I. Executive Summary 

In this final rule, PHMSA is amending 

the Hazardous Materials Regulations 

(HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–180) to 

incorporate changes adopted in the 

IMDG Code, the ICAO Technical 

Instructions, and the UN Model 

Regulations, effective January 1, 2015. 

These changes ensure the domestic 

hazard classification, hazard 

communication and packaging 

requirements are consistent with those 

employed throughout the world. 

Federal law and policy strongly favor 

the harmonization of domestic and 

international standards for hazardous 

materials transportation. The Federal 

hazardous materials transportation law 

(Federal hazmat law; 49 U.S.C. 5101 et 

seq.) directs PHMSA to participate in 

relevant international standard-setting 

bodies and encourages alignment of the 

HMR with international transport 

standards to the extent practicable while 

recognizing that deviations may at times 

be necessary to be consistent with the 

public interest (see 49 U.S.C. 5120). 

Harmonization facilitates international 

trade by minimizing the costs and other 

burdens of complying with multiple or 

inconsistent safety requirements for 

transportation of hazardous materials. 

Harmonization has also become 

increasingly important as the volume of 

hazardous materials transported in 

international commerce grows. Safety is 

often enhanced by creating a uniform 

framework for compliance. PHMSA 

actively participates in relevant 

international standard-setting bodies 

and promotes the adoption of standards 

consistent with the high safety 

standards set by the HMR. 

The foreign trade of chemicals is a 

large segment of the United States 

economy. In 2000, U.S. foreign trade in 

chemicals totaled $154 billion and 

generated a $6 billion positive trade 

balance. The consistency of regulations 

reduces regulatory compliance costs and 

helps to avoid costly frustrations of 

international shipments. PHMSA’s 

continued leadership in maintaining 

consistency with international 

regulations enhances the hazardous 

materials safety program and assists in 

maintaining a favorable trade balance. 

II. Background 

PHMSA published a notice of 

proposed rulemaking (NPRM) under 

Docket HM–215M (79 FR 50741, August 

25, 2014) to incorporate various 

amendments to harmonize the HMR 

with recent changes to the UN Model 

Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the 

ICAO Technical Instructions. When 

considering alignment of the HMR with 

international standards, we review and 

evaluate each amendment on its own 

merit, on the basis of its overall impact 

on transportation safety, and on the 

basis of the economic implications 

associated with its adoption into the 

HMR. Our goal is to harmonize without 

diminishing the level of safety currently 

provided by the HMR or imposing 

undue burdens on the regulated 

community. 

Based on this review and evaluation, 

in this final rule, PHMSA is amending 

the HMR to incorporate changes from 

the 18th Revised Edition of the UN 

Model Regulations, Amendment 37–14 

to the IMDG Code, and the 2015–2016 

ICAO Technical Instructions, which 

become effective January 1, 2015 (The 

IMDG Code is effective January 1, 2015; 

however, Amendment 36–12 may 

continue to be used until January 1, 

2016). Notable amendments to the HMR 

in this final rule include the following: 

• Updating references to international 

regulations including the ICAO 

Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, 

the UN Model Regulations, the UN 

Manual of Tests and Criteria the 

Canadian Transportation of Dangerous 

Goods Regulations and various 

technical standards. 

• Adding, revising, or removing 

certain proper shipping names, hazard 

classes, packing groups, special 

provisions, packaging authorizations, 

bulk packaging requirements, and 

passenger and cargo aircraft maximum 

quantity limits from the Hazardous 

Materials Table (HMT). 

• Adopting an exception from the 

HMR for marine pollutants up to 5 L 

(1.3 gal) for liquids or 5 kg (11 lbs.) for 

solids when these materials are 

packaged in accordance with the general 

packaging requirements of §§ 173.24 

and 173.24a. These exceptions are 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the 

ICAO TI.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1077 

1Comments which were outside the scope of this 

rulemaking are not addressed in this final rule. 

• Modifying the list of marine 

pollutants in Appendix B to § 172.101. 

• Adding minimum sizes for the 

OVERPACK and SALVAGE markings. 

• Revising and adding vessel stowage 

codes listed in column 10B of the HMT 

and segregation requirements in 

§ 176.83 consistent with the IMDG 

Code. 

• Adsorbed gases: Adopting new 

entries into the HMR; adding a 

definition; authorizing packagings; and 

adding safety requirements including 

quantity limitations and filling limits. 

• Harmonizing with the latest version 

of the ICAO TI to ensure that the 

information currently authorized by the 

HMR to be provided by means of an 

alternative document be included on a 

shipping paper for batteries transported 

under the provisions of 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) equivalent to Section 

IB of ICAO TI Packing Instructions 965 

and 968. PHMSA is also harmonizing 

with the latest version of the ICAO TI 

by requiring a ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT 

ONLY’’ label on packages containing 

small lithium metal batteries not packed 

in or with equipment. 

• Amending the HMR definition of 

non-bulk packaging by adding a new 

paragraph (4) to include bags and boxes 

conforming to the applicable 

requirements for specification 

packagings in subpart L of part 178 of 

this subchapter, if they have a 

maximum net mass of 400 kg (882 

pounds) or less.

Below is a listing of major 

amendments to the international 

transportation regulations that we 

proposed for adoption into the HMR, a 

brief synopsis of the comments we 

received regarding those proposals, and 

PHMSA’s position regarding the 

comments. Additional comments are 

addressed in the section-by-section 

analysis section.1

Incorporation by Reference 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to 

incorporate by reference the latest 

editions of various international 

transport standards including the 2015– 

2016 ICAO TI, Amendment 37–14 of the 

IMDG Code, the 18th Revised Edition of 

the UN Model Regulations, the 

International Atomic Energy Agency 

Safety Standards for Protecting People 

and the Environment; Regulations for 

the Safe Transport of Radioactive 

Material, No. SSR–6, and the Canadian 

Transportation of Dangerous Goods 

Regulations. Finally, PHMSA proposed 

the incorporation by reference of new 

and updated standards published by the 

International Organization for 

Standardization (ISO). PHMSA received 

general support from the commenters on 

the principle of harmonizing the U.S. 

regulations with international transport 

and technical standards. We did not 

receive any comments that opposed our 

proposals to incorporate these standards 

and will adopt them in this final rule. 

Exceptions for Marine Pollutants 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to 

add a new exception from the HMR to 

§ 171.4 for marine pollutants up to 5 L 

(1.3 gallons) for liquids or 5 kg (11 lbs) 

for solids when these materials are 

packaged in accordance with the general 

packaging requirements of §§ 173.24 

and 173.24a. 

PHMSA received comments from 

Gregory Sutherland, DGAC, IVODGA, 

and COSTHA concerning our proposed 

amendments to this section. General 

support for the harmonization effort was 

provided by COSTHA, IVODGA, and 

DGAC. 

Mr. Sutherland asks if the intent of 

the proposal was to eliminate limited 

quantity and excepted quantity 

shipments of marine pollutants, and 

further asks why anyone would offer a 

marine pollutant as a limited or 

excepted quantity with the new 

exception in place. PHMSA is not 

proposing to remove the ability to offer 

marine pollutants as limited or excepted 

quantities, but does agree with the 

commenter that the vast majority of 

shippers of limited or excepted quantity 

amounts of marine pollutants will 

choose to utilize the new exception 

instead of existing limited or excepted 

quantity provisions. Mr. Sutherland 

notes that as proposed there would be 

no restriction on the number of 5 L 

containers that are permitted in a 

combination package, so a package 

containing four 5 L bottles would 

contain 20 L of non-regulated marine 

pollutants, but a 10 L jerrican would be 

fully regulated. Mr. Sutherland is 

correct. There is no limit to the number 

of up to 5 L or 5 kg single or inner 

packagings that may be placed inside of 

a package under the conditions of the 

exception. Lastly, Mr. Sutherland notes 

that as proposed there would be no 

requirement to mark a freight container 

with the large marine pollutant marking 

even if that freight container contains 

nothing but packages of excepted 

marine pollutants. Mr. Sutherland is 

correct. If the shipments of marine 

pollutants are below the provided 

quantity thresholds per inner or single 

packaging and meet the applicable 

general packaging provisions no 

marking would be required on a cargo 

transport unit, regardless of the number 

of packages being offered under the 

exception.

1078 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

2 Incident data can be accessed at https://hazmat

online.phmsa.dot.gov/IncidentReportsSearch/. 

DGAC noted that they believe the 

language in the proposed paragraph 

(c)(l) could be clarified, as a partial 

reading could imply that single or inner 

packagings of 5 L or 5 kg of any material 

are excepted from the HMR. PHMSA 

agrees. The wording of the proposed 

exception is not clear enough to indicate 

that all shipments of marine pollutants 

meeting the quantity thresholds and 

general packaging provisions can utilize 

the exception assuming they are not also 

hazardous substances or hazardous 

wastes. The use of the exception for 

single or inner packagings of 5 L or 5 kg 

or less is not limited to materials offered 

under the UN identification numbers 

UN 3077 and UN 3082, but would also 

apply to marine pollutants that meet the 

definition of other hazard classes (i.e. 

paints or n.o.s. entries that meet the 

definition of more than one hazard 

class). PHMSA is amending the 

exception in 171.4 for clarification. 

IVODGA, while providing general 

support for harmonization on this issue, 

notes the reporting requirements under 

the International Convention for the 

Prevention of Pollution from Ships 

(MARPOL) and the Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) Vessel’s 

General Permit (VGP) Plan requirements 

and has some concern regarding the 

vessel operator’s ability to identify these 

marine pollutants. Vessel owners or 

operators may be caught in a situation 

where they are transporting materials 

which may be excepted from various 

transport requirements, but still require 

reporting under domestic and 

international mandates. IVODGA states 

that some consideration of these 

reporting requirements should be 

addressed since these substances in 

small packages still represent a hazard 

if spilled from or on a vessel during 

operational phases especially when 

transported in container load quantities. 

PHMSA asserts that excepting up to 5 

L for liquids and 5 kg for solids provides 

significant benefit to the shipper and 

aligns with requirements of other modes 

of transportation and international 

regulations. EPA’s VGP Plan regulates 

discharges incidental to normal 

operations. Reporting requirements 

under the VGP Plan are for reportable 

quantities of substances as listed in 

Appendix A in 49 CFR 172.101, and 

does not cover marine pollutants. 

PHMSA data over the past 10 years 

contains just one record of a marine 

pollutant released on a vessel.2

Furthermore, that one incident involved 

a 55 gallon drum which would not be 

impacted by the proposed amendment. 

National Response Center (NRC) 

incident reporting since 2009 shows 415 

initial reports to the NRC involving 

containership during that period. 78 of 

those reports involved leaking 

containers on deck, with 5 of the leaks 

reaching the water. Thirteen of those 

reports involved the loss of containers 

or pallets over the side. None of the 

incidents over the time period involved 

marine pollutants that would be 

excepted as a result of this final rule. 

Modification of Marine Pollutant List in 

Appendix B to § 172.101 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed the 

addition of 62 new entries consistent 

with the IMDG Code and removing the 

entry ‘‘Chlorotoluenes (meta-;para-)’’ 

based on its removal from the IMDG 

Code. 

PHMSA received two comments from 

the ACC regarding our proposed 

addition of dodecene, to the list of 

marine pollutants. In its first comment, 

the ACC requests a 30 day extension of 

the comment period to better 

understand ‘‘dodecene’s place on other 

lists referenced in the proposed rule.’’ 

ACC notes that it would use the time to 

coordinate with industry to better 

understand the information contained 

in the dodecene Regulation on 

Registration, Evaluation, Authorization 

and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) 

dossiers. PHMSA is denying the ACC’s 

request for a 30 day extension of the 

comment period for this rulemaking as 

the revision to include dodecene in the 

Marine Pollutant List is consistent with 

our standard practice of aligning 

Appendix B with the indicative list of 

marine pollutants found in the IMDG 

Code. In its second comment, the ACC 

notes that the use of the name 

‘‘dodecene’’ in both the IMDG Code and 

PHMSA’s proposed rule makes it 

unclear exactly what substance is being 

regulated. When manufactured, 

dodecene may represent a number of 

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

numbers and different chemical 

properties. In other words, this single 

description of dodecene may not reflect 

what ACC panel members currently 

manufacture and ship. The ACC also 

notes that the REACH registration of a 

close analog of dodecene, 1-dodecene/

dodec-1-ene, indicates that dodecene 

would not meet the criteria of a Marine 

Pollutant, as set forth in the PHMSA 

list, based on aquatic toxicity data. The 

REACH dossier indicates ‘‘conclusive 

but not sufficient for classification’’ on 

both acute and chronic environmental 

categories associated with this 

compound. The inclusion of all entries 

proposed for addition in the NPRM was 

thoroughly vetted by several subcommittees of the International 

Maritime Organization prior to adoption 

into amendment 37–14 of the IMDG 

Code. The Group of Experts on the 

Scientific Aspects of Marine 

Environmental Protection (GESAMP) 

data assigns all dodecene isomers a B1 

numerical rating of 4. This rating of 4 

indicates acute aquatic toxicity, and 

thus merits inclusion of dodecene (all 

isomers) to the list of marine pollutants 

in Appendix B to § 172.101. 

Adsorbed Gas HMT Entries 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to 

revise the Hazardous Materials Table 

(HMT) in § 172.101 to include seventeen 

new entries for adsorbed gases 

consistent with amendments adopted 

into the UN Model Regulations. We also 

proposed to add into the HMR a 

definition, authorized packagings, and 

safety requirements including quantity 

limitations and filling limits. 

PHMSA received three comments 

from COSTHA, DGAC, and Entegris 

noting that the entry for ‘‘Arsine, 

adsorbed’’ was not added to the HMT in 

the NPRM as intended. As a result, 

PHMSA is adding the entry ‘‘UN3522, 

Arsine, adsorbed’’ to the HMT. Entegris 

also provided comment suggesting that 

§ 173.302c cannot be referenced in the 

HMT as a packaging instruction for bulk 

shipments of adsorbed gases, as there is 

no internationally accepted standard or 

authorization for bulk receptacles 

containing such gases. PHMSA agrees 

with the Entegris comment that bulk 

packagings for adsorbed gases are not 

presently authorized. As a result, 

PHMSA is revising Column (8C) of the 

HMT for the Adsorbed gas entries to 

indicate ‘‘None.’’ 

In addition, Entegris and COSTHA 

requested that PHMSA incorporate 

provisions for the use of DOT 

specification cylinders to transport 

adsorbed gasses. PHMSA agrees with 

the commenters that appropriate 

provisions for the use of DOT cylinders 

should be considered. However this 

action was not proposed in the NPRM. 

Continued transportation of adsorbed 

gases is provided for under the 

provisions of Special Permit 14237 and 

PHMSA will consider inclusion of DOT 

specification cylinder authorizations 

under a future rulemaking. 

Lithium Battery Harmonization 

Proposals 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed 

harmonization with the latest version of 

the ICAO TI to ensure that the 

information currently authorized by the 

HMR, to be provided by means of an 

alternative document, be included on a 

shipping paper for batteries transported 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1079 

under the provisions of 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) which is equivalent to 

Section IB of ICAO TI Packing 

Instructions 965 and 968. PHMSA 

specifically requested input as to the 

costs and benefits of harmonizing the 

provisions of the HMR with the 

provisions of the ICAO TI by requiring 

shipping papers as opposed to 

alternative documentation. PHMSA 

received comments from UPS and 

Alaska Airlines concerning removal of 

the alternative document. UPS 

supported our proposed change to the 

documentation requirement for 

packages containing smaller lithium 

batteries transported in accordance with 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v). UPS also commented 

that the proposal to introduce a 

shipping paper requirement for 

shipments offered under 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) could be interpreted 

to conflict with the statement in the 

preceding paragraph § 173.185(c) in that 

such shipments are excepted from the 

requirements in subparts C through H of 

part 172. UPS suggests that § 173.185(c) 

should be clarified in this regard. We 

agree clarification is warranted. Alaska 

Airlines commented that it would like 

to see increased harmonization between 

the HMR and the ICAO TI with regard 

to the documentation required while 

stating there is no reason to deviate from 

the ICAO TI. We agree, and note that the 

amendments proposed do provide for 

such consistency. 

Taking into account the comments 

from Alaska Airlines, PHMSA 

confirmed that the proposed 

amendments align with the 

requirements of the ICAO TI with regard 

to documentation. However, based on 

the comment from UPS, in this final 

rule PHMSA is revising 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) as suggested by UPS 

for clarity. This editorial amendment 

will clarify that packages offered in 

accordance with § 173.185(c)(4)(v) are 

subject to the shipping paper 

requirements of subpart C of Part 172. 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed 

revision of § 173.185(c)(1)(iii) to 

harmonize with the latest version of the 

ICAO TI by providing the option to use 

a ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ label or 

the existing HMR marking requirement 

on packages containing small lithium 

metal batteries excluding those packed 

with or contained in equipment. 

PHMSA received comments from UPS 

and COSTHA in support of the 

proposal. UPS commented that the 

provision in this paragraph excepting 

lithium metal cells or batteries packed 

with or contained in equipment in 

quantities ‘‘less than 5 kg net weight’’ 

from the § 173.185(c)(1)(iii) marking 

requirement differs slightly in wording 

from the current ICAO TI and previous 

requirements of the HMR. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising 

§ 173.185(c)(1)(iii) as proposed in the 

NPRM with an additional editorial 

revision to clarify that lithium metal 

cells or batteries packed with or 

contained in equipment in quantities 

‘‘not exceeding’’ as opposed to ‘‘less 

than’’ 5 kg net weight are not subject to 

the marking or ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT 

ONLY’’ label requirement. This 

provides editorial consistency with the 

provisions of the ICAO TI. 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to 

amend the lithium battery requirements 

by authorizing use of a large packaging 

for a single large lithium battery or 

batteries contained in equipment. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

COSTHA in support of this proposal. 

Definition of Non-Bulk Packaging 

To harmonize with the 18th Revised 

Edition of the UN Model Regulations, in 

the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to amend 

the definition of non-bulk packaging in 

§ 171.8 to include a bag or box having 

a capacity of greater than 450 liters (119 

gallons) provided the net mass of the 

bag or box is 400 kg (882 pounds) or 

less. PHMSA received comments from 

Key Safety Systems, RIPA, TK Holdings 

Inc., and TRW Automotive in support of 

this proposal. However, RIPA 

conditioned their support on the 

presumption that the references to 

‘‘bag’’ and ‘‘box’’ in the definition do 

limit users to all the conditions 

stipulated in subpart L of part 178. For 

example, the standard for each of the 

different bags provided in subpart L of 

part 178 imposes a maximum net mass 

limitation of 50 kg (110 pounds). 

PHMSA agrees that the text proposed in 

the revised definition of non-bulk 

packaging requiring the bag or box to 

conform to all applicable requirements 

for the specification packagings in 

subpart L of part 178 should be clarified 

and has revised the definition to include 

that the packaging may not exceed the 

maximum net mass limitation provided 

in subpart L of part 178. 

Vessel Stowage and Segregation 

Changes 

In the NPRM, PHMSA proposed to 

revise and add vessel stowage codes 

listed in column 10B of the HMT and 

segregation requirements in § 176.83 

consistent with the IMDG Code. These 

changes harmonize the HMR with the 

IMDG Code and provide additional 

guidance on the loading and stowage of 

various materials. Additionally, we 

proposed to increase the required 

segregation distances between Division 

4.3 dangerous when wet material (i.e. 

materials liable to give off a flammable 

or toxic gas in contact with water) and 

Class 3 flammable liquids and Division 

2.1 flammable gases. PHMSA received a 

comment from IVODGA providing 

general support for this harmonization 

effort. 

V. Section-by-Section Review 

The following is a section-by-section 

review of the amendments adopted in 

this final rule: 

Part 171 

Section 171.4 

Section 171.4 prohibits the 

transportation of materials meeting the 

definition of a marine pollutant except 

in accordance with HMR requirements. 

Paragraph (c) provides that marine 

pollutants transported in non-bulk 

packagings are excepted from the HMR 

unless the transportation is by vessel. 

PHMSA is adding a new exception from 

the HMR for marine pollutants up to 5 

L (1.3 gallons) for liquids or 5 kg (11 

pounds) for solids when these materials 

are packaged in accordance with the 

general packaging requirements of 

§§ 173.24 and 173.24a. This 

amendment, applicable to all modes, 

exempts small packages of hazardous 

material from the HMR that are 

regulated only because of the presence 

of one or more marine pollutants. 

Comments received on this issue are 

discussed in detail in the Section IV 

‘‘Comment Discussion’’ portion of this 

final rule. As a result of comments from 

DGAC, PHMSA is amending the 

exception in 171.4 to indicate that the 

use of the exception for single or inner 

packagings of 5 L or 5 kg or less is not 

limited to materials offered under the 

UN identification numbers UN 3077 and 

UN 3082, but also applies to marine 

pollutants that meet the definition of 

other hazard classes (i.e. paints or 

N.O.S. entries that meet the definition of 

more than one hazard class). 

Section 171.7 

Section 171.7 provides a listing of all 

standards incorporated by reference into 

the HMR. For this rulemaking, we 

evaluated updated international 

consensus standards pertaining to 

proper shipping names, hazard classes, 

packing groups, special provisions, 

packaging authorizations, air transport 

quantity limitations, and vessel stowage 

requirements and determined that the 

revised standards provide an enhanced 

level of safety without imposing 

significant compliance burdens. These 

standards have a well-established and 

documented safety history and their 

adoption will maintain the high safety 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1080 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

standard currently achieved under the 

HMR. Therefore, we are adding and 

revising the incorporation by reference 

materials under the following 

organizations: 

Paragraph (s)(1) which incorporates 

the International Atomic Energy Agency 

(IAEA) Regulations for the Safe 

Transport of Radioactive Material 1996 

edition is revised to incorporate the 

SSR–6 2012 Edition. The SSR–6 2012 

Edition is replacing TS–R–1 (ST–1, 

Revised) 1996 Edition to address 

concerns over domestic and 

international differences in the transport 

conditions applicable to shipments of 

excepted fissile materials, PHMSA is 

adding additional requirements to 

§ 171.23 to ensure domestic concerns 

are addressed. Please see the discussion 

in the Section-by-Section Review under 

§ 171.23 for a summary of changes. 

Paragraph (t)(1) which incorporates 

the International Civil Aviation 

Organization Technical Instructions for 

the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods 

by Air, 2013–2014 Edition is revised to 

incorporate the 2015–2016 Edition. 

Paragraph (v)(2), which incorporates 

the International Maritime Organization 

International Maritime Dangerous 

Goods Code, 2012 Edition, 

Incorporating Amendment 36–12, 

English Edition, Volumes 1 and 2, is 

revised to incorporate the 2014 Edition, 

Amendment 37–14. 

In paragraph (w) various International 

Organization for Standardization (ISO) 

entries which contain standards for the 

specifications, design, construction, 

testing and use of gas cylinders are 

incorporated by reference. ISO 9809– 

1:2010 (E), ISO 9809–2:2010 (E), ISO 

9809–3:2010 (E), ISO 10297:1999 (E), 

ISO 11114–1:2012 (E), ISO 

11117:1998(E), and ISO 11513:2011(E) 

are added. 

In paragraph (bb)(1), the Transport 

Canada, Transportation of Dangerous 

Goods Regulations, including Clear 

Language Amendments 1 through 7 subparagraphs (ix), (x), (xi), and (xii), are 

added to include Amendment 8 (SOR/ 

2011–239) which was published on 

November 9, 2011; Amendment 9 (SOR/ 

2011–60) published March 16, 2011; 

Amendment 10 (SOR/2011–210) 

published October 12, 2011; and 

Amendment 11 (SOR/2012–245) 

published December 5, 2012 

respectively. In the preamble of our 

January 7, 2013 final rule (HM215–L [78 

FR 987]) we indicated we were adopting 

Amendments 8, 9 and 10 of the 

Transportation of Dangerous Goods 

Regulations, however this adoption 

inadvertently did not appear in the 

published regulatory text. To correct 

this oversight, we are again including 

the adoption of Amendments 8, 9 and 

10, along with the adoption of the most 

recent, Amendment 11. 

Paragraph (dd)(1), the United Nations 

Recommendations on the Transport of 

Dangerous Goods— Model Regulations, 

17th Revised Edition (2011), Volumes I 

and II, is revised to incorporate the 18th 

Revised Edition (2013), Volumes I and 

II. 

Paragraph (dd)(2), the United Nations 

Recommendations on the Transport of 

Dangerous Goods—Manual of Tests and 

Criteria, Fifth Revised Edition (2009), 

including Amendment 1 (2011), is 

revised to reference § 171.24, and subparagraph (iii) is added to incorporate 

Amendment 2 (2013). 

Section 171.8 

This section defines terms generally 

used throughout the HMR that have 

broad or multi-modal applicability. 

PHMSA is adding the following defined 

terms: 

Adsorbed gas: The adoption of this 

term directs the reader to § 173.115 for 

the definition. See the § 173.115 entry of 

the Section-by-Section Review for a 

complete discussion of the adoption of 

the definition of adsorbed gas. 

Bundle of cylinders: Consistent with 

the ICAO TI, PHMSA is amending this 

definition to clarify that a ‘‘bundle of 

cylinders’’ is not permitted for air 

transport. 

