inadvertently overlooked this new international entry and failed to
add it to the list of ineligible substances and articles not authorized
as limited quantities consistent with the 2013-2014 ICAO TI.
Additionally, in Table 3 of paragraph (f)(3), we are correcting the
Class 9 liquid and solid entries to include the identification numbers
``UN3334'' and ``UN3335'' in the second and third columns of the table.
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 prescribes the specific packaging requirements for
explosives. In final rule published on January 7, 2013 (HM-215L), we
revised 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 provided greater flexibility when
packaging explosives while retaining an appropriate level of safety.
These changes included, but were 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. We revised Sec. 173.62(c), Table of Packing Methods,
packing instruction 130, to include additional options for outer
packagings. Specifically, the use of boxes and drums constructed of
metal other than steel or aluminum (4N) and the use of closed head
drums in addition to the already permitted removable head drums.
In a subsequent final rule published on March 11, 2013, under
Docket No. PHMSA 2011-0138 (HM-218G), entitled ``Hazardous Materials;
Miscellaneous Amendments (RRR),'' we again revised Sec. 173.62(c),
Table of Packing Methods, packing instruction 130 to add the following
language that was inadvertently removed from the first column of the
packing instruction:

2. Subject to approval by the Associate Administrator, large
explosive articles, as part of their operational safety and
suitability tests, subjected to testing that meets the intentions of
Test Series 4 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria with successful
test results, may be offered for transportation in accordance with
the requirements of this subchapter.

When reinstating the removed language in the HM-218G final rule, we
inadvertently removed the additional options for outer packagings
authorized in the packing instruction 130 in the HM-215L final rule. We
did not intend to remove these outer packagings from packing
instruction 130 and unnecessarily limit the transport of large
explosive articles. Therefore, we are correcting Sec. 173.62(c), Table
of Packing Methods, packing instruction 130, to reinstate the
additional options for outer packagings inadvertently removed from the
third column of packing instruction 130.
In addition to the correction to packing instruction 130, the HM-
215L final rule also revised packing instruction 112(b). The outer
packaging authorization was inadvertently changed from ``bags'' to
``boxes.'' As such, we are revising packing instruction 112(b) by
correcting the outer packaging authorization to ``bags.''
Section 173.63
Section 173.63 details packaging exceptions for specific types of
low hazard explosive materials including certain detonators, small arms
ammunition, cartridges power device and detonating cord. We received an
appeal to the HM-215L rulemaking from SAAMI requesting multiple changes
to Sec. 173.63.
SAAMI requested clarifying edits to Sec. 173.63(b) to ensure
provisions in place for ORM-D shipments of ``Cartridges, power device
(used to project fastening devices)'' prior to HM-215L are maintained.
We are amending the introductory text to Sec. Sec. 173.63(b)(1)(i),
(b)(1)(ii), and (b)(1)(iii) to ensure proper use of the modifying
phrase ``used to project fastening devices'' and modifying Sec. Sec.
173.63(b)(1)(iii)(G) and 173.63(b)(2)(v) to ensure ORM-D shipments of
these ``Cartridges, power device (used to project fastening devices)''
when appropriately packaged may utilize the ORM-D exception provided in
Sec. 173.63.
Section 173.144
Section 173.144 defines ``Other Regulated Materials, ORM-D.'' We
are amending the definition to include ``Cartridges, power device (used
to project fastening devices),'' ``Cartridges for tools, blank,'' and
``Cases, cartridge, empty with primer'' as authorized in Sec.
173.63(b)(iii).
Section 173.150
Section 173.150 provides exceptions from the HMR for certain Class
3 flammable liquid material. Specifically, Sec. 173.150(d) provides
exceptions for alcoholic beverages for all modes of transport.
Generally, the HMR is harmonized with the ICAO TI with regard to the
exceptions provided for alcoholic beverages shipped by passenger-
carrying and cargo-only aircraft. However, prior to the publication of
the HM-218G final rule, for cargo-only aircraft, the HMR did not align
with the ICAO TI. This lack of harmonization led to frustration of
shipments of these types of materials in international air transport.
To address this issue, we proposed in the HM-218G NPRM, to revise
the exceptions in Sec. 173.150(d) to harmonize the alcoholic beverages
exception via aircraft with the requirements in the ICAO TI, and to
restructure the exceptions in Sec. 173.150(d) to provide clarity on
the requirements for the transport of alcoholic beverages by each mode
of transport including passenger-carrying and cargo-only aircraft.
We did not receive any negative comments on this proposed change
and one comment suggesting revised regulatory text to promote clarity.
In a subsequent HM-218G final rule, we adopted the revised Sec.
173.150(d)(2) to harmonize the HMR with the ICAO TI for the air
transportation of alcoholic beverages.
Upon further review of the regulatory language adopted in the HM-
218G final rule, we identified an unintended error in need of
correction. Specifically, Sec. Sec. 173.150(d)(2)(ii) and
173.150(d)(2)(iii) use the language ``but less than 70% alcohol by
volume'' when describing the upper limit of the exception. This implies
that beverages containing exactly 70% alcohol by volume would not be
permitted to use this exception. Section 175.10(a)(4)(ii) and in ICAO
TI, Special Provision A9 use the language ``not more than 70 per cent
alcohol by volume'' permitting alcohols containing exactly 70% alcohol
by volume to use the exception. While these two phrases seem similar,
``but less than 70% alcohol by volume'' adopted in the HM-218G final
rule is unintentionally more stringent, and is inconsistent with the
ICAO TI or inconsistent and Sec. 175.10(a)(4)(ii). Therefore, we are
revising Sec. Sec. 173.150(d)(2)(ii) and 173.150(d)(2)(iii) by
replacing the phrase ``but less than 70% alcohol by volume'' with the
phrase ``not more than 70 per cent alcohol by volume.'' This will
ensure consistency within the HMR and harmonize fully the HMR and ICAO
TI with regard to the alcoholic beverages exception.
Section 173.156
Section 173.156 prescribes exceptions for limited quantity and ORM
material. In this final rule, we are correcting an error made to
paragraph (b)(1) in the January 7, 2013 HM-215K final rule. In that
paragraph, we except certain shipments from the limited quantity and

