50776 " Federal Register / Vol. 44,-No. 169-/ WednesdayrAugust 29,-1979 /Rule s -and Regulationsare adequately identified by existing PART 117—DETERMINATION OF 

-tariffs. Thus, in some circumstances, . . REPORTABLE QUANTITIES FOR 

• 'JSJX'CA'^O^ carriers may-have nomeans of:—HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES 

determining'when they are transporting! " 

hazardous substances. In other words, . 

common carriers mav not refuse to " 

accept a shipment which may contain 

unidentified hazardous substances, nor 

could they report a spill of a hazardous 

substanceunless they had knowledge of 

its presence. 

Private and contract carriers, on the 

other hand, may request the shipper to 

identify any shipments containing 

hazardous substances, and may then 

elect either to transport or to refuse to 

. do so. In any case, they have the means 

to determine if hazardous substances 

are on board, and thus the ability to take 

actions to prevent a spill, and the • 

knowledge to report a spill should it 

' 'occur. Therefore, these regulations will 

be applicable in thirty days to the 

discharge of hazardous'substanccs 

transported under private or contract 

carriage. .. ._.'•. . 

With respect to common carriers, 

tariff changes can be accomplished by 

the common carriers themselves. Since -

designation of hazardous substances 

was promulgated six months ago, it is%-

anticipated that common carriers have 

already taken steps to initiate 

appropriate tariff changes. Therefore, 

the A'gency expects that these tariff 

changes can be made effective within 

four (4) months. EPA will-publish notice .. . .. . .•^•-. , __..., — r-r

deferral of effective date for certain