Large salvage packaging: Consistent 

with the UN Model Regulations, 

PHMSA is defining a large salvage 

packaging. A large salvage packaging is 

a special packaging into which 

damaged, defective or leaking hazardous 

materials packages, or hazardous 

materials that have spilled or leaked are 

placed for the purpose of transport for 

recovery or disposal. The general 

requirements for a large salvage 

packaging are consistent with the 

existing requirements for a ‘‘large 

packaging.’’ Large salvage packagings 

are not authorized for air transport. 

PHMSA received a comment from RIPA 

providing general support for the 

addition of this definition. 

Neutron radiation detector: 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, PHMSA is defining a 

neutron radiation detector. A neutron 

radiation detector is a device that 

detects neutron radiation. In such a 

device, a gas may be contained in a 

hermetically sealed electron tube 

transducer that converts neutron 

radiation into a measurable electric 

signal. 

Non-bulk packaging: Part 6 of the UN 

Model regulations was revised to 

remove the volumetric limit for certain 

packaging types that would be 

considered non-bulk packagings under 

the HMR. This was based on recognition 

by the UN Transport of Dangerous 

Goods Sub-Committee that there are 

packagings suitable for the 

transportation of high volume, low mass 

materials (e.g., airbags) where the 

capacity of a box may exceed 450 liters 

(119 gallons) while the net mass of the 

box is less than 400 kg (882 pounds). 

Absent a corresponding amendment to 

the HMR, U.S. manufacturers and 

shippers would be placed at a 

competitive disadvantage by not being 

authorized to use the same packaging 

configurations other than as authorized 

for use by Part 171 Subpart C (use of 

international transport standards and 

regulations). Therefore, to maintain 

consistency with the UN Model 

Regulations, and to authorize the use of 

these packaging configurations for 

domestic transport, PHMSA is revising 

the HMR definition of non-bulk 

packaging by adding a new paragraph 

(4) to include bags and boxes 

conforming to the applicable 

requirements for specification 

packagings in subpart L of part 178 of 

this subchapter, if they have a 

maximum net mass of 400 kg (882 

pounds) or less. Based on our review of 

the UN Model Regulations, these are the 

only packagings affected by the UN 

amendment, as only bags and boxes do 

not have specified volumetric 

limitations. 

PHMSA received comments from Key 

Safety Systems, RIPA, TK Holdings Inc., 

and TRW Automotive in support of this 

proposal. However, RIPA conditioned 

their support on the presumption that 

the references to ‘‘bag’’ and ‘‘box’’ in the 

definition do limit users to all the 

conditions stipulated in subpart L of 

part 178. For example, the standard for 

each of the different bags provided in 

subpart L of part 178 imposes a 

maximum net mass limitation of 50 kg 

(110 pounds). PHMSA believes that the 

text proposed in the revised definition 

of non-bulk packaging requiring the bag 

or box to conform to all applicable 

requirements for the specification 

packagings in subpart L or part 178 is 

clear in requiring the bags and boxes to 

completely conform to the specification, 

including the questioned maximum net 

mass limitation of 50 kg (110 pounds) 

for bags. 

Radiation Detection System: 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, PHMSA is defining a 

radiation detection system. A radiation 

detection system is an apparatus that 

contains radiation detectors as 

components.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1081 

Section 171.23 

Section 171.23 prescribes 

requirements for specific materials and 

packagings transported under various 

international standards. Section 

171.22(b)(2) requires shipments made in 

accordance with an authorized 

international standard or regulation to 

conform to all applicable requirements 

of Subpart C of Part 171 which includes 

any requirements found in § 171.23. 

Paragraph (b)(2) of this section 

requires the shipping paper description 

of items such as air bag inflators, air bag 

modules, and seat-belt pretensioners to 

conform to the requirements in 

§ 173.166(c). Consistent with the UN 

Model Regulations, PHMSA is revising 

the proper shipping name of these items 

to read ‘‘Safety device,’’ with the 

addition of the term ‘‘pyromechanical 

device’’ being included as a ‘‘Safety 

device.’’ Paragraph (b)(2) is being 

revised to reference the new proper 

shipping name, ‘‘Safety device’’ and the 

new term ‘‘pyromechanical device.’’ As 

a consequence of the addition of the 

proper shipping name ‘‘Safety devices, 

pyrotechnic,’’ and special provision 161 

being removed, paragraph (b)(2)(ii) is 

removed. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC concerning paragraph (b)(2)(i). 

Paragraph (b)(2)(i) states that an EX 

number or product code number must 

be included as part of the shipping 

description. DGAC notes that safety 

devices tested and certified as Class 9 in 

accordance with § 173.166(b) do not 

require EX numbers and that the 

wording in this paragraph is confusing 

as it conveys that all safety devices 

require either an EX number or product 

code in association with the basic 

description on a shipping paper. We 

agree with DGAC that the EX number or 

product code shipping paper 

requirements when offering under 

international standards in accordance 

with § 171.23(b) may be confusing when 

compared to the corresponding 

domestic requirements in § 173.166(c) 

that only require the EX number or 

product code on a shipping paper for 

safety devices classed as Class 1, but 

excepts Class 9 safety devices from this 

requirement. Taking into account the 

comments from DGAC, in this final rule, 

PHMSA is removing § 171.23(b)(2)(i) as 

the preceding paragraph (b)(2) requires 

that for each safety device, the shipping 

paper description must conform to the 

requirements in § 173.166(c). By 

removing (b)(2)(i) and directing readers 

to the EX number and product code 

requirements prescribed in § 173.166(c), 

any potential conflict between the two 

sections is removed. 

Paragraph (b)(11) of this section 

prescribes additional requirements for 

shipments of radioactive materials made 

under authorized international 

standards or regulations. PHMSA is 

incorporating by reference the 2012 

IAEA SSR–6 regulations to replace the 

TS–R–1 (ST–1, Revised) 1996 Edition to 

allow shipments to be offered for 

transportation or transported under the 

most recent IAEA regulations. Several 

changes to the definition of excepted 

fissile materials and the requirements 

for its transport were adopted by the 

IAEA. Under their respective statutory 

authorities, DOT and the Nuclear 

Regulatory Commission (NRC) jointly 

regulate the transportation of 

radioactive materials to, from, and 

within the United States. The NRC has 

not initiated any rulemaking activities 

to address changes made by the IAEA 

regarding the transportation of excepted 

fissile materials. In order to maintain 

uniform treatment for shippers of 

excepted fissile materials, PHMSA is 

amending § 171.23 to require that 

shipments of excepted fissile materials 

offered in accordance with the IAEA 

SSR–6 regulations must also conform to 

the requirements of § 173.453. 

Section 171.24 

Section 171.24 details additional 

requirements for the use of the ICAO TI. 

PHMSA is amending the marking 

requirement for packages containing 

primary lithium batteries and cells that 

meet the exceptions in paragraph 

(d)(1)(ii). Packages meeting these 

exceptions currently are required to be 

marked with an indication that they 

contain lithium batteries, and that these 

lithium batteries are forbidden for 

transport aboard passenger aircraft. 

PHMSA is making this change to allow 

the message that these batteries are 

forbidden for transport aboard passenger 

aircraft to be expressed through the 

current marking or by using a CARGO 

AIRCRAFT ONLY label as shown in 

§ 172.448. 

Section 171.25 

Section 171.25 details additional 

requirements for the use of the IMDG 

Code. PHMSA is amending the marking 

requirement for packages containing 

primary lithium batteries and cells that 

meet the exceptions in § 173.185(c) in 

paragraph (b)(3). Packages meeting these 

exceptions currently are required to be 

marked with an indication that they 

contain lithium batteries, and that these 

lithium batteries are forbidden for 

transport aboard passenger aircraft. 

PHMSA is proposing to allow the 

message that these batteries are 

forbidden for transport aboard passenger 

aircraft to be expressed through the 

current marking or by using a CARGO 

AIRCRAFT ONLY label as shown in 

§ 172.448. 

Part 172 

Section 172.101 

Section 172.101 provides instructions 

for using the Hazardous Materials Table 

(HMT) and the HMT itself. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising the 

instructional text that precedes the HMT 

for paragraph (k) of this section. 

Paragraph (k) of § 172.101 explains 

the purpose of column (10) of the HMT 

and prescribes the vessel stowage and 

segregation requirements for specific 

entries in the HMT. Column (10) is 

divided into two columns: column 

(10A) [Vessel stowage] specifies the 

authorized stowage locations on board 

cargo and passenger vessels and column 

(10B) [Other provisions] specifies 

special stowage and segregation 

provisions. PHMSA is amending this 

instructional text to note that the codes 

in column 10B address not only codes 

for stowage requirements, but also, in 

certain instances, handling 

requirements that need to be observed 

during loading of the hazardous 

materials. The IMO, in amendment 37– 

14 of the IMDG Code, has split their 

stowage and segregation column (16) in 

the dangerous goods list into two 

columns and assigned codes to the 

existing stowage, handling, and 

segregation text. The new first column 

(16a) in the IMDG Code is entitled 

stowage and handling, and the second 

column (16b) is titled segregation. 

PHMSA is maintaining the HMR’s 

current column 10A and 10B system, 

with text in this section and § 176.84 

indicating that handling/loading of 

hazardous materials is also covered by 

certain codes in column 10B. See 

Section 176.84 other requirements for 

stowage, cargo handling, and 

segregation for cargo vessels and 

passenger vessels for a detailed 

discussion of changes. 

Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) 

In this final rule, PHMSA is proposing 

to amend the HMT. Readers should 

review all changes for a complete 

understanding of the amendments. For 

purposes of the Government Printing 

Office’s typesetting procedures, changes 

to the HMT appear under three sections 

of the Table, ‘‘remove,’’ ‘‘add,’’ and 

‘‘revise.’’ Certain entries in the HMT, 

such as those with revisions to the 

proper shipping names, appear as a 

‘‘remove’’ and ‘‘add.’’ Amendments to 

the HMT include the following: 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1082 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

New HMT Entries 

UN3507—Uranium hexafluoride, 

radioactive material, excepted 

package, less than 0.1 kg per package, 

non-fissile or fissile-excepted 

This new HMT entry addresses small 

quantities of uranium hexafluoride 

having corrosive properties by assigning 

the material to Class 8 with a subsidiary 

risk of Class 7, since this is more 

consistent with the general rule of 

classification of radioactive material in 

limited quantities possessing other 

hazards per § 173.423. Shipments must 

comply with new special provision 369 

and requirements found in § 173.420(d). 

PHMSA received one comment from 

Veolia requesting that the proper 

shipping name be amended to read 

‘‘Radioactive material, uranium 

hexafluoride, excepted package, less 

than 0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or 

fissile excepted’’ in order to maintain 

the listing of all radioactive material 

proper shipping names in a manner that 

they appear in succession in the HMT. 

PHMSA is maintaining the proper 

shipping name as proposed for the 

purpose of international harmonization 

of shipping descriptions. It is important 

to note that the primary hazard 

indicated in the HMT and all applicable 

international dangerous goods lists is a 

Class 8 hazard. As such, there is no 

need to amend the proper shipping 

name to maintain a sequential list of all 

entries having a Class 7 primary hazard. 

UN3508—Capacitor, asymmetric with 

an energy storage capacity greater 

than 0.3Wh 

This new HMT entry covers 

asymmetric capacitors with an energy 

storage capacity greater than 0.3 Wh. 

Asymmetric capacitors are assigned as a 

Class 9 miscellaneous hazardous 

material. 

UN3510—Adsorbed gas, flammable, 

n.o.s. 

UN3511—Adsorbed gas, n.o.s. 

UN3512—Adsorbed gas, toxic, n.o.s. 

UN3513—Adsorbed gas, oxidizing, 

n.o.s. 

UN3514—Adsorbed gas, toxic, 

flammable, n.o.s. 

UN3515—Adsorbed gas, toxic, 

oxidizing, n.o.s. 

UN3516—Adsorbed gas, toxic, 

corrosive, n.o.s. 

UN3517—Adsorbed gas, toxic, 

flammable, corrosive, n.o.s. 

UN3518—Adsorbed gas, toxic, 

oxidizing, corrosive, n.o.s. 

UN3519—Boron trifluoride, adsorbed 

UN3520—Chlorine, adsorbed 

UN3521—Silicon tetrafluoride, 

adsorbed 

UN3522—Arsine, adsorbed 

UN3523—Germane, adsorbed 

UN3524—Phosphorus pentafluoride, 

adsorbed 

UN3525—Phosphine, adsorbed 

UN3526—Hydrogen selenide, adsorbed 

The ‘‘Adsorbed gas’’ HMT entries are 

added to address shipments of gas, 

which when packaged for transport, are 

adsorbed onto a solid porous material in 

a pressure receptacle. Entries classified 

as Division 2.3 gases are forbidden for 

transport by aircraft. PHMSA received 

three comments from COSTHA, DGAC, 

and Entegris noting that the entry for 

‘‘Arsine, adsorbed’’ was not added to 

the HMT in the NPRM as intended. As 

a result, in this final rule PHMSA is 

adding the entry ‘‘UN3522, Arsine, 

adsorbed’’ to the HMT. Entegris also 

provided a comment suggesting that 

§ 173.302c cannot be referenced in the 

HMT as a packaging instruction for bulk 

shipments of adsorbed gases, as there is 

no internationally accepted standard or 

authorization for bulk receptacles 

containing such gases. PHMSA agrees 

with the Entegris comment that bulk 

packagings for adsorbed gases are not 

presently authorized. As a result, in this 

final rule, PHMSA is revising Column 

(8C) of the HMT for the Adsorbed gas 

entries to indicate ‘‘None.’’ . 

Duplicate entries for UN0214 

Trinitrobenzene, dry or wetted with less 

than 30 percent water, by mass 

currently exist in the HMT; while the 

UN1354 entry has been inadvertently 

overwritten by one of these UN0214 

entries in an unidentified previous 

rulemaking. PHMSA is removing one of 

the duplicate UN0214 entries, and 

reinserting the correct UN1354 entry. 

Amendments to the Column (1) 

Symbols 

Section 172.101(b) describes column 

(1) of the HMT and the associated 

symbols that may be indicated in the 

column. In accordance with 

§ 172.101(b), the symbol ‘‘G’’ identifies 

proper shipping names for which one or 

more technical names of the hazardous 

material must be entered in parentheses 

in association with the basic description 

on a shipping paper. The symbol ‘‘I’’ 

indicates these proper shipping names 

are appropriate for describing materials 

in international transportation, but that 

an alternate proper shipping name may 

be selected when only domestic 

transportation is involved. The letter 

‘‘A’’ denotes a material that is subject to 

the requirements of this subchapter only 

when offered or intended for 

transportation by aircraft, unless the 

material is a hazardous substance or a 

hazardous waste. 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding 

international proper shipping names for 

‘‘Asbestos, amphibole (amosite, 

tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, 

crocidolite)’’ and ‘‘Asbestos, chrysotile,’’ 

and removing shipping descriptions for 

Blue, Brown, and White Asbestos. These 

new international proper shipping 

names for ‘‘Asbestos, amphibole’’ and 

‘‘Asbestos, chrysotile’’ have an ‘‘I’’ 

assigned in column one. PHMSA is also 

assigning a ‘‘G’’ to the ‘‘Asbestos, 

amphibole’’ entry. The ‘‘G’’ indicates 

that the technical name(s) of the 

hazardous material must be entered in 

parentheses, in association with the 

basic description. In the case of this 

proper shipping name, the technical 

name shown should be selected from 

the list of five different minerals 

(amosite, tremolite, actinolite, 

anthophyllite, crocidolite) indicated in 

italics after the proper shipping name. 

See the amendments to column (2) of 

the HMT for additional discussion 

regarding the revision of the proper 

shipping names for these entries. 

In this final rule PHMSA is assigning 

an ‘‘A’’ to column 1 for ‘‘Fish meal, 

stabilized or Fish scrap, stabilized’’ 

consistent with changes made to the 

ICAO TI. PHMSA received one 

comment from Alaska Airlines 

supporting the assignment of an ‘‘A’’ to 

column one for this material. 

Amendments to the Column (2) 

Hazardous Materials Descriptions and 

Proper Shipping Names 

Section 172.101(c) describes column 

(2) of the HMT and the requirements for 

hazardous materials descriptions and 

proper shipping names. 

In the NPRM, the proper shipping 

name for ‘‘UN0222, Ammonium nitrate, 

with more than 0.2 percent combustible 

substances, including any organic 

substance calculated as carbon, to the 

exclusion of any other added 

substance’’ was proposed to be 

amended by removing the italicized text 

and placing the text into the new special 

provision 370. PHMSA received one 

comment from IME stating that the 

NPRM did not provide an adequate 

explanation to justify why the UN SubCommittee of Experts on the Transport 

of Dangerous Goods (UNSCETDG) 

recommends this change. IME provides 

several reasons that this amendment 

should not be adopted. IME notes that 

while the italicized text is not ‘‘lost’’ 

when placed in the new special 

provision 370, the absence of the text 

from the proper shipping name will add 

to confusion about this form of 

ammonium nitrate as UN0222 is one of 

six classifications of solid ammonium 

nitrate. Of the six, only UN0222 and 

NA0331 are Class 1 entries and all of 

these entries have been distinguished 

from each other by italicized text. IME 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1083 

further notes there was no proposal to 

remove clarifying italicized text from 

other entries. 

A review of the change to the UN 

Model Regulations revealed that the 

italicized text assigned to the proper 

shipping name for UN0222 was 

removed to resolve a potential 

contradiction with the new special 

provision 370 assigned to UN0222. The 

qualifying italicized text associated with 

this entry applies to materials with more 

than 0.2 percent combustible 

substances; however, special provision 

370 provides that Ammonium nitrate 

with not more than 0.2% combustible 

substances that give a positive result 

when tested in accordance with Test 

Series 2 of the UN Manual of Tests and 

Criteria must also be assigned to 

UN0222. In this scenario, a user of the 

HMT with a material containing less 

than 0.2 percent combustible substances 

(see UN1942) may not be immediately 

aware that UN0222 should be used if 

the material simultaneously gives a 

positive result when tested in 

accordance with Test Series 2. By 

moving the italicized text from the 

proper shipping name to the special 

provision this contradiction is avoided 

by providing instruction for Ammonium 

nitrate containing both more than, and 

less than 0.2 percent combustible 

substances. Following the review 

PHMSA determined that any minor 

contradiction that may exist between 

maintaining the qualifying text as part 

of the proper shipping name or in the 

special provision is negligible. We agree 

with the comment submitted by IME 

that retaining the italicized text in 

association with the proper shipping 

name does have a benefit, and as such, 

we are retaining the italicized text ‘‘with 

more than 0.2 percent combustible 

substances, including any organic 

substance calculated as carbon, to the 

exclusion of any other added 

substance’’ as part of the proper 

shipping name. 

The proper shipping name for 

‘‘UN1942, Ammonium nitrate, with not 

more than 0.2% combustible materials, 

including any organic substance, 

calculated as carbon to the exclusion of 

any other added substance’’ is amended 

by replacing the word ‘‘materials’’ in 

italicized text with ‘‘substances’’ and 

the comma following ‘‘substance’’ is 

placed after the word ‘‘carbon.’’ Due to 

the present placement of the comma in 

the description for the two ammonium 

nitrate entries, the 0.2% combustible 

materials/substances are measured 

differently. This amendment ensures 

that the 0.2% combustible level is 

calculated as carbon in the case of 

organic substances. PHMSA received 

one comment from DGAC noting that 

the entry in the proposed HMT 

contained italicized text inconsistent 

with the amendment discussed in the 

NPRM (79 FR 50750). We agree and are 

correcting the italicized text as part of 

the proper shipping name consistent 

with the NPRM preamble discussion. 

Two new proper shipping names 

‘‘Asbestos, amphibole (amosite, 

tremolite, actinolite, anthophyllite, 

crocidolite)’’ and ‘‘Asbestos, chrysotile’’ 

are assigned to identification numbers 

UN2212 and UN2590, respectively. 

These new proper shipping names more 

appropriately describe the material than 

the present ‘‘UN2212, Blue asbestos 

(Crocidolite) or Brown asbestos 

(amosite, mysorite)’’ and ‘‘UN2590, 

White asbestos (chrysotile, actinolite, 

anthophyllite, tremolite).’’ In the 

scientific community, Asbestos is 

divided into two chemical group names, 

‘‘Amphiboles’’ and ‘‘Chrysotile’’. The 

amphibole group includes five different 

minerals (amosite, tremolite, actinolite, 

anthophyllite, crocidolite). The 

chrysotile group includes only the 

mineral chrysotile. 

The proper shipping name for 

‘‘UN3499, Capacitor, electric double 

layer (with an energy storage capacity 

greater than 0.3 Wh)’’ is amended by 

placing the phrase ‘‘electric double 

layer’’ in Roman type. This amendment 

is necessary to differentiate this HMT 

entry from the new HMT entry, 

Capacitor, asymmetric. 

A new proper shipping name ‘‘Safety 

devices, electrically initiated’’ is 

assigned to identification number 

UN3268. Current proper shipping 

names assigned to UN3268 are ‘‘Air bag 

inflators, or Air bag modules, or Seatbelt pretensioners.’’ The adopted proper 

shipping name more appropriately 

describes materials authorized under 

this HMT entry in conjunction with the 

revision to special provision 160 to 

include a number of automotive 

industry life-saving appliances that are 

actuated by the electric signal of the 

crash sensor. 

A new proper shipping name of 

‘‘Safety devices, pyrotechnic’’ is 

assigned to identification number 

UN0503. The current proper shipping 

names assigned to UN0503 are ‘‘Air bag 

inflators, or Air bag modules, or Seatbelt pretensioners.’’ The adopted proper 

shipping name more appropriately 

describes Class 1 materials authorized 

under this HMT entry. 

PHMSA received a comment from 

COSTHA noting that stocks of these 

materials are well into the millions, and 

therefore they requested that PHMSA 

identify a transition period during 

which the previous proper shipping 

names may continue to be used in 

association with the relevant UN 

number. COSTHA believes a 1-year 

transition (until January 1, 2016) would 

be sufficient to re-mark packages 

already in the supply chain. PHMSA 

notes that this final rule provides for a 

one year delayed compliance date from 

the date of publication. It is also 

important to note that § 172.101(l)(ii) 

provides for the ability to use preprinted 

shipping papers and package markings, 

until depleted or for a one year period, 

subsequent to the effective date of a 

rulemaking change, whichever is less. 

The proper shipping name for 

‘‘UN1082, Trifluorochloroethylene, 

stabilized’’ is amended by adding 

‘‘Refrigerant gas R 1113’’ as an 

alternative proper shipping name for 

consistency with the dangerous goods 

lists of the various international 

standards and the HMT of the HMR. 

The adopted proper shipping name for 

UN1082 is ‘‘Trifluorochloroethylene, 

stabilized or Refrigerant gas R 1113’’. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that this entry is not listed 

in the proposed HMT under the 

‘‘REMOVE’’ instruction; however, the 

new entry is listed under the ‘‘ADD’’ 

instruction. As a result, in this final 

rule, PHMSA is adding ‘‘UN1082, 

Trifluorochloroethylene, stabilized’’ to 

the entries under ‘‘REMOVE’’ in the 

instructions to amend the HMT. This 

will correct the regulatory instruction 

for amending the proper shipping name. 

Amendments to Column (5) Packing 

Group 

Section 172.101(f) describes Column 

(5) of the HMT and the designation of 

the packing group(s) assigned to each 

proper shipping name. 

For the entries ‘‘UN3316, Chemical 

kits’’ and ‘‘UN3316, First aid kits’’ the 

Packing Groups II and III designations 

are adopted. The assignment of packing 

groups to these entries are not a new 

requirement; however, including 

packing group assignments in the HMT 

will ensure that shippers are aware that 

the most stringent packing group must 

be assigned to any individual substance 

in the kit in accordance with 

§ 173.161(b)(2). 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that the Packing Group III 

designation for ‘‘UN3316, First aid kits’’ 

was not added to the HMT. In this final 

rule, we are adding the Packing Group 

III entry to the HMT accordingly. 

The HMT entries for several articles 

are revised to remove packing group 

assignments. For articles, the packing 

group does not relate to the degree of 

hazard posed by the material but rather 

is assigned generically to the article. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1084 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

There is limited value in requiring an 

indication of the packing group in 

association with the shipment. 

Currently and without specific 

rationale, some articles are assigned 

packing groups while others are not. 

This change provides a level of 

consistency for all articles specifically 

listed in the HMT. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is removing packing group 

assignments from the following HMT 

entries: 

Proper shipping name UN No. 

Ammunition, tear-producing, non-explosive, without burster or expelling charge, non-fuzed ................................................................ UN2017

PHMSA received comment from DGAC 

noting that for UN2794, UN2795, and 

UN2800, the Column (5) packing group 

assignments were removed in the HMT 

but not discussed in the NPRM 

preamble. The entries for these articles 

have been added to the above table for 

clarity. 

Amendments to the Column (7) Special 

Provisions 

Section 172.101(h) describes Column 

(7) of the HMT and § 172.102(c) the 

special provisions assigned to specific 

entries in the HMT. The particular 

modifications to the entries in the HMT 

are discussed below. See Section 

172.102 special provisions for a detailed 

discussion of the additions, revisions, 

and deletions to the special provisions 

addressed in this final rule. 

