Hazardous Materials: Adoption of Special Permits (MAP-21) (RRR)

AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), 
DOT.

ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)

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

SUMMARY: As required by the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st 
Century Act (MAP-21), the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 
Administration is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials 
Regulations to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or 
long-standing special permits that have an established safety record. 
The proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the 
regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the 
need for numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and 
facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. 
PHMSA conducted an extensive analysis of all active special permits 
and, in this rulemaking, those special permits deemed suitable are 
being proposed for adoption. PHMSA is inviting all interested persons 
to provide comments on both those special permits deemed suitable and 
proposed to be adopted into the HMR and those that are deemed not 
suitable for adoption. In addition, PHMSA is also requesting comments 
on a proposed requirement for special permit applicants to include 
regulatory text in their applications, when appropriate.

DATES: Comments must be received by March 31, 2015.

I. Executive Summary

    The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) 
is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR 
parts 171-180) by adopting requirements contained in 98 existing 
special permits (SP). This proposal is based on our review of all 
active SPs as of January 1, 2013, in which we identified 98 SPs 
containing requirements which appear suitable for adoption into the HMR 
as regulations of general applicability. Other SPs are not being 
proposed for adoption into the HMR because we concluded they contain 
requirements which (1) would not have, or are being applied in a manner 
which would not have, broad applicability; or (2) have already been 
adopted into the HMR, are covered by authorizations in the HMR, or are 
being addressed in other rulemakings.
    We encourage all interested parties, particularly the holders of 
currently active SPs, to submit comments regarding the SPs we are 
proposing to adopt into the HMR, the SPs we are not presently proposing 
to adopt into the HMR, and our preliminary regulatory impact analysis.

II. Background

    PHMSA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations 
(HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to adopt certain requirements based on 
existing SPs issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B 
(Sec. Sec.  107.101 to 107.127). SPs set forth alternative 
requirements--or a variance--to the requirements in the HMR in a way 
that achieves a safety level at least equal to the safety level 
required under the regulations, or when the regulations do not 
establish a safety level, that is consistent with the public interest. 
Congress expressly authorized the Secretary of Transportation to issue 
these variances in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975 
(49 U.S.C. 5109) as amended.

[[Page 5341]]

    On July 6, 2013 President Obama signed legislation entitled Moving 
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Section 33012 of 
this legislation required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that have 
been in continuous effect for a 10-year period to determine which ones 
may be converted into the HMR.\1\ The legislation also required PHMSA 
to issue regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for 
adoption in a final rule by October 1, 2015. The legislation provides 
the following factors to consider during review and analysis to 
determine suitability for adoption into the HMR:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Although MAP-21 only required PHMSA evaluate SPs that had 
been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, PHMSA reviewed all 
active SPs as of January 1, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    (1) The safety record of the hazardous materials (hazmat) 
transported under the SP;
    (2) The application of a SP;
    (3) The suitability of the provisions in the SP for incorporation 
into the hazmat regulations; and
    (4) Rulemaking activity in related areas.
    Prior to the passing of the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA had completed 
numerous rulemaking actions, through an established and refined 
approach, to convert long-standing SPs with an established safety 
record into the HMR. Following the passage of the MAP-21 legislation, 
PHMSA modified its approach to align with the requirements of this 
legislation. Specifically, PHMSA established terms of reference and 
baseline criteria for the review of long-standing SPs, created tracking 
tools to monitor progress, and adopted a methodology and timeline to 
evaluate SPs.
    This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) provides an overview of 
the SP Program to date, a detailed review of the requirements of MAP-21 
with regard to this initiative, and a comprehensive explanation of the 
rationale used to evaluate these SPs both prior to and after the 
implementation of MAP-21. Furthermore, based on this rationale, this 
NPRM details the SPs that are deemed not suitable for adoption into the 
HMR along with the corresponding reasoning, and proposes the adoption 
into the HMR of SPs that have been deemed suitable through this review. 
The proposals from all the SPs to be adopted have broad applicability, 
fit into the scope of the HMR, will increase flexibility in 
transportation, and provide an equivalent level of safety to the 
current regulations. PHMSA is inviting comments from all interested 
parties, particularly SP holders, on both those SPs deemed suitable and 
proposed to be adopted and those that are deemed not suitable for 
adoption.

III. Overview

A. SPs Program

    PHMSA's Approvals and Permits Division \2\ is responsible for the 
issuance of DOT SPs and Approvals. A SP sets forth alternative 
requirements, or variances, to the requirements in the HMR. Federal 
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5128) authorizes 
PHMSA to issue such variances in a way that achieves a safety level 
that is at least equal to the safety level required under Federal 
hazmat law or is consistent with the public interest if a required 
safety level does not exist. SPs also address unique or infrequent 
transportation situations that would be difficult to accommodate in 
regulations intended for use by a wide range of shippers and carriers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ http://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/permits-approvals/special-permits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SPs are issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B 
(Sec. Sec.  107.101 to 107.127). The HMR are generally performance-
oriented regulations, and as such, provide the regulated community with 
some flexibility in meeting safety requirements. Even so, not every 
transportation situation can be anticipated and covered under the 
regulations. The hazardous materials community is at the cutting edge 
of developing new materials, new technologies, and innovative ways of 
moving hazardous materials. Innovation strengthens our economy, and 
some new technologies and operational techniques may enhance safety. 
Thus, while not compromising safety, SPs provide a mechanism for 
testing new technologies, promoting increased transportation efficiency 
and productivity, and ensuring global competitiveness. In addition, SPs 
enable the hazardous materials industry to safely, quickly, and 
effectively integrate new products and technologies into production and 
the transportation stream.
    PHMSA conducts ongoing reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and 
long-standing SPs with established safety records for conversion into 
regulations of broader applicability. Converting these SPs into 
regulations reduces paperwork burdens for the government and applicants 
and facilitates commerce while maintaining safety. Additionally, 
adoption of SPs as rules of general applicability provides wider access 
to the benefits and regulatory flexibility of the provisions granted in 
the SPs. Factors that influence whether or not a specific SP is a 
candidate for regulatory action include: the safety record for 
hazardous materials transported or operations conducted under a SP; 
potential for broad application of a SP; suitability of the provisions 
in the SP for adoption into the HMR; rulemaking activity in related 
areas; and agency priorities.
    Since the inception of the SP program, PHMSA has periodically 
reviewed SPs and under various rulemaking actions certain widely-used 
or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record have been 
adopted or recently proposed for incorporation into the HMR. For 
example, PHMSA has adopted or proposed 94 SPs into the HMR since 2008. 
These 94 SPs represent a decrease of 13,947 holders of SPs. These 
rulemakings are noted in Table 1.

B. MAP-21 Legislation

    Section 33012 of the MAP-21 legislation modified Sec.  5117 (f) of 
the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law. Specifically, under 
the ``SPs and exclusions'' paragraph (f) was revised to read as 
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ This table represents only published rulemakings since 
January 1, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

``(f) Incorporation into regulations.
    (1) IN GENERAL--Not later than 1 year after the date on which a SP 
has been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, the Secretary shall 
conduct a review and analysis of that SP to determine whether it may be 
converted into the hazardous materials regulations.
    (2) FACTORS--In conducting the review and analysis under paragraph 
(1), the Secretary may consider--
    (A) the safety record for hazardous materials transported under the 
special permit;
    (B) the application of a special permit;
    (C) the suitability of provisions in the special permit for 
incorporation into the hazardous materials regulations; and

[[Page 5343]]

    (D) rulemaking activity in related areas.
    (3) RULEMAKING--After completing the review and analysis under 
paragraph (1) and after providing notice and opportunity for public 
comment, the Secretary shall either institute a rulemaking to 
incorporate the special permit into the hazardous materials regulations 
or publish in the Federal Register the Secretary's justification for 
why the special permit is not appropriate for incorporation into the 
regulations.''
    This modification required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that 
have been in effect for 10 years or more and determine which should be 
converted into regulations; set parameters for the review; and issue 
regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for adoption in 
a final rule by October 1, 2015. Following the publication of the final 
rule, this process would be completed annually to ensure appropriate 
SPs are converted into the HMR on a consistent basis.
    The legislation also required PHMSA to address other issues related 
to the SP and approvals regulations and program processes. 
Specifically, PHMSA is required to issue regulations on standard 
operating procedures to support administration of the SP and approval 
programs. This requirement is being addressed under Docket PHMSA 2012-
0260 (HM-233E) in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published on 
August 12, 2014 [79 FR 47047].

program, the corresponding rulemaking actions, and required completions

C. SP Conversion Project Methodology

    As previously stated, in the past, PHMSA has analyzed, evaluated, 
and adopted SPs into the HMR. In addition, PHMSA had already 
established an approach to adopt SPs into the HMR. However, the 
requirements contained in MAP-21 necessitated that PHMSA modify and 
formalize this approach. This section describes the SP Conversion 
Project (SPCP) and the methodology used to satisfy the requirements of 
MAP-21.
    The following table summarizes the different phases of the SPCP. 
Specifically, this table briefly discusses the efforts of each phase 
and the timeframe in which it was completed. Furthermore, this table 
demonstrates how the entire project was divided into the two primary 
stages of analysis and rulemaking. Each phase of the SPCP is described 
in Table 3.

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

Phase 1: Development of Methodology
    As stated above, prior to the publication of MAP-21, PHMSA 
conducted reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and long-standing SPs 
with an established safety record for conversion into the HMR for 
broader applicability. The SPs suitable for adoption were predominantly 
identified by two methods: petitions for rulemaking submitted in 
accordance with Sec.  106.105; and through a review of the SP 
application by the Approvals and Permits Division staff at the time of 
application. Specifically, during the evaluation of a SP application, 
the specialist reviewing the application could ``tag'' a SP as a future 
candidate for adoption into the regulations. At a later date after a 
positive safety record had been established, the SP would be proposed 
for adoption in a future rulemaking. This method to adopt SPs, however, 
was not conducted on a defined and predictable schedule.
    After President Obama signed the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA modified 
its SP conversion practices and developed an overall strategy to 
specifically address the aspects of the requirements of MAP-21 that 
were not reflected in current procedures. In an effort to address the 
specific requirements for SP conversion, PHMSA's Standards and 
Rulemaking Division created a SPCP management team. This SPCP 
management team developed a methodology to consistently evaluate SPs, a 
system to track the analysis, created rulemaking sub-teams, topics and 
sub-topic areas to combine similar SPs to be reviewed by the 
appropriate subject matter experts (SME) and teams, and established 
timelines and milestones.
    As MAP-21 included specific deadlines for the various aspects of 
the SPCP, PHMSA created an overall project timeline. This timeline was 
established by utilizing the Standards and Rulemaking Division's 
knowledge of the current rulemaking process and working backwards from 
the deadlines required by MAP-21. The timeline was divided into two 
main parts; analysis (Phases 1-4) and rulemaking drafting and 
coordination (Phases 5-8). Each of these portions of the timeline 
included specific deliverables.
    Each SP being analyzed was assigned to one of 6 topic areas. These 
topic areas were established to reflect the main utility and purpose of 
the SP. These topic areas of the SPs, an overview of each topic area, 
and the affected number of SP holders are displayed in Table 4.

    These topic areas were then used to develop teams to address each 
grouping of SPs. Each topic area was further broken down into sub-topic 
areas which reflected the specific area of transportation that the SP 
affected. These sub-topic areas included manufacturing, retest, and 
use. Breaking down the SPs into topics and sub-topics ensured that the 
appropriate SMEs would be reviewing SPs and allowed for more efficient 
delegation of the workload.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ For the purposes of this rulemaking Non-Destructive Testing 
(NDT) includes Ultrasonic Examination (UE) and Acoustic Emission 
(AE).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As mentioned above, teams were established based on topic areas to 
handle Phase 3 (Team Analysis) and Phase 4 (Drafting) of the SPCP. 
Teams were comprised of the appropriate SMEs from the Standards and 
Rulemaking Division, the Engineering and Research Division, the 
Approvals and Permits Division, Field Operations, the Program 
Development Division, the Office of Chief Counsel and our modal 
partners, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States 
Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the 
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). In addition, each 
team was assigned a team lead and a team mentor from the SPCP 
Management team. The teams met on a frequent basis throughout Phase 3 
and Phase 4 to discuss progress on their assignments and to pinpoint 
and resolve issues with the SP conversion.
    Throughout every phase of the SPCP, the status of all currently 
active SPs was tracked in a database designed specifically for this 
project. This database detailed the specialist and team assigned to the 
review of the SP, the current status of the SP and the code \5\ it was 
assigned following completion of the review. This database also tracked 
the completion of the drafting of regulatory text for any given SP and 
provided a brief summary of the SP. In addition, the SPCP Management 
team closely monitored timelines and milestones in a database 
specifically tailored to the SPCP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ Each SP was assigned a code that represented a rationale for 
the SP being suitable or not suitable for adoption into the HMR. 
These codes were based on PHMSA's factors for suitability combined 
with the rationales provided in MAP-21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phase 2: Preliminary Analysis
    MAP-21 specifically mandated PHMSA issue regulations to adopt into 
the HMR any SPs that had been in continuous effect for a 10-year period 
and that PHMSA determined through its analysis are appropriate for 
adoption based on the review factors. While MAP-21 limited this 
analysis and review to SPs with a lifespan of greater than 10 years, 
PHMSA decided that an initial review of all active SPs would provide a 
greater benefit. A complete review of all SPs was conducted because 
many of the SPs are interconnected and interrelated. For example, some 
SPs are very similar with only minor differences between them and the 
inclusion of one SP may justify the inclusion of other similar SPs. In 
addition, PHMSA did not want to automatically disqualify a SP from 
consideration just because the SP was not in effect for 10 years. A SP 
may be extensively used and have an established history of safe use 
even if it is less than 10 years old. As MAP-21 also requires the 
periodic review of SPs over 10 years of age, PHMSA rationalized that a 
larger initial review would considerably streamline and limit the 
number of SPs to be evaluated in future reviews.
    In January 2013, PHMSA began a systematic review of 1,168 existing 
SPs utilizing the criteria required by the MAP-21 legislation to 
determine suitability for adoption into the HMR. Transportation 
Regulations Specialists within the Standards and Rulemaking Division 
were assigned groupings of SPs. Each specialist was given instructions 
on how to uniformly and consistently review a SP. For the groups of SPs 
assigned, each specialist was instructed to:
    <bullet> Provide a brief summary of each SP;
    <bullet> Identify the key/other regulatory sections of the HMR 
affected;
    <bullet> Make a determination on the suitability for adoption 
(Guidance was provided on assigning each SP a code relating to its 
suitability. These codes are discussed in further detail later in this 
document);
    <bullet> Assign the SP to a topic area;
    <bullet> Provide rationale for their findings; and
    <bullet> Account for any recordkeeping issue that they faced.
    Specialists then reviewed the SPs and, based on the guidance 
developed by the SPCP management team, they made a determination of 
which code the SP would be assigned (See Table 5). If specialists had 
doubts or concerns about any particular SP, they would assign a 
proposed code and flag the SP in the tracking database for second level 
mentor review in Phase 3.
    In April 2013, the preliminary analysis was completed with roughly 
300 SPs deemed suitable for adoption. In addition, approximately 185 
SPs were flagged for second level review by the SPCP management team in 
Phase 3.

