The January 19, 2011 final rule amended the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by revising, removing or adding proper shipping names, the hazard class of a material, packing group assignments, special provisions, packaging authorizations, packaging sections, air transport quantity limitations, and vessel stowage requirements. The amendments were necessary to align the HMR with recent revisions to international standards for the transport of hazardous materials by all modes. In this final rule, PHMSA amends the HMR as a result of administrative appeals submitted in response to various amendments adopted in the January 19, 2011 final rule. This document also addresses recent actions taken by the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Dangerous Goods Panel (DGP) regarding certain lithium ion battery-powered mobility aids (e.g., wheelchairs, travel scooters) offered by passengers for air transport and passenger notification of hazardous materials restrictions by operators. Further, this final rule adopts amendments to the HMR as a result of two administrative appeals submitted by an appellant in response to a final rule published February 2, 2010, that revised shipper responsibilities related to packaging design variation, manufacturer notification, and recordkeeping requirements for certain packaging types. 78 FR 1101 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2013-01-07/2012-31242 2012-31242 fr07ja13-13 RIN 2137-AE83 4910-60-P Docket No. PHMSA-2009-0126 (HM-215K) https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2013-01-07/2012-31242 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-01-07/html/2012-31242.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-01-07/pdf/2012-31242.pdf Exports Hazardous Materials Transportation Hazardous Waste Imports Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Education Incorporation by Reference Labeling Markings Packaging and Containers Radioactive Materials Uranium Air Carriers Maritime Carriers Motor Vehicle Safety 18 p. 1101 1118 78 FR 1101 Title 49 Part 171 49 CFR Part 171 Title 49 Part 172 49 CFR Part 172 Title 49 Part 173 49 CFR Part 173 Title 49 Part 175 49 CFR Part 175 Title 49 Part 176 49 CFR Part 176 Title 49 Part 178 49 CFR Part 178 RIN 2137-AE83 Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods: Model Regulations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and the International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air; Federal Register Vol. 78, Issue RULE 2012-31242 II DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 2013-01-01 Docket No. PHMSA-2009-0126 (HM-215K) 4910-60-P 2012-31242 Final rule.