In this final rule, special provision 

134 is added to the HMT entry 

‘‘UN3072, Life-saving appliances, not 

self-inflating containing dangerous 

goods as equipment.’’ The addition of 

this special provision will clarify that 

equipment containing only lithium 

batteries must be consigned under the 

entries ‘‘Lithium batteries contained in 

equipment’’ or ‘‘Lithium batteries 

packed with equipment,’’ as 

appropriate. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting for the entry ‘‘UN2990, 

Life-Saving Appliances, Self Inflating,’’ 

that ‘‘Special Provision 338 is missing 

from Column 7 in the proposed HMT.’’ 

This was an inadvertent omission. 

Special provision 338 has been 

reestablished. 

Several HMT entries are revised to 

include new special provision 367. 

Special provision 367 authorizes the use 

of the ‘‘Paint related material’’ entries 

for consignments of packages containing 

‘‘Paint’’ and ‘‘Paint related material’’ in 

the same package. This special 

provision also authorizes the proper 

shipping name ‘‘Printing ink related 

material’’ for consignments of packages 

containing ‘‘Printing Ink’’ and ‘‘Printing 

ink related material’’ in the same 

package. 

In this final rule, new special 

provision 367 is assigned to the 

following entries: 

Proper shipping name UN No. 

Paint including paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac solutions, varnish, polish, liquid filler, and liquid lacquer base .......................... UN1263 

Paint or Paint related material ................................................................................................................................................................. UN3066 

Paint, corrosive, flammable (including paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac solutions, varnish, polish, liquid filler, and liquid lacquer 

base) .................................................................................................................................................................................................... UN3470 

Paint, flammable, corrosive, (including paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac, varnish, polish, liquid filler and liquid lacquer base) .... UN3469 

Paint related material including paint thinning, drying, removing, or reducing compound ..................................................................... UN1263 

Paint related material corrosive, flammable (including paint thinning or reducing compound) .............................................................. UN3470 

Paint related material, flammable, corrosive (including paint thinning or reducing compound) ............................................................. UN3469 

Printing ink, flammable or Printing ink related material (including printing ink thinning or reducing compound), flammable ................ UN1210 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC regarding the UN1210 PG II entry 

in the proposed HMT. DGAC noted that 

367 inserted before 149 in Column (7) 

and is in non-sequential order. We agree 

and have amended the entry 

accordingly. 

In this final rule, we are adding new 

special provision 368 to the HMT entry 

‘‘UN2910, Radioactive material, 

excepted package-limited quantity of 

material.’’ 

In this final rule, new special 

provision 369 is assigned to the new 

HMT entry ‘‘UN3507, Uranium 

hexafluoride, radioactive material, 

excepted package, less than 0.1 kg per 

package, non-fissile or fissile-excepted.’’ 

In this final rule, new special 

provision 370 is assigned to the HMT 

entry ‘‘UN0222, Ammonium nitrate.’’ 

This special provision addresses a 

situation where Ammonium Nitrate, 

with not more than 0.2% carbon, does 

not satisfy Test Series 2 and therefore 

cannot be accommodated under the 

entry for ‘‘UN1942, Ammonium 

nitrate.’’ 

In this final rule, new special 

provision 371 is assigned to the HMT 

entry ‘‘UN3164, Articles, pressurized 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1085 

pneumatic or hydraulic containing nonflammable gas.’’ 

In this final rule, special provision 

IB6 is replaced with IB8 and special 

provisions IP2, and IP4 are added for 

the HMT Packing Group III entry 

‘‘UN3089, Metal powders, flammable, 

n.o.s.’’ IB8 is presently assigned to the 

Packing Group II entry, therefore, 

fiberboard, wooden and flexible IBCs 

are allowed for the Packing Group II 

materials, but are forbidden for the less 

dangerous Packing Group III substance. 

These revisions will correct the 

inconsistency. 

In this final rule, new special 

provision A61 is assigned to the HMT 

entries ‘‘UN 3107, Organic peroxide 

type E, liquid’’ and ‘‘UN 3109, Organic 

peroxide type F, liquid’’ 

Several HMT entries are revised to 

include new portable tank special 

provision TP47. Special provision TP47 

indicates that the 2.5 year internal 

portable tank examination may be 

waived or substituted by other test 

methods or inspection procedures 

specified by the competent authority or 

its authorized body, provided that the 

portable tank is dedicated to the 

transport of the organometallic. 

However, this examination is required 

when the conditions of § 180.605(f) are 

met. 

In this NPRM, new special provision 

TP47 is assigned to the following 

entries: 

Proper shipping name UN No. 

Organometallic substance, liquid, pyrophoric, water-reactive ................................................................................................................. UN3394 

Organometallic substance, liquid, water-reactive .................................................................................................................................... UN3398 

Organometallic substance, liquid, water-reactive, flammable ................................................................................................................. UN3399 

Organometallic substance, solid, pyrophoric, water-reactive .................................................................................................................. UN3393 

Organometallic substance, solid, water-reactive ..................................................................................................................................... UN3395 

Organometallic substance, solid, water-reactive, flammable .................................................................................................................. UN3396 

Organometallic substance, solid, water-reactive, self-heating ................................................................................................................ UN3397 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that for the entry 

‘‘UN3375, Ammonium nitrate 

emulsion,’’ IB2 and TP32 are listed in 

Column (7) in the changes to the 

proposed HMR. DGAC notes that ‘‘these 

special provisions are not present in 

Column (7) in the 10–1–13 version of 

the HMR.’’ Although the addition of IB2 

to Column (7) was not described in the 

amendments to Column (7) of the 

NPRM, this revision was intentional. 

PHMSA is aligning with international 

standards to add IBCs as an authorized 

packaging for UN3375. In the NPRM, 

portable tank special provision TP32 

was inadvertently added to this HMT 

entry in error. While this portable tank 

special provision was assigned to 

UN3375 in the UN Model Regulations 

and the IMDG Code, the HMR do not 

authorize UN3375 in portable tanks and 

therefore a portable tank special 

provision is not appropriate. In this 

final rule, for the entry UN3375, 

Ammonium nitrate emulsion,’’ PHMSA 

is adding special provisions IB2, IP16, 

and removing TP32 as proposed in the 

NPRM. New special provision IP16 is 

described in the Section 172.102 special 

provisions discussion for IBC Codes and 

IP Codes. 

Amendments to Column (8B) Non-Bulk 

Packaging Authorizations. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that for the entry 

‘‘UN3375, Ammonium nitrate 

emulsion,’’ 231 is listed in is listed in 

Column (8B) in the changes to the 

proposed HMT. DGAC notes that 

packaging authorization 214 is present 

in Column (8B) in the 10–1–13 version 

of 49 CFR. Although this revision was 

not described in the amendments to 

Column (8B) of the NPRM, the revision 

from 231 to 214 was intentional as 

discussed in the section-by-section 

review of § 173.231 (79 FR 50764). 

Amendments to Column (8C) Bulk 

Packaging Authorizations. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that for the entry ‘‘UN 

3375, Ammonium nitrate emulsion,’’ 

231 is listed in Column (8C) in the 

changes to the proposed HMT. The UN 

Sub-Committee of Experts on the 

Transportation of Dangerous Goods 

added authorizations for certain IBCs in 

the UN Model regulations for UN 3375. 

This authorization necessitates the 

incorporation of a bulk packaging 

authorization for this HMT entry. In this 

final rule PHMSA is creating a new 

§ 173.251 and assigning it to column 

(8C) for this entry to authorize the use 

of IBC’s. 

Amendments to the Column (9) 

Quantity Limitations. 

Section 172.101(j) describes Column 

(9) of the HMT and the quantity 

limitations for specific entries in the 

HMT. Furthermore, Columns (9A) and 

(9B) specify the maximum quantities 

that may be offered for transportation in 

one package by passenger-carrying 

aircraft or passenger-carrying rail car 

(Column (9A) or by cargo-only aircraft 

(Column (9B). The indication of 

‘‘forbidden’’ means the material may not 

be offered for transportation or 

transported in the applicable mode of 

transport. 

For the entry ‘‘UN3497, Krill meal’’ 

quantity limits of 15 kg and 50 kg for PG 

II, and 25 kg and 100 kg for PG III, are 

adopted for columns (9A) and (9B) 

respectively. Previously, there was no 

limit to the amount authorized to be 

shipped in one package. These new 

quantity limits are consistent with 

authorized quantity limits found in the 

ICAO TI. 

At the 24th meeting the ICAO DGP, it 

was agreed to incorporate certain UN 

numbers contained in the UN Model 

Regulations, but not currently listed in 

the ICAO TI. For the entries ‘‘UN2216, 

Fish meal, stabilized or Fish scrap, 

stabilized,’’ and ‘‘UN1374 Fish meal, 

unstabilized or Fish scrap, unstabilized’’ 

the panel determined that they should 

be forbidden for transport on both cargo 

and passenger aircraft. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is aligning with the ICAO TI by 

revising columns (9A) and (9B) to 

‘‘Forbidden.’’ PHMSA received one 

comment from Alaska Airlines in 

support of this revision. 

DGAC commented that for the HMT 

entry ‘‘UN3221, Self-reactive liquid type 

B,’’ columns (9A) and (9B) in the 

current HMT contain a (2) footnote, and 

that in the NPRM, PHMSA proposed 

revising these limitations to indicate 

‘‘Forbidden’’ without any preamble 

discussion. This entry was revised in a 

Federal Register correction document 

(78 FR 17874), but due to a publication 

error was not transitioned into the 

printed or electronic versions of the 

CFR. In this rulemaking PHMSA is 

reinstating the correct quantity 

limitation notation of ‘‘Forbidden’’ in 

columns 9A and 9B for this entry. 

Amendments to the Column (10) Vessel 

Stowage Requirements. 

Section 172.101(k) explains the 

purpose of column (10) of the HMT and 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1086 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

prescribes the vessel stowage and 

segregation requirements for specific 

entries in the HMT. Column (10) is 

divided into two columns: column 

(10A) [Vessel stowage] specifies the 

authorized stowage locations on board 

cargo and passenger vessels and column 

(10B) [Other provisions] specifies 

special stowage and segregation 

provisions. 

The IMO, in amendment 37–14 of the 

IMDG Code, split their stowage and 

segregation column (16) in the 

dangerous goods list into two columns 

and assigned codes to the existing 

stowage, handling, and segregation text. 

The new first column (16a) in the IMDG 

Code is titled stowage and handling, 

and the second column (16b) is titled 

segregation. PHMSA is maintaining the 

HMT’s current column (10A) and (10B), 

while also harmonizing our vessel 

stowage codes in columns (10A) and 

(10B) as closely as possible with those 

in amendment 37–14 of the IMDG Code. 

There are several instances where 

PHMSA is maintaining additional codes 

(see UN numbers 0019, 0020, 0021, 

0301, 0303, 1017, 1131, 1389, 1392, 

1420, 1422, 1780, 1942, 1950, 2679, 

2912, 3015, 3071, 3101–3106, 3108– 

3110, 3242, 3323, and 3497) that vary 

from IMDG Code stowage and 

segregation requirements. These 

additional stowage and segregation 

provisions vary by UN number, but are 

considered additional precautions 

deemed necessary to ensure the safe 

transport of these commodities during 

transportation by vessel. 

During the preparation of the NPRM 

and final rule, PHMSA and the United 

States Coast Guard conducted an 

extensive review of all HMT entries to 

verify that domestic entries correspond 

as closely as possible with the 

provisions found in the IMDG Code. 

PHMSA is making numerous changes to 

the codes found in the HMT’s column 

(10B) [Other provisions] as a result of 

this review. The majority of the changes 

are a result of work done at the IMO to 

eliminate duplicate and unnecessary 

provisions. Some of the proposed 

changes to column (10B) are adopted to 

harmonize existing differences in 

stowage, handling, and segregation 

provisions between the HMR and the 

IMDG Code. A table of changes, listed 

in alphabetical order, showing the 

proper shipping name, UN 

identification number, any stowage 

codes adopted for removal, and any 

stowage codes adopted for addition is 

provided below. If a column is blank, no 

changes were adopted. The meaning of 

the codes in column (10B) can be found 

either in § 176.84 or are listed in the 

§ 176.84 Section-by-Section change 

portion of this final rule.

PHMSA received two comments 

concerning amendments to column 

(10B) of the HMT. IVODGA commented 

providing full support for the changes as 

proposed in the NPRM. DGAC provided 

multiple editorial comments related to 

the assignment of various vessel 

stowage codes primarily based on the 

codes indicated in the above table when 

compared to what was proposed in the 

NPRM. The DGAC comments are as 

follows: 

‘‘Aluminum Ferrosilicon Powder 

(UN1395) The PG III entry is missing 

Vessel Stowage Code 148 in column 10B 

in the Docket HMT . . .’’ PHMSA agrees 

and has amended column (10B)

Appendix B to § 172.101 

Appendix B to § 172.101 lists Marine 

Pollutants regulated under the HMR. In 

this final rule, PHMSA is revising the 

List of Marine Pollutants by adding 

sixty-two new entries consistent with 

the IMDG Code. These changes include 

those substances that, by virtue of 

meeting the Group of Experts on the 

Scientific Aspects of Marine 

Environmental Protection (GESAMP) 

defining criteria for marine pollutants, 

were either assigned a ‘‘P’’ in the 

dangerous goods list or identified in the 

alphabetical index to amendment 37–14 

of the IMDG Code. The entry 

‘‘Chlorotoluenes (meta-;para-)’’ is 

removed based on its removal from the 

IMDG Code. 

PHMSA received two comments from 

the ACC regarding our proposed 

addition of one specific material, 

dodecene, to the list of marine 

pollutants. In its first comment, the ACC 

requests a 30 day extension of the 

comment period to better understand 

‘‘dodecene’s place on other lists 

referenced in the proposed rule.’’ ACC 

notes that it would use the time to 

coordinate with industry to better 

understand the information contained 

in the dodecene Regulation on 

Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation 

and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) 

dossiers. PHMSA is denying the ACC’s 

request for a 30 day extension of the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1093 

comment period for this rulemaking as 

the revision to include dodecene in the 

Marine Pollutant List is consistent with 

our standard practice of aligning 

Appendix B with the indicative list of 

marine pollutants found in the IMDG 

Code. In its second comment, the ACC 

notes that the use of the name 

‘‘dodecene’’ in both the IMDG Code and 

PHMSA proposed rule makes it unclear 

exactly what substance is being 

regulated. When manufactured, 

‘‘dodecene’’ may represent a number of 

Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) 

numbers and different chemical 

properties. In other words, this single 

description of dodecene may not reflect 

what the Panel members currently 

manufacture and ship. The ACC also 

notes that the REACH registration of a 

close analog of dodecene, 1-dodecene/

dodec-1-ene, indicates that dodecene 

would not meet the criteria of a Marine 

Pollutant, as set forth in the PHMSA 

list, based on aquatic toxicity data. The 

REACH dossier indicates ‘‘conclusive 

but not sufficient for classification’’ on 

both acute and chronic environmental 

categories associated with this 

compound. The inclusion of all entries 

proposed for addition in the NPRM 

were thoroughly vetted by several subcommittees of the International 

Maritime Organization prior to adoption 

into amendment 37–14 of the IMDG 

Code. The GESAMP data assigns all 

dodecene isomers a B1 numerical rating 

of 4. This rating of 4 indicates acute 

aquatic toxicity, and thus merits 

inclusion of dodecene to the list of 

marine pollutants in Appendix B to 

§ 172.101. 

Section 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. PHMSA is adopting the 

following revisions to § 172.102, special 

provisions: 

Special Provision 28 

Special provision 28 states that the 

dihydrated sodium salt of 

dichloroisocyanuric acid is not subject 

to the requirements of this subchapter. 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

special provision 28 to convey that the 

dihydrated sodium salt of 

dichloroisocyanuric acid does not meet 

the definition of a Division 5.1 

(oxidizer) and is not subject to the 

requirements of the subchapter unless it 

meets the criteria for inclusion in 

another Class or Division, such as Class 

9, environmentally hazardous 

substance. Some formulations of the 

dihydrated sodium salt of 

dichloroisocyanuric acid meet the 

criteria for classification as an 

environmentally hazardous substance. 

Special Provision 52 

Special provision 52 authorizes use of 

the HMT entry ‘‘UN2067, Ammonium 

nitrate based fertilizer’’ for substances 

that do not exhibit explosive properties 

of Class 1 when tested in accordance 

with Test Series 1 and 2 of the UN 

Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I. In 

this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

special provision 52 by removing the 

requirement to test in accordance with 

Test Series 1 because Test Series 2 

determines whether such properties are 

indeed those of Class 1, not Test Series 

1. 

Special Provision 147 

This special provision describes the 

composition of the material for which 

the use of the HMT entry ‘‘UN3375, 

Ammonium nitrate emulsion or 

Ammonium nitrate suspension or 

Ammonium nitrate gel, intermediate for 

blasting explosives’’ is authorized and 

prohibits the material from being 

classified and transported unless 

approved by the Associate 

Administrator. Special provision 147 

requires that these substances must 

satisfactorily pass Test Series 8 of the 

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I, 

Section 18. Test Series 8 contains four 

test types. Tests 8(a), (b) and (c) are used 

for classification purposes while Test 

8(d) is used to assess suitability for 

transport in portable tanks. The use of 

this entry (UN 3375) therefore requires 

only that Tests 8(a), (b) and (c) are 

satisfactorily passed. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is revising special provision 

147 by clarifying that Tests 8(a), (b) and 

(c), not the entire Test Series 8, are 

required for use in classification and 

subsequent approval by the Associate 

Administrator. PHMSA received one 

comment from IME in support of this 

revision. 

Special Provision 160 

Special provision 160 is presently 

assigned to ‘‘UN3268, Air bag inflators, 

or Air bag modules, or Seat-belt 

pretensioners’’ in Class 9. Special 

provision 160 includes the requirement 

that air bag inflators and modules must 

be tested in accordance with Test series 

6 (c) of Part I of the UN Manual of Tests 

and Criteria. In this final rule, PHMSA 

is revising special provision 160 in 

conjunction with revising the proper 

shipping name for UN3268 to ‘‘Safety 

devices, electrically initiated.’’ The 

entry is revised to clarify that it applies 

to safety devices used in vehicles 

including vessels and aircraft, and 

pyromechanical devices that are added 

to the list of authorized devices. The 

development of safety products has seen 

significant progress since the 

introduction of UN3268 and the range of 

current products extends beyond what 

can presently be assigned to UN3268. 

Some of the newer safety products 

include elements that are actuated by 

the electrical signal of the crash sensor 

(e.g. pyromechanical devices). Examples 

include: Devices that interrupt the 

electrical connection in case of 

emergency by disconnecting the main 

power cable in the vehicle from the 

battery to prevent short circuit and 

consequentially minimize the risk of fire 

in the vehicle; and actuators which are 

used for active headrests or for 

pedestrian protection to release special 

hinges of the engine hood. In addition, 

PHMSA is clarifying that this entry does 

not apply to life saving appliances 

described in § 173.219 (UN Nos. 2990 

and 3072). 

PHMSA received comments from Key 

Safety Systems, TK Holdings Inc., and 

TRW Automotive requesting that special 

provision 160 be revised to note that if 

the air bag inflator unit and or 

pyromechanical device satisfactorily 

passes the series 6(c) test, it is not 

necessary to repeat the test on the air 

bag module. PHMSA is not convinced 

the requested change is necessary. The 

purpose of the exception from testing in 

this special provision is to state that air 

bag modules do not need to be tested if 

the air bag inflators were tested. Air bag 

inflators are any article used to inflate 

a module, which includes inflators that 

use compressed gas, gas generant 

tablets, or a hybrid design. 

Pyromechanical devices are generally 

piston type devices and would not be 

used to inflate modules. Therefore the 

addition of ‘‘pyromechanical devices’’ 

to the sentence in SP160 excepting air 

bag modules from being re-tested would 

not be appropriate. 

Special Provision 161 

Special provision 161 required that 

for domestic transportation the alternate 

shipping description ‘‘Articles, 

pyrotechnic for technical purposes’’ be 

used to describe air bag inflators, air bag 

modules and seat-belt pretensioners 

(UN0503) meeting the criteria for a 

Division 1.4G explosive. This was done 

to ensure a different shipping name was 

used to describe these articles to 

differentiate them from air bag inflators, 

air bag modules and seat-belt 

pretensioners (UN3268) in Class 9. In 

this final rule, PHMSA, consistent with 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1094 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

the UN Model Regulations, is adopting 

new proper shipping names for these 

items, ‘‘Safety devices’’ (UN3268) for 

those articles assigned to Class 9, and 

‘‘Safety Devices, pyrotechnic’’ (UN0503) 

for those articles assigned to Division 

1.4G. Since the proper shipping names 

for these items would no longer be the 

same, there would be no need to use a 

different proper shipping name for these 

articles assigned to Division 1.4G. 

Therefore the need for this special 

provision would be obsolete and we are 

deleting it from the regulations and 

deleting its reference from the UN0503 

entry in the HMT. Under this revision, 

for domestic transportation, air bag 

inflators, air bag modules and seat-belt 

pretensioners (UN0503) meeting the 

criteria for a Division 1.4G explosive, 

that are currently described as ‘‘Articles, 

pyrotechnic for technical purposes’’ 

would be described as ‘‘Safety devices, 

pyrotechnic’’ (UN0503). 

Special Provision 238 

Special provision 238 addresses the 

shipment of neutron radiation detectors. 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

special provision 238 to align with the 

UN Model Regulations special provision 

373 by expanding the transport 

conditions for neutron radiation 

detectors and radiation detection 

systems containing such detectors. 

Paragraph a. is restructured into: (a)(1), 

general transport requirements; (a)(2), 

requirements for radiation detectors 

transported as individual components; 

and (a)(3), requirements for completed 

neutron radiation detection systems 

containing detectors. Consistent with 

the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA is 

adopting the following revisions to the 

transport conditions: [1] In (a)(1), 

increase the total amount of gas 

authorized per detector from 12.8 grams 

to 13 grams; clarify that the minimum 

burst pressure is demonstrated by 

design type qualification testing; and 

add a new leaktightness standard; [2] in 

(a)(2), clarify that in addition to being 

packed in a strong outer package, that 

the completed package must be capable 

of withstanding a drop of 1.8 meters (6- 

foot) without leakage of gas contents; 

and increase the total amount of gas 

from all detectors per outer packaging 

from 51.2 grams to 52 grams; and [3], in 

(a)(3), add a new requirement that for 

completed neutron radiation detection 

systems, the detectors must be 

contained in a strong sealed outer 

casing; and adding a new requirement 

that the completed system must be 

capable of withstanding a 1.8 meter (6- 

foot) drop test without leakage unless a 

system’s outer casing affords equivalent 

protection. 

PHMSA received a comment from 

James Lynch asking how the 1 × 10¥10

cm3/s leaktightness prior to filling limit 

was arrived at and proposing an 

alternative limit amount. The limit, as 

proposed and adopted, was determined 

by the UN Committee of Experts on the 

Transport of Dangerous Goods to 

provide an appropriate level of safety to 

ensure essentially no gas will leak from 

the detector once filled. In the interest 

harmonization is maintaining the limit 

as proposed in the NPRM. Mr. Lynch 

also commented that in paragraph 

(a)(1)(iii) that the 1800 kPa should 

specify ‘‘gauge.’’ While Mr. Lynch is 

correct that paragraph (a)(1)(iii) is 

applicable pressure at the ‘‘gauge,’’ in 

the interest of harmonization PHMSA is 

maintaining the revisions as proposed 

in the NPRM. 

PHMSA received a comment from 

Bechtel Plant Machinery Inc. requesting 

a 90 day extension of the final rule 

comment period to further review the 

logistical and technical impact of these 

proposed regulation changes for the 

transportation of neutron radiation 

detectors. PHMSA is denying Bechtel 

Plant Machinery Inc.’s request for an 

extension of the comment period for 

this final rule. We are revising the HMR 

to maintain alignment with 

international standards by incorporating 

various amendments, including revision 

of the transport conditions for neutron 

radiation detectors in special provision 

238. In addition, the revisions to special 

provision 238 do not invalidate existing 

special permits or de minimis 

interpretations issued by PHMSA. 

Further, for reasons mentioned 

elsewhere in this rulemaking, it is 

imperative that a harmonization 

rulemaking be published on or near 

January 1st, 2015 to facilitate 

unencumbered commerce. It is 

important to note that the transport 

provisions for these detectors in the 

ICAO TI, which this final rule 

harmonizes with, will become effective 

January 1st, 2015. 

Special Provision 342 

This special provision, assigned to 

‘‘UN1040, Ethylene oxide or Ethylene 

oxide with nitrogen’’ allows sterilization 

devices containing ethylene oxide, 

conforming to the conditions in the 

special provision, and packaged in 

accordance with § 173.4a of the HMR to 

be offered for transportation and 

transported by all modes even though 

Column (9A) of the § 172.101 HMT lists 

the material as forbidden by passenger 

aircraft. 

Consistent with the ICAO TI, in this 

final rule PHMSA is further clarifying 

that irrespective of both Columns (9A) 

and (9B) of the § 172.101 HMT listing 

the material as forbidden, ethylene 

oxide conforming to the conditions in 

the special provision is eligible for air 

transport. Specifically, we are 

supplementing the language in this 

special provision ‘‘irrespective of the 

restriction of § 173.4a(b)’’ with ‘‘and the 

indication of ‘‘forbidden’’ in columns 

(9A) and (9B) of the § 172.101 table.’’ 