[[Page 5346]]

Phase 3: Mentor Review: Review of SPs Flagged and Not Suitable
    From April through May 2013, the rulemaking mentors for each topic 
team conducted a second review of all SPs deemed not suitable for 
adopting into the HMR (roughly 690 SPs) and those tagged for further 
review in the Phase 2 review (185 SPs). Specifically, the mentors 
divided the SPs in need of further review among themselves, evaluated 
each permit against the requirements of MAP-21, and made a 
determination on the SP when possible. If the mentors were unable to 
make a determination, the SP remained flagged and the SP topic team 
would make a group determination in Phase 4.
Phase 4: Team Analysis
    PHMSA then utilized six rulemaking teams, one for each topic area. 
As previously stated, each team was composed of a team leader, mentor, 
and team members from each PHMSA Division and our modal partners (FAA, 
USCG, FRA and FMCSA). Team leaders were tasked with the overall 
completion of the topic and the distribution of work assignments. 
Mentors were charged with reviewing the teams' data, and providing 
edits to ensure the 6 topics were cohesive and would form a complete 
and understandable NPRM. The team leaders and mentors of each topic 
area were members of the Standards and Rulemaking Division. Each topic 
area was handled as if it were its own rulemaking project.
    While each team leader approached the team analysis phase in their 
own manner, the team members were utilized consistently throughout the 
SPCP, regardless of project. For example, modal partners focused on 
aspects of proposed SPs specific to their mode of transportation or 
aspects of SPs that could have wider implications in their mode. Team 
members from the Standards and Rulemaking Division primarily drafted 
the regulatory text and rulemaking preamble language. The Engineering 
and Research Division focused primarily on the technical aspects of 
each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory text, and the 
technical implications of the introduction of new technologies that a 
SP may provide. The Approvals and Permits Division focused primarily on 
the history of each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory 
text and the suitability determinations of the SPs. PHMSA Field 
Operations provided a review of enforcement actions of the SPs that 
were deemed suitable and assisted in the incident data research of each 
SP. The Program Development Division assisted in the review of the 
incident data research of the SPs and the evaluation of the cost and 
benefit data for the SPs that were deemed suitable. Finally, the Office 
of Chief Counsel primarily dealt with the editing of regulatory text 
and rulemaking preamble language as well as providing assistance in 
completing the regulatory analysis.
    Each topic team tracked its status in a database, specifically 
noting when regulatory text was completed. The teams also used this 
database to record information to be included in the preamble 
explanations for each SP. For the SPCP, all draft regulatory text was 
completed in September 2013, at which point the team mentors provided 
edits and worked with each team to formulate a final version of each 
topic. In addition, each team provided a completed document containing 
lists of all suitable SPs, all non-suitable SPs, and the assigned codes 
to explain why the non-suitable SPs would not be included.
Phase 5-8: Rulemaking: Drafting, Consolidation, Coordination, and 
Publication
    As the final phase, PHMSA consolidated its analyses and 
conclusions, evaluated compliance with statutory requirements and 
governmental policies and procedures applicable to the regulatory 
process, and prepared this NPRM to address each topic area. These 
requirements include Executive Orders, Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) Bulletins, DOT orders and procedures, the Administrative 
Procedures Act, and others. PHMSA uses a common process to identify, 
develop, track, prioritize, and implement regulatory changes in line 
with applicable DOT and Federal government policies and procedures. The 
Standards and Rulemaking Division has a Standard Operating Procedure 
(SOP) in place which is intended to outline and serve as a reference 
for persons engaged in the regulatory process and to ensure that all 
applicable requirements are met. This rulemaking was completed, as with 
all rulemakings, using this SOP.
    For this rulemaking, due to the comprehensive nature of the 
project, it was broken down into topics with teams assigned to each 
topic. Each topic area was then handled as if it were its own 
rulemaking project. While Phases 1-4 represented the analysis portion 
of this project, Phases 5-8 encompassed the rulemaking portion. 
Following the completion of the team analysis in Phase 4, team mentors 
edited and compiled the topics into one master document.
Future Reviews
    As required by MAP-21, PHMSA plans to conduct annual reviews of SPs 
which have been in effect for more than 10 years. These reviews and 
analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and tools as those used 
in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and review will 
be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be evaluated and the 
experience gained through this evaluation.
    In addition, PHMSA is considering modifications to the manner in 
which it writes new SPs in order to more accurately reflect how the HMR 
is written. In this NPRM, PHMSA is requesting comments as it considers 
a future proposal to require an applicant to provide potential 
regulatory text when submitting an application for a SP in order to 
facilitate adoption of SPs into the HMR.

D. Petitions for Rulemaking

    PHMSA also considered several petitions for rulemaking submitted in 
accordance with Sec.  106.105 that may impact SPs reviewed in this 
rulemaking. These petitions are discussed below.
P-1607
    The Council on the Safe Transportation of Hazardous Articles 
(COSTHA) submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1607 to adopt the 
provisions of DOT SP-11458 that authorizes display packs of consumer 
commodity packages that exceed the 30 kg gross weight limitation. This 
petition has been accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this 
rulemaking. See the discussions in Sec. Sec.  171.8 and 173.56 under 
the ``Operational Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other'' heading of this 
rulemaking.
P-1608
    The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) submitted a 
petition for rulemaking under P-1608 to adopt the provisions of DOT SP-
11903 into the HMR. This petition requests that PHMSA propose to adopt 
standards for the construction and use of Fiber Reinforced Plastic 
(FRP) Cargo Tanks. Currently, these tanks are constructed under DOT-SP 
11903 and used under party status in DOT SP-9166. In addition to DOT 
SP-11903 and DOT SP-9166, there are other SPs that address these 
standards. PHMSA is not proposing to adopt these SPs at this time as 
there is not a uniform standard for FRP Cargo Tanks ready for adoption. 
However, PHMSA is working to develop a uniform standard for FRP cargo 
tanks and will address this issue in a future rulemaking.

[[Page 5347]]

P-1610
    COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1610 to adopt 
the provisions of DOT-SP 11110 into the HMR. This SP authorizes cargo 
aircraft operators to load division 1.4S and Class 8, PG III materials 
in inaccessible cargo locations in excess of the limitations specified 
in Sec.  175.75(c). This petition has been accepted by PHMSA for 
consideration in a future rulemaking. However, at this time PHMSA is 
not proposing to adopt this SP because of concern that more time is 
needed to research the potential impact of changes to Sec.  175.75 and 
to coordinate this review with the appropriate parties, including our 
modal partners.
P-1611
    COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1611 to adopt 
the provisions of DOT-SP 11470 into the HMR. This SP authorizes the 
transportation in commerce of shrink-wrapped pallets containing boxes 
of waste ORM-D materials with the word ``WASTE'' marked on the outside 
of the pallet instead of the individual box. This petition has been 
accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this rulemaking. See the 
discussion in Sec.  173.12 under the ``Operational Highway/Rail/
Shipper/Other'' heading of this rulemaking.

E. SP Evaluation Results

    PHMSA is committed to the SP adoption process established by 
Congress in MAP-21. To ensure that the changes made under this action 
are as efficient and effective as possible, PHMSA solicits input from 
its stakeholders. We have used several tables throughout this 
rulemaking to clearly identify SPs that are suitable for adoption and 
those that have been deemed not suitable. As required by MAP-21 the 
initial review and analysis of SPs considered the following factors:
    <bullet> The safety record of hazardous materials transported under 
the SP;
    <bullet> The application of a SP;
    <bullet> The suitability of provisions in the SP for adoption into 
the HMR; and
    <bullet> Rulemaking activity in related areas.
    Based on these factors, the SPCP team developed and assigned codes 
to each SP being reviewed. These codes represent the rationale for 
adopting or not adopting a SP into the regulations. Table 5 explains 
each code.

Evaluation Summary
    After completion of the evaluation segment of the SPCP, PHMSA 
identified 98 currently-active SPs that were suitable to be proposed 
for adoption in this rulemaking action. The SPCP evaluated 1,168 
permits that represented 3,691 holders of SPs that were active on 
January 1, 2013. The adoption of these 98 SPs would impact 728 SP 
holders, as shown in Table 6. If the SPs proposed for adoption into the 
HMR in this rulemaking were to be adopted in a final rule, there would 
be an approximate 8% reduction in the number of SPs and approximate 20% 
reduction in the number of holders of SPs. PHMSA anticipates the final 
number of SPs adopted in the final rule may vary from this original 
number based on input from public comments received in response to this 
rulemaking and ongoing SP activity.

    When combined with previous regulatory efforts to adopt SPs into 
the HMR, the impact is increased to 192 total SPs adopted since 2008, 
affecting 14,675 holders of SPs, as shown in Table 7.

    After this initial review of all SPs, PHMSA plans to annually 
review SPs that have been in effect for more than 10 years. PHMSA's 
ongoing review and analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and 
tools as in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and 
review will be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be 
evaluated and the experience gained through this evaluation.
Suitable for Adoption
    The analysis phase of the SPCP identified 98 SPs (728 holders of 
SPs) that were deemed suitable for adoption. Table 8 summarizes the SPs 
deemed suitable, their assigned topic area, a summary of the permit, 
and the number of holders of SPs. All suitable SPs were deemed to be 
Code 1.

IV. Section-by-Section Review by Topic Area

A. Cylinders--General

Part 172
172.102 Special Provisions
    Section 172.102 lists special provisions applicable to the 
transportation of specific hazardous materials. Special provisions 
contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions applicable 
to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. Non-bulk 
packagings must be marked with the United Nations (UN) identification 
number and proper shipping name, and bear labels communicating the 
hazard of the material contained in the package. DOT-SP 13544 
authorizes the transportation in commerce of Department of 
Transportation (DOT) Specification 4BA240 cylinders containing 
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane and/or residue of LPG or 
propane without hazard warnings provided the materials are transported 
in a closed and placarded transport vehicle. This SP supports the 
propane cylinder exchange programs that accept expended cylinders in 
exchange for full cylinders. Cylinders collected during the course of 
these programs may not always bear the appropriate hazard warning 
markings and labels as required by the HMR. DOT-SP 13544 imposes 
certain operational controls to ensure appropriate hazard 
communication, driver training, and appropriate securement of the 
cylinder on the transport vehicle. PHMSA proposes to add a special 
provision, ``N95'' to allow non-bulk packagings containing UN1075, 
Liquefied petroleum gas and UN1978, Propane not to be marked with the 
UN number and proper shipping name or bear hazard labels provided 
certain restrictions are met.
Section 172.400a
    The HMR provide exceptions or alternatives to the labeling 
requirements under specific circumstances. One such alternative permits 
the use of a neckring marking, under certain conditions, in accordance 
with the CGA publication C-7, Guide to Preparation of Precautionary 
Labeling and Marking of Compressed Gas Containers, Appendix A, 8th 
Edition (2004). Section 172.400a permits the use a CGA Pamphlet C-7 
marking in lieu of the 100 mm x 100 mm square-on-point labels on a 
Dewar flask meeting the requirements in Sec.  173.320 and cylinders 
containing Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 materials that are not 
overpacked.
    DOT-SP 14251 authorizes the transportation in commerce of 
overpacked cylinders, containing Class 2 materials, with CGA C-7 
neckring labels provided the overpack is labeled in accordance with 
Sec.  172.400. Additionally, the CGA petitioned PHMSA (P-1521) to allow 
cylinders to display the neckring marking even when overpacked. The 
petition would still require the overpack to display the 100 mm x 100 
mm square-on-point labels in accordance with 49 CFR part 172, subpart 
E. The marking prescribed in Appendix A to CGA publication C-7, Guide 
to Preparation of Precautionary Labeling and Marking of Compressed Gas 
Containers, Appendix A, 8th Edition (2004) provides useful information 
in a clear and consistent manner and its widespread use on cylinders 
over the course of several years has enhanced its recognition. The 
adoption of DOT-SP 14251 and CGA's proposed change would provide 
greater flexibility for shipments of overpacked cylinders while 
ensuring adequate hazard communication. Therefore, PHMSA is proposing 
to revise this section to authorize the transportation in commerce of 
overpacked cylinders, containing Class 2 materials, with CGA C-7 
neckring labels and to allow these cylinders to display the neckring 
marking even when overpacked provided the overpacks are properly 
labeled.
Part 173
Section 173.181
    Section 173.181 specifies the authorized packagings for the 
shipment of pyrophoric materials (liquids) in transportation. DOT-SP 
14419 authorizes the additional use of DOT specification 3AL cylinders 
constructed from aluminum alloy 6061-T6 for the shipment of pyrophoric 
liquids provided the cylinders are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum, 
have a minimum marked service pressure of 1800 psig, have a maximum 
water capacity of 49 liters, and any preheating or heating of the 
cylinders is limited to a maximum temperature of 175[emsp14][deg]F. 
PHMSA proposes to revise this section to allow for the use of DOT 
specification 3AL cylinders constructed from aluminum alloy 6061-T6, 
with the same specified limitations for the shipment of pyrophoric 
materials.
Section 173.193
    Section 173.193(b) states that ``Bromoacetone, methyl bromide, 
chloropicrin and methyl bromide mixtures, chloropicrin and methyl 
chloride mixtures, and chloropicrin mixtures charged with non-
flammable, non-liquefied compressed gas must be packed in Specification 
3A, 3AA, 3B, 3C, 3E, 4A, 4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4C cylinders having not over 
113 kg (250 pounds) water capacity (nominal).'' DOT-SP 12301 authorizes 
the transportation in commerce of Chloropicrin and methyl bromide 
mixtures in DOT4BW cylinders with water capacity (nominal) not over 454 
kg (1,000 pounds). PHMSA proposes to revise Sec.  173.193(b) to allow 
for a water capacity of not over 454 kg (1,000 pounds) for chloropicrin 
and methyl