[[Page 65465]]

ORM-D marking requirements of the HMR if they are so marked. This is
incorrect. This rule corrects that inconsistency by allowing them to
remain excepted from the marking provisions as they were prior to the
January 7, 2013 final rule. Additionally, we are removing the redundant
paragraph (b)(2)(vi).
Section 173.165
This section prescribes the requirements for polyester resin kits.
In both January 7, 2013 final rules, HM-215K and HM-215L, revisions
were made to Sec. 173.165 inadvertently resulting in duplicate
paragraphs concerning consumer commodities and omitting the HM-215L
paragraph (c), limited quantities. We are revising Sec. 173.165 by
removing the duplicate paragraph concerning commodities and replacing
paragraph (c) with the limited quantity language from the HM-215L final
rule.
Section 173.167
Section 173.167 prescribes the requirements for consumer
commodities intended for air transportation. In this final rule, we are
revising paragraph (a) for editorial purposes. Currently, except as
provided in Subpart C of Part 171 of this Subchapter, packages offered
or intended for transportation by aircraft must conform to the general
requirements for transportation by aircraft in Sec. 173.27. This would
include packages of consumer commodities prepared in accordance with
Sec. 173.167. This was never intended to be the case. The requirements
of Sec. 173.167 are meant to be stand-alone, as they are in Packing
Instruction Y963 of the ICAO TI.
Section 173.171
Section 173.171 provides exceptions for Smokeless powder for small
arms that has been classed as an explosive and reclassed as a Division
4.1 for domestic transportation by motor vehicle, rail car, vessel, or
cargo-only aircraft, subject to certain conditions. In the HM-219 final
rule, we revised the introductory paragraph of Sec. 173.171 to read:
``Powders that have been classed in Division 1.3 or Division 1.4C may
be reclassed in Division 4.1, for domestic transportation by motor
vehicle, rail car, vessel, or cargo-only aircraft, subject to the
following conditions''; we revised Sec. 173.171(a) to read: ``Powders
that have been approved as Division 1.3C or Division 1.4C may be
reclassed to Division 4.1 in accordance with Sec. Sec. 173.56 and
173.58 of this part''; we revised Sec. 173.171 (c) to read: ``Only
combination packagings with inner packagings not exceeding 3.6 kg (8
pounds) net mass and outer packaging of UN 4G fiberboard boxes meeting
the Packing Group I standards are authorized. Inner packagings must be
arranged and protected so as to prevent simultaneous ignition of the
contents. The complete package must be of the same type that has been
examined as required in Sec. 173.56 of this part''; and we revised
Sec. 173.171(d) to read: ``The net weight of smokeless powder in any
one box (one package) must not exceed 7.3 kg (16 pounds).'' In response
to SAAMI's appeal to HM-219, in this final rule we are revising the
introductory language in Sec. 173.171 to read: ``Smokeless powder for
small arms which has been classed in Division 1.3 or Division 1.4 may
be reclassed in Division 4.1, for domestic transportation by motor
vehicle, rail car, vessel, or cargo-only aircraft, subject to the
following conditions.''
We are also reestablishing Sec. Sec. 173.171(c) and 173.171(d) to
read as they did before the amendments of HM-219 were adopted. As the
revisions to the wording to Sec. 173.171(a) in HM-219 were designed to
provide relief for shippers of smokeless powder, in that they would not
be required to retest powders already classed as Division 1.3C or 1.4C,
