This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor regulatory changes, and, in response to requests for clarification, improves the clarity of certain provisions in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). The intended effect of this rule is to enhance the accuracy and reduce misunderstandings of the regulations. The amendments contained in this rule are minor editorial changes and do not impose new requirements.
Effective date: September 27, 2002. Incorporation by reference date: The incorporation by reference of certain publications listed in these amendments is approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of September 27, 2002.
Eileen Edmonson, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, Research and Special Programs Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
RSPA (we, us) annually reviews the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to identify errors that may confuse readers. Inaccuracies corrected in this final rule include typographical and printing errors, incorrect references to other rules and regulations in the CFR, inconsistent use of terminology, and misstatements of certain regulatory requirements. In addition, we are making certain other changes to improve the clarity of certain HMR requirements.
The following is a section-by-section summary of the major amendments made under this final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial corrections (e.g., typographical, capitalization and punctuation errors), changes to legal authority citations, and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the clarity of the HMR.
We adopted Part 105 containing general procedures on how to obtain various hazardous material-related public documents in a final rule published on June 25, 2002 (Docket No. RSPA-98-3974, 67 FR 42948). In this final rule, we are correcting the table of contents' heading for § 105.15 for consistency with the heading appearing in that section. Start Printed Page 61007
We are revising the first sentence in paragraph (a)(2) to reflect a reference point by exemption number instead of by a cut-off date for locations where exemption documents are available for public review. Also we are removing paragraph (b) and redesignating paragraph (c) as paragraph (b). We are making this amendment because the lower numbered exemption documents are being relocated from the Hazardous Materials Records Center to the Office of Hazardous Materials Exemptions and Approvals. The new location for these documents is identified in new paragraph (b)(2)(iv).
We are revising §§ 107.105(a)(1), 107.107(b)(1) and 107.109(a)(1) to permit a person applying for an exemption, party-to status to an application or existing exemption, or an exemption renewal to submit the application to us by facsimile or electronic mail. This change will expedite the transmission of documents and reduce the costs associated with the handling and mailing of paper copies.
We are revising paragraph (d)(3) to reflect the new title, address, and daytime telephone number of the contact person at the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. We are revising the night telephone number in paragraphs (d)(3), (d)(4), and (d)(5) to reflect a toll-free night number managed by the National Response Center. Also, we are revising paragraph (d)(4) to replace an obsolete daytime telephone number.
We are revising paragraph (a) to change the office name and room number where persons may view certain public documents.
We are revising these sections to correct outdated references to former § 107.13. This section was removed under Docket No. RSPA-98-3974.
We are revising these sections to permit a person filing for designation as an approval or certification agency, or filing a registration statement, to submit the application to us by facsimile or electronic mail. This change will expedite the transmission of documents and reduce the costs inherent with the handling and mailing of paper copies.
We are revising paragraph (a)(1) of this section to permit a person filing an approval application to submit it to us by facsimile or electronic mail. This change will expedite the transmission of documents and reduce the costs inherent with the handling and mailing of paper copies.
In addition, we are revising several sections in Part 107 to correct outdated references to former §§ 107.5 and 107.7. These sections were removed under Docket No. RSPA-98-3974.
We are revising the Note following the definition of “Liquid” to add a zip code and change the office name and room number where persons may view certain public documents.
We are revising the table in paragraph (b)(2) to update the affected sections for OMB control numbers 2137-0018 and 2137-0051.
We are revising paragraph (a)(2)(i) to change the office name and room number where persons may view certain public documents.
In paragraph (a)(3), we are updating the incorporation by reference of the American National Standards Institute, Inc.”s (ANSI) publication, “Standard for Packaging of Uranium Hexafluoride for Transport,” to include the 1995 and 2001 editions. Current § 173.420 of the HMR permits uranium hexafluoride to be transported in packagings designed, fabricated, inspected, tested and marked according to the ANSI N14.1 1990, 1987, 1982, or 1971 edition in effect at the time the packaging was manufactured. The 1995 edition discontinues a marking requirement in the 1990 edition that the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code be stamped on 1S and 2S uranium hexafluoride cylinders. The 2001 edition corrects an inconsistency concerning the package marking size on the 30B and 48-inch uranium hexafluoride cylinders. We are also revising the entry to correct the address for ANSI.
Under “American Society of Mechanical Engineers” (ASME), we are revising the entry to correct the address for ASME.
Under “American Society for Testing and Materials,” the title of the entry “ASTM B 580-79” is revised to correctly state the specifications are for “anodic” oxide coatings on aluminum, and the standard was re-approved in 2000.
Under “International Atomic Energy Agency” (IAEA), we are correcting the format of the address for IAEA and the title for “Safety Series No. 6” by revising the word “Materials” to read “Material” and removing the wording “Including 1985 Edition (Supplemented 1986 and 1988).” The safety series was amended in 1990. We are also correcting the entry for the “IAEA Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material,” and the addresses where copies of this document may be obtained.
Under “International Organization for Standardization” (ISO), we are correcting the addresses where copies of the ISO documents may be obtained.
