CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION September 29, 1992 Dr. Charles Ke Chief, Science Group Office of Hazardous Materials Technology U.S. Department of Transportation 400 Seventh St., S.W. Washington, D.C. 20590-0001 Dear Dr. Ke: Thank you for meeting with representatives of the CMA Vinyl Chloride Panel on August 12, 1992, to discuss the Panel's request to allow the vinyl chloride industry to use either "vinyl chloride" or "vinyl chloride, inhibited," as appropriate, on the shipping label. The basis for the Panel's request was described in my January 16, 1992, letter to Mr. Edward Mazzullo of the DOT Office of Hazardous Materials Standards. A copy of the January 16, 1992, letter is enclosed for your ready reference (Attachment 1). At our August 12, 1992 meeting, you requested additional information on VCM shipping practices in Europe, Asia and the Pacific Rim. I contacted our Panel member companies, and now have received the requested information. This information is described below. VCM domestically and in foreign countries is shipped mainly by railcars, pipelines or marine vessels. Most domestic VCM shipments by railcars and pipelines are uninhibited, l.e., no chemical inhibitor is added. Export marine shipments are either chemically inhibited or uninhibited. There are three classes of vessels that carry VCM. These are fully refrigerated, semi-refrigerated, and pressure vessels. The fully refrigerated ships operate at temperatures of -15 C with relief valve settings of 2 to 3 psig. Semi-refrigerated ships can load VCM at ambient temperatures but normal operation is also to cool the VCM to the customer's requirements or to fully refrigerated conditions. The tanks are rated for 45 to 100 psig. Pressure vessels operate at ambient temperature and have tank ratings of 150 to 200 psig. Auto polymerization in the refrigerated or semi-refrigerated class of vessels is unlikely due to the low product temperatures maintained. Pressure vessels are very similar to tank cars and carry the same low risk of auto polymerization as tank cars. Vessel shipments of VCM from the US do not require an inhibitor as long as the tanks are purged with inert gas until the oxygen content is below 0.1%, and the tanks are carried under positive pressure. The attached IM0 regulations govern the VCM shipping practices (Attachment 2). US Coast Guard regulations are not clear, but the Coast Guard is aware of both Inhibited and uninhibited VCM shipments from the US. 2501 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037 202-887-1100 Panafax 202-887-1237 Telex 89617 (CMA WSH) CMA 111110 Dr. Charles Ke September 29, 1992 Page 2 While the risk of polymerization is remote and the IMO regulations do not specifically require VCM to be inhibited, the actual practice is mixed. Most shipping contracts call for "properly inhibited" VCM. The term "properly inhibited" has never been defined. U.S. shipments to the Far East and Europe are almost always inhibited. Most shipments to Mexico are not inhibited. A typical voyage to the Far East from the US is 30 days while the time to Mexico is 3 to 5 days. In Europe, when Far East shipments are made in large ships, they are inhibited with Hydroquinone. Generally, the ships have other products in the same hold previous to VCM and have too high an oxygen concentration, probably greater than 1000 ppm oxygen by volume. It Is too expensive to purge the large ship tanks to a lower specification suitable to prevent polymerization, and, therefore, the monomer is inhibited by chemical addition. The distance has some bearing whether to inhibit VCM, but the decision to inhibit or not probably is made based on cost to lower the oxygen content of huge ship tanks to below 0. IT. Each country's handling of vinyl chloride monomer is different. One place in Europe does not inhibit while in storage and during transportation to the polymer plants. This is due to the dedicated service of pipelines, etc. Some companies in Japan inhibit monomer going into storage and to polymer plants and small shuttle ships, where another Japanese company does not inhibit monomer handled on land. The Koreans do not inhibit monomer domestically. The Saudis do inhibit their VCM storages. As we discussed over the phone about two weeks ago, the domestic VCM name plate capacity is about 12 billion pounds, and about 6 billion pounds are shipped internally by railcars. The two other methods of transportation of vinyl chloride are by pipelines or marine vessel. In conclusion, the CMA Vinyl Chloride Panel requests that the U.S. DOT add "Vinyl Chloride" to the 49 CFR 172.102 table as a separate shipping name for those shipments that do not contain a chemical inhibitor. If you have any questions concerning the information in this letter, please call me at (202) 887-1192. Sincerely, Enclosure cc: George Cushmac Vinyl Chloride Panel Hasmukh C. Shah, Ph.D. Manager, Vinyl Chloride Panel CMA Him & CHEMICAL MANUFACTURERS ASSOCIATION ATTACHMENT 1 January 16, 1992 V Mr. Edward Mazzullo DHM-10 Director, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards U.S. Department of Transportation 400 7th St, SW Washington, D.C. 20590*0001 Dear Mr. Mazzullo: The Chemical Manufacturers Association Vinyl Chloride Panel hereby requests that the Department of Transportation reconsider the shipping label name for vinyl chloride containers. The DOT Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR: 49 CFR Parts 171*180) that have been converted to United Nations Standards have changed the proper shipping name of vinyl chloride from "Vinyl Chloride" to "Vinyl