we are retaining the wording as shown in the HM-219 final rule for
Sec. 173.171(a).
Section 173.176
This section was added in the January 7, 2013 HM-215L final rule
and prescribes the requirements for capacitors. In the ICAO TI,
capacitors, UN3499, are assigned to Packing Instruction 971 which
provides, ``The capacitor or, when fitted in a module, the module must
be fitted with a metal strap connecting the terminals.'' This
requirement in Packing Instruction 971 differs from the requirement
adopted in Special Provision A186 of the ICAO TI assigned to UN3499
which provides, ``When a capacitor's energy storage capacity is less
than or equal to 10 Wh or when the energy storage capacity of each
capacitor in a module is less than or equal to 10 Wh, the capacitor or
module shall be protected against short circuit or be fitted with a
metal strap connecting the terminals.'' In the January 7, 2013 HM-215L
final rule, in Sec. 173.176, for transportation by air, we
inadvertently considered only the short circuit protection requirement
contained in Packing Instruction 971 and did not account for the
Special Provision A186 short circuit requirement for capacitors or
capacitors in a module with an energy storage capacity less than or
equal to 10 Wh. In their appeals, DGAC and Kilofarad International
brought this inconsistency to our attention. We acknowledge this
oversight and in this final rule we are revising paragraphs (a)(2)(i)
and (a)(2)(ii) of Sec. 173.176 by removing the references to
``transport by air'' to maintain consistency with Special Provision
A186 of the ICAO TI.
Section 173.185
This section prescribes packaging requirements and certain
conditional exceptions for the transport of lithium batteries. As DGAC
correctly pointed out in their appeal, we did not include a grandfather
provision for cells and batteries of a type that meets the 5th revised
edition consistent with previous practice. While this does not change
our intent to continue to permit the continued manufacture and
transportation of lithium cells and batteries of a type meeting the
requirements a previously authorized edition of the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria, we agree this may result in confusion and unnecessary
retesting of previously validated designs. We are revising Sec.
173.185 by clarifying that, irrespective of the January 1, 2006 date in
Sec. 173.185(a)(1), newly manufactured cells and batteries of a type
successfully tested to the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria 3rd edition
amendment 1 or a later edition may be transported without the need for
the cell or battery type to be retested and that cells and batteries
already distributed and tested to a previous edition of the Manual may
continue to be transported.
Section 173.225
Section 173.225 prescribes the packaging requirements and other
provisions for organic peroxides. 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.
In the HM-215L final rule, we made several changes to the Sec.
173.225(c) Organic Peroxide Table. The instruction to the Federal
Register for the revision of Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, UN 3115,
was not clear and the incorrect table entry was modified in error. In
this document we are re-adding Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, UN3112,
to the table and removing the entry for Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate,
UN3115, <=28 Concentration (mass %), >=72 Diluent (mass %) A. For
clarity, we are removing all entries for Diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate
and re-adding in the correct sequence.