[[Page 5413]]

bromide mixtures packed in DOT specification 4BW cylinders.
Section 173.301
    This section outlines the general requirements for the use of 
cylinders including a list of authorized cylinders, general filling 
requirements, valve protection, and pressure relief device 
requirements. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes revisions that would amend 
the pressure relief device requirements and permit the use of valve 
caps made from a material other than metal.
    PHMSA proposes to authorize the transportation in commerce of DOT 
specification 39 cylinders without a pressure relief device valve being 
in communication with the vapor space. With limited exceptions, Sec.  
173.301(f) requires a cylinder filled with a compressed gas to be 
fitted with a pressure relief device. Section 173.301(f)(2) states that 
``a pressure relief device, when installed, must be in communication 
with the vapor space of a cylinder containing a Division 2.1 (flammable 
gas) material.'' DOT-SP 13318 authorizes the transportation in commerce 
of DOT specification 39 cylinders of 75 cubic inches or less volume, 
without the PRD in direct communication with the vapor space. PHMSA 
proposes to amend paragraph (f)(2) to state that this provision does 
not apply to cylinders of 75 cubic inches or less in volume filled with 
a liquefied petroleum gas, methyl acetylene and propadiene mixtures, 
stabilized, propylene, propane or butane. This SP was originally issued 
in 2003 subsequent to the publication of HM-220D [67 FR 51625; August 
8, 2002] which instituted the requirement that the PRD be in 
communication with the vapor space, and continues to allow a shipping 
practice that prior to 2003 has been successfully used with an 
acceptable safety record.
    PHMSA proposes to create an additional exception to pressure relief 
device requirements for DOT-3E cylinders under certain limited 
circumstances. DOT-SP 8074 provides an exception from the pressure 
relief device requirements for a DOT specification 3E cylinder up to 12 
inches long and 2 inches in diameter when filled with the following 
gases up to the specified limits: Carbon dioxide, liquefied 0.24L (8 
oz.), Ethane 0.12L (4oz.), Ethylene (4 oz.), Hydrogen chloride, 
anhydrous 0.24L (8 oz.), Nitrous oxide 0.24L (8 oz.), Vinyl fluoride, 
stabilized 0.24L (8 oz.) and Monochlorotrifluoromethane 0.35L (12 oz.). 
PHMSA proposes to add a new paragraph Sec.  173.301(f)(7) to authorize 
DOT 3E cylinders of this size and containing these gasses to be shipped 
without a pressure relief device provided they are under the provided 
maximum weight limits.
    Finally, PHMSA also proposes to authorize the use of valve 
protection caps that are made from a material other than metal. 
Compressed gas cylinders must meet certain valve protection 
requirements outlined in Sec. Sec.  173.40(d) and 173.301(h). Each 
cylinder with a valve must have a protective metal cap, other valve 
protection device, or an overpack which is sufficient to protect the 
valve from damage during transportation. For Division 2.3 or 6.1 Hazard 
Zone A or B materials, the valve protection must be of sufficient 
strength to protect the valve from breakage and leakage resulting from 
a drop of 2.0 m (7 ft) or more onto a non-yielding surface at the 
orientation most likely to cause damage. DOT-SP 12782 authorizes 
plastic valve protection caps for certain Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 
materials when the valve protection is sufficient to prevent leakage 
when the cylinder, with the valve installed, is dropped from 2.0 m (7 
ft) or more onto a non-yielding floor, impacting the valve assembly or 
cap at the orientation most likely to cause damage. In this NPRM, PHMSA 
proposes to amend Sec. Sec.  173.40(d) and 173.301(h) to allow for the 
valve protection, including the valve cap, to be made from plastic. 
PHMSA is not proposing any changes to Sec.  173.301b(c) because ISO 
11117 permits valve caps made of materials other than metal.
Section 173.302a
    Sections 173.302, 173.302a, 173.304 and 173.304a prescribe 
additional requirements for the transport of non-liquefied (permanent) 
and liquefied compressed gases in DOT specification cylinders. These 
requirements include authorized cylinders and filling limits. Section 
173.302a(b) states that a DOT 3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, and 3T cylinder may 
be filled with a compressed gas, other than a liquefied, dissolved, 
Division 2.1, or Division 2.3 gas, to a pressure 10% in excess of its 
marked service pressure, subject to certain safety criteria. DOT-SP 
6530 authorizes the transport in commerce of hydrogen and mixtures of 
hydrogen with helium, argon, or nitrogen, in certain cylinders filled 
to 110% of their marked service pressure. PHMSA proposes to add a new 
paragraph (c) to include this exception and to remark the other 
paragraphs in this section to reflect this addition. This SP was 
originally issued over 40 years ago.
Section 173.304a
    In Sec.  173.304a(a)(2), a table provides the maximum filling 
densities and permissible cylinder types for certain named gases. 
Currently, Sec.  173.304a(a)(2) permits a maximum filling density of 
68% for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in DOT 3, DOT 3HT2000 and DOT 
39 cylinders as well as DOT 3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, 3E, 3T, and 3AL 
cylinders with a marked service pressure of 1800 psi. PHMSA proposes to 
modify the entries currently in the table in Sec.  173.304a(a)(2) to 
add additional filling densities for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
    DOT-SP 13599 authorizes additional maximum filling densities for 
carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide to include 70.3%, 73.2%, and 74.5% in 
DOT 3A, 3AA, 3AX, 3AAX, 3AL, and 3T cylinders with marked service 
pressures of 2000, 2265, and 2400, psig respectively, subject to 
operational controls. Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (Air Products) 
submitted a petition for rulemaking (P-1560) requesting PHMSA revise 
Sec.  173.304a(a)(2) to adopt the provisions of DOT-SP 13599. Air 
Products stated in its petition that the proposed increase in the 
maximum permitted filling densities would yield various benefits 
including increased harmonization of compressed gas filling 
requirements with the UN Model Regulations, benefits to the carbonated 
beverage industry, decreased fuel costs associated with the 
transportation and delivery of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, and 
reduced administrative costs through the elimination of DOT-SP 13599. 
PHMSA has a high degree of confidence that the increased filling 
densities for these gases will not adversely impact safety. While 
determining if DOT-SP 13599 was suitable for inclusion in this 
rulemaking, PHMSA's technical evaluators confirmed that if the table in 
Sec.  173.304a is revised to clearly link the maximum permitted filling 
density with the specific gas and the specific packaging, then the 
operational controls of DOT-SP 13599 would be met. Therefore, PHMSA 
proposes to modify the entries currently in the table in Sec.  
173.304a(a)(2) for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide to include the 
maximum filling densities listed in P-1560 and DOT-SP 13599.
Part 180, Subpart C
Qualification, Maintenance and Use of Cylinders
    The HMR prescribe requirements for the continuing qualification, 
maintenance, and periodic requalification of DOT specification

[[Page 5414]]

cylinders, DOT SP cylinders, and UN pressure receptacles. These 
requirements ensure that cylinders continue to conform to the 
appropriate specification and compromised cylinders are not filled with 
hazardous materials. The discussion of the proposed amendments includes 
a section-by-section review of the current requirements, and a 
discussion of SPs considered for adoption and proposed amendments.
Part 180
Section 180.209
    Each DOT specification cylinder must be given a complete external 
and internal visual inspection and subjected to a hydrostatic pressure 
test. This combination of a visual examination and hydrostatic test is 
referred to as requalification. The time period for periodic 
requalification is typically 5 years, but this period varies depending 
on the cylinder specification and the gas service. The requalification 
period for various DOT specification cylinders is shown in the Sec.  
180.209 table.
    Paragraph (e) authorizes a proof pressure test in lieu of the 
volumetric expansion test for 4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E cylinders protected 
with a corrosion resistant coating used exclusively for the gases 
specified in that paragraph. DOT-SP 12084 expands on the list in 
paragraph (e) to include additional gases. These gases are refrigerated 
gases and liquefied gases similar to those already permitted by Sec.  
180.209(e). This SP was originally granted in 1998 and has been revised 
several times to expand the list of gases authorized by the SP. Since 
1998, thousands of cylinders have been requalified in the manner 
described by this SP without safety incident. In this NPRM, PHMSA 
proposes to adopt the provisions in DOT-SP 12084 by removing the list 
of authorized gases and authorizing the use of the proof pressure test 
for DOT-4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E cylinders protected externally by a 
suitable corrosion resistant coating and used exclusively for non-
corrosive gases. The authorized specifications limit the total pressure 
in the cylinder to 500 psi or less. It should be noted that because 
this SP does not include a 4E cylinder, PHMSA specifically requests 
comments on the feasibility of its inclusion.
Section 180.213
    Cylinders requalified in accordance with the HMR must bear 
requalification markings in accordance with Sec.  180.213. As provided 
in Sec.  180.213(c), ``The depth of requalification markings may not be 
greater than specified in the applicable specification. The markings 
must be made by stamping, engraving, scribing or other method that 
produces a legible, durable mark.'' DOT-SP 14937 allows the use of a 
label embedded in epoxy in lieu of other methods described in Sec.  
180.213. PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (c) to allow the use of a 
label embedded in epoxy in lieu of stamping provided the marking is 
legible and durable. This SP was originally issued in 2008 and has an 
acceptable safety record.

B. Cylinders--NDT/Aerosols

Part 173
Section 173.304
    Section 173.304 specifies the requirements for the filling of 
cylinders with liquefied compressed gases. Paragraph (d) of this 
section provides for authorized packagings for the filling of cylinders 
with refrigerant and dispersant gases. The current regulations 
authorize these materials in a 2Q non-refillable container. DOT-SP 
12573 authorizes a refrigerant gas (``R 134a,'' UN3159) in a non-DOT 
specification container similar to a 2Q container at a maximum 
allowable pressure requirement for the contents of 198 psig at 54.4 
[deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F).
    Based on our review of the permit and no discovery of compliance 
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the 
permit, we are proposing to adopt the container found in DOT-SP 12573 
as an authorized container. However, we are differing marginally from 
the permit in that we are adopting a maximum pressure threshold of 200 
psig at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) for the contents. There is no 
safety basis for the 200 psig ceiling other than we believe it is a 
cleaner cutoff point than the 198 psig maximum found in the SP. In 
addition, as part of the variation on the design of a DOT 2Q container, 
the modified container will be marked as ``DOT 2Q1.''
    Finally, the current regulations require that the pressure of the 
contents of the metal containers not exceed 87 psig at 21 [deg]C 
(70[emsp14][deg]F). We invite comment on whether the requirement for a 
maximum pressure should be specified at 21 [deg]C (70[emsp14][deg]F) 
for the 2Q1 container in addition to the limit at 55 [deg]C 
(131[emsp14][deg]F). If so, we invite comment on what should the limit 
be for typical refrigerant or dispersant gas such as 1,1,1,2 
Tetrafluoroethane, R134a. See the associated discussions for Sec. Sec.  
173.306 and 178.33d.
Section 173.306
    Section 173.306 provides general requirements and exceptions for 
shipments of limited quantities of compressed gas. In this NPRM, we are 
making several proposed changes to this section. The proposed changes 
are discussed as follows:
    Conforming revisions. Throughout this section of the HMR and within 
related SPs that provide exemptions from these regulations for gases, 
pressure standards are indicated at either 130[emsp14][deg]F or 
131[emsp14][deg]F. In the interest of consistency and conformity with 
the general requirements for compressed gases in Sec. Sec.  173.301 and 
173.301a, we are proposing to change all references of 54.4 [deg]C 
(130[emsp14][deg]F) to 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). We invite comment 
on whether there are any potential negatives in making this conforming 
change. We are also making revisions to the construction and formatting 
of how this section is presented (e.g., insertion of an ``if, then'' 
table) in an effort to make the requirements more reader-friendly.
Authorized Metal Containers
    DOT 2P inner nonrefillable metal containers. Under Sec.  173.306, 
limited quantities of foodstuffs or soaps with soluble or emulsified 
compressed gas are authorized in nonrefillable metal or plastic 
containers. Paragraph (b)(1) introductory text authorizes these 
containers subject to a pressure requirement not to exceed 140 psig at 
54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F). SPs 13601 and 14503 authorize the 
transportation of ``UN1950, Aerosols, non-flammable (each not exceeding 
1 L capacity), 2.2,'' and 7951 authorizes the transportation of 
``UN1956, Compressed gas, n.o.s., 2.2,'' in containers that conform to 
DOT 2P or 2Q specifications except for some minimal modifications. The 
containers must have maximum pressures for the contents of 160 psig at 
54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F) and 150 psig at 23.9 [deg]C 
(75[emsp14][deg]F), respectively. DOT-SP 7951 states that the 
containers must be transported in the refrigerated state. PHMSA is 
seeking comments on whether refrigeration should be a condition of the 
transport of these materials. As part of the variation on the 
specification of these containers, the modified container will be 
marked as ``DOT 2P1'' under the provisions of new Sec.  178.33c 
discussed separately in this rulemaking.
    We are also proposing to include DOT 2P1 as an authorized metal 
aerosol container under Sec.  173.306(a)(3)(iii). We see no reason to 
limit this container to foodstuffs or soaps under paragraph (b)(1) 
because the pressure limit for the contents is the same as the current 
requirement for a DOT 2P container, and the safety factor of the 
minimum burst pressure under the SP is greater than that for a DOT 2P 
container (270

psig vs. 240 psig). We are not proposing to adopt the burst pressure 
requirement because the SP requirements are such that the pressure 
relief system of these containers must function at a pressure below the 
burst pressure. Also, the DOT 2P1 would be authorized for both Division 
2.1 and 2.2 aerosols under Sec.  173.306(a)(3)(iii).
    DOT 2Q inner nonrefillable metal containers. Limited quantities of 
compressed gas are authorized in metal aerosol containers (see Sec.  
171.8 of the HMR). Paragraph (a)(3) introductory text of this section 
authorizes metal aerosol containers under certain conditions including 
packaging types and pressure thresholds. The current regulations under 
Sec.  173.306(a)(3)(iii) require use of a DOT 2Q container for 
pressures exceeding 160 psig at 54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F) but not 
to exceed 180 psig. DOT-SP 12573 authorizes the transport of 
``Aerosols, non-flammable,'' UN1950 in non-DOT specification containers 
that conform to DOT 2Q specifications except for some modifications. 
The containers must have maximum pressures for the contents of 198 psig 
at 54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F).
    Based on review of the permit and no discovery of compliance 
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the 
permit, we are proposing to adopt the modified DOT 2Q as an authorized 
metal aerosol container. However, we are differing marginally from the 
permit in that we are adopting a maximum pressure threshold of 200 psig 
at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). There is no safety basis for the 200 
psig ceiling other than we believe it is a cleaner cutoff point than 
the 198 psig maximum found in the permit. As part of the variation of 
the specification of a DOT 2Q container, the modified container will be 
marked as ``DOT 2Q1.''
    This proposed rule would also expand authorized materials to 
include Division 2.1 aerosols. We see no reason to limit the use of 
this container to non-flammable aerosols based on the record of use for 
this container and that DOT 2Q containers currently authorized in the 
HMR are allowed to be used for all defined aerosol types, however, we 
invite comment on the suitability of the container for all aerosol 
types. See the associated discussions for Sec. Sec.  173.304 and 
178.33d.
    DOT-SP 13581 is linked to the above proposed provision in that it 
authorizes the use of metal aerosol containers manufactured, tested, 
and marked according to DOT-SP 12573. We believe with the adoption of 
the modified DOT 2Q container (i.e., a DOT 2Q1 container), this SP will 
no longer be needed.
Alternatives to Testing of Metal Aerosol Containers by a Hot Water Bath 
Test
    As a condition of the use of a metal aerosol container, each 
container, after being filled, must be subjected to a hot water bath to 
raise the internal pressure to such a degree that leakage or permanent 
deformation, if any, can be determined (see Sec.  173.306(a)(3)(v)). 
The provision also provides for a testing protocol for a container 
where the contents may be sensitive to heat. Currently, this is the 
only method authorized for determining leakage or permanent deformation 
and thus, fillers that have developed other protocols or that do not 
want to subject their products to a hot water bath test must obtain a 
SP. A number of SPs that authorize the use of alternative methods to 
determine leakage or permanent deformation are discussed as follows:
    (1) Alternate hot water bath test. DOT-SP 12995 authorizes a 
methodology that is a combination of a hot water bath test, a weight 
test, and visual inspection. Rather than subjecting each filled 
container to a hot water bath test, only one container out of each lot 
is subjected to the hot water bath test, a second is subjected to a 
weight test, the results of which must be compared to weight 
specification for the container as outlined in quality control 
procedures, and finally, the remainder of the lot must be visually 
inspected by examining the valve, crimp, and seam areas for evidence of 
leakage.
    Based on review of the permit and no discovery of compliance 
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the 
permit, we are proposing to adopt DOT-SP 12995. The permit authorizes 
only DOT 2Q containers but we are applying it to all authorized metal 
aerosol containers. While determining if DOT-SP 12995 was suitable for 
inclusion in this rulemaking, PHMSA's technical evaluators confirmed 
that the methodology that includes a combination of hot water bath 
test, weight test, and visual inspection may be performed on a DOT 2P 
as well as a DOT 2Q. Since these containers are similar designs except 
in terms of strength, this alternative to the hot water bath test is 
applicable to any metal container. Previously, most applicants of DOT-
SP 12995 only requested 2Q because that is what they needed for their 
particular hazmat, but that does not mean that alternative testing is 
not good for similar containers. Additionally, the permit applies to 
specific filling conditions but we will apply this testing method to 
containers complying with the current filling conditions in Sec.  
173.306(a)(3). Finally, we vary from the permit with our proposed 
language in that we require maintenance and access to operating 
procedures especially with regard to the weight test and specification 
in order to effect a broader application of this alternative. Rather 
than specify standards, we will allow persons to develop their own 
procedures that best fit their product on the condition that DOT has 
access to these procedures. We invite comment on this approach and 
others. In our proposal, for purposes of this alternative, we designate 
a lot as 2,000 containers consistent with the SP. We invite comment on 
whether we should specify a lot size, allow persons to determine the 
lot size, and if so, how the testing procedures should be modified to 
accommodate larger lot sizes.
    (2) Automated in-line pressure test. DOT-SPs 14429, 14623, 14625, 
14627, 14723, 14724, 14786, 14842, 14887, 14953, 15135, 15265, 15427, 
and 15972 all authorize the use of an automated process to check the 
pressure of filled containers (i.e., an ``automated in-line pressure 
check'') instead of subjecting the containers to a hot water bath. 
Based on review of the SPs and no discovery of compliance violations or 
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are 
proposing to adopt the provisions of these SPs, specifically 
authorizing the use of an automated process for pressure checks that 
does not involve a hot water bath. The safety control measures for the 
``automated in-line pressure check'' vary greatly among the SPs with 
regard to the criteria for rejection, limits on the filling of 
contents, inspection, and corrective action. We are seeking comments on 
whether the proposed +/-0.5% accuracy of the pressure measuring 
instrument is appropriate for widely-used automated equipment for 
aerosols. Rather than attempt to develop a standard that might not 
address all possible variations on an automated process, we have opted 
to propose a performance-based requirement that adopts parts of all of 
the SPs. Specifically, we propose to require the development of 
operating procedures (which we believe most entities should already 
have as part of their processes), we provide for basic components that 
the procedures must address (e.g., inclusion of rejection criteria), 
and we require written record of the operating procedures be made 
accessible to DOT representatives. We invite comment on the merits of 
this approach.
    (3) Weight test. DOT-SP 14440 authorizes the use of a process to 
check the weight of filled containers (i.e., an