Special Provision 362 

Special provision 362 specifies when 

a material can be considered a chemical 

under pressure. Specifically, the special 

provision states that classification of 

these materials is to be based on hazard 

characteristics of the components in the 

propellant, the liquid, or the solid 

forms. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising special provision 362 by adding 

a new paragraph (f) to clarify that 

chemicals under pressure containing 

components forbidden for transport on 

both passenger and cargo aircraft must 

not be transported by air. PHMSA 

received one comment from DGAC 

noting that as proposed special 

provision 362 has two paragraph d’s. 

PHMSA has amended the final rule text 

to ensure proper paragraph sequencing. 

Special Provision 367 

A new special provision 367 is added 

to clarify that the proper shipping name 

‘‘Paint related material’’ or ‘‘Printing ink 

related material’’ may be used for 

consignments of packages containing 

both ‘‘Paint’’ and ‘‘Paint related 

material’’ or ‘‘Printing Ink’’ and 

‘‘Printing ink related material’’ in the 

same package and sharing the same 

identification number (UN 1210, UN 

1263, UN 3066, UN 3469, or UN 3470). 

For example, ‘‘UN1263, Paint including 

paint, lacquer, enamel, stain, shellac 

solutions, varnish, polish, liquid filler, 

and liquid lacquer base’’ and ‘‘UN1263, 

Paint related material’’ contained in the 

same package, may be consigned under 

the entry ‘‘UN1263, Paint related 

material including paint thinning, 

drying, removing, or reducing 

compound.’’ Paint mainly consists of 

resin, pigment and solvent. Thinning 

compounds consist primarily of solvent 

as well. Thus, under the same UN entry, 

there is no difference between ‘‘Paint’’ 

and ‘‘Paint related material’’ with regard 

to transport requirements. PHMSA 

received one comment from COSTHA 

providing support for this new 

provision. COSTHA noted that this 

provision will greatly enhance the 

efficiencies of businesses transporting 

these materials.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1095 

Special Provision 368 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding 

new special provision 368 and assigning 

it to ‘‘UN2910, Radioactive material, 

excepted package-limited quantity of 

material’’ to clarify that in the case of 

non-fissile or fissile-excepted uranium 

hexafluoride, the material must be 

classified under UN3507 or UN2978. 

Special Provision 369 

The 18th Revised Edition of the UN 

Model Regulations has adopted a new 

proper shipping name of ‘‘UN3507, 

Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive 

material, excepted package, less than 

0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or fissileexcepted’’, to address small quantities of 

uranium hexafluoride containing 

corrosive properties, thus a new special 

provision is necessary in the HMR. In 

this final rule, PHMSA assigns special 

provision 369 to UN3507 to specify a 

primary hazard of Class 8 with 

subsidiary risk of Class 7, subject to 

certain conditions. 

Special Provision 370 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding 

new special provision 370 and assigning 

it to the revised HMT entry ‘‘UN0222, 

Ammonium Nitrate.’’ In the NPRM, 

PHMSA proposed revising the proper 

shipping name for UN0222 by removing 

the qualifying italicized text assigned to 

UN0222 and including it in this special 

provision. Based on a comment 

submitted by IME and discussed in the 

section-by-section review of 

amendments to Column (2) of the HMT, 

we are not moving the qualifying 

italicized text from the proper shipping 

name to the special provision in this 

final rule. In this final rule, we are 

maintaining paragraph b. of special 

provision 370 as proposed in the NPRM 

to clarify that ammonium nitrate with 

not more than 0.2% combustible 

substances, including any organic 

substance calculated as carbon, to the 

exclusion of any added substance, that 

gives a positive result when tested in 

accordance with Test Series 2 of the UN 

Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I must 

be assigned to UN0222. 

Special Provision 371 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new special provision 371 and assigning 

it to ‘‘UN3164, Articles, pressurized 

pneumatic or hydraulic containing nonflammable gas.’’ This special provision 

sets forth the requirements for confettishooters pressurized with gas instead of 

pyrotechnics. The shooter consists in 

principle, of a jacket of cardboard, the 

pressurized receptacle filled with 

compressed air or nitrogen, a lock 

mechanism made of plastics, a plug of 

rubber and a metal cap for closing the 

receptacle, and different types of 

confetti. By turning a ring, or the bottom 

part of the shooter, a mechanism is 

unlocked and the pressurized gas is 

discharged so that the confetti is shot 

away for a few meters. This type of 

shooter does not contain any amount of 

explosives and therefore cannot be 

assigned to Class 1, and does not meet 

the requirements for gas cartridges or 

small pressure receptacles. The 

requirements set forth in the special 

provision ensure the same level of safety 

as for confetti-shooters with 

pyrotechnics. 

Special Provision 372 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new special provision 372 and assigning 

it to the new HMT entry ‘‘UN3508, 

Capacitor, asymmetric.’’ This special 

provision states that this entry applies 

to asymmetric capacitors with an energy 

storage capacity greater than 0.3 watt 

hours (Wh) and that asymmetric 

capacitors with an energy storage 

capacity of 0.3 Wh or less are not 

subject to the requirements of this 

subchapter. This special provision also 

provides that nickel-carbon asymmetric 

capacitors containing Class 8 alkaline 

electrolytes must be transported as UN 

2795, Batteries, wet, filled with alkali, 

electric storage. PHMSA received one 

comment from COSTHA supporting the 

amendment as proposed noting that this 

provision now gives clear guidance on 

how manufacturers are to ship these 

articles. 

Special Provision A60 

Special provision A60 permits 

‘‘UN2014, Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous 

solution,’’ to be transported in excepted 

quantities. The special provision 

authorizes packagings to include a vent 

to permit the slow escape of gas (i.e. not 

more than 0.1 mL/hour per 30 mL inner 

packaging at 20 °C (68 °F) produced 

from gradual decomposition. As venting 

is permitted, the requirements of 

§§ 173.24(g)(1) and 173.27(c) are 

impracticable and should not apply. To 

address the issue, the ICAO DGP 

adopted a proposal to clarify that these 

general requirements prohibiting 

venting should not be applicable. In this 

final rule, we are harmonizing with the 

ICAO TI and waiving the general 

requirements of §§ 173.24(g)(1) and 

173.27(c). Special provision A60 is 

revised accordingly. 

Special Provision A61 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new special provision A61 and 

assigning it to the HMT entries ‘‘UN 

3107, Organic peroxide type E, liquid’’ 

and ‘‘UN 3109, Organic peroxide type F, 

liquid.’’ PHMSA is aligning with 

Packing Instruction 570 of the ICAO TI 

to allow for limited venting of oxygen in 

the case of specialized peroxyacetic acid 

packagings when transported by cargo 

aircraft, provided the packaging 

requirements of this special provision 

are met. It was reported to the ICAO 

DGP that peroxyacetic acid was 

commonly used as a sterilizer for health 

care purposes and that there is a need 

to transport the material by air for use 

in sterilizing medical equipment using 

custom packagings. The basis for the 

requirements that these specialized 

packagings must meet originated from 

exemptions to permit the transport of 

this substance in small containers 

approved by several national 

authorities. The inclusion of this new 

special provision will eliminate the 

need for these exemptions and facilitate 

international transport. 

IBC Codes and IP Codes 

Section 172.102(c)(4) prescribes 

situations where Large Packagings are 

authorized. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

authorizing the use of large packagings 

for lithium batteries without assigning 

IB3 or IB8 to the corresponding entries 

in the § 172.101 Table by adding a 

reference to § 173.185 before the 

reference to § 173.225(e). See Section 

173.185 Lithium batteries for a detailed 

discussion of the proposed a use of rigid 

large packagings for lithium batteries. In 

this final rule, PHMSA is authorizing 

the use of large packagings for lithium 

batteries without assigning IB3 or IB8 to 

the corresponding entries in the 

§ 172.101 Table by revising by adding a 

reference to § 173.185 before the 

reference to § 173.225(e). See Section 

173.185 Lithium batteries for a detailed 

discussion of the proposed a use of rigid 

large packagings for lithium batteries. 

In two final rules published in the 

Federal Register on January 19, 2011 

(76 FR 3308; HM–215K) and January 7, 

2013 (78 FR 988; HM–215L) the Table 

1 (IBC Codes) in paragraph (c)(4) were 

editorially revised to remove UN 

Specifications 31A, 31B, 31N, 31H1, 

31H2, 31HZ1, and 31HZ2 from IBC 

Codes IB4 through IB8. The revisions 

were consistent with amendments to the 

UN Model Regulations that removed the 

specifications from the indicated codes 

in the table because IBC Codes IB4 

through IB8 are assigned to solids, 

whereas, UN Specifications 31A, 31B, 

31N, 31H1, 31H2, 31HZ1, and 31HZ2 

are authorized for transportation of 

liquids and IBC Codes IB1 through IB3 

and are assigned to liquid materials 

only. Information presented to the UN 

Committee of Experts on the Transport 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1096 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

of Dangerous Goods (UNCOE) in this 

last biennium indicated that the 

removal of the above UN Specifications 

from IBC Codes IB4 through IB8 has 

created a problem. Prior to 

implementation of these revisions, 

certain liquid IBC types were used to 

transport powdery solids and solids that 

become liquid under conditions of 

transport. These solids may be loaded 

and unloaded from the IBC in liquid 

form raising the question of whether the 

remaining IBCs, which are intended for 

gravity or pressure discharge, are 

appropriate. The UN sub-committee 

adopted a proposal to reinstate the IBCs 

that were previously authorized. In this 

final rule, we are harmonizing with the 

UN Model Regulations by revising the 

IBC Codes IB4 through IB8 in paragraph 

(c)(4), Table 1 (IBC Codes) to reinstate 

IBC’s previously authorized. 

A new IP Code 16 is added and 

assigned to UN3375. Consistent with 

international regulations, this special 

provision would authorize require IBCs 

of type 31A and 31N if approved by the 

Associate Administrator. 

Special Provision TP47 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new special provision TP47 and 

assigning it to the organometallic 

substance HMT entries UN3393 through 

UN3399. The special provision waives 

the 2.5 year internal inspection for 

portable tanks used for the transport of 

liquid and solid organometallic 

substances provided that the portable 

tank remains in the dedicated service of 

transporting organometallic substances. 

However, all other required 2.5 year 

inspections and tests would still be 

performed, as well as the full 5 year 

periodic test and inspection, which 

would include an internal inspection. 

Before an internal inspection can be 

performed, the tank must be cleaned 

and purged. In this process, it is 

difficult to ensure that water, 

impurities, or contaminants introduced 

during cleaning are fully removed 

before organometallic substances are 

again introduced into the tank, which 

could potentially result in a dangerous 

reaction or have an effect on the purity 

of the product. Since these 

organometallic substances are fully 

compatible with and are not corrosive to 

the materials of construction used in 

such tanks, the likelihood that an 

internal inspection will reveal any 

corrosion, pitting or other deterioration 

of the tank is unlikely. To increase 

safety and avoid the risk of a dangerous 

reaction or product contamination the 

2.5 year internal inspection is waived, 

provided the portable tank remains in 

the dedicated service of transporting 

organometallic substances and the tank 

does exhibit damaged or corroded areas, 

leakage, or other conditions that 

indicate a deficiency in accordance with 

§ 180.605(f). PHMSA received one 

comment from Dow Chemical in 

support of this special provision. 

Section 172.204 

This section describes the text that 

must be contained within the shipper’s 

certification on a shipping paper. 

PHMSA received a comment from 

Gregory Sutherland noting that PHMSA 

did not propose in the NPRM to align 

the text with the requirements of the UN 

Model Regulations and the IMDG Code 

in Section 172.204(a)(2) to allow the 

shipper’s certification to be either below 

or above the required elements of a 

shipping paper. PHMSA agrees that 

harmonizing provisions for shipper’s 

certification placement and language, by 

providing the allowance to place the 

certification either below or above other 

required elements, is necessary to 

facilitate international commerce. As a 

result, PHMSA is adding a note 

following § 172.204(a)(2) to allow 

substitution of the word ‘‘below’’ for the 

currently authorized ‘‘above’’ if 

appropriate. 

Section 172.315 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

the specifications for the limited 

quantity markings prescribed in 

§ 172.315(a)(2) and (b)(2) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications in the UN Model 

Regulations. To promote uniformity and 

consistency with the UN Model 

Regulations we are allowing 

manufacturers and printers necessary 

time to produce markings that conform 

to the revised specifications, and to 

deplete supplies of existing markings. 

PHMSA is adding a transitional period 

to authorize a limited quantity marking 

that is in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to be used until 

December 31, 2016. PHMSA received 

one comment from DGAC noting that 

many packages, especially those 

containing consumer products, may be 

permanently marked with the limited 

quantity marking and remain in the 

distribution cycle for an extended 

period of time. DGAC recommended 

that a provision be added which 

authorizes limited quantity markings 

conforming to the current requirements 

and permanently affixed to a package to 

be authorized for the useful life of the 

package. PHMSA agrees that there may 

be packages or packagings marked for an 

indefinite period of time and is adding 

a new paragraph (a)(2)(ii) and (b)(2)(ii) 

to § 172.315 to read ‘‘For domestic 

transportation, a packaging marked 

prior to January 1, 2017 and in 

conformance with the requirements of 

this paragraph in effect on December 31, 

2014, may continue in service until the 

end of its useful life.’’ 

Section 172.317 

To promote the uniformity of the 

‘‘Keep Away From Heat’’ handling mark 

throughout the international 

transportation community, the ICAO 

Technical Instructions have adopted 

revisions to clarify and standardize the 

specifications for this hazard 

communications element. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising the 

specifications in § 172.317(b) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications in the ICAO TI. Thus, we 

are adopting provisions to allow 

manufacturers and printers necessary 

time to produce markings that conform 

to the revised specifications, and to 

deplete supplies of existing markings. 

We are also adopting a transitional 

period to authorize a ‘‘Keep Away From 

Heat’’ handling mark that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. For domestic transportation, we 

are authorizing a packaging marked 

with a ‘‘Keep Away From Heat’’ 

handling mark prior to January 1, 2017 

and in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue in 

service until the end of its useful life. 

Section 172.322 

In this final rule, PHMSA is clarifying 

in § 172.322(a)(2) and (b), that the 

marking requirements for marine 

pollutants are required unless otherwise 

provided for in the regulations. 

In § 172.322(e), PHMSA is deleting 

the obsolete date of January 14, 2010 for 

the requirements for the marine 

pollutant mark. 

To promote the uniformity of the 

marine pollutant mark throughout the 

international transportation community, 

the UN Model Regulations have adopted 

revisions to clarify and standardize the 

specifications for this hazard 

communications element. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising § 172.322(e) to 

be consistent with the revised 

specifications for this marking in the 

UN Model Regulations. We are also 

adopting a transitional period to 

authorize a marine pollutant mark that 

is in conformance with the requirements 

of the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016, so that manufacturers and printers

existing supply and to produce 

markings that conform to the revised 

specifications. For domestic 

transportation, we are authorizing a 

packaging marked with a marine 

pollutant mark prior to January 1, 2017 

and in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue in 

service until the end of its useful life. 

Section 172.326 

Section 172.326 prescribes marking 

requirements for portable tanks. PHMSA 

received a comment from Edward 

Altemos noting that in the NPRM 

PHMSA did not propose to harmonize 

this section with recent changes 

adopted into Amendment 37–14 of the 

IMDG Code. Amendment 37–14 of the 

IMDG Code adopted a reduced size 

proper shipping name exception for 

portable tanks having a capacity of less 

than 3,000 L (792.52 gallons). Prior to 

this amendment proper shipping name 

markings on all portable tanks were 

required to be at least 65 mm (2.5 

inches) high. Mr. Atlemos requests 

PHMSA harmonize with the IMDG Code 

on this issue. PHMSA agrees and is 

amending paragraph (a) accordingly. 

Section 172.327 

To promote the uniformity of 

markings, in this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising and clarifying the specifications 

for the ‘‘petroleum sour crude oil’’ mark 

prescribed in § 172.327(a) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications for markings in the UN 

Model Regulations. Also, to allow 

manufacturers and printers necessary 

time to produce markings that conform 

to the revised specifications, and to 

allow for the depletion of supplies of 

existing markings, we are adopting a 

transitional period to authorize a 

‘‘petroleum sour crude oil’’ mark that is 

in conformance with the requirements 

of the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. For domestic transportation, we 

are authorizing a packaging marked 

with a ‘‘petroleum sour crude oil mark’’ 

prior to January 1, 2017 and in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to continue in service until the 

end of its useful life. 

Section 172.407 

The UN Model Regulations have 

adopted revisions to clarify and 

standardize the specifications for labels 

to promote the uniformity of hazard 

communications labels throughout the 

international transportation community. 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

§ 172.407(c) to be consistent with UN 

Model Regulations. In addition, PHMSA 

is revising (d)(2)(iii) that provides a 

color alternative for the symbol on the 

ORGANIC PEROXIDE LABEL to be 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations. Also to be consistent with 

the UN Model Regulations, and to allow 

manufacturers and printers necessary 

time to produce labels that conform to 

the revised specifications, and to allow 

for the depletion of supplies of existing 

labels, we are adopting a transitional 

period to authorize a label that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

DGAC noting that many packages may 

be permanently labeled and remain in 

service for an extended period of time. 

DGAC recommended that a provision be 

added which authorizes labels 

conforming to the current requirements 

and permanently affixed to a package to 

be authorized for the life of the package. 

PHMSA agrees that there may be 

packages or packagings labeled for an 

indefinite period of time and in 

response is adding a new paragraph 

(c)(1)(iv) to § 172.407 to read ‘‘For 

domestic transportation, a packaging 

labeled prior to January 1, 2017 and in 

conformance with the requirements of 

this paragraph in effect on December 31, 

2014, may continue in service until the 

end of its useful life.’’ 

Finally, PHMSA is adding paragraph 

(d)(2)(iv) to permit, consistent with the 

UN Model Regulations, a FLAMMABLE 

GAS label to be displayed on cylinders 

and gas cartridges for liquefied 

petroleum gases, where the symbol may 

be shown in the background color of the 

receptacle if adequate contrast is 

provided. 

Section 172.512 

The placarding requirements for 

freight containers and aircraft unit load 

devices are described in § 172.512. The 

reference in § 172.512(a)(3) to part 7; 

chapter 2, section 2.7 of the ICAO TI in 

this paragraph is inaccurate. This 

reference became inaccurate because 

part 7; chapter 2, section 2.7 of the 

ICAO TI now refers to replacement of 

labels, whereas section 2.8 refers to 

identification of unit load devices 

containing dangerous goods. PHMSA is 

revising this paragraph for the correct 

reference to cite part 7; chapter 2, 

section 2.8. 

Section 172.519 

The UN Model Regulations have 

adopted revisions to clarify and 

standardize the specifications for 

placards. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising the specifications for placards 

prescribed in § 172.519(c) to be 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations. Additionally, to allow 

manufacturers and printers necessary 

time to produce placards that conform 

to the revised specifications, and to 

allow for the depletion of supplies of 

existing placards, we are providing a 

transitional period. This transitional 

period authorizes a placard that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. Finally, PHMSA realizes that in 

domestic transportation, numerous 

placards of a semi-permanent nature are 

in service. PHMSA is allowing, that for 

domestic transportation, a placard 

manufactured prior to January 1, 2017, 

in conformance with the requirements 

of the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, may continue in domestic 

service until the end of its useful life 

provided the color tolerances are 

maintained and are in accordance with 

the display requirements of the 

subchapter. 

Part 173 

Section 173.2a 

Section 173.2a outlines classification 

requirements for materials having more 

than one hazard. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is amending paragraph (a)(1) to 

note that shipments of ‘‘UN3507, 

Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive 

material, excepted package, less than 0.1 

kg per package’’ are not required to 

apply the radioactive hazard as the 

primary hazard. This change is adopted 

to incorporate the transportation 

provisions for excepted packages of 

uranium hexafluoride adopted in the 

18th Revised Edition of the UN Model 

Regulations, the IMDG Code and the 

ICAO TI. 

Section 173.3 

The UN Model Regulations have 

adopted revisions to clarify and 

standardize the specifications for 

markings. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising the specifications for markings 

for salvage packagings prescribed in 

§ 173.3(c)(3); salvage cylinders 

prescribed in § 173.3(d)(3); and 

prescribing requirements for the 

marking of the proposed large salvage 

packaging in § 173.3(f) to be consistent 

with the revised specifications for 

salvage packaging markings in the UN 

Model Regulations. Also, to be 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, and to allow shippers 

necessary time to implement the new 

marking requirements, we are adopting 

a transitional period to authorize a 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1098 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

marking that is in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to be used until 

December 31, 2016. PHMSA also 

realizes that salvage packagings and 

salvage cylinders are typically marked 

in a durable manner. PHMSA is 

authorizing, for domestic transportation, 

a salvage packaging or a salvage 

cylinder that is marked prior to January 

1, 2017 in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue in 

service until the end of its useful life. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

RIPA supporting the transition period 

for ‘‘already fabricated and durably 

marked salvage packagings,’’ but 

requesting an additional transition year 

for embossed packagings. PHMSA notes 

however, that as is being adopted in this 

final rule a salvage cylinder that is 

marked prior to January 1, 2017 in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, may continue in service until 

the end of its useful life. 

Also PHMSA is adding a new 

paragraph (f) to § 173.3 authorizing and 

prescribing the use of large salvage 

packaging for all modes of 

transportation other than air. PHMSA 

received one comment from RIPA 

providing general support for the 

amendments as proposed. 

Section 173.4a 

The UN Model Regulations have been 

revised to clarify and standardize the 

specifications for the marking of 

excepted quantities of packaged 

hazardous materials. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is revising § 173.4a(g)(2) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications for these markings in the 

UN Model Regulations. We are adding 

a transition period so that 

manufacturers and printers can produce 

markings that conform to the revised 

specifications, and deplete existing 

supplies. An excepted quantities 

marking that is in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, can be used until 

December 31, 2016. For domestic 

transportation, we are authorizing a 

packaging marked with an excepted 

quantities marking prior to January 1, 

2017 and in conformance with the 

requirements of the regulations in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue in 

service until the end of its useful life. 

Section 173.9 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

the specifications for the fumigant 

marking prescribed in § 173.9(e) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications for these markings in the 

UN Model Regulations. Also consistent 

with the UN Model Regulations, to 

allow manufacturers and printers 

necessary time to produce markings that 

conform to the revised specifications, 

and to allow for the depletion of 

supplies of existing markings, we are 

authorizing a transitional period to 

authorize a fumigant marking that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. 

Section 173.11 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new § 173.11 that provides exceptions 

to the regulations for certain light bulbs 

containing hazardous materials based 

on their transport conditions, the 

quantity of hazardous materials 

contained in each light bulb or package, 

and the type of packaging. This new 

section is consistent with newly 

adopted provisions in the UN Model 

Regulations. In the NPRM, PHMSA 

proposed using the term ‘‘lamp’’ in this 

section for consistency with the 

language contained in the UN Model 

Regulations. However, a reference to 

‘‘light bulbs’’ remained in 

§ 173.307(a)(6). PHMSA received one 

comment from Alaska Airlines noting 

that this may be confusing for shippers 

and suggested defining the terms lamp 

and light bulb. We agree that using both 

of these terms may be confusing; 

however we do not believe there is a 

need for defining these two terms as 

they apply to the same commodity. 

Therefore, in this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising the language in § 173.11 and 

§ 173.307 to include the term ‘‘lamp’’ in 

association with ‘‘light bulb.’’ 

Section 173.24 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

§ 173.24 to authorize the use of 

supplementary packagings within an 

outer packaging (e.g., an intermediate 

packaging or a receptacle inside a 

required inner packaging) in addition to 

what is required by the regulations 

provided all applicable requirements are 

met and, if appropriate, suitable 

cushioning is used to prevent movement 

within the packaging. This revision is 

consistent with newly adopted 

provisions in the UN Model 

Regulations. PHMSA received one 

comment from Veolia requesting 

clarification that the newly proposed 

requirement under § 173.24(c)(2) for the 

use of ‘‘appropriate suitable 

cushioning’’ is only required when 

movement of the inner receptacles 

within the outer packaging would result 

in breakage of the inner receptacles 

during transportation. PHMSA has 

revised § 173.24(c)(2) to clarify that 

appropriate suitable cushioning is only 

required when necessary. 

Section 173.25 

To promote the uniformity of 

markings, the UN Model Regulations 

have been revised to clarify and 

standardize the specifications for the 

overpack marking. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is revising § 173.25(a)(4) to be 

consistent with the revised 

specifications for these markings in the 

UN Model Regulations. Also consistent 

with the UN Model Regulations, to 

allow manufacturers and printers 

necessary time to produce markings that 

conform to the revised specifications, 

and to allow for the depletion of 

supplies of existing markings, we are 

adopting a transitional period to 

authorize an overpack marking that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. For domestic transportation, we 

are authorizing an overpack marked 

with an overpack marking prior to 

January 1, 2017 and in conformance 

with the requirements of the regulations 

in effect on December 31, 2014, to 

continue in service until the end of its 

useful life. PHMSA received one 

comment from RIPA providing general 

support for this amendment. 