We are making minor editorial corrections to the definitions for the acronyms “Psi”, “Psia”, and “Psig'.
We are updating paragraph (d) to remove the dates following the references to the two IAEA standards because the applicable editions are listed in § 171.7.
We are adding a new paragraph (j)(5). Paragraph (j) explains how to apply the quantity limitations in Columns 9A and 9B of the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) for hazardous materials intended for transportation by aircraft or passenger rail car. The new paragraph (j)(5) alerts persons to the additional general requirements in § 173.24a(c)(1)(iv) that prescribe total net quantity limitations for outer non-bulk packagings containing more than one hazardous material when offered for transportation by aircraft.
In Column 2 of the HMT, the entry “Octafluorocyclobutane or Refrigerant gas” is revised to correct the “RC” number to “318”.
In Column 6 of the HMT, the compatibility group letter “C” is added to the label code to read “1.2C” for the entry “Rockets, with inert head,” UN 0502. This letter was omitted in error when the entry was added to the HMT in a final rule published on April 3, 2002, under Docket No. RSPA-2000-7702 (HM-215D) (67 FR 15736).
In Column 7 of the HMT, Special provision 25 containing an expired compliance date is removed in each shipping description entry it appears.
In Column 10B of the HMT, the entry “Polymeric beads, expandable evolving flammable vapor”, is corrected by Start Printed Page 61008adding “85, 87.” These numbers were removed in error in a final rule published on April 3, 2002, under Docket No. RSPA-2000-7702 (HM-215D) (67 FR 15736).
In paragraph (c)(1), Special provision 25 containing an expired compliance date is removed. Paragraph (c)(4) is revised to clarify that the letter “Z” shown in the marking code in Table 1 for composite intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) must be replaced with the IBC code letter as designated in § 178.707(a)(2) and listed in § 178.702(a)(2).
In paragraph (k), the technical name “Caprylyl chloride” is revised to read “Octanoyl chloride” because it is a more-recognized synonym for the material.
We are revising paragraph (d)(4)(ii) to change the office name and room number where persons may view certain public documents.
In paragraph (a)(1)(ii), we are removing the wording, other than Division 6.1, Packing Group I, “Hazard Zone A or B” to clarify that hazard zones do not apply to solids. See the definition for “Hazard Zone” in § 171.8.
In paragraph (e), Note 2, we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
In paragraph (k), we are removing an obsolete reference to § 175.10(a)(24) that was removed in a final rule published on August 19, 1999, under Docket No. HM-224A (64 FR 45388).
In paragraph (f), we are revising the reference to “14 CFR 108.11” to read “49 CFR 1544.219”. Part 108 of 14 CFR was removed in a final rule published on February 22, 2002 (67 FR 8340) and issued jointly by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Transportation Security Administration. The requirements in former 14 CFR 108.11 were revised and placed in new section 49 CFR 1544.219.
In paragraph (j), we are correcting the reference to “§ 173.315(a)(1)” to read “§ 173.315(a)'.
In paragraph (e)(1), we are removing the semicolon and the word “and” at the end of the sentence and adding a period. The provisions in paragraphs (e)(1) and (e)(2) are independently mutual.
In paragraph (b)(3), we are adding a sentence at the end of the paragraph to alert shippers of organic peroxides that qualify for more than one generic listing, depending on concentration, of a requirement in § 172.203. Section 172.203(k), introductory text, requires on the shipping paper, as part of the technical name, the actual concentration of the organic peroxide being shipped or the concentration range for its appropriate generic listing.
We are revising the section heading to clarify that elevated temperature materials in other than Class 9 (miscellaneous) and Class 3 (flammable liquid) are referred to this section by the HMT.
In paragraph (c)(1), we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
The second sentence in paragraph (i)(1)(iv) referencing the Bureau of Explosives is removed. In paragraph (j)(3), we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
In paragraph (c), the reference to “P202” in the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods is corrected to read “202”.
In paragraph (f), we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
In paragraphs (a) and (b), we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
We are updating paragraph (a)(2)(i) to provide for uranium hexafluoride packagings fabricated to the latest ANSI standards, as stated earlier in the preamble discussion to § 171.7.
We are revising these sections to permit a person filing an application for a competent authority approval covered by these sections, or requesting to register as a user of a competent authority certificate, to submit the application or request to us by facsimile or electronic mail. This change will expedite the transmission of documents and reduce the costs inherent with the handling and mailing of paper copies.
In paragraph (a)(5), the reference to “14 CFR 108.11(a) and (b)” is revised to read “49 CFR 1544.219”, as stated earlier in the preamble discussion to § 173.54.
In paragraph (b)(5), we are removing the reference to 14 CFR part 127 and adding a reference to 14 CFR part 133. FAA removed part 127 in a final rule published December 20, 1995 (60 FR 65832). In the preamble discussion of that rule, FAA stated that all rotorcraft operators regardless of size must comply with Part 133 and external-load operators must comply with Part 135, which is already referenced in the section. (60 FR 65882.)