[[Page 5416]]

``automated in-line pressure check'') instead of subjecting the 
containers to a hot water bath. Based on review of the permit and no 
discovery of compliance violations or incidents associated with the 
transport history of the permit, we are proposing to adopt the scope of 
this SP, specifically authorizing the use of weight checks as a means 
to determine compliance with pressure requirements. Comparison of the 
weight of a container against the pre-determined target weight for the 
container provides an indication of the filling of the container. For 
example, a container with a weight greater than that of the target 
weight provides an indication of overfilling and thus, would likely 
exceed the authorized pressure limit at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). 
We have opted to propose a performance-based requirement that adopts 
parts of all of the SPs. Specifically, we propose to require the 
development of operating procedures (which we believe most entities 
should already have as part of their processes), we provide for basic 
components that the procedures must address (e.g., a supplementary heat 
test for rejection of a lot), and we require written record of the 
operating procedures accessible to DOT representatives. We invite 
comment on the merits of this approach.
    (4) Leakage test. DOT-SP 14544 authorizes the use of a high 
pressure air test on empty containers combined with a leakage test for 
filled containers instead of subjecting the containers to a hot water 
bath. The testing protocol for filled containers found in this SP is 
currently applied to plastic containers under paragraph (a)(5) of this 
section in the HMR, however, the pressure and leakage test of the empty 
containers differs in its application. Under DOT-SP 14544, each empty 
container must be pressure tested at 120 psig instead of the HMR 
requirement that each empty container must be subjected to a pressure 
equal to or in excess of the maximum expected in the filled containers 
at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F), and that is at least two-thirds of 
the design pressure of the container. Under both tests, if there is 
evidence of leakage, the container must be rejected. Based on review of 
the permit, no discovery of compliance violations or incidents 
associated with the transport history of the permit, and a similar 
requirement currently under the HMR, we are proposing to adopt the 
scope of this SP, specifically authorizing the use of a leakage test as 
a means to determine compliance with pressure requirements. Our 
implementation will differ from the SP in that we are proposing to 
adopt the leakage testing requirements under Sec.  173.306(a)(5)(v), 
but including the DOT-SP 14544 testing protocol for empty containers as 
an alternative. We invite comment on our approach to adopt this SP.
    Accumulators. The HMR provides for special considerations for 
limited amounts of compressed gas in accumulators. DOT-SP 8786 
authorizes the transport of accumulators under an alternative testing 
procedure from what is outlined in paragraph (f)(2) and (f)(3) of this 
section. Instead of testing each accumulator to three times (3x) the 
charge pressure, the SP provides for conditions to test one accumulator 
out of each lot of 1,000 to the burst design pressure, and two 
accumulators to two and a half times (2.5x) the charge pressure. Based 
on review of the permit, no discovery of compliance violations or 
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, and the 
lengthy history of use of this SP, we are proposing to adopt DOT-SP 
8786 except for the specific conditions for the preparation for testing 
of the accumulators.
    Aerosol disposal. The general packaging requirements of the HMR 
forbid the transport of leaking or improperly-filled packages. This 
includes aerosol containers that are found to be leaking or improperly 
filled as part of a combination packaging. Although the HMR provides 
for conditions to allow for the transport of damaged, defective, or 
leaking packages under salvage packaging provisions in Sec.  173.3(c) 
and (d) for salvage drums and salvage cylinders, respectively, these 
provisions do not apply to aerosol containers that are leaking or 
improperly filled. Thus, shippers (fillers) with defective aerosol 
containers (``waste aerosols'') are limited to onsite disposal of 
aerosol containers that do not comply with the HMR. DOT-SP 11296 
provides for an option to transport these containers to an offsite 
facility for disposal under certain conditions (e.g., overpacking in 
DOT specification packagings, modal restrictions, etc.).
    Based on review of the permit, no discovery of compliance 
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the 
permit, and that adoption would allow for the transport of these 
aerosols for proper disposal, we are proposing to adopt the general 
scope of DOT-SP 11296 but with some differences. The proposed language 
is not limited to flammable aerosols such as indicated in the language 
in DOT-SP 11296. Also, the proposed regulatory language is modeled 
after the salvage packaging requirements of Sec.  173.3(c) in that: (1) 
The authorized outer packaging for overpacking the defective cylinders 
has been expanded to include other metal drums (i.e., 1B2 and 1N2); (2) 
a condition for cushioning and absorbent material, when necessary, has 
been added; and (3) an ``aerosol salvage'' drum marking has been 
adopted. We invite comment on several aspects of these proposed 
provisions including authorized aerosols, (e.g., are there concerns 
with allowing aerosols other than flammable aerosols only in the 
drums?), authorized outer packaging, hazard communication, and 
authorized transport modes.
Part 178
Section 178.33c
    Under the HMR, certain DOT specification containers with restricted 
capacity and commonly referred to as ``aerosol containers'' are 
authorized for transport of compressed gases and for liquefied 
compressed gases under limited situations. These containers include DOT 
2P (inner non-refillable metal) containers. The specification standards 
are outlined in Sec.  178.33 of the HMR, but the specification does not 
provide for variations on the standards. Thus, technological advances 
or design changes to satisfy customer needs are such that the resulting 
metal containers would not comply with the standards for a DOT 2P 
container, nor any other container authorized under either Sec. Sec.  
173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR. DOT-SPs 13601 and 14503 (also 7951) 
provide for a variation on the DOT 2P container specifications by 
authorizing construction of the container according to modifications to 
the standards for manufacture and testing.
    These variations on a 2P container are equipped with some manner of 
pressure relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release device or a dome 
expansion device) that must function within a certain pressure range, 
otherwise the container is rejected. In effect, these containers are 
designed to buckle to relieve pressure before bursting. For example, 
for a container built to DOT-SP 13601, the pressure relief system must 
function between 175 psig and 210 psig or be rejected. However, we have 
no specific information in the special permit(s) on the relationship 
between the functional range and the tested burst pressure. The current 
requirements for a container for foodstuffs under Sec.  173.306(b)(1) 
is that the pressure of the contents cannot exceed 140 psig at 
130[emsp14][deg]F and the container must be capable of withstanding a 
pressure of 1.5x the contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F without bursting. 
Thus, 140 psig of contents equates to a minimum burst pressure of 210 
psig.

[[Page 5417]]

Additionally, the current minimum burst pressure for a DOT 2P container 
is 240 psig (Sec.  178.33-8). Using the DOT-SP 13601 requirements, the 
minimum burst pressure requirement is listed as 270 psig (assumed at 
130[emsp14][deg]F) and the pressure of contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F 
may not exceed 160 psig thus, equating to approximately 1.7x the 
contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F without bursting (which is more stringent 
than for a 2P under the HMR). However, accounting for the pressure 
range for operation of the relief system at 175 psig to 210 psig, the 
multiplier based on the maximum pressure of the contents is 
approximately 1.1x to 1.3x the contents. That is, the relief system 
must function within 1.1x to 1.3x the pressure of the contents at 
130[emsp14][deg]F.
    This is further complicated under DOT-SP 14503 (and 7951) where the 
standard for the pressure of the contents is set at 75[emsp14][deg]F 
for which we do not have an equivalent requirement under the HMR. 
Additionally, the ranges for functioning of the relief systems have a 
higher upper bound, 175 to 250 and 175 to 235, respectively. And, 
finally there is no minimum burst pressure specified in DOT-SP 14503 
(and 7951); therefore, we must default to the DOT 2P minimum burst 
pressure of 240 psig. Again, the circumstances are unclear in that the 
upper bounds for the functional ranges approach or exceed the 2P 
minimum burst pressure yet we do not have information on the actual 
tested burst pressure which could be much larger. Therefore, based on 
the requirements of DOT-SP 13601, we propose to implement a requirement 
that for containers with pressure relief systems, the upper bound of 
the functional range for a pressure relief system must be no greater 
than 80% of the minimum burst pressure or the recorded test pressure. 
We invite comment on using this approach and whether it would be 
preferable to implement a requirement for the upper bound of the range 
based on the pressure of the contents?
    Overall, based on review of the permit and no discovery of safety 
issues or incidents associated with the transport history of the 
permit, we are proposing to incorporate the standards for the modified 
DOT 2P container found in DOT-SP 13601 (and likely 14503 (7951)) as a 
variation on the DOT 2P container design. This variation would be 
required to be marked as a ``DOT 2P1.'' Rather than repeat in total the 
DOT 2P specification standards that have remained the same for a DOT 
2P1 container, we propose to instruct the reader that all standards for 
a DOT 2P1 remain the same as those for a DOT 2P except for the 
variations outlined in a proposed new Sec.  178.33c-2.
Section 178.33d
    Under the HMR, certain DOT specification containers with restricted 
capacity and commonly referred to as ``aerosol containers'' are 
authorized for transport of compressed gases and for liquefied 
compressed gases under limited situations. These containers include DOT 
2Q (inner nonrefillable metal) containers. The specification standards 
are outlined in Sec.  178.33a of the HMR but the specification does not 
provide for variations on the standards. Thus, technological advances 
or design changes to satisfy customer needs are such that the resulting 
metal containers would not comply with the standards for a DOT 2Q 
container, nor any other container authorized under either Sec. Sec.  
173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR. DOT-SP 12573 provides for a variation on 
the DOT 2Q container specifications by authorizing construction of the 
container according to modifications to the standards for type and 
size, manufacture, wall thickness, and testing. DOT-SP 14503 also 
provides for a variation on the DOT 2Q container specification by 
authorizing construction of the container according to modifications to 
its manufacture and testing.
    These variations on a 2P container are equipped with some manner of 
pressure relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release device or a dome 
expansion device) that must function by a certain threshold level or 
within a certain pressure range, otherwise the container is rejected. 
In effect, these containers are designed to buckle to relieve pressure 
before bursting. For example, for a container built to DOT-SP 12573, 
the minimum pressure before the system buckles is 220 psig (and if not 
equipped with a pressure relief system, the container may not burst 
below 320 psig). The maximum pressure of the contents authorized under 
this SP is 198 psig at 130[emsp14][deg]F (we proposed at maximum level 
of 200 psig based on this SP in the Sec.  173.306 discussion for 2Q 
containers). The current requirements for a 2Q container under Sec.  
173.306(a)(3)(ii) is that the pressure of the contents cannot exceed 
180 psig at 130[emsp14][deg]F and the container must be capable of 
withstanding a pressure of 1.5x the contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F 
without bursting. Applying the same multiplier to 200 psig, the 
container must withstand 300 psig without bursting. The DOT-SP 12573 
minimum burst pressure of 320 psig is more stringent; however, the 
calculated burst pressure of 300 psig based on the proposed maximum 
pressure of contents is also greater than the current required minimum 
burst pressure of 270 psig for a 2Q container. Thus, it provides a 
greater margin of safety than current required but also provides some 
opportunity for relief as a standard. We propose to adopt a 300 psig 
minimum burst pressure for this modified 2Q container. Also, we propose 
to require buckling of the system at 75% of tested burst pressure (with 
a minimum burst test pressure of 300 psig). We invite comment on these 
approaches for adoption of the provisions for the modified 2Q container 
under DOT-SP 12573. Based on review of the permit and no discovery of 
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are 
proposing to adopt the standards for the modified DOT 2Q container 
found in DOT-SP 12573 as a variation on the DOT 2Q container design. 
This variation would be required to be marked as a ``DOT 2Q1.''
    The requirements under DOT-SP 14503 operate differently in that the 
standard for the pressure of the contents is set at 75[emsp14][deg]F to 
which we do not have an equivalent requirement under the HMR. 
Additionally, the SP provides for a range of pressure for functioning 
of the relief systems, specifically, 180 to 300 psig. And, finally 
there is no minimum burst pressure specified in DOT-SP 14503 so we must 
default to the DOT 2Q minimum burst pressure of 270 psig. The upper 
bound for the functional range exceeds the 2Q minimum burst pressure 
yet we do not have information on the actual tested burst pressure 
which could be much larger. Therefore, based on a similar proposal to 
implement provisions of DOT-SP 13601 for 2P containers (see the Sec.  
178.33c discussion), the upper bound of the functional range for a 
pressure relief system must be no greater than 80% of the test 
pressure. We invite comment on using this approach and whether it would 
be preferable to implement a requirement for the upper bound of the 
range based on the pressure of the contents.
    Based on review of the permit and no discovery of incidents 
associated with the transport history of the permit, we are proposing 
to adopt the standards for the modified DOT 2Q container found in DOT-
SP 14503 as a variation on the DOT 2Q container design. This variation 
would be required to be marked as a ``DOT 2Q2.'' Rather than repeat, in 
total, the DOT 2Q specification standards for each of these modified 
containers that have remained the same, we propose to implement the 
proposals in this section by instructing the reader that all standards 
for a DOT 2Q1 or a DOT 2Q2

[[Page 5418]]

remain as for a DOT 2Q except for the variations outlined in proposed 
new Sec. Sec.  178.33d-2 and 178.33d-3. We invite comment on this 
method of implementing these modified DOT 2Q specification containers.