Section 173.62 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, in this final rule, PHMSA 

is revising § 173.62 relating to specific 

packaging requirements for explosives 

as follows: 

In paragraph (b), in the Explosives 

Table, the entry for UN0222 is revised 

to expand the packaging authorizations 

to include Packing Instruction 117 in 

addition to the existing Packaging 

Instructions 112(b) and 112(c). 

In paragraph (c), in the Table of 

Packing Methods, Packing Instruction 

116 is revised to delete provision 5, 

which states that woven plastic bags 

(5H2 or 5H3) must be used only for UN 

0082, 0241, 0331 and 0332. Packing 

Instruction 117 is revised to add 

provision 5 which states, ‘‘For UN0222, 

when other than metal or rigid plastics 

IBCs are used, they must be offered for 

transportation in a closed freight 

container or a closed transport 

vehicle.’’; and provision 6 which states, 

‘‘For UN0222, flexible IBCs must be siftproof and water-resistant or must be 

fitted with a sift-proof and waterresistant liner.’’ Packing Instructions 

131 and 137 are revised to expand the 

authorization for outer packagings to 

include solid plastic boxes (4H2).

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1099 

Section 173.115 

Section 173.115 prescribes the 

definitions for Class 2 materials. In this 

final rule a new paragraph (m) is added 

to define the term ‘‘Adsorbed gas.’’ The 

term means a gas which when packaged 

for transport is adsorbed onto a solid 

porous material resulting in an internal 

receptacle pressure of less than 101.3 

kPa at 20 °C and less than 300 kPa at 

50 °C. 

Currently the HMR do not prescribe 

requirements for the transport of 

adsorbed gases. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is adopting various 

transportation requirements for 

adsorbed gases. Therefore in this final 

rule we are adopting the above 

definition of an adsorbed gas based on 

the definition found in the 18th Revised 

Edition of the UN Model Regulations, 

the IMDG Code and the ICAO TI. 

Section 173.121 

Section 173.121 prescribes the 

requirements for the selection of 

packing groups for Class 3 flammable 

liquids. Paragraph (b) of this section 

describes the criteria for inclusion of 

viscous Class 3 materials in Packing 

Group III. Paragraph (b)(1)(ii) currently 

states that the mixture cannot contain 

any substances with a primary or 

subsidiary risk of Division 6.1 or Class 

8. In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

paragraph (b)(1)(ii) to clarify that a 

mixture or any separated solvent cannot 

contain any substances with a primary 

or subsidiary risk of Division 6.1 or 

Class 8. This change is consistent with 

the current language in the 18th Revised 

Edition of the UN Model Regulations, 

the IMDG Code and the ICAO TI. 

Section 173.127 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

§ 173.127(a) to authorize an alternative 

test for assigning packing groups to 

Division 5.1 oxidizing solids. The test is 

in addition to the currently authorized 

test using potassium bromate/cellulose 

mixture. The alternative test uses 

calcium peroxide as a reference 

substance which is neither carcinogenic 

nor as acutely toxic as potassium 

bromate. In addition, the alternative test 

replaces the highly subjective visual 

determination of the burning time with 

a gravimetric determination of the 

burning rate. This change is consistent 

with the test adopted into the UN Model 

Regulations. 

Section 173.151 

Section 173.151 provides exceptions 

for Class 4 hazardous materials. In this 

final rule, PHMSA is revising paragraph 

(b) to replace a pre-existing paragraph 

(b)(2) relating to exceptions for charcoal 

briquettes (NA1361) that was 

inadvertently deleted in the final rule 

dated January 7, 2013 (HM–215K; 78 FR 

1101). 

Section 173.161 

Section 173.161 prescribes packaging 

requirements for chemical kits and first 

aid kits that contain small amounts of 

hazardous materials. Paragraph (b)(2) 

contains the requirement that ‘‘The 

packing group assigned to the chemical 

kit and first aid kit as a whole must be 

the most stringent packing group 

assigned to any individual substance in 

the kit . . .’’ This requirement creates 

problems for shippers and air transport 

acceptance personnel because it does 

not specify what must be shown for the 

packing group on the shipping paper, or 

what packaging standard must be 

applied to kits containing hazardous 

materials to which no packing group is 

assigned. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising paragraph (b)(2) to require that 

for kits containing only hazardous 

materials to which no packing group is 

assigned, a packing group need not be 

indicated on the shipping paper 

although such packagings shall meet the 

Packing Group II performance level. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

UPS providing full support for the 

amendments as proposed. 

Section 173.164 

Section 173.164 prescribes 

requirements for the transportation of 

Mercury (metallic and articles 

containing mercury). In this final rule, 

PHMSA is eliminating the existing 

exception for lamps containing mercury 

in paragraph (a)(5) since this exception 

will be covered in the new § 173.11 

relating to exceptions for shipment of 

light bulbs containing hazardous 

materials. 

Section 173.166 

Section 173.166 prescribes 

requirements for the transportation of 

air bag inflators, air bag modules and 

seat-belt pretensioners, UN3268 and 

UN0503. Due to technological 

developments, new safety devices for 

vehicles are becoming available. The 

devices include pyromechanical devices 

that meet the definition of a hazardous 

material but are not accurately 

described by the proper shipping names 

Air bag inflators, Air bag modules, or 

Seat-belt pretensioners. The proper 

shipping name for these devices has 

been revised in the UN Model 

Regulations to ‘‘Safety devices, 

electrically initiated’’ for UN 3268 and 

‘‘Safety devices, pyrotechnic’’ for 

UN0503. Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, PHMSA is adopting these 

revised proper shipping names and 

revising § 173.166 to adopt the term 

‘‘Safety Devices’’ for these items. An 

entry for the existing proper shipping 

name ‘‘Air bag inflators, or Air bag 

modules, or Seat-belt pretensioners’’ has 

been left in the § 172.101 Hazardous 

Materials Table to direct the reader to 

the new proper shipping names ‘‘Safety 

devices, electrically initiated’’ and 

‘‘Safety devices, pyrotechnic.’’ PHMSA 

received multiple comments (Takata, 

Autoliv, TRW Automotive, and 

COSTHA) supporting the inclusion of 

new proper shipping names for ‘‘Safety 

devices.’’ 

The current § 173.166(b)(1)(iv) 

provides that under certain conditions a 

Class 9 (UN3268) air bag inflator, air bag 

module, or seat-belt pretensioner design 

is not required to be submitted to the 

Associate Administrator for approval or 

assigned an EX number. In the NPRM, 

PHMSA proposed not extending this 

exception to all Class 9 safety devices 

and maintaining this exception only for 

air bag inflators, air bag modules, and 

seat-belt pretensioners. All other types 

of safety devices, such as 

pyromechanical devices, that are 

candidates for Class 9 must be 

submitted to the Associate 

Administrator for approval. Takata, 

Autoliv, TRW Automotive, and 

COSTHA provided comments opposing 

PHMSA’s proposal to not extend this 

exception to all ‘‘Safety, devices.’’ A 

summary of the commenters’ positions 

follows: 

• Employees who prepare shipping 

papers will have a difficult task to 

determine when an EX number is or is 

not required to be contained on the 

shipping paper, and training for this 

requirement by January 1, 2015 will be 

difficult to achieve. 

• Automated software used to prepare 

shipping papers for hazardous materials 

will not be capable of differentiating 

between air bag inflators, air bag 

modules, seat-belt pretensioners and all 

other Class 9 (UN3268) safety devices. 

Software programs are written to either 

require an EX number or not require an 

EX number for UN3268 (Class 9) 

devices. 

• Carriers are not capable of 

determining when a Class 9, UN3268 

‘‘Safety Device’’ does or does not require 

an EX number on the shipping papers. 

• PHMSA approved explosives test 

labs will witness testing of Safety 

Devices, other than air bag inflators, air 

bag modules and seat-belt pretensioners, 

to determine proper classification. The 

devices will either pass criteria for 

classification as Class 9 (UN3268), Class 

1.4G (UN0503) or they will fail to obtain 

classification as a Safety Device. There 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1100 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

will be no increased risk to safety based 

on the explosives examiner’s 

classification determination. 

• The new Safety Devices, other than 

air bag inflators, air bag modules and 

seat-belt pretensioners, have already 

been manufactured and shipped for 

several years, but with classifications 

such as Class 1.4S (UN0323) or ‘‘Not 

regulated as a Class 1 Explosive’’. These 

devices typically contain significantly 

lower amounts of pyrotechnics, and 

therefore pose less risk to safety when 

shipping and handling. The commenters 

are not aware of any incidents or 

accidents involving these devices. 

• Adding the requirement for certain 

Safety Devices to be submitted to 

PHMSA for approval and an EX number 

will add to PHMSA’s approval 

workload. Current processing time for 

approvals is 180 to 200 days. This delay 

in bringing new products to market will 

hurt U.S. manufacturers and carriers 

because new products will be sourced to 

other nations. 

As noted in the proposed rule, the 

three items currently excepted have a 

long history of safety in their design and 

manufacture. New devices do not yet 

have such an established safety history. 

PHMSA, in the interest of safety, is 

limiting use of the exception to articles 

and devices currently authorized under 

the exception. PHMSA is not opposed to 

reexamining the exception from 

Associate Administrator approval for all 

safety devices, once a sufficient number 

of these new devices have been 

evaluated and the data provides 

assurance that an appropriate level of 

safety is maintained. PHMSA is 

however excepting these new types of 

safety devices classified as Class 9 

materials from the requirement to mark 

the EX number on shipping papers and 

packages by revising § 173.166(c)(2). 

This revision addresses the commenters 

concerns about the ability for carriers 

and downstream offerors to know when 

a safety device classified as a Class 9 

material does or does not require an EX 

number to be indicated on 

documentation or packages. 

Additionally, in this final rule, 

PHMSA is adding a new paragraph 

(d)(5) to § 173.166 to permit the 

continued transportation of an air bag 

inflator, air bag module, or seat-belt 

pretensioner that was classed and 

approved for transportation prior to 

January 1, 2015 under the terms of the 

existing approval, using the proper 

shipping name ‘‘Safety Devices’’ or 

‘‘Safety Devices, Pyrotechnic’’ as 

appropriate. 

PHMSA received a comment from 

COSTHA noting potential logistical 

problems ensuring that all packages, 

either currently in transportation or in 

storage awaiting further offering in 

transportation, are both marked and 

described with the new proper shipping 

names ‘‘Safety devices’’ or ‘‘Safety 

devices, pyrotechnic’’ as appropriate. 

COSTHA notes that while the majority 

of shippers of these devices are 

transitioning to the new authorized 

shipping names for documentation 

purposes, ensuring proper shipping 

name markings on packages are 

consistent with the new shipping names 

may prove difficult. COSTHA asks for a 

transitional period for packages 

containing ‘‘Air bag inflators’’, ‘‘Air bag 

modules’’, and ‘‘Seat-belt pretensioners’’ 

allowing them to be marked with 

previously authorized proper shipping 

names while shipping papers would 

indicate the new proper shipping names 

as proposed in the NPRM. 

PHMSA agrees that this situation may 

occur, and in this final rule PHMSA is 

adding a new paragraph (d)(6) to 

§ 173.166 to permit until January 1, 

2016, the domestic transportation by 

highway, rail, and vessel of packages 

containing ‘‘Air bag inflators’’, ‘‘Air bag 

modules’’, or ‘‘Seat-belt pretensioners’’ 

that are marked or documented either 

with a previously authorized proper 

shipping name (Air bag inflators, Air 

bag modules, or Seat-belt pretensioners) 

for these articles; or with the 

appropriate new proper shipping name 

authorized under this rulemaking 

(Safety devices or Safety devices, 

pyrotechnic). This exception can be 

applied in part or in whole. Packages 

may be marked with a previously 

authorized proper shipping name (e.g., 

Air bag inflators) and declared on 

shipping papers with a proper shipping 

name authorized under this rulemaking 

(e.g., Safety devices). Conversely, 

packages may be marked with a proper 

shipping name authorized under this 

rulemaking (e.g., Safety devices) and 

declared on shipping papers with a 

previously authorized proper shipping 

name (e.g., Air bag inflators). It is also 

important to note that in accordance 

with the January 1, 2016 delayed 

compliance date of this rulemaking, 

packages that are both marked and 

declared using a proper shipping name 

in effect on December 31, 2014 may 

continue to be offered for transport and 

transported until January 1, 2016. 

Section 173.167 

Section 173.167 prescribes the 

requirements for consumer commodities 

intended for air transportation. In this 

final rule, PHMSA is revising the drop 

test requirements in (a)(4) by including 

the criteria for passing the test. A 

completed consumer commodity 

package will be considered to have 

passed the drop test if the outer 

packaging does not exhibit any damage 

liable to affect safety during transport 

and there is no leakage from the inner 

packaging(s). 

Section 173.176 

This section addresses capacitors by 

prescribing the testing, marking, safety, 

and packaging requirements for electric 

double layer capacitors with energy 

storage capacity greater than 0.3 watt 

hours (Wh). In this final rule, PHMSA 

is revising § 173.176 to include 

provisions for asymmetric capacitors in 

accordance with the new HMT entry 

‘‘UN3508, Capacitor, asymmetric (with 

an energy storage capacity greater than 

0.3Wh).’’ In addition, paragraph (a)(5) 

presently requires that capacitors must 

be marked with the energy storage 

capacity in Wh. Many pre-existing 

capacitors do not have Wh marking and 

are not permitted to be transported even 

when all other requirements of this 

section are met. PHMSA is amending 

paragraph (a)(5) to require that the Wh 

marking is required for non-asymmetric 

capacitors manufactured after December 

31, 2013 and for asymmetric capacitors 

manufactured after December 31, 2015. 

Section 173.181 

This section prescribes the non-bulk 

packaging requirements applicable to 

pyrophoric liquids. On January 7, 2013, 

PHMSA published final rule PHMSA– 

2012–0027 (HM–215L) [78 FR 987] to 

maintain alignment with international 

standards by incorporating various 

amendments, including changes to 

proper shipping names, hazard classes, 

packing groups, special provisions, 

packaging authorizations, air transport 

quantity limitations, and vessel stowage 

requirements. In that final rule, PHMSA 

revised paragraphs (b) and (c) to add 

authorized packagings for these 

materials. Paragraphs (c)1–3 were 

inadvertently deleted due to an 

incorrect amendatory instruction and in 

this final rule, PHMSA is placing 

paragraphs (c)1–3 back into § 173.181 as 

they were prior to the publication of 

HM–215L. 

Section 173.185 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding 

paragraph (b)(6) and revising 

paragraph(f)(3) to authorize and 

prescribe the use of a large packaging for 

a single large lithium battery or a battery 

contained in equipment. This 

authorization does not include 

transportation by aircraft. The addition 

of this packaging type into this section 

is consistent with provisions for lithium 

batteries in the UN Model Regulations. 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1101 

PHMSA received one comment from 

COSTHA in support of this proposal. 

The ICAO DGP took a decision during 

the most recent biennium to remove the 

alternative written documentation 

option in Section IB of ICAO TI Packing 

Instructions 965 and 968 and instead 

require a standard transport document 

(shipping paper). Section IB is 

applicable to packages that exceed the 

number or quantity (mass) limits for 

smaller lithium batteries in Section II of 

Packing Instructions 965 and 968, thus 

excepting such packages from 

specification packaging requirements 

when containing no more than 2.5 kg of 

lithium metal cells or batteries or 10 kg 

of lithium ion cells or batteries per 

package. As this revision will appear in 

the 2015–2016 Edition of the ICAO TI, 

in this final rule PHMSA is amending 

paragraph (c)(4)(v) to require a shipping 

paper for these packages containing no 

more than 2.5 kg of lithium metal cells 

or batteries or 10 kg of lithium ion cells 

or batteries per package. PHMSA sought 

input as to the costs and benefits of 

harmonizing the provisions of the HMR 

with the provisions of the ICAO 

Technical Instructions by requiring 

shipping papers as opposed to 

alternative documentation. PHMSA also 

solicited comments on the costs and 

benefits of maintaining a domestic 

difference within the HMR to continue 

to allow the use of the alternative 

documentation in lieu of a shipping 

paper as required by the ICAO 

Technical Instructions. PHMSA 

received comments from UPS and 

Alaska Airlines concerning removal of 

the alternative document. UPS 

supported our proposed change to the 

documentation requirement for 

packages containing smaller lithium 

batteries transported in accordance with 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v). UPS also commented 

that the proposal to introduce a 

shipping paper requirement for 

shipments offered under 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) could be interpreted 

to conflict with the statement in the 

preceding paragraph § 173.185(c) that 

such shipments are excepted from the 

requirements in subparts C through H of 

part 172. UPS suggests that § 173.185(c) 

should be clarified in this regard. We 

agree clarification is warranted. Alaska 

Airlines commented that they would 

like to see increased harmonization 

between the 49 CFR and ICAO TI with 

regard to the documentation required 

while stating there is no reason to 

deviate from the ICAO TI. We agree, and 

note that the amendments proposed do 

provide for such consistency. 

Taking into account the comments 

from Alaska Airlines, PHMSA 

confirmed that the proposed 

documentation amendments do align 

with the requirements of the ICAO TI. 

However, in this final rule PHMSA is 

revising § 173.185(c)(4)(v) as suggested 

by UPS for clarity. This editorial 

amendment will clarify that packages 

offered in accordance with 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) are subject to the 

shipping paper requirements of subpart 

C of Part 172. 

At the April 2014 meeting, the ICAO 

Working Group on Lithium Batteries, 

forbade the shipment of lithium metal 

cells and batteries as cargo on passenger 

aircraft with the exception of lithium 

metal cells and batteries packed with or 

contained in equipment not exceeding 5 

kg net weight. This prohibition of 

lithium metal batteries as cargo on 

passenger aircraft is consistent with 

current HMR requirements. As a 

consequence to this prohibition, Section 

II of Packing Instruction 968 in the 

ICAO TI was amended to require 

shipments of small lithium metal cells 

and batteries to display the ‘‘CARGO 

AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ label where 

previously only a lithium battery 

handling marking was required. 

Presently under the HMR, a package 

containing such lithium metal cells or 

batteries as provided in 

§ 173.185(c)(1)(iii), is required to be 

marked ‘‘PRIMARY LITHIUM 

BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR 

TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER 

AIRCRAFT’’ or ‘‘LITHIUM METAL 

BATTERIES—FORBIDDEN FOR 

TRANSPORT ABOARD PASSENGER 

AIRCRAFT.’’ In this final rule, PHMSA 

is providing an alternative to the 

existing marking requirement in 

§ 173.185(c)(1)(iii) with the option to 

display a ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ 

label. This allowance to either utilize 

the current marking or the ‘‘CARGO 

AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ label provides 

shippers with the flexibility to utilize 

supplies of preprinted markings or 

packagings, while also allowing 

shippers to transition to the use of the 

‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ if desired. 

PHMSA received comments from UPS 

and COSTHA in support of the 

proposal. UPS also commented that the 

provision in this paragraph excepting 

lithium metal cells or batteries packed 

with or contained in equipment in 

quantities ‘‘less than 5 kg net weight’’ 

from the § 173.185(c)(1)(iii) marking 

requirement differs slightly in wording 

from the current ICAO TI and previous 

requirements of the HMR. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising 

§ 173.185(c)(1)(iii) as proposed in the 

NPRM with an additional editorial 

revision to clarify that lithium metal 

cells or batteries packed with or 

contained in equipment in quantities 

‘‘not exceeding’’ as opposed to ‘‘less 

than’’ 5 kg net weight are not subject to 

the marking or ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT 

ONLY’’ label requirement. This 

provides editorial consistency with the 

provisions of the ICAO TI. 

Section 173.199 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

the specifications for the Category B 

infectious substance marking in 

§ 173.199(a)(5) to be consistent with the 

revised specifications for these markings 

in the UN Model Regulations. Also 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, to allow manufacturers and 

printers necessary time to produce 

markings that conform to the revised 

specifications, and to allow for the 

depletion of supplies of existing 

markings, we are adopting a transitional 

period to authorize a Category B 

infectious substance marking that is in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to be used until December 31, 

2016. For domestic transportation, we 

are authorizing a packaging marked 

with a Category B infectious substance 

marking prior to January 1, 2017 and in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to continue in service until the 

end of its useful life. 

Section 173.225 

This section prescribes packaging 

requirements and other provisions for 

organic peroxides. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is revising the Organic Peroxide 

Portable Tank Table in paragraph (g). 

PHMSA is revising the entry in the 

second column of the table pertaining to 

the hazardous material ‘‘Peroxyacetic 

acid, distilled, stabilized, not more than 

41%’’ to include a Note 1, that a 

‘‘Corrosive’’ subsidiary risk placard is 

required.’’ The adoption of this 

requirement is consistent with the 

requirements in the UN Model 

Regulations. 

Section 173.231 

Currently, the § 172.101 HMT Column 

(8B) packaging authorization for 

Ammonium nitrate emulsion, 

suspension, or gel, UN3375, directs the 

reader to § 173.214 which requires that 

packagings and methods of shipment 

must be approved by the Associate 

Administrator prior to the first 

shipment. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

adding a new § 173.231 titled 

‘‘Ammonium nitrate emulsion, 

suspension, or gel’’ and assigning this 

section to UN3375 to authorize and 

prescribe the use of non-bulk 

packagings for this material. The 

requirements of the new section are 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1102 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

consistent with the requirements in the 

UN Model Regulations. 

Section 173.251 

Currently, the § 172.101 HMT Column 

(8C) packaging authorization for 

Ammonium nitrate emulsion, 

suspension, or gel, UN3375, directs the 

reader to § 173.214 which requires that 

packagings and method of shipment 

must be approved by the Associate 

Administrator prior to the first 

shipment. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

adding a new § 173.251 titled ‘‘Bulk 

packaging for ammonium nitrate 

emulsion, suspension, or gel’’ and 

assigning this section to UN3375 to 

authorize and prescribe the use of IBC’s 

for this material. The requirements of 

the new section are consistent with the 

requirements in the UN Model 

Regulations. 

Section 173.301b 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

paragraph (c) relating to pressure 

receptacle valve requirements to include 

that a valve manufactured on or before 

December 31, 2008, conforming to the 

requirements in ISO 10297:1999 is 

authorized. This proposed revision is 

consistent with the requirements in the 

UN Model Regulations. The 

redesignation of several paragraphs in 

§ 178.71 requires an amendment to 

paragraph (g) of § 173.301b. The current 

reference for marking requirements for 

cylinders manufactured in accordance 

with the requirements for underwater 

use direct the user to § 178.71(o)(17). 

This citation is incorrect prior to the 

publication of this rule and should have 

been (p)(18). With the redesignation of 

§ 178.71(p) as paragraph (q), this 

reference is being changed to 

§ 178.71(q)(18). 

Section 173.302 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adopting 

the new UN Model Regulation 

requirements for the transportation of 

adsorbed gases in cylinders. This 

section specifies requirements for the 

filling of cylinders with non-liquefied 

(permanent) compressed gases. PHMSA 

is amending the title of this section and 

paragraph (a) to include and specify 

requirements for the transportation of 

adsorbed gases. 

Section 172.302c 

In this final rule, PHMSA is adding a 

new § 173.302c to adopt the new 

authorization in the UN Model 

Regulations for the transportation of 

adsorbed gases in UN pressure 

receptacles. The adoption of these 

requirements into this new section is 

consistent with the requirements in the 

UN Model Regulations. 

Section 173.307 

Section 173.307 provides exceptions 

from the regulations for compressed 

gases. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising paragraph (a)(5) relating to 

manufactured articles or apparatuses to 

clarify that the exception for 

manufactured articles does not include 

light bulbs. The exceptions for light 

bulbs are contained in the new § 173.11 

relating to exceptions for shipment of 

light bulbs containing hazardous 

materials. Also, we are revising 

paragraph (a)(6) relating to light bulbs to 

clarify that the exceptions do not apply 

to light bulbs as described in the new 

§ 173.11 relating to exceptions for 

shipment of light bulbs containing 

hazardous materials. 

Section 173.309 

Section 173.309 prescribes 

requirements for fire extinguishers. In 

this final rule, we are adding a new 

introductory paragraph describing fire 

extinguisher types authorized for 

transport in accordance with this 

section and covered by the HMT entry 

‘‘UN1044, Fire extinguishers.’’ PHMSA 

received one comment from UPS 

providing general support for the 

proposed amendments as proposed. 

Section 173.403 

Consistent with the UN Model 

regulations, in this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising two definitions in § 173.403 

relating to the transportation of Class 7 

(Radioactive Materials). ‘‘Exclusive 

Use’’ is revised to clarify that it also 

applies to the shipment of the load and 

that exclusive use only applies when 

compliance is required by the 

regulations. ‘‘Freight Container’’ is 

revised to eliminate the requirement 

that a ‘‘small freight container’’ has one 

outer dimension less than 1.5 m (4.9 

feet). 

Section 173.415 

Section 173.415 authorizes Type A 

packages for the transport of Class 7 

(radioactive) materials. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is amending paragraph (d) to 

reflect the incorporation by reference 

(IBR) of the IAEA Regulations for the 

Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 

SSR–6 2012 Edition. Please see the 

Section-by-Section Review under 

§ 171.7 for a discussion of the 

incorporation by reference. 