Chloride, inhibited." This change has concerned vinyl chloride producers because an inhibitor is not added to the monomer for purposes of domestic shipments and on some international shipments. Industry recognizes inhibiting vinyl chloride as the addition of a chemical, such as hydroquinone, that would prevent self polymerization. Removing oxygen to low parts per million quantities or cooling the liquid monomer is considered an inhibiting step by Dr. Charles ICe of DOT. These processes are understood to be a requirement for storing and shipping vinyl chloride and not an inhibiting step for the monomer as Dr. Ke has suggested. Labeling containers such as tank cars with the Inhibitor statement will create confusion for all handlers of this product. There has not been a problem with vinyl chloride self polymerizing while in a shipping container and in route to shipping locations. For this reason, most producers and shippers do not inhibit vinyl chloride for domestic tank car, truck, and water transportation. The chemical inhibitor would interfere with the conversion of vinyl chloride to a polymer. The addition of "Inhibited" as part of the vinyl chloride proper shipping name would be an Incorrect marking of most packages shipped today. Markings on all bulk transportation equipment, non-bulk packages and shipping documents would roqulre the addition of the "Inhibited" description. The Vinyl Chloride Panel, therefore, petitions for reconsideration to add "Vinyl Chloride" as a separate proper shipping name for those shipments that do not contain a chemical inhibitor.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking. SUMMARY: This notice proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain alignment with corresponding provisions of international standards. Because of 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 Technical Instructions), and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations), these proposed revisions are necessary to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce.

ADDRESSES: Address comments to the Dockets Unit (DHM-30), Research and Special Program* Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Washington, DC 20590-0001. Comments should Identify the docket and be submitted in five copies. Persons wishing to receive confirmation of receipt of their comments should include a aeU-eddramd stamped post card. The Dockets Unit Is in Room 8421 of the NassifBuilding, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC. Public dockets may be reviewed between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, except for Federal holidays. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Bob Richard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 21,1990, the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA) published a final rule {Docket HM-181; 55 FR 524021 which comprehensively revised the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR), 49 CFR Parts 171 to 180, with respect to hazard communication, classification, and packaging requirements, based on the UN Recommendations. One intended effect of the rule was to facilitate the international transportation at hazardous materials by ensuring a basic consistency between the HMR mid international regulations. The UN Recommendations are not regulations, but are recommendations issued by the UN Committee ofExperts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. These recommendations are amended and updated biennially bv the Committee of Experts and are distributed to nations throughout the world. They serve as the basis for international modal regulations; specifically the IMDG Code, issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and the ICAO Technical Instructions. In 49 CFR 171.12, the HMR authorize shipments prepared in accordance with the IMDG Code if all or part of the transportation is fay vessel, subject to certain conditions and limitations. Offering, accepting and transporting hazardous materials by aircraft, in conformance with the ICAO Technical Instructions, and by motor vehicle either before or after being transported by aircraft, are authorized in 5 171.11 (with certain exceptions). On December 22,1992, XSPA issued an interim final rule [Docket HM-215: 57 FR 60738] amending $ 171.7 by incorporating the 1993--1994 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions and Amendment 26 to the IMDG Code. This rulemaking action authorized the use of the updated international regulations, effective January l, 1993. Amendment 26 promulgated numerous miscellaneous changes to the IMDG Code regarding classification, labeling, packaging, ana documentation. The 1993-1994 edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions contained amendments relating to the seventh revised edition of the UN Recommendations, as well as changes specific to air transportation. The HMR, as revised under Docket HM-181. are largely based on the sixth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. Selected provisions from the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations have been incorporated into the HMR under subsequent Docket HM-181 rulemaking actions. This NPRM seeks to more fully align the HMR with the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. These proposed changes to the HMR wifi provide consistency with the international air and sea transport requirements which, effective January 1, 1995, will be aligned with the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations. While the changes introduced in the seventh and eighth revised editions are extensive and in some cases very