C. Cargo Tanks/Rail Cars/Portable Tanks

Part 173
Section 173.315
    Section 173.315 specifies the bulk packaging provisions for 
liquefied compressed gases in UN and DOT specification cargo tanks and 
portable tanks. DOT-SP 12576 authorizes non-DOT specification cargo 
tanks for the transportation of UN1080, Sulfur hexafluoride, that 
otherwise conform to the MC 331 specifications except for design 
pressure, capacity, and marking. The cargo tanks are designed and built 
in conformance with Section VIII, Division 1, of the ASME Code, and the 
design pressure may not exceed 600 psig. Additionally, the water 
capacity range for each tank ranges from a minimum of 15 gallons to a 
maximum of 500 gallons. Based on our review of the permit and no 
discovery of compliance violations or incidents associated with the 
transport history of the permit, we are proposing to revise the Sec.  
173.315(a)(2) Table by referring to a new Note 28 in the entry for 
``Division 2.2, materials not specifically provided for in this table'' 
as Sulfur hexafluoride is not listed by name in the table. New note 28 
codifies such tanks specified in DOT-SP12576 for the transportation of 
Sulfur hexafluoride. PHMSA is soliciting comment on whether this 
amendment should include other compressed gases and whether the 
prescribed design pressure or capacity should be revised in a final 
rule.
Section 173.319
    Section 173.319 prescribes the loading and packaging provisions for 
cryogenic liquids transported in tank cars. Currently, the HMR 
authorizes a maximum of 10 psig in a DOT 113C120W tank car containing 
UN1038, Ethylene, refrigerated liquid, when offered for transportation 
by rail. DOT-SP 12039 authorizes the transportation in commerce of DOT 
113C120W tank cars containing Ethylene, refrigerated liquid, at an 
internal pressure of 20 psig instead of the maximum 10 psig. Based on 
our review of the permit and no discovery of compliance violations or 
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are 
proposing to revise the paragraph (d)(2) Table by authorizing a maximum 
of 20 psig consistent with DOT-SP 12039.

D. Operational Air/Vessel

Part 172
Sections 172.101 (Hazardous Materials Table) and 172.102 Special 
Provisions
    Section 172.101 provides instructions for using the Hazardous 
Materials Table (HMT) and the HMT itself. Column 7 of the HMT specifies 
codes for special provisions applicable to hazardous materials. Special 
provisions contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions 
applicable to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. 
When Column 7 of the HMT refers to a special provision for a hazardous 
material, the meaning and requirements of that special provision are as 
set forth in Sec.  172.102 (Special provisions).
    In this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to revise Column 7 for several 
entries to add the vessel-specific special provision ``W11.'' This 
special provision would allow, when offered for transportation by 
vessel, certain materials to be offered in the same transport unit with 
foodstuffs and cargo of an organic nature provided a distance of 3m (10 
feet) is maintained between the hazardous materials and foodstuffs or 
cargo of an organic nature. The affected entries are as follows:
    Section 172.102 lists special provisions applicable to the 
transportation of specific hazardous materials.
    <bullet> Benzaldehyde, UN1990
    <bullet> Corrosive liquid, acidic, inorganic, n.o.s, UN3264, PG II 
and III
    <bullet> Corrosive liquid, acidic, organic, n.o.s., UN3265, PG II 
and III
    <bullet> Extracts, flavoring, liquid, UN1197, PG II and III
    <bullet> Flammable liquids, corrosive, n.o.s., UN2924, PG III
    <bullet> Phosphoric acid solution, UN1805
Special Provision W11
    Currently, Sec.  176.800(a) of the HMR specifies that each package 
requiring a Class 8 (corrosive) label being transported by vessel must 
be stowed clear from living quarters and away from foodstuffs and cargo 
of an organic nature. In addition, Sec.  176.800(b) prohibits packages 
requiring a Class 8 (corrosive) label from being stowed over any 
readily combustible material. DOT-SP 11691 authorizes deviation from 
the segregation requirements for vessel stowage when shipped in the 
same transport unit of certain flammable, Class 9 (miscellaneous), and 
corrosive liquids that are the ingredients of soft drinks (beverages). 
DOT-SP 11691 also allows these packages of certain corrosive liquids to 
be stowed over packages of other specifically authorized flammable 
liquids. During the review of this SP, PHMSA noted that the transport 
conditions found in DOT-SP 11691 are different from the currently 
authorized segregation from foodstuffs requirements found in the 
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code sections 7.3.4.2.1 
and 7.3.4.2.2, in that a segregation distance of 3 m (10 ft) from 
foodstuffs is required by the IMDG Code.
    Based on our review, DOT-SP 11691 did not reveal safety incidents 
associated with its transport history. Therefore, we are proposing to 
adopt new special provision ``W11'' to adopt the operational control 
provisions of DOT-SP 11691 as well as the additional requirement that 
packages requiring Class 8 labels must be separated within the 
transport unit by a distance of 3 m (10 ft) from foodstuffs and cargo 
of an organic nature. The SP includes specific technical names that are 
authorized, but to be more consistent with the IMDG Code provisions, 
PHMSA is proposing to extend the exception to all packages offered for 
transport under any of the proper shipping names (and associated 
packing group) to which this special provision is assigned. The 
proposed special provision W11 would allow entries assigned this 
special provision, when offered for transportation by vessel, to be 
offered in the same transport unit with foodstuffs and cargo of an 
organic nature provided a distance of 3m (10 feet) is maintained 
between the hazardous materials and foodstuffs or cargo of an organic 
nature. Class 8 (corrosive) materials assigned this special provision 
would also be allowed to be stowed over packages of flammable liquids 
also assigned this special provision.
Part 176
Section 176.90
    Section 176.90 prescribes requirements for private automobiles 
carrying Class 1 hazardous materials on board ferry vessels. There are 
four SPs that provide relief for ferry transport of private automobiles 
carrying engines, gasoline, and propane. DOT-SP 7465, 11150, 13213, and 
14458 all contain slightly different provisions to facilitate this 
process safely. Where differences exist between these permits, PHMSA 
has attempted to choose the least restrictive provision for adoption. 
PHMSA specifically requests comments on this approach.
    PHMSA is proposing to renumber the existing lone paragraph as 
paragraph (a), and to add a new paragraph (b) to adopt an exception for 
``Engines, internal

[[Page 5419]]

combustion, flammable gas powered or flammable liquid powered, 
including when fitted in machinery or vehicles (i.e. motor vehicles, 
recreational vehicles, campers, trailers), vehicle flammable liquid or 
flammable gas powered, gasoline, and petroleum gases, liquefied or 
liquefied petroleum gas'' when included as part of a motor home, 
recreational vehicle, camper, or trailer when carried on board ferry 
vessels subject to certain operational controls.
    In this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to revise this section to allow 
items normally offered as engines, vehicles, gasoline, or propane in 
private automobiles aboard ferry vessels to receive exceptions with 
certain restrictions. These restrictions include: (1) Cylinders must be 
visually inspected for defects, cracks, or leaks, and gasoline 
containers must show no signs of damage or leakage; (2) cylinders of 
liquefied petroleum gas must have the cylinders securely attached to 
recreational vehicles; (3) extra containers of gasoline (including camp 
stove or lantern fuel) and portable cylinders of liquefied petroleum 
gas (including cylinders for camping equipment) not securely attached 
to recreational vehicles must be stowed in the vessel's paint locker; 
(4) liquefied petroleum gas cylinders must be secured by closing the 
shut-off valves prior to the recreational vehicles being loaded on the 
vessel; (5) the owner or operator of each recreational vehicle must be 
directed to close all operating valves within the vehicles, (6) ``no 
smoking'' signs must be posted on the vehicle decks and, if used for 
storage of hazardous materials in close proximity to the vessel's paint 
locker; (7) a continuous patrol of the vehicle decks must be made by a 
crewmember, and any unusual or dangerous situation must be reported to 
the vessel's master; (8) passengers are allowed on the vehicle decks, 
but are subject to the control of the crew personnel conducting the 
continuous vehicle deck patrol; (9) vessel personnel responsible for 
performing any function in the proposed section must be trained in 
accordance with Subpart H of Part 172; and (10) shipments made under 
this section are subject to the Hazardous Materials Incident Reporting 
requirements.

Part 171
Section 171.8
    Section 171.8 defines terms generally used throughout the HMR that 
have broad or multi-modal applicability. PHMSA is proposing to add the 
following definition based on the proposed adoption of DOT-SP 11458:
    Display pack: This term means a package intended to be placed on 
the floor of retail stores which is designed to provide direct customer 
access to consumer commodities contained within the package when all or 
part of the outer fiberboard packaging is removed.
    DOT-SP 11458 authorizes the transportation in commerce of display 
packs of consumer commodity packages or limited quantity packages that 
exceed the 30 kg gross weight limit. The provisions of DOT-SP 11458 are 
being proposed for adoption into Sec.  173.156. However, the term 
``display pack'' is not currently defined in the HMR. Therefore, in 
this NPRM we are proposing to adopt the definition for ``display pack'' 
under Sec.  171.8 based upon the definition found in DOT-SP 11458.
Part 172
Section 172.102
    Section 172.102 lists Special Provisions applicable to the 
transportation of specific hazardous materials. Special Provisions 
contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions applicable 
to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. PHMSA is 
proposing the following revisions to the Sec.  172.102, Special 
Provisions:
Special Provision 380
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 380 to adopt SP 10705. This 
SP provides relief from the segregation requirements of Sec.  
177.848(d) for the transport of UN1092, Acrolein, stabilized by private 
carrier in a motor vehicle. The SP prescribes the packaging that must 
be used and the materials with which acrolien, stabilized may be 
loaded. The SP further specifies that the motor carrier must maintain a 
satisfactory safety rating as prescribed in part 385 of CFR Title 49. 
Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted under this 
SP has an acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide 
flexibility in transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of 
safety, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in 
this Special Provision. The provisions of DOT-SP 10705 are specific to 
UN1092, Acrolein, stabilized; therefore, this Special Provision is 
assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Special Provision 381
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 381 to adopt SP 7991. This 
SP provides relief from the HMR for the transportation of railroad 
flagging kits by highway. See Sec.  173.184 for a detailed discussion 
of the proposed adoption of DOT-SP 7991. This Special Provision is 
assigned to the following HMT entries: Fusee (rail or highway) (NA1325, 
Division 4.1, PG II; Articles, pyrotechnic (UN0431, Division 1.4G, PG 
II); Signal Devices, hand (UN0373, Division 1.4S, PG II); Signal 
Devices, hand (UN0191, Division 1.4G, PG II); and Signals, railway 
track, explosive (UN0193, Division 1.4S, PG II).
Special Provision 382
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 382 to adopt SP 8006. This 
SP provides relief from the labeling requirements of Sec.  172.400(a) 
for the transportation of toy plastic or paper caps for toy pistols by 
motor vehicle, railcar, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft. See Sec.  
172.400a(a)(8) for a detailed discussion of the proposed adoption of 
DOT-SP 8006. This Special Provision is assigned to the following HMT 
entries: Articles, explosive, n.o.s. (UN0349) and Toy caps (UN0337).
Special Provision 383
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 383 to adopt SP 11356. This 
SP authorizes material meeting the conditions for high viscosity 
flammable liquids specified in Sec.  173.121(b)(1)(i), (b)(1)(ii), and 
(b)(1)(iv), to be re-classed to Packing Group III for transportation by 
motor vehicle. The SP prescribes packaging, capacity limitations, and 
load securement requirements. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in the transportation of 
these materials while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this 
Special Provision. This Special Provision is assigned to the following 
HMT entries: Coating solution (UN1139, PG II) and paint (UN1263, PG 
II).
Special Provision 384
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 384 to adopt SP 11666. This 
SP authorizes the transportation of green graphite electrodes and 
shapes that are large single component solid objects not subject to 
sifting, in open rail flat cars, open bed motor vehicles, and 
intermodal containers. The SP prescribes load securement requirements 
for the electrodes and shapes. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in

[[Page 5420]]

the transportation of these articles and materials while maintaining an 
equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to adopt the provisions of 
the SP in its entirety in this Special Provision. This Special 
Provision is assigned to the following HMT entries: Other regulated 
substances, n.o.s. (NA3077, PG III) and Environmentally hazardous 
substances, solid, n.o.s. (UN3077, PG III)
Special Provision 385
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 385 to adopt SP 13343. This 
SP authorizes the use of cargo heaters when weather conditions are such 
that the freezing of certain wetted explosive material is likely. 
Shipments must be made by private, leased or contract carrier vehicles 
in exclusive use. Cargo heaters must be reverse refrigeration (heat 
pump) units. Shipments made in accordance with the SP are excepted from 
the anti-freeze requirements of Sec.  173.60(b)(4). Based on our 
review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an 
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility to 
motor carriers engaged in the transportation of these explosive 
materials while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this 
Special Provision. The provisions of DOT-SP 13343 are specific to 
Trinitroresorcinol, wetted or Styphnic acid, wetted with not less than 
20% water, or mixture of alcohol and water by mass (UN0394); therefore 
this Special Provision is assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Special Provision B130
    PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision B130 to adopt SP 14525. 
This SP provides relief from the HMR except for the shipping paper 
requirements of Subpart C of Part 172, emergency response information 
as required by Sec.  172.602, and the marking requirements of Sec.  
172.302,(a), (b), and (d) when transporting used diatomaceous earth 
filter material by highway. The SP prescribes packaging, quantity 
limitations, and the required method of storing the packages within the 
motor vehicle. Based on our review, the fact that transportation 
conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, and adopting 
it would provide flexibility to private motor carriers engaged in pest 
control operations while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we 
are proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this 
Special Provision. The provisions of SP 14525 are specific to self-
heating solid, organic, n.o.s. (UN3088); therefore this Special 
Provision is assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Section 172.202
    Section 172.202 establishes requirements for shipping descriptions 
on shipping papers. As part of these shipping paper requirements, in 
many situations a net or gross quantity of the hazardous materials must 
be included. SP 11811 provides relief from this requirement for local 
collections operations transporting hazardous materials and hazardous 
substances by highway that are ``household wastes'' as described in 40 
CFR 261.4 and not subject to the Environmental Protection Agency's 
hazardous waste regulations in 40 CFR, Parts 262 and 263. Based on our 
review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an 
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility to 
shippers while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to revise paragraph (c) of Sec.  172.202 to adopt the 
provisions of SP 11811 in its entirety.
Section 172.315
    Section 172.315 establishes requirements for the marking of 
packages containing limited quantities of hazardous materials. For 
transportation by highway by private carrier SP 11197 provides relief 
from the requirement to display the limited quantity marking on 
packages containing materials assigned to Packing Groups II and III 
prepared in accordance with the limited quantity requirements in Part 
173. The relief offered by SP 11197 does not include materials assigned 
to Classes 1, and 7, and Division 6.1 and 6.2 materials. The SP 
prescribes inner packaging and package quantity limitations; the 
maximum gross weight of packages that may be transported in one 
vehicle; and special package marking requirements. Based on our review, 
the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable 
safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility in 
transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(3) to Sec.  172.315 to adopt the 
provisions of SP 11197 in its entirety.
Section 172.400a
    Section 172.400a provides exceptions from the Sec.  172.400 general 
labeling requirements for packages or containment devices containing 
hazardous materials and offered for transportation or transported in 
commerce. SP 8006 provides relief from the Sec.  172.400 general 
labeling requirements for toy plastic or paper caps for toy pistols 
described as ``UN0349, Articles, explosive, n.o.s. (Toy caps), 1.4S, PG 
II'' or ``NA0337, Toy caps, 1.4S, PG II'' when offered for 
transportation by motor vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel, and cargo 
aircraft. The toy plastic or paper caps must have been examined in 
conformance with Sec.  173.56 and approved by the Associate 
Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. The SP specifies that the 
toy plastic or paper caps must be in the form of sheets, strips, rolls, 
or individual caps and further specifies the maximum average explosive 
composition of each cap. The SP also prescribes quantity limitations 
and packaging, segregation, and special marking requirements. Based on 
our review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an 
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility in 
transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(8) to Sec.  172.400a to adopt the 
provisions of SP 8006 in its entirety.
Part 173
Section 173.12
    Section 173.12 provides certain exceptions and authorizations for 
the transportation of waste materials. SP 11470 authorizes 
transportation by motor vehicle and cargo vessel of shrink-wrapped 
pallets containing boxes of waste ORM-D or limited quantity materials 
when marked with the word ``WASTE'' on the outside of the pallet 
instead of each individual box. The SP prescribes packaging and marking 
requirements for the waste materials. In addition, under a petition for 
rulemaking under petition number P-1611, COSTHA also requested that 
PHMSA adopt this SP into the HMR. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in transportation while 
maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to add a 
new paragraph (h) to Sec.  173.12 to adopt the provisions of SP 11470 
in its entirety.
Section 173.29
    Section 173.29 prescribes certain requirements, exceptions, and 
authorizations for the transportation of empty packagings. SP 9610 
provides relief from complete shipping papers and the placarding 
requirements of subpart F of part 172 for smokeless powder residue when 
transported by motor vehicle or railcar in ``Container-on-flat-car'' 
(COCF) or ``Trailer-on-flat-

