A Rule by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration on 09/14/2006
54387-54398 (12 pages)
Section 175.75 Quantity and Loading Tables
https://www.federalregister.gov/d/E6-15282 https://www.federalregister.gov/d/E6-15282
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 changes and do not impose new requirements.
PHMSA 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 errors; incorrect references to regulations in the CFR; inaccurate office names and internet addresses; inconsistent use of terminology; and misstatements of certain regulatory requirements. In response to inquiries PHMSA received concerning the clarity of certain requirements specified in the HMR, certain other changes are made to reduce uncertainties.
The following is a summary by section of the changes made in this final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial corrections (e.g., punctuation errors), and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the clarity of the HMR (e.g., corrections to office names and internet addresses).

This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (“Federalism”). This final rule does not adopt any regulation that: (1) 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; (2) imposes substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments; or (3) preempts state law. PHMSA is not aware of any State, local, or Indian tribe requirements that would be preempted by correcting editorial errors and making minor regulatory changes. This final rule does not have sufficient Start Printed Page 54390federalism impacts to warrant the preparation of a federalism assessment.