detailed, some of the more significant changes are highlighted below. Major changes in the seventh revised edition include: --Definitions and criteria for the classification for gases were revised, three subdivisions for gases were created, and the physical states of gases were defined (e.g. liquefied gas. refrigerated liquefied gas, etc). Gases listed in the UN Recommendations were reclassified according to the agreed criteria. This effort will lead to improved harmonization of U.S. and European requirements for the classification of gases. These changes have already been incorporated in the HMR in Subpari D of Part 173. --Training requirements similar to those introduced into Part 172 Subpart H of the HMR under Docket HM-126F. were added. --Criteria for self-reactive substances assigned to Division 4.1 were developed. The applicable test methods and criteria for self-reactive substances are based on organic peroxide tests and criteria. New generic proper shipping names for self-reactive substances were introduced. --A number of new "Not Otherwise Specified" (N.O.S.) proper shipping names for substances in Class 4 and Division 5.1 were introduced. Proposals for introducing the new names originated from efforts in Europe to adopt the classification criteria for Class 4 and Division 5.1 into European road and rail regulations. --Provisions defining conditions under which minor variations of tested design-type packagings and requirements for "V" marked packagings were added. Proposals to include these requirements originated in the U.S. out of concern for the extent of testing that would otherwise be required to certify packagings in accordance with the UN performance standards. These provisions have already been adopted in the HMRin Subpart M of Part 178. Major changes in the eighth revised edition include: CMA 111119 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 1994 / Proposed Rules 36489 --Numerous additional types of _ packaging were added to the explosive packing instructions. This was largely a U.S. initiative arising from a concern lor the number of packagings that would otherwise have to be authorized through exemptions. --Provisions for elevated temperature materials were added. These provisions are consistent with those adopted in the HMR under Docket HM-198A. --Criteria defining substances not able to sustain combustion were included. The criteria for flammable liquids were amended so that certain substances whkh meet the flash point criteria for flammable liquids, but which are shown to be incapable of sustaining combustion, are excepted from the Recommendations. This proposal was originally proposed by the United Kingdom, which had similar provisions in its domestic regulations. --The criteria for corrosive substances were modified to reference the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development test protocol for skin corrosivity and to clarify the extent of skin damage needed for substances to be classified as corrosives. This was done in response to initial proposals by Germany and the European chemical industry. --A number of new NjO.S. proper shipping names for substances in Class 3, Division 6.1 and Class 6 were introduced. Proposals for introducing the new names originated from efforts in Europe to adopt the classification criteria for these hazard classes into European road and rail regulations. Proper shipping names for petroleum products also were updated as part of this effort --The Recommendations were amended to require that a package bear labels representing each subsidiary risk of a material described using an N.O.S, proper shipping name. This amendment was baaed on a proposal made by the United Kingdom. --The current Division 6.1 Packing Group ID label was deleted. For a more detailed discussion of the events leading to this decision, see RSPA's Notice 93-21 under Docket HM-217 published in the Federal Register on November 8,1993 (58 FR 59224), --Requirements for a freight container packing certificate were added on the basis ofa United Kingdom proposal seeking to bring the UN Recommendations in line with the IMDG Code requirements. --A number of omctanryc meeting the criteria of Division 6.1 Packing Group I toxic by inhalation were reclassified based on UJS. proposals. --Provisions on the marking of steel drums used to transport dangerous goods and provisions clarifying the requirements applicable to drum reconditioners and remanu&durers were included on the basis of proposals by the international Association for Drum Reconditioners (ICDR). --Detailed test criteria for lithium batteries were added. The new provisions allow batteries with a higher lithium content to be excepted from regulation if they meet new tests and criteria. The initial proposal on this topic was introduced by Canada. --Criteria under which air bag modules and air b^ inflators could be transported as Class 6 items were introduced. Proper shipping names for these articles were also added. These changes were mde on the basis of U.S. proposals. With a few exceptions described in this paragraph, the following changes are proposed to ensure a basic consistency with many changes contained in the seventh and eighth revised editions ofthe UN Recommendations, the 1993-1994 and the 1995-1996 ICAO Technical Instructions, end Amendments 26 and 27 of the IMDG Code. However, proposed changes to the KEEP AWAY FROM FOOD label and placard provisions wilt be addressed in a notice of proposed rulemaking under Docket HM-217. In addition, proposed amendments to provisions for Division 6.2 materials (infectious substances) will be