Selection of recycling facilities was 

included in the 2000 Congressional 

amendments to section 6(c)(1) of the 

National Maritime Heritage Act 

(NMHA), which directed the Maritime 

Administration to dispose of all obsolete 

vessels ‘‘in the manner that provides the 

best value to the Government’’ (Pub. L. 

106–398, section 3502(a)). In addition, it 

provided subsection (b) Selection of 

Scrapping Facilities, which stated that: 

The Secretary of Transportation may 

recycle obsolete vessels pursuant to Section 

6(c)(1) of the NMHA of 1994 [16 United 

States Code (U.S.C.) 5405(c)(1)] through 

qualified dismantlement facilities, using the 

most expeditious recycling methodology and 

location practicable. Dismantlement facilities 

shall be selected under that section on a best 

value basis consistent with the Federal 

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as in effect on 

the date of the enactment of this Act * * * 

taking into consideration, among other 

things, the ability of facilities to dismantle 

vessels: (1) At least cost to the Government, 

(2) in a timely manner, (3) giving 

consideration to worker safety and the 

environment, and (4) in a manner that 

minimizes the geographic distance that a 

vessel must be towed when towing a vessel 

poses a serious threat to the environment 

(Pub. L. 106–398, section 3502(b), 114 Stat. 

1654a–490 (2000)).

Safety Administration 

[Docket No. PHMSA–2007–28444 (PDA– 

32(R))] 

Maine Department of Environmental 

Protection Requirements on 

Transportation of Cathode Ray Tubes 

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous 

Materials Safety Administration 

(PHMSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of administrative 

determination of preemption. 

Local Laws Affected: Title 06–096, 

Maine Code of Regulations (MCR) 

Chapters 850, 851, 853 & 857 (For 

convenience, provisions in Title 06–096 

MCR are referred to herein simply by 

the Chapter and section number, e.g., 

‘‘MCR 850 section 3(A)’’). 

Applicable Federal Requirements: 

Federal hazardous material 

transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101 et 

seq., and the Hazardous Materials 

Regulations (HMR), 49 CFR parts 171– 

180. Resource Conservation and 

Recovery Act (RCRA), 42 U.S.C. 6901 et 

seq., and 40 CFR Chapter I, subchapter 

I (Solid Wastes). 

Modes Affected: Highway. 

SUMMARY: Federal hazardous material 

transportation law does not preempt 

MDEP’s regulations on classification of 

used cathode ray tubes (‘‘CRTs’’) as 

‘‘universal waste’’ and broken CRTs and 

glass removed from CRTs (‘‘CRT glass’’) 

as a State ‘‘hazardous waste’’ and the 

marking, labeling, shipping 

documentation, and transporter 

requirements, because these 

requirements do not apply or pertain to 

materials regulated under Federal 

hazardous materials transportation law 

and the HMR or otherwise constitute an 

obstacle to accomplishing and carrying 

out Federal hazardous materials 

transportation law and the regulations 

issued under that law.