Section 173.416 

Section 173.416 authorizes Type B 

packages for the transport of Class 7 

(radioactive) materials. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is amending paragraph (b) to 

reflect the incorporation by reference 

(IBR) of the IAEA Regulations for the 

Safe Transport of Radioactive Material, 

SSR–6 2012 Edition. Please see the 

Section-by-Section Review under 

§ 171.7 for a discussion of the 

incorporation by reference. 

Section 173.417 

Section 173.417 authorizes fissile 

materials packages for the transport of 

Class 7 (radioactive) materials. In this 

final rule, PHMSA is amending 

paragraphs (a)(1)(iii) and (b)(2) to reflect 

the incorporation by reference (IBR) of 

the IAEA Regulations for the Safe 

Transport of Radioactive Material, SSR– 

6 2012 Edition. Please see the Sectionby-Section Review under § 171.7 for a 

discussion of the incorporation by 

reference. 

Section 173.420 

Section 173.420 prescribes the 

transport conditions for uranium 

hexafluoride. In this final rule, PHMSA 

is amending this paragraph to note that 

fissile-excepted shipments less than 0.1 

kg may be offered under UN3507. These 

requirements align with IAEA SSR–6 

requirements, while maintaining general 

packaging requirements from §§ 173.24 

and 173.24a. 

Section 173.435 

Section 173.435 provides a table of A1

and A2 values for radionuclides for 

Class 7 (radioactive) materials. In this 

final rule, PHMSA is amending note a to 

the table to reflect the incorporation by 

reference (IBR) of the IAEA Regulations 

for the Safe Transport of Radioactive 

Material, SSR–6 2012 Edition. Please 

see the Section-by-Section Review 

under § 171.7 for a discussion of the 

incorporation by reference. 

Section 173.466 

Section 173.466 specifies additional 

tests for Type A packagings designed for 

liquids and gases. During the review of 

this section, we found that paragraphs 

(a)(1) and (a)(2) were inadvertently 

removed in a final rule published in the 

Federal Register on July 11, 2014 (79 FR 

40589; HM–250). As a result, PHMSA is 

reinstating (a)(1) and (a)(2) as they read 

prior to publication of the HM–250 final 

rule. 

Section 173.473 

Section 173.473 provides the 

requirements for foreign made packages 

for the transport of Class 7 (radioactive) 

materials. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

amending the introductory paragraph 

and paragraph (a)(1) to reflect the 

incorporation by reference (IBR) of the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1103 

IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport 

of Radioactive Material, SSR–6 2012 

Edition. Please see the Section-bySection Review under § 171.7 for a 

discussion of the incorporation by 

reference. 

Part 175 

Section 175.9 

Section 175.9 prescribes the 

applicability of the HMR to special 

aircraft and rotocraft operations. This 

section also prescribes the conditions 

under which certain operations may be 

performed in accordance with 14 CFR 

and 49 CFR (e.g., avalanche and weather 

control). Consistent with the ICAO TI, 

in this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

paragraphs (b)(6) and (b)(6)(v) by 

including ‘‘ice jam control’’ and 

‘‘landslide clearance’’ for operations 

where explosives are used in a similar 

manner to avalanche control. 

Section 175.10 

Section 175.10 specifies the 

conditions for which passengers, crew 

members, or an operator may carry 

hazardous materials aboard an aircraft. 

Consistent with revisions to the ICAO 

TI, in this final rule, PHMSA is making 

several revisions to this section. 

PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(11), 

applicable to passenger provisions for 

self-inflating life jackets, to include 

different types of self-inflating personal 

safety devices in order to account for 

those carried by, but not limited to, 

motorcycle and horseback riders. In 

addition, PHMSA is clarifying that a 

passenger is limited to one self-inflating 

safety device, in addition to two spare 

cartridges, and is requiring that both the 

safety device and spares be packed in 

such a manner that they cannot be 

accidently activated. 

PHMSA is adding a new 

subparagraph (a)(18)(iv) to clarify that 

articles containing lithium metal or 

lithium ion cells or batteries, with a 

primary function to provide power to 

another device, must be carried as spare 

batteries in accordance with the 

provisions of this paragraph. Examples 

of such articles are portable power 

banks, portable charging stations, 

portable battery chargers, portable 

rechargers, back-up battery power 

stations, battery power packs, and 

auxiliary power sources containing 

lithium batteries. During the review of 

this provision, we found that the 

preceding paragraph (a)(18)(iii) was 

inadvertently removed in a final rule 

published in the Federal Register on 

August 6, 2014 (79 FR 46011; HM– 

224F). As a result, PHMSA is reinstating 

(a)(18)(iii). 

PHMSA is revising paragraph (a)(24), 

applicable to small cartridges for other 

devices, by amending the phrase ‘‘small 

cylinders’’ to ‘‘small cartridges,’’ and 

restricting the carriage of small gas 

cartridges to only those without a 

subsidiary risk. The existing operator 

approval requirement was moved to 

make it more clearly align with the 

ICAO TI. 

Section 175.25 

Section 175.25 prescribes the 

notification that operators must provide 

to passengers regarding restrictions on 

the types of hazardous material they 

may or may not carry aboard an aircraft 

on their person or in checked or carryon baggage. Consistent with revisions to 

the ICAO TI, in this final rule, PHMSA 

is revising paragraph (b) as follows: (1) 

For all ticket purchases, clarify that the 

hazardous materials notification must 

be presented at the point of ticket 

purchase, or if this is not practical, 

made available to passengers in another 

manner prior to the check-in process 

and; (2) for such internet purchases, 

require that the final ticket purchase 

cannot be completed until the passenger 

or a person acting on the passenger’s 

behalf has been presented with this 

information, in addition to the existing 

requirement to indicate that they 

understand the restrictions on 

hazardous materials in baggage. PHMSA 

is revising paragraph (c) as follows: (1) 

Replace the text ‘‘provided’’ with 

‘‘presented’’ to make it clear that 

passengers must see information on the 

types of hazardous material forbidden to 

be transported before proceeding with 

check-in and; (2) require that the checkin process cannot be completed until 

the passenger or a person acting on the 

passenger’s behalf has been presented 

with the hazardous materials 

information, in addition to the existing 

requirement to indicate that they 

understand the restrictions on 

hazardous materials in baggage. It was 

reported that some operators published 

the required information in areas on a 

Web site that were not always visible to 

the passenger, believing that this met 

the requirement of being ‘‘provided.’’ 

In paragraphs (b) and (c) PHMSA is 

removing the present effective dates of 

January 1, 2015 and the word ‘‘phone’’ 

used as an example of a ticket purchase 

or check-in completed remotely. 

Furthermore, PHMSA is removing the 

words ‘‘regardless if the process is 

completed remotely (e.g., via the 

Internet and Phone) or when completed 

at the airport, with or without assistance 

from another person (e.g., automated 

check in facility)’’ in order to bring 

paragraph (b) into full alignment with 

7;5.1.1 of the ICAO TI. By removing the 

examples in conjunction with other 

revisions to paragraph (b) it is now clear 

that passenger notification is required 

for all ticket purchases; however, for 

assisted ticket purchase transactions via 

the telephone, the hazardous materials 

information may be provided to the 

passenger using any suitable method 

prior to the check-in process and 

passenger acknowledgement is not 

required. These revisions represent full 

harmonization with the ICAO TI and 

additional flexibility in meeting the 

passenger notification requirements 

and, therefore, the previous effective 

date of January 1, 2015 is waived as of 

publication of the rule. 

In addition, the revision is consistent 

with a petition for rulemaking (P–1623) 

filed by COSTHA since it provides 

clarification for ticket purchases made 

via the telephone, permitting the 

hazardous materials notification to be 

made available in another manner to 

passengers prior to the check-in process. 

PHMSA received comments from 

Jeffery Richmond, COSTHA, and the 

ASTA on the proposed amendments. 

Jeffery Richmond and ASTA both 

provide general support for the 

amendments. Mr. Richmond notes that 

the changes as proposed would bring 

§ 175.25(b) into full compliance with 

the ICAO TI. COSTHA also provided 

support for the proposed amendments, 

but would like to note that there is a 

question of how the Advisory Circular 

(AC) will be drafted after 

implementation date of the final rule. 

COSTHA further asked if the FAA will 

continue to update the circular after the 

final rule comes into force or if this 

guidance information be eliminated. 

Lastly, COSTHA asked if PHMSA would 

continue to communicate with the FAA 

in the future on this issue. 

The FAA chartered an Aviation 

Rulemaking Committee (ARC), which 

then developed recommendations for an 

AC on Passenger Notification of 

Hazardous Materials Regulations. 

PHMSA notes that the referenced ARC 

recommendations were submitted to the 

FAA on November 1, 2013, and a 

request for comments was issued by the 

FAA in the Federal Register on March 

4, 2014 (See 79 FR 12133). The ARC 

recommendations are considered open 

pending FAA review and are beyond the 

scope of this rulemaking. PHMSA will 

continue to communicate with the FAA 

on all matters relating to the safe 

transportation of hazardous materials by 

aircraft. 

Section 175.30 

Section 175.30 prescribes inspection 

procedures for operators. Paragraph 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1104 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

(e)(1) prohibits an overpack from 

containing a package bearing the 

‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT ONLY’’ label 

unless certain conditions are met and 

the overpack affords clear visibility of 

and easy access to the package 

contained within. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is removing paragraph (e)(1) 

consistent with revisions made to the 

ICAO TI in which current provisions 

require accessibility to the overpack 

when loaded aboard an aircraft, not the 

individual packages contained within, 

making reference to packages 

redundant. As the loading requirements 

in § 175.75(d)(1) require a package 

bearing the ‘‘CARGO AIRCRAFT 

ONLY’’ label to be accessible once 

loaded on the aircraft, but do not require 

that they are visible, the requirements in 

(e)(1) place an unnecessary burden on 

offerors without any additional safety 

function in the loading process. 

Paragraph (a)(5) states that no person 

may accept for transportation aboard an 

aircraft shipments of lithium batteries 

described with an alternative written 

document authorized in 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) unless the aircraft 

operator ensures the hazardous material 

is described on alternative written 

documentation when authorized in 

accordance with § 173.185(c)(4)(v). The 

removal of the alternative written 

document from § 173.185(c)(4)(v) 

necessitates the removal of this 

paragraph. 

PHMSA received comments from 

COSTHA and UPS addressing our 

proposed amendments to § 175.30. 

COSTHA supported the removal of 

(e)(1) noting that this requirement is not 

relevant and leads to confusion. 

COSTHA also supported the removal of 

(a)(5) as the allowance of an alternate 

document in the HMR would create 

significant confusion for air carrier 

acceptance agents. UPS supports the 

amendments as proposed in the interest 

of global consistency. 

Section 175.33 

Section 175.33 establishes 

requirements for shipping papers and 

for the notification of the pilot-incommand when hazardous materials are 

transported by aircraft. 

With the exception of package type, 

paragraph (a)(1)(i) currently requires 

any additional shipping paper 

description requirements provided in 

§§ 172.202, and 172.203 to be included 

on the notification of the pilot-incommand. Section 172.203(k) requires 

the use of technical names for ‘‘n.o.s.’’ 

and generic descriptions for proper 

shipping names identified by the letter 

‘‘G’’ in column (1) of the § 172.101 

Table. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

revising paragraph (a)(1)(i) to state that 

technical names are not required to be 

provided on the notification of pilot-incommand. This clarification aligns the 

HMR with changes adopted in the ICAO 

TI and supports the overall goal of 

harmonization. Harmonization of the 

notification of pilot-in-command 

requirements ensures consistency across 

all air operators thus reducing 

impediments in commerce and reducing 

costs associated with training to two 

different sets of standards. In addition, 

the technical name is not referenced in 

the Emergency Response Guidance for 

Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous 

Goods (Doc 9481) or the North 

American Emergency Response 

Guidebook (ERG). The ICAO panel 

determined that the technical names 

provided little benefit to safety, 

particularly during the initial stage of 

emergency response while the number 

of materials requiring a technical name 

is on the rise, thereby increasing the 

burden on operators to provide this 

information. In addition, the technical 

name is not referenced in the 

Emergency Response Guidance for 

Aircraft Incidents Involving Dangerous 

Goods (Doc 9481) or the North 

American Emergency Response 

Guidebook (ERG). 

Paragraphs (a)(12) and (c)(5) both 

mention the alternative written 

document authorized in 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v). The removal of the 

alternative written document from 

§ 173.185(c)(4)(v) necessitates the 

removal of these paragraphs. Any 

information required to be a part of the 

notification of the pilot-in-command 

previously under paragraph (a)(12) will 

be detailed on a shipping paper and be 

included on the notification of the pilotin-command. 

PHMSA received two comments 

concerning our proposed amendments 

to § 175.33. COSTHA and UPS support 

the removal of the technical name from 

the notification of pilot-in-command 

requirements. 

Section 175.630 

Section 175.630 prescribes special 

requirements for Division 6.1 (Toxic) 

and 6.2 (Infectious) materials in the 

HMT. Consistent with revisions to the 

ICAO TI, in this final rule, PHMSA is 

removing paragraph (a) which 

prescribes segregation requirements for 

certain Division 6.1 or Division 6.2 

materials in the same compartment of 

an aircraft with material marked as or 

known to be a foodstuff, feed, or any 

other edible material intended for 

consumption by humans or animals. At 

the time these segregation requirements 

were initially included in the ICAO TI 

and the HMR, the packing instructions 

were much less detailed than they are 

at present. The UN Model Regulations 

do not impose segregation requirements 

for Division 6.2 infectious substances. 

The segregation requirements for 

infectious substances under the ICAO TI 

and HMR only apply to UN2814 and 

UN2900 which already require robust 

triple packagings. For Division 6.1, the 

UN Recommendations allow the 

segregation requirements to be relaxed 

for substances in Packing Groups II and 

III, provided the competent authority is 

satisfied that the packing and 

segregation are adequate to prevent 

contamination. In addition, the 

inspection procedures prescribed in 

§ 175.30 require a physical check to 

ensure that the packagings are free from 

damage. The revisions adopted in this 

final rule are consistent with a petition 

for rulemaking (P–1631) filed by UPS, 

Inc., who voiced strong support for such 

action. 

PHMSA received comments from 

COSTHA, DGAC, and UPS concerning 

our proposed removal of the segregation 

requirement. Both COSTHA and UPS 

support this proposal. DGAC 

commented that authorizing materials 

identified as Division 6.1 or 6.2 to be 

loaded in the same compartment as 

materials known to be food or foodstuffs 

may have a disruptive and 

underappreciated effect on companies 

that must operate under Food Safety 

Management Systems. The possibility of 

mixed loads of food products and Class 

6 materials will require a re-evaluation 

of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control 

Point (HACCP) plans for companies 

shipping food in the air mode. PHMSA 

has reviewed the removal of the 

segregation requirement with regard to 

the effect on HACCP plans and has 

determined that the removal of 

§ 175.630(a) is suitable for incorporation 

as proposed. To ensure consumers do 

not get sick, an HACCP plan requires 

companies shipping food to identify 

critical control points and establish 

safety protocols. These critical control 

points include transportation and 

transportation related activities such as 

temperature control during transit, 

storage, loading, unloading and physical 

security. Our review has determined 

that HACCP plan requirements are not 

specific to any particular hazardous 

material class when properly packaged 

in accordance with the HMR or 

corresponding international standard. 

Section 175.705 

Section 175.705 prescribes 

requirements for aircraft that have been 

contaminated with radioactive material 

and the procedures that must be 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1105 

followed prior to returning the aircraft 

to service. Consistent with revisions to 

the ICAO TI, in this final rule, PHMSA 

is revising paragraph (c) by stating that 

the dose rate at every accessible surface 

‘‘must not exceed’’ 0.005 mSv per hour, 

where it presently states ‘‘is less than.’’ 

Part 176 

Section 176.80 

Section 176.80 details segregation 

requirements in addition to any 

segregation requirements set forth 

elsewhere in subchapter C. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is adopting a prohibition 

on stowing goods of Division 1.4, 

compatibility group S, in the same 

compartment, hold, or cargo transport 

unit with hazardous materials of Class 

1 of compatibility groups A and L. 

Limited quantity shipments are 

currently excepted from segregation 

requirements for vessel transport by 

both the IMDG Code and the HMR. The 

IMO noted that when creating this 

exception, a long standing prohibition 

on stowing limited quantity goods of 

Division 1.4, compatibility group S, in 

the same compartment, hold, or cargo 

transport unit with hazardous materials 

of Class 1, compatibility groups A and 

L, was not carried over into amendment 

36–12 of the IMDG Code. Amendment 

37–14 of the IMDG Code reinstates these 

segregation provisions, and PHMSA is 

adopting an equivalent change. 

Section 176.83 

Section 176.83 details segregation 

requirements for hazardous materials 

vessel transport. Paragraph (b) includes 

a table for users to determine 

segregation requirements between 

various Classes (Divisions) of hazardous 

materials. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

amending the segregation requirements 

for vessel transportation between 

hazardous materials of Class 4.3 

(dangerous when wet) and Class 2.1 

(flammable gas), and Class 3 (flammable 

liquid). Changes in the segregation table 

in paragraph (b) are to change the 

segregation requirements between goods 

of Class 4.3 and Class 2.1 from an ‘‘x’’ 

(segregation, if any, is shown in the 

§ 172.101 table) to a ‘‘2’’ (separated 

from), and between goods of Class 4.3 

and Class 3 from a ‘‘1’’ (away from) to 

a ‘‘2’’ (separated from). The meaning of 

these terms differs depending on the 

method of transport onboard a vessel 

(shipping break-bulk cargo versus 

segregation of cargo transport units on 

board container vessels). PHMSA 

assumes the majority of commodities 

transported by vessel that will be 

affected are offered in closed cargo 

transport units (CTU). 

The segregation changes adopted in 

this final rule are based on amendments 

adopted by the IMO and are aimed at 

enhancing efforts to prevent the spread 

of fire in an emergency situation. Fire 

extinguishing methods available to 

vessel crews are often quite limited. Due 

to these limited fire extinguishing 

options, the only recommended option 

to control the consequences of a fire 

originating from these goods is to let the 

fire burn and to prevent the spread of 

fire to other cargo or equipment which 

is crucial for the safe operation of the 

ship. These changes are intended to 

address situations where a fire 

originates in a shipment of flammable 

liquids or gases and is likely to spread 

to goods which cannot be extinguished, 

or when a fire originates in goods which 

cannot be extinguished and threatens to 

spread to highly flammable goods. The 

new segregation distances will enhance 

efforts to control the emergency 

situation. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

IVODGA fully supporting the 

amendments as proposed. 

Section 176.84 

Section 176.84 prescribes the 

meanings and requirements for 

numbered or alpha-numeric stowage 

provisions for vessel shipments listed in 

column 10B of the § 172.101 Hazardous 

Materials Table. The provisions in 

§ 176.84 are broken down into general 

stowage provisions whose meanings are 

defined in the ‘‘table of provisions’’ in 

paragraph (b), and the stowage 

provisions applicable to vessel 

shipments of Class 1 explosives, which 

are defined in the table to paragraph 

(c)(2). 

In this final rule, PHMSA is amending 

the title of the section to note that the 

codes in column 10B address not only 

codes for stowage requirements, but also 

handling requirements that need to be 

observed during loading of the 

hazardous materials. PHMSA is also 

creating footnote 3 and assigning it to 

stowage provision 12 and 13. Footnote 

3 is added to note that these provisions 

apply not only to stowage of the cargo 

transport unit, but also to the loading of 

hazardous materials into the cargo 

transport unit. 

PHMSA is additionally creating new 

stowage provisions 147 and 148 

consistent with changes adopted in 

Amendment 37–14 of the IMDG Code. 

Stowage provision 147 is adopted to 

read ‘‘Stow ‘‘separated from’’ flammable 

gases and flammable liquids.’’ Stowage 

provision 148 is adopted to read ‘‘In 

addition: from flammable gases and 

flammable liquids when stowed on deck 

of a containership a minimum distance 

of two container spaces athwartship 

shall be maintained, when stowed on 

ro-ro ships a distance of 6 m 

athwartship shall be maintained.’’ 

Section 176.905 

Section 176.905 prescribes specific 

requirements for motor vehicles or 

mechanical equipment powered by 

internal combustion engines that are 

offered for transportation and 

transported by vessel. In this final rule, 

PHMSA is proposing to align our 

exceptions with those recently adopted 

by the IMO. 

PHMSA is amending paragraphs 

(i)(1), (i)(2), (i)(4), and (i)(5) to require as 

a condition of exception from the 

subchapter that batteries installed in 

motor vehicles or mechanical 

equipment powered by internal 

combustion engines be protected from 

short circuit. PHMSA is also revising 

paragraph (i)(2), which provides 

conditions that must be met for vehicles 

or mechanical equipment with an 

internal combustion engine that uses 

liquid fuel with a flashpoint of 38 °C 

(100 °F) or higher. Currently up to 418 

L (110 gallons) may remain in the 

equipment or vehicle, and if other noted 

conditions are met the vehicle is 

excepted from all other requirements of 

subchapter C. PHMSA is raising this 

fuel threshold to 450 L (119 gallons). 

PHMSA is adding paragraph (i)(6) to 

add exceptions for fuel cell powered 

vehicles or mechanical equipment with 

an internal combustion engine powered 

by fuel cells. When the engine is 

protected from inadvertent operation by 

closing fuel supply lines or by other 

means, and the fuel supply reservoir has 

been drained and sealed, the vehicle or 

mechanical equipment is excepted from 

the requirements of subchapter C. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

IVODGA fully supporting the proposed 

changes to § 176.905 and relevant 

exceptions as well as the proposed 

clarifications as presented. IVODGA 

noted that ‘‘by requiring the batteries to 

be protected from short circuiting, and 

to increase the amount of fuel to the 

maximum of 119 liters would effectively 

create a uniform standard and eliminate 

frustrated shipments where prior 

differences created different 

requirements.’’ 

Part 178 

Section 178.71 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, in this final rule PHMSA is 

revising paragraph (a) to clarify that UN 

pressure receptacles and service 

equipment constructed according to the 

standards applicable at the date of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1106 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

manufacture may continue in use 

subject to the continuing qualification 

and maintenance provisions of part 180 

of the subchapter. 

PHMSA is revising paragraphs (d)(2), 

(g), and (k) to reflect the adoption of the 

latest ISO standards for the design, 

construction, and testing of gas 

cylinders and their associated service 

equipment. These paragraphs also 

contain end dates when cylinders and 

service equipment are no longer 

authorized to be manufactured in 

accordance with the outdated ISO 

standard. PHMSA received one 

comment from Sally Mitchell 

questioning the accuracy of the 

statement in § 178.71(d)(2), ‘‘Until 

December 31, 2008, the manufacture of 

a valve conforming to the requirements 

in ISO 10297:1999 (IBR, see § 171.7 of 

this subchapter) is authorized.’’ This 

statement is accurate and consistent 

with the language contained in the UN 

Model Regulations to authorize valves 

that were manufactured prior to January 

1, 2009 and conform with the 

requirements of ISO 10297:1999. Sally 

Mitchell also suggested revising 

§ 178.71(g)(1), (g)(2) and (g)(3) to permit 

the continued manufacture of a cylinder 

conforming to the requirements of the 

applicable the 1999 publication of ISO 

9809–1 and the 2000 publication of ISO 

9809–2 and 9809–3 until the later of 

December 31, 2018 or 10 years from the 

initial DOT design approval to allow 

manufacturers to recover their type 

approval expenses over the 10 year life 

of the approval instead of just 4 years. 

PHMSA does not believe this change is 

necessary, as a design approval is 

independent of the regulations and is 

authorized for the valid life of the 

approval regardless of the limitations 

imposed by the regulations. 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations PHMSA is adding a new 

paragraph (n) and redesignating existing 

paragraphs (n) through (s). The new 

paragraph (n) adopts design and 

construction requirements of UN 

cylinders for the transportation of 

adsorbed gases, consistent with those 

adopted into the UN Model Regulations. 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, PHMSA is revising the 

redesignated paragraph (o) to adopt the 

current ISO standards relating to 

material compatibility. 

Paragraphs (r) and (t) are being 

revised to change references to 

paragraph (p) to the newly redesignated 

paragraph (q). 

Finally, PHMSA is adding new 

paragraphs (u) and (v) to adopt the 

marking requirements for bundles of 

cylinders that have been adopted in the 

UN Model regulations. 

Section 178.75 

Consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, PHMSA is revising 

paragraph (d)(3) to reflect the adoption 

of the latest ISO standards for the 

design, construction, and testing of gas 

cylinders that are part of multipleelement gas containers (MEGCs). This 

paragraph also contains end dates when 

the cylinders that are part of MEGCs are 

no longer authorized to be 

manufactured in accordance with the 

outdated ISO standard. 

Section 178.703 

The UN Model Regulations have 

adopted revisions to clarify and 

standardize the specifications for 

markings, including the marking of 

IBCs, and to promote the uniformity of 

markings throughout the international 

transportation community. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising the 

specifications for the markings 

prescribed in § 178.703(b)(7)(iii) to be 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations. Also consistent with the 

UN Model Regulations, a transitional 

period is being proposed to authorize 

markings in conformance with the 

requirements of this paragraph in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue to be 

applied to all IBCs manufactured, 

repaired or remanufactured between 

January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2016. 