In the definition for “INF cargo,” we are removing the wording “2000 edition” following the reference to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code because it is the only edition incorporated by reference in § 171.7.
Paragraph (c) is revised editorially for clarity.
In paragraph (b)(9), the wording “§ 173.32(e)(2), (3), and (4)” is corrected to read “§ 180.605”. The portable tank requirements in former § 173.32(e)(2), (3), and (4) were revised and moved to § 180.605 in a final rule published on June 21, 2001, under Docket No. RSPA-2000-7702 (HM-215D) (66 FR 33316).
In paragraph (b)(10), the wording “paragraphs (g), (h), (i), and (k) of § 173.32” is corrected to read “§ 180.605(b) and (j)”. These revisions were also made in the HM-215D final rule.
We are revising paragraph (l) to clarify that this requirement applies only to cargo tank motor vehicles equipped with emergency discharge control Start Printed Page 61009equipment in conformance with § 173.315(n). We adopted paragraph (l) in a final rule published under Docket No. RSPA-97-2718 (HM-225A, May 24, 1999; 64 FR 28030). The HM-225A final rule requires cargo tanks transporting certain liquefied compressed gases to be equipped with emergency discharge control equipment that will operate in the event of an accident or emergency during the unloading process. The emergency discharge control requirement is specified in § 173.315(n) of the HMR. The table in § 173.315(n)(1) specifies that Division 2.2 materials with no subsidiary hazard (excluding anhydrous ammonia) are not required to have an emergency discharge control capability. Section 177.840(l) was intended to apply to cargo tank motor vehicles equipped with emergency discharge control equipment in conformance with § 173.315(n). As currently written, however, paragraph (l) appears to apply to all cargo tank motor vehicles transporting any liquefied compressed gas.
In paragraphs (b) introductory text and (b)(1), we are removing the reference to “Annex 1” of the IMDG Code because it is included in the edition incorporated by reference in § 171.7.
In paragraph (f)(1)(i), the reference to “table I” is corrected to read “table 1”.
Paragraph (k)(2)(ii) is revised editorially for clarity.
In paragraph (b)(1), the reference “table I” is corrected to read “table 1”. In paragraph (b)(2), the reference to “paragraph (f)(1)” is corrected to read “paragraph (f)(4)'.
In paragraph (d)(3), the reference to “§ 173.32a of this subchapter” is revised to read “§ 178.273(b)(7)”. The requirements in former § 173.32a concerning the application for approval of specification IM portable tanks were revised and moved to § 178.273(b)(7) in the final rule published on June 21, 2001, under Docket No. RSPA-2000-7702 (HM-215D) (66 FR 33316).
In paragraph (b)(8)(ii), the reference to “§ 180.605 of this subchapter” is revised to correctly reference the initial inspection and test requirements for portable tanks in § 178.274(j).
The example in paragraph (a) referring to DOT 6C and 17C packagings is removed.
In paragraph (b)(6), the maximum gross weight, in kilograms, of the jacket for a DOT 20WC-6 cylinder is corrected to read 2730 kilograms (6,000 pounds).
In paragraph (e)(3), in the last sentence, the parenthetical text “(as in § 178.503 (c)(1), (2), (3), (4), and (5))” is revised to read “(as in § 178.503(c)(1))”. The requirements in paragraphs (c)(1) through (c)(5) were combined into paragraph (c)(1) in a final rule published on December 29, 1994, under Docket No. HM-215A (59 FR 67390).
We are revising the introductory text to paragraph (e) to clarify a provision stated in § 178.601(a), that the test procedures described in 49 CFR Subpart M are minimum requirements. When the final rule incorporating the performance test requirements was published on December 21, 1990, under Docket Nos. HM-181, HM-181A, HM-181B, HM-181C, HM-181D, and HM-204 (55 FR 52402), RSPA accepted as a given that packagings capable of passing these tests would also survive normal transportation conditions. Therefore, RSPA expects that a package that has been successfully drop tested at a height higher than is prescribed for its packing group need not be retested at the minimum drop height to be marked to its packing group performance level. However, for the test to be valid, each package must strike its intended target in the proper orientation prescribed in § 178.603(a), and pass the other prescribed design type tests for which it is certified and marked.
We are revising paragraph (a) and removing paragraphs (a)(1) and (a)(2) to clarify that the letter “Z” appearing in the marking code for composite IBCs in this section must be replaced by a letter representing the material used for the outer packaging.
We are revising the table in paragraph (a) to correct a printing error and to display the numerical reference to the footnote in the table and following the table in a more distinguishable manner.
In paragraph (a), we are replacing the word “injury” with the word “damage” for clarity.
In paragraph (c)(2), the reference “Director, Regional Office of Motor Carrier Safety, Federal Highway Administration” is revised to read “Field Administrator, Regional Service Center, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.”
This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is not significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Because of the minimal economic impact of this rule, preparation of a regulatory impact analysis or a regulatory evaluation is not warranted.
This rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (“Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments”). Because this rule does not have tribal implications and does not impose substantial direct compliance costs, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.