[[Page 5421]]

car'' (TOCF) service. The smokeless powder must be approved in 
conformance with Sec.  173.56 as a Class 1 explosive substance. The SP 
prescribes packaging requirements, quantity limitations, operational 
controls, and a specific shipping description for the material. Based 
on our review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has 
an acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility 
in transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we 
are proposing to revise paragraph (f) of Sec.  173.29 to adopt the 
provisions of SP 9610 in its entirety. We invite specific comment on 
the adoption of this SP pertaining to hazard communication.
Section 173.63
    Section 173.63 provides certain packaging exceptions for the 
transportation of Class 1 (explosive) materials. SP 4850 authorizes 
Cord, detonating, or Fuse detonating, metal clad (UN0290, Div. 1.1D) to 
be renamed and reclassed as Cord, detonating, mild effect, or Fuse, 
detonating, mild effect, metal clad (UN0104, Div. 1.4D); and Charges, 
shaped, flexible, linear (UN0288, Div. 1.1D) to be renamed and 
reclassed ``Charges, shaped, flexible, linear (UN0237, Div. 1.4D) and 
transported by motor vehicle, railcar, cargo vessel, and cargo 
aircraft. The SP prescribes packaging requirements and quantity 
limitations. Based on our review, the fact that transportation 
conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, and adopting 
it would provide flexibility in transportation while maintaining an 
equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to revise paragraph (a) of 
Sec.  173.63 to adopt the provisions of SP 4850 in its entirety.
Section 173.156
    Section 173.156 provides certain exceptions and authorizations for 
the transportation of limited quantities and other regulated materials 
(ORM). For transportation by railcar in trailer-on-flat-car (TOFC) or 
container-on-flat-car (COFC) service, or roadrailer and/or railrunner 
trailers or by motor vehicle, or cargo vessel SP 11458 authorizes 
display packs of consumer commodity packages that exceed 30 kg gross 
weight. See Sec.  171.8 for a discussion of the proposed addition of 
the definition of ``display pack.'' The SP prescribes packaging and 
marking requirements and quantity limitations. In addition, in a 
petition for rulemaking under petition number P-1607, COSTHA requested 
PHMSA adopt this SP into the HMR. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in transportation while 
maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to add a 
new paragraph (c) to Sec.  173.156 to adopt the provisions of SP 11458 
in its entirety.
    The proposed adoption of SP 11470 relating to exceptions for waste 
limited quantity and ORM-D materials is discussed in Sec.  173.12. We 
are proposing to add a new paragraph (d) to Sec.  173.156 to direct the 
reader to the proposed new paragraph (h) of Sec.  173.12 which adopts 
the provisions of SP 11470.
Section 173.159
    Section 173.159 prescribes packaging requirements for wet 
batteries. For transportation by motor vehicle, railcar, cargo vessel 
and passenger and cargo aircraft, SP 11078 excepts the transportation 
of nickel cadmium batteries containing potassium hydroxide, a Class 8 
material from the other requirements of the HMR. The SP prescribes 
packaging requirements and quantity limitations. Based on our review,

proposing to add a new paragraph (j) to Sec.  173.159 to adopt the 
provisions of SP 11078 in its entirety.
Section 173.168
    Section 173.168 prescribes specific approval, testing, protection, 
packaging, and equipment marking requirements for chemical oxygen 
generators. SP 11984 authorizes certain unapproved chemical oxygen 
generators with only one positive means of preventing unintentional 
actuation of the generator, and without the required approval number 
marked on the outside of the package, to be transported by motor 
vehicle, railcar, and cargo vessel. The SP prescribes packaging, 
testing and marking requirements. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in transportation while 
maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to add a 
new paragraph (g) to Sec.  173.168 to adopt the provisions of SP 11984 
in its entirety.
Section 173.184
    Section 173.184 prescribes specific packaging requirements for the

in operations while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are 
proposing to revise paragraph (i)(3) and (i)(4) of Sec.  177.834 to 
adopt the provisions of these SPs in their entirety.
    SPs 13484 and 14447 authorize ``attendance'' of the loading or 
unloading of a cargo tank through the use of hoses equipped with cable 
connected wedges, plungers, or flapper valves located at each end of 
the hose, able to stop the flow of product from both the source and the 
receiving tank within one second without human intervention in the 
event of a hose rupture, disconnection, or separation. The SPs 
prescribe inspection requirements and operational controls for use of 
the hoses. Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted 
under these SPs have an acceptable safety record, and adopting them 
would provide flexibility in operations while maintaining an equivalent 
level of safety, we are proposing to revise paragraphs (i)(3) and 
(i)(4) of Sec.  177.834 to adopt the provisions of SPs 13484 and 14447 
in their entirety.
    SPs 10597, 10803, 10882, 14618, and 14726 authorize the use of 
diesel or propane fueled combustion cargo heaters in motor vehicles 
used to transport Class 3 (flammable liquid) or Division 2.1 (flammable 
gas) materials. The SPs prescribe operational controls for use of the 
heaters. Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted 
under these SPs have an acceptable safety record, and adopting them 
would provide flexibility in operations while maintaining an equivalent 
level of safety, we are proposing to revise paragraph (l)(2)(i) of 
Sec.  177.834 to adopt the provisions of these SPs in their entirety. 
In this NPRM, as the existing paragraph (l)(2)(ii) of Sec.  177.834 
relating to the Effective date for combustion heater requirements is 
obsolete, we are proposing its removal. In addition, we are also 
proposing the redesignation of paragraph (l)(2)(iii) of Sec.  177.834 
to paragraph (l)(2)(ii).
Section 177.838
    Section 177.838 establishes specific operational requirements for 
the transportation of Class 4 (flammable solid) materials, Class 5 
(oxidizing) materials, and Division 4.2 (self-heating and pyrophoric 
liquid) materials. Notwithstanding the segregation requirements of

and separation requirements. Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in highway operations while 
maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to revise 
the title of Sec.  177.838 and add a new paragraph (i) to Sec.  177.838 
to adopt the provisions of SP 11373 in its entirety.
Section 177.840
    Section 177.840 establishes specific operational requirements for 
the transportation of Class 2 (gases) materials. Notwithstanding the 
segregation requirements of Sec.  177.848(d), SP 11043 authorizes the 
transport on the same transport vehicle of Division 2.3, Hazard Zone A 
materials with materials classed as Division 2.1, Class 3, Class 4, 
Class 5, and Class 8. The SP prescribes packaging, marking, separation 
requirements.
    Notwithstanding the segregation requirements of Sec.  177.848(d), 
SP 14335 authorizes the transport on the same transport vehicle of 
Division 2.3, Hazard Zone A materials with specification non-bulk 
packagings and IBCs containing only the residue of Division 2.1, 4.3, 
5.1, and Class 3 and 8 materials. The SP prescribes separation and 
securement requirements, operational controls, quantity limitations, 
and carrier safety rating requirements.
    Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted under 
these

[[Page 5423]]

SPs have an acceptable safety record, and adopting them would provide 
flexibility in highway operations while maintaining an equivalent level 
of safety, we are proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(3) to Sec.  
177.840 to adopt the provisions of SPs 11043 and 14335 in their 
entirety.
Section 177.841
    Section 177.841 establishes specific operational requirements for 
the transportation of Division 6.1 and Division 2.3 materials. 
Notwithstanding the segregation requirements of Sec.  177.848(d), SP 
11151 authorizes transportation by highway by private or contract motor 
carrier of Division 6.1 Packing Group I, Hazard Zone A materials 
meeting the definition of a hazardous waste as provided in Sec.  171.8 
on the same transport vehicle with materials classed as Class 3, Class 
4, Class 5, and Class 8. The Division 6.1 Packing Group I, Hazard Zone 
A materials must be loaded on pallets and separated from the Class 3, 
Class 4, Class 5, and Class 8 materials by a minimum horizontal 
distance of 2.74 m (9 feet). Based on our review, the fact that 
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, 
and adopting it would provide flexibility in highway operations while 
maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to add a 
new paragraph (f) to Sec.  177.841 to adopt the provisions of SP 11151 
in its entirety.

F. Non-Bulk Packaging Specifications/IBCs

Part 172
Section 172.101
    The Sec.  172.101 HMT designates the materials listed therein as 
hazardous materials for the purpose of transportation of those 
materials. For each listed material, the HMT identifies the hazard 
class or specifies that the material is forbidden in transportation, 
and gives the proper shipping name or directs the user to the preferred 
proper shipping name. In addition, the HMT specifies or references 
requirements in this subchapter pertaining to labeling, packaging, 
quantity limits aboard aircraft, and stowage of hazardous materials 
aboard vessels. We are proposing to revise several entries in the HMT 
to adopt SPs relating to non-bulk packagings and IBCs. Specifically, 
for ``UN1415, Lithium,'' ``UN2257, Potassium,'' ``UN3190, Self-heating 
solid, inorganic, n.o.s.,'' ``UN1428, Sodium,'' ``UN1381, Phosphorus, 
yellow, under water'' and ``UN2813, Water-reactive solid, n.o.s.'' for 
Packing Groups II and III, we are proposing to add a reference to Sec.  
173.151 to provide packaging exceptions for relevant Hazard Class 4 
materials. These proposed revisions are discussed below.
Part 173
Section 173.62
    Section 173.62 provides specific packaging requirements for 
explosives. DOT-SP 12335 authorizes the transportation in commerce by 
motor vehicle, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft when authorized in the 
HMT and passenger-carrying aircraft, when authorized for carriage by 
hazmat table and used exclusively to transport personnel to remote work 
sites of certain Division 1.1D and 1.4D detonating cords without the 
ends being sealed in alternative packaging, provided that the inner 
packaging containing the detonating cord is made of a static-resistant 
plastic bag of at least 3 mil thickness and the bag is securely closed 
for transportation. We have noted nine violations related to shipments 
moving under DOT-SP 12335. However, the violations did not involve 
safety issues with the permit. Thus, we propose to adopt the provisions 
of the SP in its entirety in Sec.  173.62.
Section 173.150
    Section 173.150 provides exceptions from the HMR for certain Class 
3 flammable liquid material. This section includes exceptions for 
limited quantities, consumer commodities, alcoholic beverages, aqueous 
solutions of alcohol and combustible liquids. In this NPRM, PHMSA is 
proposing to add a paragraph (h) to include an exception that would 
permit Diesel fuel (UN1202 or NA1993) and Gasoline (UN1203) to be 
transported one way, by motor vehicle, directly from the loading 
location to an equipment repair facility in non-specification non-bulk 
packaging, known as a gasoline dispenser. Specifically, shipments 
wishing to use this exception would be required to transport the 
material in a gasoline dispenser and prior to loading, each dispenser 
must be capped or plugged all product inlet and outlet piping, so that 
no fluid may be released during transportation. Furthermore, no 
dispenser may contain more than 2 gallons of gasoline, and each 
dispenser must be blocked, braced or strapped to the motor vehicle to 
prevent movement during transportation. This revision is proposed to 
adopt DOT-SP 13217. Based on our review, the fact the SP has no 
violations or reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the 
general applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its 
provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.150.
Section 173.151
    Section 173.151 provides exceptions for Class 4 materials. In this 
NPRM we are proposing to add new paragraph (e) that would except 
``Lithium, UN1415,'' ``Potassium, UN2257,'' and ``Sodium, UN1428,'' 
with a net quantity of material per inner packaging not exceeding 25 
grams, from the labeling requirements of Part 172, Subpart E and the 
placarding requirements of Part 172 Subpart F, if they are offered for 
transportation or transported in the packagings with conditions set 
forth in that paragraph. We are also establishing new paragraph (f) to 
authorize shipment of Self-heating solid, inorganic, n.o.s, in unlined, 
non-DOT specification multi-wall paper bags containing a maximum of 55 
pounds (net) weight. We are further adding new paragraph (g) to 
authorize Water reactive solid, n.o.s. (contains magnesium, magnesium 
nitrides) in Packing Group II or III to be contained in sift-proof bulk 
packagings. These revisions would adopt DOT-SP 11602, 13796, and 15373.
    DOT-SP 11602 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain 
Division 4.3 materials contained in sift-proof closed bulk packagings 
that prevent that prevent water from reaching the hazmat and have 
sufficient venting to preclude a dangerous accumulation of gaseous 
emissions. Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or 
reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the general 
applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its 
provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.151.
    DOT-SP 13796 authorizes the transportation in commerce of ``UN1381, 
Phosphorus, yellow, under water,'' in a 30 gallon UN 1A2 steel drum 
certified as a minimum to the PG I performance level for solids and the 
PG II performance level for liquids and as a minimum dual marked as a 
UN1A2/X400/S (for solid) and UN1A2 Y/1.4/150 (for liquids). Based on 
our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, 
and that its adoption would expand the general applicability in a safe 
manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in 
Sec.  173.151.
    DOT-SP 15373 authorizes the manufacture, mark, sale and use of the 
specially designed combination packagings described herein for 
transportation in commerce of ``UN1415, Lithium,'' ``UN2257, 
Potassium,'' and ``UN1428, Sodium8,'' without hazard labels or 
placards, with quantity limits not exceeding 25 grams.