[[Page 65466]]

In the HM-215L final rule, we made several changes to the Sec.
173.225(e) Organic Peroxide IBC Table. The instruction to the Federal
Register was not clear for the addition of UN3119 ``Diisobutyryl
peroxide, not more than 28% as a stable dispersion in water'' and
UN3119, ``Diisobutyryl peroxide, not more than 42% as a stable
dispersion in water'' and the entries were incorrectly added under the
UN3109 table entries. The IBC Type ``31A'' was inadvertently removed
from the entry for ``Di-(3, 5, 5-trimethylhexanoyl) peroxide, not more
than 52% in diluent type A''. We are republishing the complete Organic
Peroxide IBC Table to correct the errors provided above and properly
alphabetize the entries.
Section 173.230
Section 173.230 prescribes the transport requirements for fuel cell
cartridges containing hazardous material. In this final rule, we are
revising Sec. 173.230(f)(3) to correct a minor grammatical error by
removing the duplicative instance of the word ``to'', published in the
HM-215L final rule.
Section 173.301b
Section 173.301b provides additional general requirements for
shipment of UN pressure receptacles. We are revising Sec.
173.301b(d)(1) to correct a minor grammatical error in the HM-215L
final rule by replacing a period with a semicolon.

Part 175

Section 175.10
Section 175.10 specifies the conditions for which passengers, crew
members, or an operator may carry hazardous materials aboard an
aircraft. We are correcting several editorial errors published in the
HM-215L final rule. Paragraph (a)(15)(v)(C) is amended to correctly
reference Special Provision 130. In paragraphs (a)(19)(vii) and
(a)(19)(viii) the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
reference standard is corrected. Paragraph (a)(21) is revised to
correct the numbering sequence. Paragraph (a)(24) is amended from 2.8 g
to correctly state ``equivalent to a 28 g carbon dioxide cartridge,''
consistent with the ICAO TI.
Section 175.25
Section 175.25 prescribes the notification that operators must
provide to passengers regarding restrictions on the types of hazardous
material they may or may not carry aboard an aircraft on their person
or in checked or carry-on baggage. The January 19, 2011 HM-215K final
rule revised provisions in Sec. 175.25 applicable to notification and
acknowledgement of the types of hazardous materials that a passenger
may or may not carry aboard an aircraft by updating the ticketing and
flight check-in provisions of the HMR based on current technologies
used to perform such functions.
Subsequent to issuance of the final rule, PHMSA and FAA received
several administrative appeals, and, at an August 16, 2012 public
meeting, received written and oral comments requesting additional time
for affected entities to implement the new provisions in a more
effective and cooperative manner. PHMSA and FAA agreed that a delay in
the compliance date of the revised Sec. 175.25 was warranted,
particularly if a delay supported the implementation of more effective
methods for increasing passenger awareness of, and compliance with, the
HMR. Therefore, PHMSA and FAA provided notification of extending the
compliance date for all new provisions adopted in the January 19, 2011
final rule until January 1, 2015.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraphs (b) and (c) by
removing the first sentence in each paragraph for editorial purposes
and clarity as the two sentences are redundant. Because the
requirements of paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) are not mutually
exclusive, the two sentences are extraneous and not necessary. Lastly,
existing paragraph (c)(2) is redesignated as new paragraph (d) for
clarity.
We want to emphasize these clarifications are for editorial
purposes only and do not impose any new requirements. Further, such
clarifications do not remove or relax any current or future Sec.
175.25 regulatory requirements.
Section 175.75
Section 175.75 prescribes quantity limitation and cargo location
requirements for hazardous materials carried aboard passenger-carrying
and cargo-only aircraft. In this final rule, we are amending the list
of materials that are excepted from the inaccessible loading
restrictions in paragraphs (c), (d), and note 1 of the table in
paragraph (f) to include articles with Identification Numbers UN0012,
UN0014, and UN0055, that are properly prepared under the provisions
prescribed in Sec. 173.63(b). These amendments are in response to an
administrative appeal submitted by SAAMI. In its appeal, SAAMI
requested clarification to ensure that shipments of these three
commodities, properly prepared in accordance with the requirements of
Sec. 173.63(b), are eligible for relief from the loading limits in
Sec. 175.75. It was never our intent to subject these articles that
have historically received relief from the accessibility requirements
of Sec. 175.75 to these requirements. An article with Identification
Numbers UN0012, UN0014, or UN0055, properly packaged and marked in
accordance with Sec. 173.63(b), is excepted from the requirements of
Sec. 175.75(c) and (e)(1) if it is declared on air transport shipping
papers as a limited quantity or not.
In the January 19, 2011 HM-215K final rule, the HMR was amended to
align with international standards by revising the notes to the
paragraph (f) Quantity and Loading Table that excepted certain cargo-
aircraft only packages from the accessible loading restrictions. For
example, Note (a) to Note 1 was revised to except cargo-only flammable
liquids substances of Class 3, Packing Group III from the accessible
loading restrictions unless it was labeled with a corrosive (Class 8)
subsidiary risk. However, Note (b) to Note 1 was not revised by
excepting a cargo-only toxic liquid substance of Division 6.1 from the
accessible loading restrictions unless it was labeled with a subsidiary
risk other than flammable liquid (Class 3). As a result, revised Note
(a) conflicts with existing Note (b). Therefore, in this final rule, we
are revising Note (b) to align with the international standards by
clarifying the accessible loading restrictions prescribed in Sec.
175.75(f) do not apply to a cargo-only toxic liquid substance of
Division 6.1 unless it is labeled with a subsidiary risk other than
flammable liquid (Class 3).