addressed in a separate rulemaking action under Docket HM181G. Although the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations adopted a quality assurance program for the manufacture of performance packagings, RSPA is not proposing a formal quality assurance program in this document- RSPA believes that periodic retest provisions in Subpart M of Part 178 offer an equivalent measure of quality assurance, but RSPA may propose adoption of a more formal quality assurance program in a future rulemalSng action. Comments are solicited on this issue. Summary ofProposed Regulatory Changes by Section Part 171 Section 171.7. Various standards such as those issued by the International Organization tor Standardization (ISO) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) would be added or updated, and the most current versions of the ICAO Technical Instructions, the IMDG Code, and the UN Recommendations would be incorporated. Section 171 Jt. New definitions for ''Asphyxiant gas." "Gas" and "Siftproof packaging" would be added, and definitions for "Box." "Liquid." "Overpack" and "Solid" would be revised for consistency with the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. The definition for "UN standard packaging" would be revised t^clarify that it applies to both Unmanufactured and foreignmanufactured packagings and to delete reference to Subparts L and M of Part 178. Section 17l.ll. Paragraph (d)(5) would be revised to include the word "toxic" when referring to a poison. Section 171.12. Paragraph (c) would be revised to clarify that this paragraph applies only to the shipment of hazardous materials through U.S. port areas in the course of being transported from one foreign country to another. In addition, paragraph (b) would be revised for the following reasons. RSPA received three petitions for rulemaking requesting an amendment to the HMR to require a container packing certification attesting that the freight container has been properly packed, stowed, segregated and secured for transport. Those responsible for packing the unit would be required to provide a certificate or declaration to the carrier for international transportation by vessel. A freight container packing certification requirement was adopted several years ago under Amendment 24 to the IMDG Code and became effective worldwide on January 1.1994. as mandated under the international Convention on Safety of Life at.Sea (SOLAS Convention). When hazardous materials are packed into a freight container or transport vehicle for transportation by vessel, those responsible for packing the unit must provide a certificate or declaration to the carrier attesting that the container is suitable for transport, that it contains compatible materials in packages that have been properly inspected, packed, and secured, and the container and packages are properly marked, labeled, and placarded. This certification may appear either in a separate document or in a signed statement provided on the dangerous goods shipping document Because the U.S. is e signatory to the SOLAS Convention, petitioners urged RSPA to adopt a similar container packing certification requirement under the HMR. RSPA Is proposing to amend 171.12(b) and 176.27(c) to reference CMA 111120 36490 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 1994 / Proposed Rules Code requirements for a container packing certification for freight containers and transport units intended for carriage by vessel. A "unit" could be a freight container, van trailer, or other transport vehicle. This requirement would apply to persons who load hazardous materials for transportation (including freight forwarders, freight consolidators and non-vessel operating common carriers) or transport hazardous materials by vessel. Section 171.14. Paragraph (c)(3) contains provisions for intermixing old and new hazard communication requirements. Because of the October l, 1993 mandatory compliance date for new hazard communication requirements, these provisions no longer apply. Therefore, paragraph (c)(3) would be removed and reserved. Part 172 Sections 172.101 and 172.102. RSPA is proposing to revise the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) and the list of special provisions in 5172.102 for basic conformance with the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, the ICAO Technical Instructions (19951996 edition) and the 27th edition of the IMDG Code. Under Docket HM-181, the JfMT was revised by consolidating the Existing HMT, the Optional Table in * 172.102, the UN Recommendations' List of Dangerous Goods, the ICAO Dangerous Goods List, the IMDG Code list of dangerous goods, the list of dangerous goods found in Canada's Transport of Dangerous Goods (TDG), and the IM Tank Table. The IM Tank Table, though not codified in the HMR, authorized the transport of hazardous materials in intermodal (IM) portable tanks. The Optional Table contained in the pre-HM-181 HMR was the table used for selection of proper shipping names to be used in domestic and international transportation by vessel. RSPA consolidated the tables under Docket HM-181 to simplify the use and reduce the volume of the HMR, as well as to align HMR hazard communication and classification requirements with the UN Recommendations. Since publication of HM-181, the UN, ICAO, and IMO have incorporated changes to their lists of dangerous goods. If RSPA does not incorporate comparable changes to the HMT, the result will be two sets of regulations (one for domestic and one for intemationid transportation) and confusion in the regulated community--which could result in unsafe