[[Page 5424]]

Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported 
incidents, and adopting it would expand the general applicability in a 
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety 
in Sec.  173.151.
Section 173.154
    Section 173.154 provides exceptions for Class 8, corrosive 
materials. We are proposing to establish a new paragraph (b)(3) to 
authorize polyethylene bottles with rated capacities of one gallon 
(3.785 liters), packed inside an open-top, heavy wall, high density 
polyethylene box for shipping Packing Group II and III corrosives. We 
are also proposing to establish new paragraph (e) to authorize 
hydrochloric acid concentration not exceeding 38%, in Packing Group II 
to be contained in UN31H1 or UN31HH1 intermediate bulk containers when 
loaded in accordance with the requirements of Sec.  173.35(h). These 
revisions would adopt DOT-SP 6614, 12030, and 14137.
    DOT-SP 6614 authorizes the use of polyethylene bottles placed in a 
polyethylene crate for the transportation in commerce of ``Compounds, 
cleaning liquid (consisting of solutions containing potassium 
hydroxide, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid), NA1760, PG II or 
III,'' ``Corrosive liquid, basic, inorganic, n.o.s. (Potassium 
hydroxide), PG II, and Corrosive liquid, basic, inorganic, n.o.s. 
(Sodium hydroxide), PG II, UN3266,'' ``Corrosive liquid, acidic, 
inorganic, n.o.s. (Phosphoric acid and Nitric acid), UN3264, PG II'' 
``Corrosive liquid, acidic, organic, n.o.s. (Glycolic acid), UN3265, PG 
III'' ``Hypochlorite solutions, UN1791, PG III,'' ``Hydrochloric acid 
solution (with not over 32% strength), UN1789, PG II'' and ``Sulfuric 
acid (with not more than 51% acid), UN2796, PG II.'' PHMSA has on file 
sixty-seven violations related to shipments moving under DOT-SP 6614. 
However, the violations did not involve safety issues with the permit. 
We are proposing to adopt the permit, and extend it to all corrosive 
materials of Packing Groups II or III based on the history of no 
violations involving safety issues and no reported incidents.
    DOT-SP 12030 authorizes the transportation in commerce of a 
combination packaging with a maximum gross weight not over 37.0 kg, 
consisting of one UN6HG2 composite packaging containing battery fluid 
and one UN4G fiberboard box containing a dry storage battery. The 
UN6HG2 composite packaging has a maximum capacity of 8.0 liters and is 
marked as meeting the requirement for Packaging Group II. Based on our 
review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and 
adopting it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we 
are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in a new 
paragraph (f) in Sec.  173.154.
    DOT-SP 14137 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain 
hydrochloric acid solutions in UN31H1 or UN31HH1 when loaded in 
conformance with the requirements in Sec.  173.35(h) and the 
hydrochloric acid concentration does not exceed 38%. Based on our 
review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and 
adopting it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we 
are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.154.
Section 173.158
    Section 173.158 provides general requirements and exceptions for 
shipments and packagings of nitric acid. In this NPRM, we are proposing 
to establish a new paragraph (i) to authorize ``Nitric acid of up to 
40% concentration'' in a UN1H1 non-removable head plastic drums with 
certain conditions set forth in that paragraph and add new paragraph 
(j) for the transportation of ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming, 
with more than 70% nitric acid'' and ``Nitric acid, other than red 
fuming, with not more than 70% nitric acid'' in a combination packaging 
when offered for transportation or transported by rail, highway, or 
cargo vessel. These proposed revisions would adopt DOT-SP 8230 and 
14213.
    DOT-SP 8230 authorizes the transportation in commerce of Packing 
Groups I and II nitric acids in certain combination packagings by motor 
vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel and cargo-only aircraft. 
Specifically, ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming, with more than 70% 
nitric acid'' and ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming, with not more 
than 70% nitric acid'' is authorized to be transported in inner plastic 
bottles in rigid foam plastic receptacles or plastic bags lined 
absorbent material in outer packagings. Based on our review, the fact 
the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and adopting it would 
expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to 
adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.158.
    DOT-SP 14213 authorizes the manufacture, marking, sale and use of 
UN1H1 plastic drums to be used for the transportation in commerce of 
nitric acid with not more than 40% nitric acid. Based on our review, 
the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and adopting 
it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we are 
proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.158.
Section 173.159
    Section 173.159 provides packaging and shipping specifications and 
exceptions for wet batteries. We are proposing to revise paragraph (e) 
to include both shipments of electric storage batteries containing 
electrolyte or corrosive battery fluid, and electric storage batteries 
and battery acid. This change would adopt DOT-SP 13548.
    DOT-SP 13548 authorizes the transportation in commerce of lead acid 
batteries and packages of battery acid with two different UN numbers on 
the same motor vehicle with the packages secured against movement. 
Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported 
incidents, and adopting it would expand the general applicability in a 
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety 
in Sec.  173.159.
Section 173.181
    Section 173.181 sets forth packaging and shipping requirements for 
Pyrophoric materials (liquids). In this NPRM, we are proposing to add 
new paragraph (d) to authorize the transportation in commerce of 
certain pyrophoric materials in a combination package consisting of 
UN1A2 outer package and a UN1A1 inner package. This revision would 
adopt DOT-SP 12920.
    DOT-SP 12920 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain 
pyrophoric materials in a combination package consisting of UN1A2 outer 
package and a UN1A1 inner package, with no more than two (2) inner 
drums placed inside the outer drum. PHMSA has on file six violations 
related to shipments moving under DOT-SP 12920. However, the violations 
did not involve safety issues with the permit; rather, they pertained 
to non-compliance with the permit or the HMR. Based on our review, the 
fact the SP has no violations involving safety issues with the permit 
and no reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the general 
applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its 
provisions in its entirety in Sec.  173.181.

V. Regulatory Analyses and Notices

A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking

    This rulemaking is issued under the authority of the Federal 
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.). 
Section 5103(b) authorizes

[[Page 5425]]

the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe 
transportation, including security, of hazardous materials in 
intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. This rulemaking proposes 
adoption of certain special permits into the hazardous materials 
regulations.

B. Executive Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, Executive Order 13610, 
and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This proposed rulemaking is not considered a significant regulatory 
action under Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and 
Review''), as supplemented and reaffirmed by Executive Order 13563 
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review''), 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, and the Regulatory Policies and 
Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Executive 
Orders 12866 and 13563 require agencies to regulate in the ``most cost-
effective manner,'' to make a ``reasoned determination that the 
benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs,'' and to develop 
regulations that ``impose the least burden on society.''
    Executive Order 13610, issued May 10, 2012, urges agencies to 
conduct retrospective analyses of existing rules to examine whether 
they remain justified and whether they should be modified or 
streamlined in light of changed circumstances, including the rise of 
new technologies. By building off of each other, these three Executive 
Orders require agencies to regulate in the ``most cost-effective 
manner,'' to make a ``reasoned determination that the benefits of the 
intended regulation justify its costs,'' and to develop regulations 
that ``impose the least burden on society.''
    In this notice of proposed rulemaking, PHMSA is proposing to amend 
the HMR to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or long-
standing SPs that have an established safety record. The proposed 
revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory 
flexibility offered in SPs and eliminate the need for numerous renewal 
requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce 
while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. PHMSA assumes that 
for most regulated entities in these categories, the revisions proposed 
in this notice of proposed rulemaking requires little or no change to 
existing practice or behavior and incremental compliance costs will 
thus be close to zero. At the same time, the potential for additional 
safety benefits is also very limited in these cases, as existing 
practice and operations are already minimizing the number of incidents.
    Estimated benefits associated with this rule result from the 
regulated community no longer being required to apply for SP sand 
amount to approximately $12,000 annually. Costs associated with the 
rule are estimated to be negligible annually. Current SP holders are 
already complying with the proposed requirements and, if adopted, these 
requirements would not impose new requirements on current non-holders 
of SPs. The overall costs and benefits of the rule are dependent on the 
level of pre-existing compliance and the overall effectiveness of the 
new requirements specified in this rulemaking

C. Executive Order 13132

    This notice of proposed rulemaking has been analyzed in accordance 
with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132 
(``Federalism''), 64 FR 43255 (Aug. 10, 1999) and the President's May 
20, 2009 memorandum (74 FR 24693 [May 22, 2009]). The requirements in 
this proposed rule would preempt state, local, and Indian tribe 
requirements but would not have substantial direct effects on the 
States, the relationship between the national government and the 
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the 
various levels of government. Therefore, the consultation and funding 
requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
    The Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101 
et seq., contains an express preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) 
preempting State, local, and Indian tribe requirements on the following 
subjects:
    (1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous 
materials;
    (2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and 
placarding of hazardous materials;
    (3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents 
related to hazardous materials and requirements related to the number, 
contents, and placement of those documents;
    (4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the 
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or
    (5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, marking, maintenance, 
recondition, repair, or testing of a packaging or container 
represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in 
transporting hazardous material.
    Federal hazardous materials transportation law provides at 49 
U.S.C. 5125(b)(2) that, if DOT issues a regulation concerning any of 
these subjects, DOT must determine and publish in the Federal Register 
the effective date of Federal preemption. The effective date may not be 
earlier than the 90th day following the date of issuance of the final 
rule and not later than 2 years after the date of issuance.
    This proposed rule would address subject areas (1), (2), (3), and 
(5) above and would preempt any state, local, or Indian tribe 
requirements concerning these subjects unless the non-Federal 
requirements are ``substantively the same'' as the Federal 
requirements. The effective date of Federal preemption is April 30, 
2015.

D. Executive Order 13175

    This notice of proposed rulemaking has been analyzed in accordance 
with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 
(``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). 
Because this NPRM 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 
primary costs to small entities associated with this proposed rule 
include developing and updating a risk assessment, developing and 
updating operating procedures, and additional training for hazmat 
employees who perform loading and unloading operations.
    PHMSA expects the impacts of this rule will be limited for many 
small entities due to their compliance with other existing Federal 
regulations. In this notice of proposed rulemaking, PHMSA also 
explicitly acknowledges that many regulated entities are holders of SPs 
or are part of industry associations with voluntary codes of safe 
practice, and that these may be sufficient for compliance with the 
proposed rule as long as all of the relevant safety areas are addressed 
and documented. For regulated entities in

[[Page 5426]]

these categories, the notice of proposed rulemaking requires little or 
no change to existing practices or behavior and incremental compliance 
costs will thus be close to zero. Therefore, the benefit and cost 
figures discussed below should be viewed as upper bounds, both of which 
will be reduced by the extent of current practice.
    PHMSA estimates that there are 50 potentially affected small 
entities. The annualized documentation cost for developing and updating 
the risk assessment and the operating procedures is estimated to be 
$375/small entity. The annualized cost of additional training for 
affected employees is estimated to be approximately $5.50/employee. 
Further, PHMSA estimates that approximately 50% of small businesses are 
already implementing procedures that would be compliant with this 
notice of proposed rulemaking. Based upon the above estimates and 
assumptions, PHMSA certifies that this notice of proposed rulemaking 
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of 
small entities. Further information on the estimates and assumptions 
used to evaluate the potential impacts to small entities is available 
in the Regulatory Impact Assessment that has been placed in the public 
docket for this rulemaking.

F. Paperwork Reduction Act

    PHMSA currently has an approved information collection under OMB 
Control No. 2137-0051, entitled ``Special Permits and Approvals,'' 
expiring on May 31, 2015. Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal 
Regulations, requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public 
and affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information 
collection and recordkeeping requests. This rulemaking adds new 
exceptions to the HMR while eliminating the need for persons to apply 
for a SP, resulting in a decrease in burden. PHMSA estimates the 
reduction in information collection burden as follows:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
           OMB Control No. 2137-0051:               SPs and Approvals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decrease in Annual Number of Respondents:......                       98
Decrease in Annual Responses:..................                       98
Decrease in Annual Burden Hours:...............                      196
Decrease in Annual Burden Cost:................               $12,337.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------

    There are 728 grantees associated with the 98 special permits being 
proposed for adoption in this rulemaking. Over 10 years, a SP would on 
average be renewed twice, resulting in 1,456 renewals (728 x 2). The 
average number of applications per year would be approximately 146 
(1,456/10). The annual estimated cost savings would total $12,337.00 
(146 number of renewals per year x $39.50/hr. preparation cost; 146 
renewals per year x $45.00/hr compliance cost).
    Please direct your requests for a copy of this final information 
collection to Steven Andrews or T. Glenn Foster, Office of Hazardous 
Materials Standards (PHH-12), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety 
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 2nd Floor, Washington, DC 
20590-0001.

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 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 notice of proposed rulemaking does not impose unfunded 
mandates under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. PHMSA has 
concluded that the rule will not impose annual expenditures of $141.3 
million on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector, 
and thus does not require an Unfunded Mandates Act analysis.

I. 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 
in order to protect the safety of the American public, and we have 
assessed the effects of the proposed rule to ensure that it does not 
cause unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade. Accordingly, this 
rulemaking is consistent with E.O. 13609 and PHMSA's obligations under 
the Trade Agreement Act, as amended.

J. Environmental Assessment

    PHMSA proposes to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used 
or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record. The 
proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the 
regulatory flexibility offered in SPs and eliminate the need for 
numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and 
facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.
    The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321-4375, 
requires that federal agencies analyze proposed actions to determine 
whether the action will have a significant impact on the human 
environment. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations 
order federal agencies to conduct an environmental review considering 
(1) the need for the proposed action (2) alternatives to the proposed 
action (3) probable environmental impacts of the proposed action and 
alternatives and (4) the agencies and persons consulted during

[[Page 5427]]

the consideration process. 40 CFR 1508.9(b). A detailed NEPA assessment 
has been placed in the docket for this rulemaking for public review.

K. Privacy Act

    Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written

L. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 
U.S.C. 272 note) directs federal agencies to use voluntary consensus 
standards in their regulatory activities unless doing so would be 
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary 
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g. specification of 
materials, test methods, or performance requirements) that are 
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standard bodies.
    This proposed rulemaking does not involve voluntary consensus 
standards.

Sec.  173.306  Limited quantities of compressed gases.

    (a) Limited quantities of compressed gases for which exceptions are 
permitted as noted by reference to this section in Sec.  172.101 of 
this subchapter are excepted from labeling, except when offered for 
transportation or transported by air, and, unless required as a 
condition of the exception, specification packaging requirements of 
this subchapter when packaged in accordance with the following 
paragraphs. For transportation by aircraft, the package must conform to 
the applicable requirements of Sec.  173.27 of this subchapter and only 
packages of hazardous materials authorized aboard passenger-carrying 
aircraft may be transported as a limited quantity. In addition, 
shipments are not subject to subpart F (Placarding) of part 172 of this 
subchapter, to part 174 of this subchapter except Sec.  174.24, and to 
part 177 of this subchapter except Sec.  177.817. Each package may not 
exceed 30 kg (66 lbs.) gross weight.
    (1) When in containers of not more than 4 fluid ounces capacity 
(7.22 cubic inches or less) except cigarette lighters. Additional 
exceptions for certain compressed gases in limited quantities and the 
ORM-D hazard class are provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (2) When in refillable metal containers filled with a material that 
is not classed as a hazardous material to not more than 90% of capacity 
at 21.1 [deg]C (70[emsp14][deg]F) and then charged with nonflammable, 
nonliquefied gas. Each container must be tested to three times the 
pressure at 21.1 [deg]C (70[emsp14][deg]F) and, when refilled, be 
retested to three times the pressure of the gas at 21.1 [deg]C 
(70[emsp14][deg]F). Also, one of the following conditions must be met:
    (i) The container is not over 0.95 L (1 quart) capacity and charged 
to not more than 170 psig (1172.1 kPa) at 21.1 [deg]C 
(70[emsp14][deg]F), and must be packed in a strong outer packaging; or
    (ii) The container is not over 114 L (30 gallons) capacity and 
charged to not more than 75 psig (517.1 kPa) at 21.1 [deg]C 
(70[emsp14][deg]F).
    (3) When in a metal aerosol (see Sec.  171.8 of this subchapter for 
a definition of aerosol) container of a non-DOT specification, a DOT 
2P, a DOT 2Q, or a variation of a 2P or 2Q design, provided all of the 
following conditions are met. Additional exceptions for material in 
packaging conforming to this paragraph (a)(3) are provided in paragraph

    (i) Capacity. The capacity of the container must not exceed 1 L 
(61.0 cubic inches).
    (ii) General pressure conditions. The authorized metal aerosol 
containers and associated pressure limits are provided in the following 
table. The pressure in the container must not exceed 180 psig at 55 
[deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) except as may be authorized for variations 
of a DOT specification container type. In any event, the metal 
container must be capable of withstanding without bursting a pressure 
of at least one and one-half times the equilibrium pressure of the