Part 176

Section 176.905
Section 176.905 prescribes specific requirements for motor vehicles
or mechanical equipment powered by internal combustion engines that are
offered for transportation and transported by vessel. In this final
rule, we are correcting a numbering error that occurred in the January
7, 2013 final rule in paragraph (i).

Part 178

Sections 178.601, 178.801 and 178.955
Sections 178.601, 178.801, and 178.955, set forth recordkeeping
requirements for packaging manufacturers, design type testers, and
periodic retesters. In the HM-219 final rule, we revised the language
in Sec. 178.601(l), which specified recordkeeping requirements for
testing non-bulk packaging; Sec. 178.801(l), which

[[Page 65467]]

specified recordkeeping requirements for testing IBCs; and Sec.
178.955(i), which specified recordkeeping requirements for testing
large packagings, to indicate that records must be maintained by the
manufacturer for as long as the packaging is made and two years
thereafter; the person performing the design testing until the next
required periodic retest is successfully performed, a new test report
is produced, and five years thereafter; and the person performing the
periodic retest until the next required periodic retest is successfully
performed and a new test report produced. We received an administrative
appeal from RIPA that indicated that the revisions made in the HM-219
final rule to Sec. Sec. 178.601, 178.801, and 178.955, may be unclear.
In response to that appeal, we are revising the recordkeeping for
design testers to require that the design test is maintained for a
single or composite packaging for six years after the test is
successfully performed and for a combination packaging or packaging
intended for infectious substances for seven years after the test is
successfully performed.

IV. 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 material in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce.
This final rule responds to appeals and corrects various errors made
during the development of the two January 7, 2013, the March 7, 2013,
and the March 11, 2013 final rules and printing process. To this end,
as discussed in detail earlier in this preamble, the two January 7,
2013 final rules amended the HMR to more fully align it with the
biennial updates of the UN Recommendations, the IMDG Code and the ICAO
TI to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international
commerce.
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
responds to appeals and corrects errors made during the development of
the two January 7, 2013, the March 7, 2013, and the March 11, 2013
final rules and printing process and makes amendments to conform to
amendments made in these four final rules.

