International Standards or Mr. Shane 

Kelley, International Transportation 

Specialist, Office of Hazardous 

Materials Safety, Department of 

Transportation, Washington, DC 20590; 

(202) 366–0656. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

primary purpose of this meeting will be 

to prepare for the 34th session of the 

UNSCOE TDG and to discuss draft U.S. 

positions on UNSCOE proposals. The 

34th session of the UNSCOE TDG is the 

final meeting in the current biennium 

cycle. The UNSCOE will consider 

proposals for the 16th Revised Edition 

of the United Nations Recommendations 

on the Transport of Dangerous Goods 

Model Regulations which will come 

into force in the international 

regulations from January 1, 2011. Topics 

to be covered during the public 

meetings include: 

Transport of limited quantities and 

consumer commodities, use of 

electronic documentation, requirements 

for toxic by inhalation liquids, 

requirements for cryogenic receptacles, 

requirements for lithium batteries, 

fumigated units and dry ice, 

harmonization with the IAEA 

Regulations for the safe transport of 

radioactive materials, guiding principles 

for the development of the Model 

Regulations, and various proposals 

related to listing, classification, 

packaging, and hazard communication. 

In addition, PHMSA is soliciting 

comments on how to further enhance 

harmonization for international 

transport of hazardous materials. 

PHMSA is finalizing an international 

strategic plan to address harmonization 

and welcomes input on items which 

stakeholders believe should be included 

in this plan. 

Finally, PHMSA is soliciting 

comments regarding a potential future 

rulemaking action regarding the use of 

international regulations, in particular 

the International Civil Aviation 

Organization’s Technical Instructions 

for the Safe Transport of Dangerous 

Goods by Air (ICAO TI) and the 

International Maritime Dangerous 

Goods Code (IMDG Code). PHMSA is 

considering proposing to mandate the 

use of these regulations for the 

international transportation (see 49 CFR 

171.8) of hazardous materials by aircraft 

or vessel. PHMSA requests comments 

regarding this prospective proposal. 

PHMSA is interested in comments 

including, but not limited to, comments 

related to the safety and economic 

implications of mandating the use of 

these regulations for international 

shipments, as well as implications to 

training of personnel. 

The public is invited to attend 

without prior notification. Due to the 

heightened security measures 

participants are encouraged to arrive 

early to allow time for security checks 

necessary to obtain access to the 

building. Following the 34th session of 

the UNSCOE TDG to present the results 

of the session, PHMSA will place a copy 

of the Sub-Committee’s report and an 

updated copy of the pre-meeting 

summary document on PHMSA’s
