typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2013-24082 RIN Docket No.PHMSA-2013-0205 Notice No.13-14 DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Clarification. October 2, 2013. 49 CFR Part 173 SummaryThis notice clarifies PHMSA&apos;s policy regarding applications for firework device series. PHMSA has required separate applications for each individual firework device. Often one firework device has identical hazardous properties to another firework device that is intended to produce a similar result in a firework display. These similar firework devices are considered part of a series of firework devices. In this document, we are clarifying our policy to accept certain fireworks series applications.

October 2, 2013. 49 CFR Part 173 SummaryThis document clarifies PHMSA&apos;s policy regarding applications for specialty fireworks devices. Specialty fireworks devices are fireworks devices in various shapes that produce multiple effects, simultaneously. In this document, we are establishing our policy regarding specialty fireworks devices.
Title 49 published on 2013-10-01The following are ALL rules, proposed rules, and notices (chronologically) published in the Federal Register relating to 49 CFR 173 after this date.2014-08-11; vol. 79 # 154 - Monday, August 11, 201479 FR 46748 - Hazardous Materials: Reverse Logistics (RRR)
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2014-18741 RIN2137-AE81 Docket No.PHMSA-2011-0143 (HM-253) DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Comments must be received by October 10, 2014. To the extent possible, PHMSA will consider late-filed comments as a final rule is developed. 49 CFR Parts 171 and 173 SummaryPHMSA is proposing to revise the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to return shipments of certain hazardous materials by motor vehicle. PHMSA proposes a definition for “reverse logistics” for hazardous materials that are intended to be returned to or between a vendor, distributor, manufacturer, or other person for the purpose of returning for credit, recalling product, replacement, or similar reason (for instance, from a retail or wholesale outlet). PHSMA proposes to establish a new section in the regulations to provide an exception for materials that are transported in a manner that meets the definition of “reverse logistics.” In this exception, PHMSA proposes to clearly identify the hazardous materials authorized, packaging, hazard communication, and training requirements applicable to reverse logistics shipments. In addition to providing a new reverse logistics exception, this rulemaking also proposes to expand an existing exception for reverse logistics shipments of used automobile batteries that are being shipped from a retail facility to a recycling center.

2014-08-01; vol. 79 # 148 - Friday, August 1, 201479 FR 45016 - Hazardous Materials: Enhanced Tank Car Standards and Operational Controls for High-Hazard Flammable Trains
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2014-17764 RIN2137-AE91 Docket No.PHMSA-2012-0082 (HM-251) DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Comments must be received by September 30, 2014. 49 CFR Parts 171, 172, 173, 174, and 179 SummaryThe Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA or we), in coordination with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), is proposing: new operational requirements for certain trains transporting a large volume of Class 3 flammable liquids; improvements in tank car standards; and revision of the general requirements for offerors to ensure proper classification and characterization of mined gases and liquids. These proposed requirements are designed to lessen the frequency and consequences of train accidents/incidents (train accidents) involving certain trains transporting a large volume of flammable liquids. The growing reliance on trains to transport large volumes of flammable liquids poses a significant risk to life, property, and the environment. These significant risks have been highlighted by the recent instances of trains carrying crude oil that derailed in Casselton, North Dakota; Aliceville, Alabama; and Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, Canada. The proposed changes also address National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) safety recommendations on the accurate classification and characterization of such commodities, enhanced tank car construction, and rail routing.
2014-07-15; vol. 79 # 135 - Tuesday, July 15, 201479 FR 41185 - Hazardous Materials: Requirements for the Safe Transportation of Bulk Explosives (RRR)
typeregulations.gov FR Doc.2014-16382 RIN2137-AE86 Docket No.PHMSA-2011-0345 (HM-233D) DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM). Comments must be submitted by September 15, 2014. To the extent possible, PHMSA will consider late-filed comments as a final rule is developed. 49 CFR Parts 171, 172, 173, and 177 SummaryThe Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations by establishing standards for the safe transportation of bulk explosives. This rulemaking would be responsive to two petitions for rulemaking submitted by industry representatives: P-1557 concerning the continued use of renewal applications, and P-1583 concerning the incorporation of an industry standard publication. Further, developing these requirements would provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility currently only offered by special permit and competent authorities. The requirements of this proposed rule would mirror the majority of provisions contained in nine widely used or longstanding special permits that have established safety records. These proposed revisions are intended to eliminate the need for future renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. As proposed, the requirements would authorize the transportation of certain explosives, ammonium nitrates, ammonium nitrate emulsions, and other specific hazardous materials in bulk packagings, which are not otherwise authorized under the regulations. These hazardous materials are used in blasting operations on specialized vehicles, known as multipurpose bulk trucks, which are used as mobile work platforms to create blends of explosives that are unique for each blast site. Finally, this rulemaking addresses the construction of new multipurpose bulk trucks.