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. The revisions adopted in this final rule do not alter the
cost-benefit analysis and conclusions contained in the Regulatory
Evaluations in the two January 7, 2013 final rules. The Regulatory
Evaluations are available for review in the public docket.

C. Executive Order 13132

This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This final rule
does not adopt any regulation that: (1) Has substantial direct effects
on the states, the relationship between the national government and the
states, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government; or (2) imposes substantial direct
compliance costs on state and local governments. PHMSA is not aware of
any state, local or Indian tribe requirements that would be preempted
by correcting editorial errors and making minor regulatory changes.
This final rule does not have sufficient federalism impacts to warrant
the preparation of a federalism assessment.

D. Executive Order 13175

This final rule 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. The
corrections and revisions contained in this final rule will have little
or no effect on the regulated industry. Based on the assessment in the
regulatory evaluation, to the two January 7, 2013 final rules, I hereby
certify that, while this rule applies to a substantial number of small
entities, there will not be a significant economic impact on those
small entities. A detailed Regulatory Flexibility analysis is available
for review in the docket.
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
final rules on small entities are properly considered.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act

This final rule imposes no new information collection requirements.

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. In final rules PHMSA-
2009-0126 (HM-

[[Page 65468]]

215K), PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), PHMSA-2011-0138 (HM-218G), and PHMSA-
2011-0142 (HM-219), we developed environmental assessments to determine
the effects of these revisions on the environment and whether they
resulted in significant environmental impacts. These assessments
resulted in a Finding of No Significant Impact. The purpose of this
rulemaking is to correct editorial errors, makes minor regulatory
changes and, in response to requests for clarification, improves the
clarity of certain provisions in the HMR. The intended effect of this
rule is to enhance the accuracy and reduce misunderstandings of the
regulations. The amendments contained in this rule are non-substantive
changes and do not impose new requirements. Therefore, PHMSA has
determined that the implementation of this final rule will not have any
significant impact on the quality of the human environment. For
interested parties, environmental assessments are included in the
PHMSA-2009-0126 (HM-215K), PHMSA-2012-0027 (HM-215L), PHMSA-2011-0138
(HM-218G), and PHMSA-2011-0142 (HM-219) final rules which are available
in the public docket.

J. Privacy Act

Anyone is able to search the electronic form of all comments
received into any of our dockets by the name of the individual
submitting the comments (or signing the comment, if submitted on behalf
of an association, business, labor union, etc.). You may review DOT's
complete Privacy Act Statement in the Federal Register published on
April 11, 2000 (Volume 65, Number 70; Pages 19477-78) which may be
viewed at http://www.dot.gov/privacy.

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 (Pub. L. 96-39), as
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 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.

packaging requirements of subpart B of this part and may not exceed 30
kg (66 pounds) gross weight.
(1) For other than transportation by aircraft, the organic peroxide
component must be packed in inner packagings not over 125 mL (4.22
fluid ounces) net capacity each for liquids or 500 g (17.64 ounces) net
capacity each for solids. For transportation by aircraft, the organic
peroxide component must be packed in inner packagings not over 30 mL
(4.22 fluid ounces) net capacity each for liquids or 100 g (17.64
ounces) net capacity each for solids.
(2) Except for transportation by aircraft, the flammable liquid
component must be packed in inner packagings not over 5 L (1.3 gallons)
net capacity each for a Packing Group II and

[[Page 65482]]