For domestic transportation, we are 

authorizing an IBC marked prior to 

January 1, 2017 and in conformance 

with the requirements of the regulations 

in effect on December 31, 2014, to 

continue in service until the end of its 

useful life. 

PHMSA received one comment from 

RIPA providing general support for the 

amended IBC stacking or not designed 

for stacking marking specifications. 

RIPA did however recommend PHMSA 

extend the requirement to mark IBCs 

with the stacking or not designed for 

stacking mark to include IBC’s 

undergoing routine maintenance. 

Currently the HMR requires this 

marking to be applied to all IBCs 

manufactured, repaired, or 

remanufactured prior to January 1, 2011. 

The amendments proposed in the 

NPRM were consistent with those 

adopted by international standards. 

Expanding the marking requirement to 

IBCs undergoing routine maintenance 

was not the intent of this regulatory 

amendment and would be inconsistent 

with the requirements of the 

international standards. 

Section 178.910 

In this final rule, PHMSA is revising 

paragraph (a) relating to the marking of 

large packagings to include markings for 

large salvage packagings. Following the 

large packaging design type 

identification code on a large packaging, 

a large salvage packaging conforming to 

the requirements of subpart P of part 

178 is to be marked with the letter ‘‘T.’’ 

This change is consistent with the UN 

Model Regulations. 

In addition, to promote the uniformity 

of markings throughout the 

international transportation community, 

the UN Model Regulations have adopted 

revisions to clarify and standardize the 

specifications for markings, including 

the marking of large packagings and 

large salvage packaging. In this final 

rule, PHMSA is revising the 

specifications for the markings 

prescribed in § 178.910(b). Also 

consistent with the UN Model 

Regulations, we are adopting a 

transitional period to authorize 

markings in conformance with the 

requirements of this paragraph in effect 

on December 31, 2014, to continue to be 

applied to all large packagings 

manufactured, repaired or 

remanufactured between January 1, 

2015 and December 31, 2016. For 

domestic transportation, we are 

authorizing a large packaging marked 

prior to January 1, 2017 and in 

conformance with the requirements of 

the regulations in effect on December 

31, 2014, to continue in service until the 

end of its useful life. 

Part 180 

Section 180.207 

Section 180.207 prescribes the 

requirements for requalification of UN 

pressure receptacles. Table 1 in 

paragraph (c) of § 180.207 provides 

requalification intervals for UN pressure 

receptacles. In this final rule, PHMSA is 

adding an additional entry to the end of 

Table 1 to prescribe a requalification 

interval of 5 years for UN culinders used 

for adsorbed gases. This requalification 

period is consistent with the 

requalification period adopted in the 

UN Model Regulations for the use of 

these cylinders. Section 173.302c 

relating to authorization for the use of 

cylinders for adsorbed gases directs the 

reader to this section for the 

requalification period for these 

cylinders. 

A new paragraph (d)(5) provides that 

each UN cylinder used for adsorbed 

gases must be inspected and tested in 

accordance with § 173.302c and ISO 

11513:2011. Both § 173.302c and ISO 

11513:2011 have been addressed in this 

final rule.

VI. Regulatory Analyses and Notices 

A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This 

Rulemaking 

This final rule is published under the 

following statutory authorities: 

1. 49 U.S.C. 5103(b) authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation to prescribe 

regulations for the safe transportation, 

including security, of hazardous 

materials in intrastate, interstate, and 

foreign commerce. This final rule 

amends regulations to maintain 

alignment with international standards 

by incorporating various amendments, 

including changes to proper shipping 

names, hazard classes, packing groups, 

special provisions, packaging 

authorizations, air transport quantity 

limitations and vessel stowage 

requirements. To this end, the final rule 

amends the HMR to more fully align 

with the biennial updates of the UN 

Model Regulations, the IMDG Code and 

the ICAO TI. 

Harmonization serves to facilitate 

international commerce and promotes 

the safety of people, property, and the 

environment by reducing the potential 

for confusion and misunderstanding 

that could result if shippers and 

transporters were required to comply 

with two or more conflicting sets of 

regulatory requirements. While the 

intent of this rulemaking is to align the 

HMR with international standards, we 

review and consider each amendment 

on its own merit based on its overall 

impact on transportation safety and the 

economic implications associated with 

its adoption into the HMR. Our goal is 

to harmonize without sacrificing the 

current HMR level of safety and without 

imposing undue burdens on the 

regulated community. Thus, as 

explained in the corresponding sections 

above, we are not harmonizing with 

certain specific provisions of the UN 

Model Regulations, the IMDG Code, and 

the ICAO TI. Moreover, we are 

maintaining a number of current 

exceptions for domestic transportation 

that should minimize the compliance 

burden on the regulated community. 

Additionally, the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. 

Department of Energy, and U.S. 

Department of Interior were consulted 

in the development of this rule. 

2. 49 U.S.C. 5120(b) authorizes the 

Secretary of Transportation to ensure 

that, to the extent practicable, 

regulations governing the transportation 

of hazardous materials in commerce are 

consistent with standards adopted by 

international authorities. This final rule 

is amending the HMR to maintain 

alignment with international standards 

by incorporating various amendments to 

facilitate the transport of hazardous 

material in international commerce. As 

discussed in detail above, PHMSA is 

incorporating changes into the HMR 

based on the 18th Revised Edition of the 

UN Model Regulations, Amendment 37– 

14 to the IMDG Code, and the 2015– 

2016 Edition of the ICAO TI, which 

becomes effective January 1, 2015. The 

large volume of hazardous materials 

transported in international commerce 

warrants the harmonization of domestic 

and international requirements to the 

greatest extent possible. 

B. Executive Orders 12866 and 13563 

and DOT Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures 

This final rule is not considered a 

significant regulatory action under 

section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 

(‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’) 

and, therefore, was not reviewed by the 

Office of Management and Budget. This 

final rule is not considered a significant 

rule under the Regulatory Policies and 

Procedures of the Department of 

Transportation (44 FR 11034). 

Additionally, E.O. 13563 (‘‘Improving 

Regulation and Regulatory Review’’) 

supplements and reaffirms E.O. 12866, 

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. 

Benefits to Harmonization 

In an earlier regulatory evaluation,3

we estimated a proxy for benefits of 

harmonization of the HMR with 

international standards of $62 million. 

More specifically, this $62 million was 

estimated by multiplying a hazard 

communication cost per dollar of 

hazardous materials output—$0.001— 

by the value of hazardous materials 

involved in international trade, as 

estimated by the proportion of trade (the 

total of gross imports and gross exports) 

in the fuels and lubricants, chemicals, 

and medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical 

products industries ($498 billion in 

2010) 4 that are hazardous products (i.e., 

12.4 percent).5 6

For estimating benefits of this final 

rule, we follow a nearly identical 

approach with updated data and using 

assumptions where possible. 2012 

Commodity Flow Survey data on 

hazardous materials are not yet 

available as of the date of this regulatory 

evaluation. 

The 12.4 percent proportion of total 

shipment values classed as hazardous 

materials estimated in the earlier 

regulatory evaluation may have had a 

high-side bias due to the variety of 

different classes of products classified 

as hazardous. In actuality, the 

percentage of shipments properly 

classified as hazardous is likely lower, 

particularly for medicinal/dental/

pharmaceuticals. Here, we assume a 

slightly lower proportion to arrive at an 

estimate of benefits of 10 percent. 

We update our estimate of value of 

hazardous materials involved in 

international trade by using U.S. Trade 

in Goods seasonally adjusted, Censusbased total gross imports and gross 

exports in the fuels and lubricants, 

chemicals, and medicinal/dental/

pharmaceutical products industries for 

the fourth quarter of 2013, the most 

recent quarter available— 

• Gross imports: $134 billion 

(rounded) 

Æ Fuels and lubricants: $94.744 

billion 

Æ Chemicals: $18.637 billion 

Æ Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical 

products: $20.613 billion 

• Gross exports: $85.8 billion 

(rounded) 

Æ Fuels and lubricants: $44.301 

billion 

Æ Chemicals: $30.089 billion 

Æ Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical 

products: $11.416 billion 

• Gross imports plus gross exports: 

$219.8 billion 7

Multiplying the quarterly estimate of 

$219.8 billion by 4 gives an annual 

estimate of gross imports plus gross 

exports in the three industries of $879.2 

billion. Multiplying this figure by 10 

percent (the estimated proportion of 

annual trade in these three industries 

that are hazardous products) by the 

average hazard communication cost per 

dollar of hazardous materials produced 

in the United States ($0.001) results in 

an estimate of benefits from adoption 

and incorporation of international 

standards of $87.9 million (rounded) 

annually. 

If U.S. regulations are not harmonized 

with international standards, we 

estimate that it will cost U.S. companies 

an additional $87.9 million per year to 

comply with both the HMR and the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

international standards. Harmonizing 

the HMR with the international 

standards, however, will avert these 

$87.9 million in additional costs, and 

these averted costs are therefore 

considered the primary benefit 

attributable to this rulemaking. 

Costs of Harmonization. The primary 

cost of updating references in the U.S. 

HMR (to incorporate the most recent 

international hazardous material 

standards) is the purchase of updated 

copies of the international standards 

being incorporated by reference in the 

HMR. These costs will be borne by 

offerors and transporters of hazmat if 

this rulemaking were finalized. 

It is unknown how many individuals 

and firms involved in shipping hazmat 

will purchase copies of these 

international standards as a result of 

finalizing this rulemaking. We take a 

conservative approach to estimating 

such a figure by using the number of 

shippers, carriers, or other offerors or 

transporters of hazmat in commerce 

with a PHMSA registration expiring in 

2014 as a proxy. Currently, PHMSA’s 

registration database indicates 36,731 

registrants as of May 20, 2014.8 Of these, 

29,877 (approximately 81 percent) are 

small businesses as defined by the U.S. 

Small Business Administration. Further, 

31,598 registrants (approximately 86 

percent) indicated that they offer or 

transport hazmat solely by highway. 

For conservative estimation purposes, 

if we that all registrants will purchase 

copies of all publications, this indicates 

an estimated cost of this amendment of 

$56.68 million (rounded, $1,543 cost of 

all publications * 36,731 registrants). In 

reality, all of the ISO standards 

incorporated will not be purchased by 

the majority of shippers and carriers, 

and will likely only impact a small 

subset of the regulated community. 

Further, it is likely that many 

companies will purchase multiple 

copies of the IMDG Code and ICAO TI, 

rather than only one copy. We do not 

believe we have sufficient data to 

estimate the precise number of 

registrants. However, we use one copy 

per registrant as a reasonably 

conservative estimate on costs of the 

proposed rulemaking. 

However, further assuming that those 

who indicated that they offer or 

transport in commerce hazmat only via 

highway, two publications included in 

the $1,543 cost will not apply to such 

registrants (ICAO TI [for air] and IMDG 

Code [by vessel]). Therefore, costs for 

the 31,598 highway-only registrants 

would total $32.99 million ($1,543— 

$155 [ICAO TI]—$344 [IMDG Code] * 

31,598 highway-only registrants). 

Conservatively (i.e., overestimating 

costs and underestimating benefits) 

assuming all other registrants (while 

acknowledging that, in fact, some will 

purchase all standards copies and some 

will purchase none) will purchase 

updated copies of all standards 

publications listed here indicates a total 

cost of this Amendment 1 of $40.91 

million, incurred once ($32.99 million + 

$1,543 * [36,731 total registrants— 

31,598 highway-only registrants], 

rounded). 

Net Benefit. Based on the discussions 

of benefits and costs provided above, 

the estimated net benefit associated 

with the international harmonization 

final rule (2137–AF05) is $47 million in 

the first year after publication and $87.9 

million in the second year after 

publication. Please see the complete 

regulatory analysis, a copy of which has 

been placed in the docket for this 

rulemaking, for a more detailed analysis 

of the costs and benefits of this final 

rule. 

C. Executive Order 13132 

This final rule has been analyzed in 

accordance with the principles and 

criteria contained in Executive Order 

13132 (‘‘Federalism’’). This final rule 

preempts State, local and Indian tribe 

requirements but does not propose any 

regulation that has 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 material 

transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101– 

5128, contains an express preemption 

provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) that 

preempts State, local and Indian tribe 

requirements on certain covered 

subjects, as follows: 

(1) The designation, description, and 

classification of hazardous material; 

(2) The packing, repacking, handling, 

labeling, marking, and placarding of 

hazardous material; 

(3) The preparation, execution, and 

use of shipping documents related to 

hazardous material 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; and 

(5) The design, manufacture, 

fabrication, inspection, marking, 

maintenance, recondition, repair, or 

testing of a packaging or container 

represented, marked, certified, or sold 

as qualified for use in transporting 

hazardous material in commerce. 

This final rule addresses covered 

subject items (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) 

above and preempts State, local, and 

Indian tribe requirements not meeting 

the ‘‘substantively the same’’ standard. 

This final rule is necessary to 

incorporate changes adopted in 

international standards, effective 

January 1, 2015. If the changes in this 

final rule are not adopted in the HMR, 

U.S. companies, including numerous 

small entities competing in foreign 

markets, would be at an economic 

disadvantage. These companies would 

be forced to comply with a dual system 

of regulations. The changes in this final 

rulemaking are intended to avoid this 

result. Federal hazardous materials 

transportation law provides at 49 U.S.C. 

5125(b)(2) that, if DOT issues a 

regulation concerning any of the 

covered 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 two years after the date of issuance. 

PHMSA is setting the effective date of 

Federal preemption to be 90 days from 

publication of this final rule. 

D. Executive Order 13175 

This final rule was analyzed in 

accordance with the principles and 

criteria contained in Executive Order 

13175 (‘‘Consultation and Coordination 

with Indian Tribal Governments’’). 

Because this final rule does not have 

tribal implications, does not impose 

substantial direct compliance costs, and 

is required by statute, 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. 

This final rule facilitates the 

transportation of hazardous materials in 

international commerce by providing 

consistency with international 

standards. This final rule applies to 

offerors and carriers of hazardous 

materials, some of whom are small 

entities, such as chemical 

manufacturers, users and suppliers, 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1109 

packaging manufacturers, distributors, 

and training companies. As discussed 

above, under Executive Order 12866, the 

majority of amendments in this final 

rule should result in cost savings and 

ease the regulatory compliance burden 

for shippers engaged in domestic and 

international commerce, including 

trans-border shipments within North 

America. 

Many companies will realize 

economic benefits as a result of these 

amendments. Additionally, this final 

rule will relieve U.S. companies, 

including small entities competing in 

foreign markets, from the burden of 

complying with a dual system of 

regulations. Therefore, we certify that 

these amendments will not have a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities. 

This final rule has been developed in 

accordance with Executive Order 13272 

(‘‘Proper Consideration of Small Entities 

in Agency Rulemaking’’) and DOT’s 

procedures and policies to promote 

compliance with the Regulatory 

Flexibility Act to ensure that potential 

impacts of draft rules on small entities 

are properly considered. 

F. Paperwork Reduction Act 

PHMSA currently has approved 

information collection under Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) Control 

Number 2137–0034, ‘‘Hazardous 

Materials Shipping Papers and 

Emergency Response Information.’’ We 

anticipate that this final rule will result 

in an increase in the annual information 

collection burden due to an increase in 

the number of shipping papers prepared 

for packages containing batteries that 

exceeds the number or quantity (mass) 

limits in the table shown in 

§ 173.185(c)(4), but containing no more 

than 2.5 kg of lithium metal cells or 

batteries or 10 kg of lithium ion cells or 

batteries per package. Shipments 

utilizing this allowance currently 

provide alternative documentation 

containing the name and address of the 

offeror and consignee, the UN number, 

an indication of compliance with this 

paragraph (c)(4) (or the applicable ICAO 

Packing Instruction), and the number of 

packages and the gross mass of each 

package. 

This rulemaking identifies a revised 

information collection that PHMSA will 

submit to OMB for approval based on 

the requirements in this final rule. 

PHMSA has developed burden 

estimates to reflect changes in this final 

rule, and estimates the information 

collection and recordkeeping burden in 

this rule are as follows: 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0034. 

Annual Increase in Number of 

Respondents: 150. 

Annual Increase in Annual Number of 

Responses: 13,167. 

Annual Increase in Annual Burden 

Hours: 219. 

Annual Increase in Annual Burden 

Costs: $4,380. 

PHMSA will submit the revised 

information collection and 

recordkeeping requirements to OMB for 

approval. 

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 crossreference this action with the Unified 

Agenda. 

H. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

This final rule does not impose 

unfunded mandates under the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 

1995. It does not result in costs of 

$141.3 million or more, adjusted for 

inflation, to either State, local, or tribal 

governments, in the aggregate, or to the 

private sector in any one year, and is the 

least burdensome alternative that 

achieves the objective of the rule. 

I. Environmental Assessment 

The National Environmental Policy 

Act, 42 U.S.C. 4321–4375, requires that 

federal agencies analyze actions to 

determine whether the action will have 

a significant impact on the human 

environment. The Council on 

Environmental Quality (CEQ) 

regulations require federal agencies to 

conduct an environmental review 

considering: (1) The need for the action; 

(2) alternatives to the action; (3) 

probable environmental impacts of the 

action and alternatives; and (4) the 

agencies and persons consulted during 

the consideration process. 40 CFR 

1508.9(b). 

Description of Action 

Docket No. PHMSA–2013–0260 (HM– 

215M), Final Rule. The transportation of 

hazardous materials in commerce is 

subject to the HMR, issued under 

authority of Federal hazardous materials 

transportation law, codified at 49 U.S.C. 

5001 et seq. To facilitate the safe and 

efficient transportation of hazardous 

materials in international commerce, the 

HMR provides that both domestic and 

international shipments of hazardous 

materials may be offered for 

transportation and transported under 

provisions of the international 

regulations. 

Purpose and Need 

This action is necessary to integrate 

into the HMR recent changes to the 

International Maritime Dangerous 

Goods Code (IMDG Code), the 

International Civil Aviation 

Organization’s Technical Instructions 

for the Safe Transport of Dangerous 

Goods by Air (ICAO TI), and the United 

Nations Recommendations on the 

Transport of Dangerous Goods—Model 

Regulations (UN Model Regulations) 

effective January 1, 2015. If the changes 

in this final rule are not adopted in the 

HMR by this effective date, U.S. 

companies, including numerous small 

entities competing in foreign markets, 

would be at an economic disadvantage. 

These companies would be forced to 

comply with a dual system of transport 

regulations that could result in shippers 

and carriers segmenting domestic and 

international operations to 

accommodate differing requirements. 

The changes to the HMR contained in 

this rulemaking are intended to avoid 

this result. 

The intended effect of this action is to 

align the HMR with international 

hazardous material transport standards 

and requirements to the extent 

practicable in accordance with Federal 

Hazardous Materials transportation law 

(49 U.S.C. 5210). When considering the 

adoption of international hazardous 

material standards under the HMR, 

PHMSA reviews and evaluates each 

amendment on its own merit, on the 

basis of its overall impact on 

transportation safety, and the economic 

implications associated with its 

adoption into the HMR. Our goal is to 

harmonize without diminishing the 

level of safety currently provided by the 

HMR and without imposing undue 

burdens on the regulated public. 

In this final rule, PHMSA is amending 

the HMR to maintain alignment with 

international standards by incorporating 

various amendments, including changes 

to proper shipping names, hazard 

classes, packing groups, special 

provisions, packaging authorizations, air 

transport quantity limitations, and 

vessel stowage requirements. These 

revisions are necessary to harmonize 

and align the HMR with recent 

amendments adopted in the UN Model 

Regulations, IMDG Code, and the ICAO 

TI. The amendments in this final rule 

are intended to facilitate the safe and 

efficient transportation of hazardous 

materials in international commerce, 

provide clarity to encourage and 

increase regulatory compliance, and 

improve the efficacy of emergency 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1110 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

response in the event of a hazardous 

materials incident. 

Alternatives 

In developing this rule, we considered 

the following alternatives: 

No Action Alternative 

If PHMSA chose this alternative, it 

would not proceed with any rulemaking 

on this subject and the current 

regulatory standards would remain in 

effect. 

Preferred Alternative 

This alternative is the current rule as 

it appears in this final rule, applying to 

the transportation of hazardous 

materials by various transport modes 

(highway, rail, vessel and aircraft). The 

amendments included in this alternative 

are more fully addressed in the 

preamble and regulatory text sections of 

this final rule. However, they generally 

include: 

(1) Updates to references to various 

international hazardous materials 

transport standards; 

(2) Amendments to the hazardous 

materials table to add, revise, or remove 

certain proper shipping names, packing 

groups, special provisions, packaging 

authorizations, bulk packaging 

requirements and vessel stowage 

requirements; 

(3) Amendments to add and delete 

various substances to the list of marine 

pollutants in Appendix B to § 172.101; 

(4) Changes throughout the Part 173 

packaging requirements to authorize 

more flexibility when choosing 

packages for hazardous materials; 

(5) An exception from the HMR for 

marine pollutants up to 5 liters (1.3 

gallons) for liquids or 5 kg (11 pounds) 

for solids when these materials are 

packaged in accordance with the general 

packaging requirements of §§ 173.24 

and 173.24a; 

(6) Minimum sizes for the 

OVERPACK and SALVAGE markings; 

and; 

(7) Revisions and additions to vessel 

stowage codes listed in column 10B of 

the HMT and segregation requirements 

in § 176.83 consistent with the IMDG 

Code. 

No Action Alternative 

If PHMSA had selected the No Action 

Alternative, current regulations would 

remain in place, and no new provisions 

would be added. However, efficiencies 

gained through harmonization in 

updates to transport standards, lists of 

regulated substances, definitions, 

packagings, stowage requirements/

codes, flexibilities allowed, enhanced 

markings, and segregation requirements 

would not be realized. Foregone 

efficiencies in the No Action Alternative 

include freeing up limited resources to 

concentrate on vessel transport hazard 

communication (hazcom) issues of 

potentially much greater environmental 

impact. 

Additionally, the Preferred 

Alternative encompasses enhanced and 

clarified regulatory requirements, which 

would result in increased compliance 

and fewer environmental and safety 

incidents. Not adopting the proposed 

environmental and safety requirements 

in the final rule under the No Action 

Alternative would result in a lost 

opportunity for reducing environmental 

and safety-related incidents. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under the No Action 

Alternative. 

Preferred Alternative 

PHMSA selected the preferred 

alternative. Potential environmental 

impacts of each proposed amendment in 

the preferred alternative are discussed 

below: 

1. Updates to references to various 

international hazardous materials 

transport standards, including the 

2015–2016 Edition of the ICAO TI; 

Amendment 37–14 to the IMDG Code; 

the 18th Revised Edition of the UN 

Model Regulations; Amendment 2 to the 

5th revised edition of the UN Manual of 

Tests and Criteria; incorporation by 

reference of the Canadian 

Transportation of Dangerous Goods 

Regulations to include amendments 

through Amendment 11 (SOR/2012– 

245) December 5, 2012 and; adding two 

new references standards and update 

four other references to standards 

applicable to the manufacture, use, and 

requalification of pressure vessels 

published by the International 

Organization for Standardization: 

The HMR authorize shipments 

prepared in accordance with the ICAO 

TI and transported by motor vehicle 

either before or after being transported 

by aircraft. Similarly, the HMR 

authorize shipments prepared in 

accordance with the IMDG Code if all or 

part of the transportation is by vessel. 

The authorizations to use the ICAO TI 

and the IMDG code are subject to certain 

conditions and limitations outlined in 

part 171 subpart C. PHMSA believes 

that this adopted amendment, which 

will increase standardization and 

consistency of regulations, will result in 

greater protection of human health and 

the environment. Consistency between 

U.S. and international regulations 

enhances the safety and environmental 

protection of international hazardous 

materials transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. 

Enhanced environmental protection 

will also be achieved through more 

targeted and effective training. This 

adopted amendment will eliminate 

inconsistent hazardous materials 

regulations, which hamper compliance 

training efforts. For ease of compliance 

with appropriate regulations, air and 

vessel carriers engaged in the 

transportation of hazardous materials 

generally elect to comply with the ICAO 

TI and IMDG Code as appropriate. By 

maintaining consistency between these 

international regulations and the HMR, 

shippers and carriers are able to train 

their hazmat employees in a single set 

of requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

2. Amendments to the HMT to add, 

revise, or remove certain proper 

shipping names, packing groups, special 

provisions, packaging authorizations, 

bulk packaging requirements and vessel 

stowage requirements: 

PHMSA believes that this 

amendment, which will increase 

standardization and consistency of 

regulations, will result in greater 

protection of human health and the 

environment. Consistency between U.S. 

and international regulations enhances 

the safety and environmental protection 

of international hazardous materials 

transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. New and 

revised entries to the HMT reflect 

emerging technologies, and a need to 

better describe or differentiate between 

existing entries. These changes mirror 

changes in the Dangerous Goods list of 

The 18th Revised Edition of the UN 

Model Regulations, the 2015–2016 

Edition of the ICAO TI and the 37–14 

amendments to the IMDG Code. It is 

extremely important for the domestic 

HMR to mirror the UN Model 

Regulations, the ICAO TI, and the IMDG 

Code with respect to the entries in the 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1111 

HMT to ensure consistent naming 

conventions across modes and 

international borders. 