    (iii) Liquid fill. The liquid content of the material and gas must 
not completely fill the container at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).
    (iv) Outer packaging. The containers must be packed in strong outer 
packagings.
    (v) Pressure testing. Each container, after it is filled, must be 
subjected to a test performed in a hot water bath; the temperature of 
the bath and the duration of the test must be such that the internal 
pressure reaches that which would be reached at 55 [deg]C 
(131[emsp14][deg]F), or 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid 
phase does not exceed 95% of the capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C 
(122[emsp14][deg]F)). If the contents are sensitive to heat, the 
temperature of the bath must be set at between 20 [deg]C 
(68[emsp14][deg]F) and 30 [deg]C (86[emsp14][deg]F) but, in addition, 
one container in 2,000 must be tested at the higher temperature. No 
leakage or permanent deformation of a container may occur. However, 
instead of this standard water bath test, container(s) may be tested 
using one of the following methods subject to certain conditions--
    (A) Alternative water bath test. (1) One filled container in a lot 
of 2,000 must be subjected to a test performed in a hot water bath; the 
temperature of the bath and the duration of the test must be such that 
the internal pressure reaches that which would be reached at 55 [deg]C 
(131[emsp14][deg]F). If the container shows evidence of leakage or 
permanent deformation, the lot of 2,000 containers must be rejected;
    (2) A second filled container in the lot of 2,000 must be weighed 
and compared to the weight specification for the containers as 
documented in the operating procedures for the weight test. Failure of 
the container to meet the weight specification is evidence of leakage 
or overfilling and the lot of 2,000 must be rejected;
    (3) The remainder of the containers in the lot of 2,000 must be 
visually inspected (e.g, examination of the seams). Containers showing 
evidence of leakage or overfilling must not be transported; and
    (4) Each person employing this test must maintain a copy of the 
operating procedures (or an electronic file thereof) that is accessible 
at, or through, its principal place of business and must make the 
procedures available upon request, at a reasonable time and location, 
to an authorized official of the Department of Transportation.
    (B) Automated pressure test. Each person employing an automated 
process for pressure testing of filled containers must develop 
procedures for implementation of the test. Each person must maintain a 
copy of the procedures (or an electronic file thereof) that is 
accessible at, or through, its principal place of business and must 
make the procedures available upon request, at a reasonable time and 
location, to an authorized official of the Department of 
Transportation. The procedures must, at a minimum, include instruction 
on the following:
    (1) Pressure specifications. Each person must specify pressure 
standard(s) (e.g. a pressure limit or range) for a container respective 
of the design and/or contents. Each container, after it is filled, must 
be pressure checked and compared to the standards. For a pressure 
limit, any container exceeding the pressure limit must be rejected. For 
a pressure range, any container outside of the set range must be 
rejected. The instruments used to determine the pressure must be 
properly calibrated before a production run to an accuracy of +/- or 
better; and
    (2) Periodic inspection. At designated intervals, a randomly 
selected container must be inspected for proper closure and 
verification of filling pressure. If a container shows signs of 
improper closure or over-filling, five (5) additional randomly selected 
containers must be inspected. If any of the additional containers show 
signs of improper closure or over-filling, all containers produced 
since the last inspection must be rejected.
    (C) Weight test. Each person employing a weight test of filled 
containers must develop procedures for implementation of the test. Each 
person must maintain a copy of the procedures (or an electronic file 
thereof) that is accessible at, or through, its principal place of 
business and must make the procedures available upon request, at a 
reasonable time and location, to an authorized official of the 
Department of Transportation. The procedures must, at a minimum, 
include instruction on the following:
    (1) Weight specifications. Each person must specify target weight 
specifications for a particular container. Each container, after it is 
filled, must be weighed and compared to the target weight specification 
for the container. Any container outside the target weight 
specification is an indication of leakage or overfilling and must be 
rejected. The instruments used to determine the weight must be properly 
calibrated before a testing run and be sufficiently sensitive to 
measure within 0.10 g of the true weight of the container;
    (2) Heat testing and pressure limits. One container out of each lot 
of successfully filled containers must be heat tested by raising the 
internal pressure until it reaches that which would be reached at 55 
[deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). The lot size should be no greater than 
2,000. If the pressure in the container exceeds the maximum pressure 
allowed for the container type or if the container shows signs of 
leakage or permanent deformation, the lot must be rejected. 
Alternatively, five (5) additional randomly selected containers from 
the lot may be tested to qualify the lot but if any of the five 
containers fail the test, the entire lot must be rejected;
    (3) Periodic inspection. At designated intervals, a randomly 
selected container must be inspected for proper closure and 
verification of filling pressure. If a container shows signs of 
improper closure or over-filling, five (5) additional randomly selected 
containers must be inspected. If any of the additional containers show 
signs of improper closure or over-filling, all containers produces 
since the last inspection must be rejected; and
    (4) Visual inspection. Each container must be visually inspected 
prior to being packaged. Any container showing signs of leakage or 
permanent deformation must be rejected.
    (D) Leakage test. (1) Pressure and leak testing before filling. 
Each empty container must be subjected to a pressure equal to or in 
excess of the maximum expected in the filled containers at 55 [deg]C 
(131[emsp14][deg]F) (or 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid 
phase does not exceed 95% of the capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C 
(122[emsp14][deg]F)). This must be at least two-thirds of the design 
pressure of the container. If any container shows evidence of leakage 
at a rate equal to or greater than 3.3 x 10-2 mbar L/s at the test 
pressure, distortion or other defect, it must be rejected; and
    (2) Testing after filling. The person filling each container must 
ensure that the crimping equipment is set appropriately and the 
specified propellant is used before filling a container. Once filled, 
each container must be weighed and leak tested. The leak detection 
equipment must be sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a leak rate 
of 2.0 x 10-3 mbar L/s at 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F). Any filled 
container which shows evidence of leakage, deformation, or overfilling 
must be rejected.
    (vi) Each outer packaging must be marked ``INSIDE CONTAINERS COMPLY 
WITH PRESCRIBED REGULATIONS.''
    (4) When in gas samples transported under the following conditions:
    (i) A gas sample may only be transported as non-pressurized gas 
when its pressure corresponding to ambient atmospheric pressure in the

[[Page 5441]]

container is not more than 105 kPa absolute (15.22 psia).
    (ii) Non-pressurized gases, toxic (or toxic and flammable) must be 
packed in hermetically sealed glass or metal inner packagings of not 
more than one L (0.3 gallons) overpacked in a strong outer packaging.
    (iii) Non-pressurized gases, flammable must be packed in 
hermetically sealed glass or metal inner packagings of not more than 5 
L (1.3 gallons) and overpacked in a strong outer packaging.
    (5) For limited quantities of Division 2.2 gases with no subsidiary 
risk, when in a plastic aerosol (see Sec.  171.8 of this subchapter for 
a definition of aerosol) container of a non-DOT specification or a DOT 
2S, provided all of the following conditions are met. Additional 
exceptions for material in packaging conforming to this paragraph 
(a)(5) are provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
    (i) Capacity. The capacity of the container must not exceed 1 L 
(61.0 cubic inches).
    (ii) General pressure conditions. The authorized plastic aerosol 
containers and associated pressure limits are provided in the following 
table. The pressure in the container must not exceed 160 psig at 55 
[deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) except as may be authorized for variations, 
if any, of a DOT specification container type. In any event, the metal 
container must be capable of withstanding without bursting a pressure 
of at least one and one-half times the equilibrium pressure of the 
contents at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).

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

    (iii) Liquid fill. Liquid content of the material and gas must not 
completely fill the container at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).
    (iv) Outer packaging. The containers must be packed in strong outer 
packagings.
    (v) Pressure testing. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(5)(vi) of 
this section, each container must be subjected to a test performed in a 
hot water bath; the temperature of the bath and the duration of the 
test must be such that the internal pressure reaches that which would 
be reached at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) or 50 [deg]C 
(122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid phase does not exceed 95% of the 
capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F). If the 
contents are sensitive to heat, or if the container is made of plastic 
material which softens at this test temperature, the temperature of the 
bath must be set at between 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F) and 30 [deg]C 
(86[emsp14][deg]F) but, in addition, one container in 2,000 must be 
tested at the higher temperature. No leakage or permanent deformation 
of a container may occur except that a plastic container may be 
deformed through softening provided that it does not leak.
    (vi) Leakage test. As an alternative to the hot water bath test in 
paragraph (a)(5)(v) of this section, testing may be performed as 
follows:
    (A) Pressure and leak testing before filling. Each empty container 
must be subjected to a pressure equal to or in excess of the maximum 
expected in the filled containers at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) (or 
50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid phase does not exceed 95% 
of the capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F). This 
must be at least two-thirds of the design pressure of the container. If 
any container shows evidence of leakage at a rate equal to or greater 
than 3.3 x 10-2 mbar L/s at the test pressure, distortion or other 
defect, it must be rejected; and
    (B) Testing after filling. Prior to filling, the filler must ensure 
that the crimping equipment is set appropriately and the specified 
propellant is used before filling the container. Once filled, each 
container must be weighed and leak tested. The leak detection equipment 
must be sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a leak rate of 2.0 x 
10-3 mbar L/s at 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F). Any filled container 
which shows evidence of leakage, deformation, or excessive weight must 
be rejected.
    (vii) Each outer packaging must be marked ``INSIDE CONTAINERS 
COMPLY WITH PRESCRIBED REGULATIONS.''
    (b) Exceptions for foodstuffs, soap, biologicals, electronic tubes, 
and audible fire alarm systems. Limited quantities of compressed gases 
(except Division 2.3 gases) for which exceptions are provided as 
indicated by reference to this section in Sec.  172.101 of this 
subchapter, when in accordance with one of the following paragraphs, 
are excepted from labeling, except when offered for transportation or 
transported by aircraft, and the specification packaging requirements 
of this subchapter. For transportation by aircraft, the package must 
conform to the applicable requirements of Sec.  173.27 of this 
subchapter and only packages of hazardous materials authorized aboard 
passenger-carrying aircraft may be transported as a limited quantity. 
In addition, shipments are not subject to subpart F (Placarding) of 
part 172 of this subchapter, to part 174 of this subchapter, except 
Sec.  174.24, and to part 177 of this subchapter, except Sec.  177.817. 
Additional exceptions for certain compressed gases in limited 
quantities and the ORM-D hazard class are provided in paragraph (i) of 
this section.
    (1) Foodstuffs or soaps with soluble or emulsified compressed gas 
are authorized in non-refillable metal or plastic containers not to 
exceed 1 L (61.0 cubic inches) provided the pressure does not exceed a 
pressure of 140 psig at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) except as may be 
authorized for variations DOT of a specification container type. For 
pressure greater than 140 psig to 160 psig, a 2P1 or 2Q2 may be used. 
In no case may the pressure of the contents be greater than 150 psig at 
75[emsp14][deg]F. Plastic containers must only contain Division 2.2 
non-flammable soluble or emulsified compressed gas. In any event, the 
metal or plastic container must be capable of withstanding, without 
bursting, a pressure of at least one and one-half times the equilibrium 
pressure of the contents at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).

    (2) Used refrigerating machines. (i) Packaging. Reconditioned 
(used) refrigerating machines (UN 2857, Div. 2.2) may be excepted from 
the marking requirements of Sec.  172.302(c) and transported by motor 
vehicle when they conform to the requirements prescribed in Sec.  
173.306(e)(1), are secured or permanently attached to the motor 
vehicle, and are:
    (A) Permanently affixed to a steel base structure,
    (B) Permanently affixed to a trailer, or
    (C) Manufactured with a rigid internal structure designed for 
transportation and stacking conditions such that they do not leak and 
do not deteriorate, distort, or become damaged in a manner that could 
adversely affect their safety or reduce their strength in 
transportation, cause instability in stacks of refrigerating machines, 
or cause damage to these machines in a way that is likely to reduce 
safety in transportation.
    (ii) Testing. Used refrigerating machines returned from their 
rental locations must be transported back to an authorized original

37. In Sec.  174.67, revise paragraph (g) to read as follows:


Sec.  174.67  Tank car unloading.

* * * * *
    (g) The valve cap, or the reducer when a large outlet is to be 
used, must be removed with a suitable wrench after the set screws are 
loosened and a pail must be placed in position to catch any liquid that 
may be in the outlet chamber. If the valve cap or reducer does not 
unscrew easily, it may be tapped lightly with a mallet or wooden block 
in an upward direction. If leakage shows upon starting the removal, the 
cap or reducer may not be entirely unscrewed. Sufficient threads must 
be left engaged and sufficient time allowed to permit controlled escape 
of any accumulation of liquid in the outlet chamber. If the leakage 
stops or the rate of leakage diminishes materially, the cap or reducer 
may be entirely removed. If the initial rate of leakage continues, 
further efforts must be made to seat the outlet valve (see paragraph 
(f) of this section). If this fails, the cap or reducer must be screwed 
up tight and the tank must be unloaded through the dome. If upon 
removal of the outlet cap the outlet chamber is found to be blocked 
with frozen liquid or any other matter, the cap must be replaced 
immediately and a careful examination must be made to determine whether 
the outlet casting has been cracked. If the obstruction is not frozen 
liquid, the car must be unloaded through the dome. If the obstruction 
is frozen liquid and no crack has been found in the outlet casting, the 
car may, if circumstances require it, be unloaded from the bottom by 
removing the cap and attaching unloading connections immediately. 
Before opening the valve inside the tank car with a frozen liquid 
blockage:
    (1) Steam must be applied to the outside of the outlet casting or 
wrap casting with burlap or other rags and apply hot water to the 
wrapped casting to melt the frozen liquid; or
    (2) For combustible liquid or Class 3 liquid petroleum distillate 
fuels the blockage may be cleared by attaching a fitting to the outlet 
line and applying nitrogen at a pressure of 50 to 100 psi.

recreational vehicle, camper, or trailer; are excepted from the 
requirements of this subchapter if the following conditions are met:
    (1) Any container showing deterioration which might affect its 
integrity must not be allowed on board the vessel. A visual inspection 
by a responsible member of the crew must be made of each cylinder of 
liquefied petroleum gas before it may be allowed aboard the vessel. A 
cylinder that has a crack or leak, is bulged, has a defective valve or 
a leaking or defective pressure relief device, or bears evidence of 
physical abuse, fire or heat damage, or detrimental rusting or 
corrosion, may not offered for transportation on board the vessel. 
Leaking or damaged containers of gasoline may not be offered for 
transportation on board the vessel.
    (2) Motor vehicles may be stowed in the same hold or compartment or 
on the vehicle deck of passenger vessels with cylinders of liquefied 
petroleum gas when the cylinders are securely attached to recreational 
vehicles, such as campers or trailers.
    (3) Extra containers of gasoline (including camp stove or lantern 
fuel) and portable cylinders of liquefied petroleum gas (including 
cylinders for camping equipment) not securely attached to recreational 
vehicles must be stowed in the vessel's paint locker. Containers must 
be securely closed.
    (4) All liquefied petroleum gas cylinders must be secured by 
closing the shut-off valves prior to the recreational vehicles being 
loaded on the vessels. The owner or operator of each recreational 
vehicle must be directed to close all operating valves within the 
vehicles.
    (5) ``No smoking'' signs must be posted on the vehicle decks and, 
if used for storage of hazardous materials; in close proximity to the

    (a) Manufacture. Side seams: Not permitted. Ends: The ends shall be 
designed to withstand pressure and be equipped with a pressure relief 
system (e.g., rim-venting release or a dome expansion device) designed 
to function prior to bursting of the container.
    (b) Tests. (1) One out of each lot of 25,000 containers or less, 
successively produced per day complete with ends assembled (and without 
a pressure relief system assembled) shall be pressure tested to 
destruction at gauge pressure and must not burst below 240 psig. For 
containers with a pressure relief system as described in paragraph (a) 
of this section and assembled, it must function at not less than 175 
psig and not greater than 85% of the minimum design burst pressure for 
that container (minimum 240 psig). Failure at a location other than the 
pressure relief system will reject the lot.
    (2) Each such 25,000 containers or less, successively produced per 
day, shall constitute a lot and if the test container(s) shall fail, 
the lot shall be rejected. For containers with an end expansion device, 
the lot must be rejected if the container bursts prior to buckling of 
the device. Otherwise, ten (10) additional containers of each container 
design produced may be selected at random and subjected to the test. 
These containers shall be complete with ends assembled. Should any of