Packing Group III liquid. For transportation by aircraft, the flammable
liquid component must be packed in inner packagings not over 1 L (0.26
gallons) net capacity each for a Packing Group II material. The
flammable liquid component must be packed in metal or plastic inner
packagings not over 5.0 L (1.3 gallons) net capacity each or glass
inner packagings not over 2.5 L (0.66 gallons) net capacity each for a
Packing Group III material.
(3) If the flammable liquid component and the organic peroxide
component will not interact dangerously in the event of leakage, they
may be packed in the same outer packaging.
(4) For transportation by aircraft, the following additional
requirements apply:
(i) Closures on inner packagings containing liquids must be secured
by secondary means as prescribed in Sec. 173.27(d);
(ii) Inner packagings containing liquids must be capable of meeting
the pressure differential requirements prescribed in Sec. 173.27(c);
(iii) The total quantity of activator and base material may not
exceed 1 kg (2.2 lbs) per package for a Packing Group II base material.
The total quantity of activator and base material may not exceed 5 kg
(11 lbs) per package for a Packing Group III base material. The total
quantity of polyester resin kits per package is calculated on a one-to-
one basis (i.e., 1 L equals 1 kg);
(iv) Drop test capability. Fragile inner packagings must be
packaged to prevent failure under conditions normally incident to
transport. Packages of consumer commodities must be capable of
withstanding a 1.2 m drop on solid concrete in the position most likely
to cause damage; and
(v) Stack test capability. Packages of consumer commodities must be
capable of withstanding, without failure or leakage of any inner
packaging and without any significant reduction in effectiveness, a
force applied to the top surface for a duration of 24 hours equivalent
to the total weight of identical packages if stacked to a height of 3.0
m (including the test sample).
(d) Consumer commodities. Until December 31, 2020, a limited
quantity package of polyester resin kits that are also consumer
commodities as defined in Sec. 171.8 of this subchapter may be renamed
``Consumer commodity'' and reclassed as ORM-D or, until December 31,
2012, as ORM-D-AIR material and offered for transportation and
transported in accordance with the applicable provisions of this
subchapter in effect on October 1, 2010.

34. Section 175.25 is revised to read as follows:

Sec. 175.25 Notification at air passenger facilities of hazardous
materials restrictions.

(a) Notices of requirements. Each person who engages in for-hire
air transportation of passengers must display notices of the
requirements applicable to the carriage of hazardous materials aboard
aircraft, and the penalties for failure to comply with those
requirements in accordance with this section. Each notice must be
legible, and be prominently displayed so it can be seen by passengers
in locations where the aircraft operator issues tickets, checks
baggage, and maintains aircraft boarding areas. At a minimum, each
notice must communicate the following information:
(1) Federal law forbids the carriage of hazardous materials aboard
aircraft in your luggage or on your person. A violation can result in
five years' imprisonment and penalties of $250,000 or more (49 U.S.C.
5124). Hazardous materials include explosives, compressed gases,
flammable liquids and solids, oxidizers, poisons, corrosives and
radioactive materials. Examples: Paints, lighter fluid, fireworks, tear
gases, oxygen bottles, and radio-pharmaceuticals.
(2) There are special exceptions for small quantities (up to 70
ounces total) of medicinal and toilet articles carried in your luggage
and certain smoking materials carried on your person. For further
information contact your airline representative.
(b) Ticket purchase. During the ticket purchase process, regardless
if the process is completed remotely (e.g., via the Internet or phone)
or when completed at the airport, with or without assistance from
another person (e.g., automated check-in facility), the aircraft
operator must ensure that information on the types of hazardous
materials a passenger is forbidden to transport aboard an aircraft is
provided to passengers. Information may be in text or in pictorial form
and, effective January 1, 2015, must be such that the final ticket
purchase cannot be completed until the passenger or a person acting on
the passenger's behalf has indicated that it understands the
restrictions on hazardous materials in baggage.
(c) Check-in. Effective January 1, 2015, when the flight check-in
process is conducted remotely (e.g., via the Internet or phone) or when
completed at the airport, without assistance from another person (e.g.,
automated check-in kiosk), the aircraft operator must ensure that
information on the types of hazardous materials a passenger is
forbidden to transport aboard an aircraft is provided to passengers.
Information may be in text or in pictorial form and should be such that
the check in process cannot be completed until the passenger or a
person acting on the passenger's behalf has indicated that it
understands the restrictions on hazardous materials in baggage.
(d) Signage. When the check in process is not conducted remotely
(e.g., at the airport with the assistance of an airline
representative), passenger notification of permitted and forbidden
hazardous materials may be completed through signage (electronic or
otherwise), provided it is legible and prominently displayed.