Enhanced environmental protection 

will also be achieved through more 

targeted and effective training. This 

amendment will eliminate inconsistent 

hazardous materials regulations, which 

hamper compliance training efforts. For 

ease of compliance with appropriate 

regulations, international carriers 

engaged in the transportation of 

hazardous materials by vessel generally 

elect to comply with the IMDG Code. By 

maintaining consistency between these 

international regulations and the HMR, 

shippers and carriers are able to train 

their hazmat employees in a single set 

of requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

The packing group assignment reflects 

a degree of danger associated with a 

particular material and identifies 

appropriate packaging. However, 

assignment of a packing group is not 

appropriate in all cases (e.g. explosives, 

gases, radioactive material). In such 

cases the packing group does not 

indicate a degree of danger and the 

packaging requirements for those 

materials are specified in the 

appropriate section in part 173. 

Similarly for articles, the packing group 

only reflects the degree of the danger 

posed by the hazardous component, but 

may not reflect danger of the article 

itself, which may be substantially 

reduced or changed when compared to 

shipping the hazardous component 

alone. Currently and without specific 

rationale, some articles are assigned 

packing groups while others are not. 

The inconsistent application of packing 

groups to articles can create problems 

for trainers when trying to explain 

regulatory structure to students. This 

change provides a level of consistency 

for all articles specifically listed in the 

HMT, without diminishing 

environmental protection and safety. 

For adsorbed gases, PHMSA is adding 

into the HMR a definition, HMT entries, 

authorized packagings and safety 

requirements including but not limited 

to quantity limitations and filling limits. 

PHMSA believes that this amendment 

will result in greater protection of 

human health and the environment by 

facilitating the safe and efficient 

transport of gases adsorbed onto a 

porous media within cylinders. This 

technology allows the cylinder to be 

filled and transported with gas at subatmospheric pressure. Sub-atmospheric 

transport of gas minimizes potential 

leaks of gas during transportation, thus 

providing significant safety and 

environmental improvements over 

traditional high-pressure cylinders. This 

method of transporting gas is a proven 

safe method authorized through a 

PHMSA special permit for over ten 

years and recently adopted into the UN 

Model Regulations, the ICAO TI and the 

IMDG Code. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

3. Additions and deletions of various 

substances to/from the list of Marine 

Pollutants in HMR, Appendix B to 

172.101: 

As for the above amendments, 

PHMSA believes that this amendment, 

which will increase standardization and 

consistency of regulations, will result in 

greater protection of human health and 

the environment. Consistency between 

U.S. and international regulations 

enhances the safety and environmental 

protection of international hazardous 

materials transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. The 

additions and deletions are based on the 

criteria contained in the IMDG code for 

substances classified as toxic to the 

aquatic environment. The HMR 

maintain a list as the basis for regulating 

substances toxic to the aquatic 

environment and allow use of the 

criteria in the IMDG Code if a listed 

material does not meet the criteria for a 

marine pollutant. PHMSA periodically 

updates its list based on changes to the 

IMDG code and evaluation of listed 

materials against the IMDG code 

criteria. Amending the marine pollutant 

list facilitates consistent communication 

of the presence of marine pollutants and 

safe and efficient transportation without 

imposing significant burden associated 

with characterizing mixtures as marine 

pollutants. 

Also similar to the above 

amendments, enhanced environmental 

protection will also be achieved through 

more targeted and effective training. 

This amendment will eliminate 

inconsistent hazardous materials 

regulations, which hamper compliance 

training efforts. For ease of compliance 

with appropriate regulations, 

international carriers engaged in the 

transportation of hazardous materials by 

vessel generally elect to comply with 

the IMDG Code. By maintaining 

consistency between these international 

regulations and the HMR, shippers and 

carriers are able to train their hazmat 

employees in a single set of 

requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

4. Adopting changes throughout the 

HMR Part 173 packaging requirements 

to authorize more flexibility when 

choosing packages for hazardous 

materials: 

These changes adopt manufacturing 

and performance standards for small gas 

pressure receptacles without a relief 

device, clarify the use of the HMT entry 

‘‘fire extinguisher’’, authorize the use of 

large salvage packagings and provide a 

list of authorized packagings for 

ammonium nitrate emulsions. As for the 

above amendments, PHMSA believes 

that these amendments, which increase 

standardization and consistency of 

regulations, will result in greater 

protection of human health and the 

environment. Consistency between US 

and international regulations enhances 

the safety and environmental protection 

of international hazardous materials 

transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. PHMSA is 

adopting changes throughout the Part 

173 packaging requirements to authorize 

more flexibility when choosing 

packages for hazardous materials. This 

action is consistent with amendments 

adopted into the UN Model Regulations. 

These amendments permit additional 

flexibility for authorized packages 

without compromising environmental 

protection or safety. Manufacturing and 

performance standards for small gas 

pressure receptacles ensure a safe 

packaging that is capable of retaining its 

contents without being overly 

prescriptive. The clarification for fire 

extinguishers increases the transparency 

of the regulations, which will in turn 

result in increased compliance, reduced 

incidents of undeclared or misdeclared 

hazardous material and enhanced 

environmental protection and safety. 

Increased flexibility also adds to 

environmental protection by increasing 

the ease of regulatory compliance. 

Also similar to the above 

amendments, enhanced environmental 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

1112 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

protection will be achieved through 

more targeted and effective training. 

This amendment eliminates 

inconsistent hazardous materials 

regulations, which hamper compliance 

training efforts. By maintaining 

consistency between the UN Model 

Regulations and the HMR, shippers and 

carriers are able to train their hazmat 

employees in a single set of 

requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

5. Exception from the HMR for marine 

pollutants up to 5 liters (1.3 gallons) for 

liquids or 5 kg (11 lbs.) for solids when 

these materials are packaged in 

accordance with the general packaging 

requirements of §§ 173.24 and 173.24a: 

PHMSA believes that this amendment 

provides for a slight net increase in 

environmental protection and safety by 

reducing confusion and simplifying 

multi-modal hazardous material 

transportation requirements. Currently, 

packages containing less than 5 liters 

(1.3 gallons) for liquids or 5 kg (11 lbs.) 

of material containing marine pollutants 

are subject to additional requirements 

such as shipping papers, Class 9 

labeling and UN packaging when 

offered for transport by air or vessel in 

accordance with the ICAO TI or the 

IMDG Code. However, these same 

materials would not be subject to the 

HMR when transported by motor 

vehicle, rail car or aircraft in the US. 

The presence of these labels in one 

mode of transport can cause confusion 

in the US supply chain. 

This amendment exempts from the 

HMR small packages of hazardous 

material that are regulated because of 

the presence of one or more marine 

pollutants. Materials in these quantities 

pose a low risk in transportation. In 

addition, these low quantities of 

materials present even lower risks in 

transportation because they often 

contain low concentrations of marine 

pollutant constituents. Lastly, risks of 

incidents are very low. In the past 10 

years, in tens of thousands of vessel 

shipments, PHMSA’s data contains only 

one record of marine pollutant released 

on a vessel that caused environmental 

damage. In this incident, the material 

was packaged in a 55-gallon drum and 

would not be impacted by this 

amendment, since the package would 

still be required to display the marine 

pollutant mark and the shipping 

documents would still have to 

communicate the presence of a marine 

pollutant. By reducing the hazard 

communication (hazcom) burdens for 

lower risk commodities, industry, 

shippers, and transporters can focus 

hazcom resources on areas with 

potentially greater environmental and 

safety consequences. 

This action is consistent with recent 

revisions to the IMDG Code. PHMSA 

believes that this amendment will 

increase standardization and 

consistency of regulations, may also 

result in greater protection of human 

health and the environment. 

Consistency between US and 

international regulations enhances the 

safety and environmental protection of 

international hazardous materials 

transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. Excepting 

these quantities of marine pollutants 

from the HMR will facilitate consistent 

communication of the presence of 

marine pollutants and facilitate safe and 

efficient transportation without 

imposing significant burden associated 

with characterizing mixtures as marine 

pollutants. 

Also similar to the above 

amendments, enhanced environmental 

protection will also be achieved through 

more targeted and effective training. 

This amendment will eliminate 

inconsistent hazardous materials 

regulations, which hamper compliance 

training efforts. For ease of compliance 

with appropriate regulations, 

international carriers engaged in the 

transportation of hazardous materials by 

vessel generally elect to comply with 

the IMDG Code. By maintaining 

consistency between these international 

regulations and the HMR, shippers and 

carriers are able to train their hazmat 

employees in a single set of 

requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

6. Amendments to add minimum 

sizes for the OVERPACK and SALVAGE 

markings. These markings would be 

characters at least 12 mm (.47 inches) 

high: 

PHMSA believes that this 

amendment, which will provide for 

enhanced hazard communication, will 

result in greater protection of human 

health and the environment. An 

overpack is an enclosure to provide 

protection or convenience of handling 

for one or more packages such as pallets 

and crates. A salvage package is used to 

contain a damaged, leaking or nonconforming package. The HMR require 

these packages to be marked 

OVERPACK or SALVAGE, as 

appropriate. This communicates the 

nature of these specialized packaging 

configurations to package handlers and 

emergency responders. However, 

because there is currently no minimum 

size requirement for these marks, this 

information is not always readily 

visible. This amendment would ensure 

that these hazard markings are visible, 

thus resulting in decreased incidents 

with impacts to the environment and 

safety. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

7. Amendments to revise and add 

vessel stowage codes listed in column 

10B of the HMT and segregation 

requirements in HMR § 176.83 

consistent with the IMDG Code. These 

changes are designed to harmonize with 

the IMDG Code and would provide 

additional guidance on the loading and 

stowage of various materials. 

Additionally, proposed amendments to 

increase the required segregation 

distances between Division 4.3 

dangerous when wet material (i.e. 

materials liable to give off a flammable 

or toxic gas in contact with water) and 

Class 3 flammable liquids and Division 

2.1 flammable gases: 

As discussed for previous 

amendments herein, PHMSA believes 

that this amendment, which will 

increase standardization and 

consistency of regulations, will result in 

greater protection of human health and 

the environment. Consistency between 

US and international regulations 

enhances the safety and environmental 

protection of international hazardous 

materials transportation through better 

understanding of the regulations, an 

increased level of industry compliance, 

the smooth flow of hazardous materials 

from their points of origin to their 

points of destination, and consistent 

emergency response in the event of a 

hazardous materials incident. New and 

revised entries to the HMT reflect 

emerging technologies, and a need to 

better describe or differentiate between 

existing entries. These proposed 

changes mirror the IMDG Code. It is 

extremely important for the domestic 

HMR and HMT to mirror the IMDG 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1113 

Code to ensure consistent naming 

conventions across modes and 

international borders. 

Enhanced environmental protection 

will also be achieved through more 

targeted and effective training. This 

amendment will eliminate inconsistent 

hazardous materials regulations, which 

hamper compliance training efforts. For 

ease of compliance with appropriate 

regulations, international carriers 

engaged in the transportation of 

hazardous materials by vessel generally 

elect to comply with the IMDG Code. By 

maintaining consistency between these 

international regulations and the HMR, 

shippers and carriers are able to train 

their hazmat employees in a single set 

of requirements for classification, 

packaging, hazard communication, 

handling, stowage, etc., thereby 

minimizing the possibility of 

improperly preparing and transporting a 

shipment of hazardous materials 

because of differences between domestic 

and international regulations. 

PHMSA also believes that this group 

of amendments will increase 

environmental protection and safety 

through its increased segregation 

distance requirements and enhanced 

guidance, which will better prevent 

materials from contacting each other 

and/or water in transportation. 

Increased segregation distances prevent 

the mixing of incompatible material and 

the subsequent evolution of flammable 

or toxic gases, along with attendant fires 

and explosions. Together, stowage and 

segregation help manage the risks 

associated with the transport of 

hazardous materials by water. While the 

risk associated with the transport of 

these materials is relatively low, these 

measures would further reduce that risk 

and prevent the spread of a fire between 

flammable materials and materials that 

react dangerously with water. 

Greenhouse gas emissions would 

remain the same under this amendment. 

Agencies Consulted 

This final rule represents PHMSA’s 

first action in the US for this program 

area. PHMSA has coordinated with the 

US Federal Aviation Administration 

and the US Coast Guard, in the 

development of this final rule. PHMSA 

has considered the views expressed in 

comments to the NPRM submitted by 

members of the public, state and local 

governments, and industry. 

Conclusion 

The provisions of this final rule build 

on current regulatory requirements to 

enhance the transportation safety and 

security of shipments of hazardous 

materials transported by highway, rail, 

aircraft and vessel, thereby reducing the 

risks of an accidental or intentional 

release of hazardous materials and 

consequent environmental damage. 

PHMSA believes the net environmental 

impact will be positive. PHMSA 

believes that there are no significant 

environmental impacts associated with 

this final rule. 

J. Privacy Act 

In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), 

DOT solicits comments from the public 

to better inform its rulemaking process. 

DOT posts these comments, without 

edit, including any personal information 

the commenter provides, to 

www.regulations.gov, as described in 

the system of records notice (DOT/ALL– 

14 FDMS), which can be reviewed at 

www.dot.gov/privacy. 

K. 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 

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. In fact, the rule is 

designed to facilitate international trade. 

Accordingly, this rulemaking is 

consistent with E.O. 13609 and 

PHMSA’s obligations under the Trade 

Agreement Act, as amended.

CFR 1.81, 1.96 and 1.97. 

■ 9. In § 172.101, revise paragraphs (f) 

and (k) introductory text to read as 

follows: 

§ 172.101 Purpose and use of the 

hazardous materials table. 

* * * * * 

(f) Column 5: Packing group. Column 

5 specifies one or more packing groups 

assigned to a material corresponding to 

the proper shipping name and hazard 

class for that material. Class 2, Class 7, 

Division 6.2 (other than regulated 

medical wastes), and ORM–D materials, 

do not have packing groups. Articles in 

other than Class 1 are not assigned to 

packing groups. For packing purposes, 

any requirement for a specific packaging 

performance level is set out in the 

applicable packing authorizations of 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES2

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 5 / Thursday, January 8, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 1117 

Part 173. Packing Groups I, II and III 

indicate the degree of danger presented 

by the material is great, medium or 

minor, respectively. If more than one 

packing group is indicated for an entry, 

the packing group for the hazardous 

material is determined using the criteria 

for assignment of packing groups 

specified in subpart D of part 173. When 

a reevaluation of test data or new data 

indicates a need to modify the specified 

packing group(s), the data should be 

submitted to the Associate 

Administrator. Each reference in this 

column to a material which is a 

hazardous waste or a hazardous 

substance, and whose proper shipping 

name is preceded in Column 1 of the 

Table by the letter ‘‘A’’ or ‘‘W’’, is 

modified to read ‘‘III’’ on those 

occasions when the material is offered 

for transportation or transported by a 

mode in which its transportation is not 

otherwise subject to requirements of this 

subchapter. 

* * * * * 

(k) Column 10: Vessel stowage 

requirements. Column 10A [Vessel 

stowage] specifies the authorized 

stowage locations on board cargo and 

passenger vessels. Column 10B [Other 

provisions] specifies codes for stowage 

and handling requirements for specific 

hazardous materials. Hazardous 

materials offered for transportation as 

limited quantities are allocated stowage 

category A and are not subject to the 

stowage codes assigned by column 10B. 

The meaning of each code in Column 

10B is set forth in § 176.84 of this 

subchapter. Section 176.63 of this 

subchapter sets forth the physical 

requirements for each of the authorized 

locations listed in Column 10A. (For 

bulk transportation by vessel, see 46 

CFR parts 30 to 40, 70, 98, 148, 151, 153 

and 154.) The authorized stowage 

locations specified in Column 10A are 

defined as follows:

28 The dihydrated sodium salt of 

dichloroisocyanuric acid does not meet 

the criteria for inclusion in Division 5.1 

(Oxidizer) and is not subject to the 

requirements of this subchapter unless 

meeting the criteria for inclusion in 

another class or division. 

* * * * * 

52 This entry may only be used for 

substances that are too insensitive for 

acceptance into Class 1 (explosive) 

when tested in accordance with Test 

Series 2 in the UN Manual of Tests and 

Criteria, Part I (incorporated by 

reference; see § 171.7 of this 

subchapter). 

* * * * * 

147 This entry applies to nonsensitized emulsions, suspensions, and 

gels consisting primarily of a mixture of 

ammonium nitrate and fuel, intended to 

produce a Type E blasting explosive 

only after further processing prior to 

use. The mixture for emulsions typically 

has the following composition: 60–85% 

ammonium nitrate; 5–30% water; 2–8% 

fuel; 0.5–4% emulsifier or thickening 

agent; 0–10% soluble flame 

suppressants; and trace additives. Other 

inorganic nitrate salts may replace part 

of the ammonium nitrate. The mixture 

for suspensions and gels typically has 

the following composition: 60–85% 

ammonium nitrate; 0–5% sodium or 

potassium perchlorate; 0–17% 

hexamine nitrate or monomethylamine 

nitrate; 5–30% water; 2–15% fuel; 0.5– 

4% thickening agent; 0–10% soluble 

flame suppressants; and trace additives. 

Other inorganic nitrate salts may replace 

part of the ammonium nitrate. These 

substances must satisfactorily pass Tests 

8(a), (b) and (c) of Test Series 8 of the 

UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I, 

Section 18 (IBR, see § 171.7 of this 

subchapter), and may not be classified 

and transported unless approved by the 

Associate Administrator.

160 This entry applies to safety 

devices for vehicles, vessels or aircraft, 

e.g. air bag inflators, air bag modules, 

seat-belt pretensioners, and 

pyromechanical devices containing 

Class 1 (explosive) materials or 

materials of other hazard classes. These 

articles must be tested in accordance 

with Test series 6(c) of Part I of the UN 

Manual of Tests and Criteria 

(incorporated by reference; see § 171.7 

of this subchapter), with no explosion of 

the device, no fragmentation of device 

casing or pressure vessel, and no 

projection hazard or thermal effect that 

would significantly hinder fire-fighting 

or other emergency response efforts in 

the immediate vicinity. If the air bag 

inflator unit satisfactorily passes the 

series 6(c) test, it is not necessary to 

repeat the test on the air bag module. 

This entry does not apply to life saving 

appliances described in § 173.219 

(UN2990 and UN3072).

238 Neutron radiation detectors: a. 

Neutron radiation detectors containing 

non-pressurized boron trifluoride gas in 

excess of 1 gram and radiation detection 

systems containing such neutron 

radiation detectors as components may 

be transported by highway, rail, vessel, 

or cargo aircraft in accordance with the 

following: 

(1) Each radiation detector must meet 

the following conditions: 

(i) The pressure in each neutron 

radiation detector must not exceed 105 

kPa absolute at 20 °C; 

(ii) The amount of gas must not 

exceed 13 grams per detector; and 

(iii) Each neutron radiation detector 

must be of welded metal construction 

with brazed metal to ceramic feed 

through assemblies. These detectors 

must have a minimum burst pressure of 

1800 kPa as demonstrated by design 

type qualification testing; and 

(iv) Each detector must be tested to a 

1 × 10¥10 cm3/s leaktightness standard 

before filling. 

(2) Radiation detectors transported as 

individual components must be 

transported as follows: 

(i) They must be packed in a sealed 

intermediate plastic liner with sufficient 

absorbent material to absorb the entire 

gas contents. 

(ii) They must be packed in strong 

outer packagings and the completed 

package must be capable of 

withstanding a 1.8 meter (6-foot) drop 

without leakage of gas contents from 

detectors. 

(iii) The total amount of gas from all 

detectors per outer packaging must not 

exceed 52 grams. 

(3) Completed neutron radiation 

detection systems containing detectors 

meeting the conditions of paragraph 

(a)(1) of this special provision must be 

transported as follows: 

(i) The detectors must be contained in 

a strong sealed outer casing; 

(ii) The casing must contain include 

sufficient absorbent material to absorb 

the entire gas contents; 

(iii) The completed system must be 

packed in strong outer packagings 

capable of withstanding a 1.8 meter (6- 

foot) drop test without leakage unless a 

system’s outer casing affords equivalent 

protection. 

b. Except for transportation by 

aircraft, neutron radiation detectors and 

radiation detection systems containing 

such detectors transported in 

accordance with paragraph (a) of this 

special provision are not subject to the 

labeling and placarding requirements of 

part 172 of this subchapter.

■ 37. Revise § 173.166 to read as 

follows: 

§ 173.166 Safety devices. 

For the purpose of this section, safety 

devices are articles which contain 

pyrotechnic substances or hazardous 

materials of other classes and are used 

in vehicles, vessels or aircraft to 

enhance safety to persons. Examples 

are: air bag inflators, air bag modules, 

seat-belt pretensioners and 

pyromechanical devices. 

Pyromechanical devices are assembled 

components for tasks such as but not 

limited to separation, locking, releaseand-drive or occupant restraint. The 

term includes ‘‘Safety devices, 

pyrotechnic.’’ 

(a) Definitions. An air bag inflator 

(consisting of a casing containing an 

igniter, a booster material, a gas 

generant and, in some cases, a pressure 

receptacle (cylinder)) is a gas generator 

used to inflate an air bag in a 

supplemental restraint system in a 

motor vehicle. An air bag module is the 

air bag inflator plus an inflatable bag 

assembly. A seat-belt pretensioner 

contains similar hazardous materials 

and is used in the operation of a seatbelt restraining system in a motor 

vehicle. 

(b) Classification. (1) Safety devices, 

excluding those which contain 

flammable or toxic gases or mixtures 

thereof, may be classed as Class 9 

(UN3268) if the safety device, or if more 

than a single safety device is involved 

then the representative of the maximum 

parameters of each design type, is 

examined and successfully tested by a 

person or agency who is authorized by 

the Associate Administrator to perform 

examination and testing of explosives 

under § 173.56(b)(1), and who: 

(i) Does not manufacture or market 

explosives or safety devices, is not 

owned in whole or in part, or is not 

financially dependent upon any entity 

that manufactures or markets explosives 

or safety devices; 

(ii) Performs all examination and 

testing in accordance with the 

applicable requirements as specified in 

special provision 160 (see § 172.102 of 

this subchapter); and 

(iii) Maintains records in accordance 

with paragraph (g) of this section. 

(iv) By adhering to all the provisions 

specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this 

section, a Class 9 (UN3268) air bag 

inflator, air bag module or seat-belt 

pretensioner design is not required to be 

submitted to the Associate 

Administrator for approval or assigned 

an EX number. All other Class 9 

(UN3268) safety device designs are 

required to be submitted to the 

Associate Administrator for approval 

and assigned an EX number; 

(2) A safety device may be classed as 

Division 1.4G if the maximum 

parameters of each design type have 

been examined and successfully tested 

by a person or agency who is authorized 

by the Associate Administrator to 

perform such examination and testing of 

explosives under § 173.56(b)(1). As a 

Class 1 explosive, the manufacturer 

must submit to the Associate 

Administrator a report of the 

examination and assignment of a 

recommended shipping description, 

division, and compatibility group, and if 

the Associate Administrator finds the 

approval request meets the regulatory 

criteria, the explosive may be approved 

in writing and assigned an EX number; 

or 

(3) The manufacturer has submitted 

an application, including a 

classification issued by the competent 

authority of a foreign government to the 

Associate Administrator, and received 

written notification from the Associate 

Administrator that the device has been 

approved for transportation and 

assigned an EX number. 

(c) EX numbers. (1) When a safety 

device is classed and approved as a 

Division 1.4G and offered for 

transportation, the shipping paper must 

contain the EX number or product code 

for each approved device in association 

with the basic description required by 

§ 172.202(a) of this subchapter. Product 

codes must be traceable to the specific 

EX number assigned to the device by the 

Associate Administrator. Further, if the 

EX number or product code is contained 

on the shipping paper then it is not 

required to be marked on the outside 

package. 

(2) A safety device, when classed as 

a Class 9 (UN3268), is excepted from the 

EX number, or product code shipping 

paper requirements of paragraph (c) of 

this section. 

(d) Exceptions. (1) A safety device that 

is classed as a Class 9 (UN3268) under 

the terms of paragraph (b)(1) of this 

section and is installed in a motor 

vehicle, aircraft, boat or other transport 

conveyance or its completed 

components, such as steering columns 

or door panels, is not subject to the 

requirements of this subchapter. A 

safety device that has been classed as a 

Division 1.4G and approved by the 

Associate Administrator and is installed 

in a motor vehicle, aircraft, boat or other 

transport conveyance or its completed 

components, such as steering columns

or door panels, is not subject to the 

requirements of this subchapter. 

(2) An air bag module containing an 

inflator that has been previously 

approved by the Associate 

Administrator for transportation is not 

required to be submitted for further 

examination or approval. For 

classifications granted after July 30, 

2013, if the Class 9 designation for the 

inflator is contingent upon packaging or 

other special means specified by the 

authorized testing agency, the modules 

must be tested and certified separately 

to determine if they can be shipped as 

‘‘UN3268, Safety Devices, 9, PG III’’. 

(3) An air bag module containing an 

inflator that has previously been 

approved by the Associate 

Administrator as a Division 2.2 material 

is not required to be submitted for 

further examination to be reclassed as a 

Class 9 material.