shipments and restrictions on international trade. In addition, by not dopting such changes, RSPA will xpend considerable resources reviewing and issuing approvals and initiating separate rulemakings to authorize shipments prepared in accordance with the international standards. Proposed changes to shipping descriptions are based primarily on Chapters 2 and 3 of the UN Recommendations. In turn, the changes to the IMO and ICAO lists of dangerous goods also are based on the UN Recommendations. Proposed changes include additions, deletions and revisions of shipping names, classifications, subsidiary hazards, labeling requirements, and packing group assignments--such as adding or changing a material's packing group. In addition, RSPA proposes to permit a special provision to be assigned to a shipping description to clarify the composition of a material described under a specific entry. Except for certain materials, such as elevated temperature materials and sodium batteries, proposed changes to a material's packaging authorizations are based on a material's packing group and subsidiary hazard, and physical state (solid, liquid, or gas). Packaging authorizations would be consistent with corresponding entries already appearing in the HMT. For example, the non-bulk packaging section for a Class 3, Packing Group I material would be $ 173.201. A Division 6.1, Packing Group Efi material would be assigned $ 173.153 for a possible packaging exception, while a Division 6.1, Packing Group I or 0 material would receive no packaging exception section. A Class 8, Packing Group I liquid material would be assigned $ 173.243 for bulk packaging requirements while a Class 8, Packing Group n liquid material would be assigned to $ 173.242. It is important to note that any change to a material's classification, packing group, or subsidiary hazards could have an effect on the material's packaging authorizations. Under HM-181.IM tank authorizations were consolidated into the HMT (through the use of special provisions prefaced by a "T") and were consistent with the sixth revision of the UN Recommendations. In this notice, RSPA is proposing to revise the IM tank authorizations for consistency with the changes in Chapter 12 of the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations. These proposed changes can be found in the "T-note" authorizations that are listed in Column 7 of the HMT. The aircraft quantity limitations in Column 9 and the vessel stowage requirements in Column 10 would be revised for consistency with the ICAO Technical Instructions and IMDG Code, respectively. In 172.101(k)(lHk)(5), the definitions of the vessel stowage codes, which are prescribed in the 172.101 Table, would be revised for consistency with the IMDG Code. This proposed revision would broaden current stowage provisions for hazardous materials on cargo vessels to apply to hazardous materials (such as propane) on passenger vessels carrying a limited number of passengers. Changes proposed to the HMT are quite extensive--approximately 33% of the entries in the HMT would be changed. Therefore, RSPA is publishing the entire proposed HMT in this notice, but does not believe it is necessary to discuss every proposed change in this section review. However, in order to facilitate the reader's understanding of the changes to the HMT, RSPA is providing a list of all entries that would be added, deleted, or made more restrictive. This list includes changes in (1) the shipping name, (2) IM tank authorization, (3) subsidiary labeling, (4) classification, and (5) packaging. In addition, a discussion of some of the more substantive changes is provided. Many proper shipping names were added in the 1995-1996 ICAO Technical Instructions to reflect both singular and plural forms. The eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations added a provision allowing the use of either the singular or plural form of a proper shipping name. RSPA is not proposing to add separate entries in the HMT to indicate both the singular and plural form of a proper shipping name because 172.101(c)(1) currently permits use of either form. Numerous editorial changes would be made to the HMT to correct misspellings and errors, and to provide more consistency. An entry having only a typographical error corrected is not shown in the list of significant changes. Therefore, it is necessary to review the entire HMT to determine every proposed change. Currently under the HMR. compressed and liquefied gases of the same material have the same shipping description and identification number (I.D. number). RSPA is proposing to split the generic shipping descriptions for "Compressed or Liquefied gases" into separate entries and add new generic entries and I.D. numbers for liquefied gases, consistent with the UN Recommendations. In addition, new generic entries would be added for self heating liquids and solids. Specific entries for self-reactive materials would be removed from the HMT and replaced with new generic entries. CMA 111121 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 16, 1994 / Proposed Rules 36491 The UN Recommendations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and IMDG Code replaced the term "poisonous" with the term "toxic." RSPA is proposing to amend the proper shipping names in the HMT that contain the word "poisonous" by replacing the word "poisonous" with the word "toxic'' to conform to international terminology. For example, the proper shipping name "Flammable liquid, poisonous, n.o.s." would be revised to read "Flammable liquid, toxic, n.o.s.". However, 172.101(c)(3) would- be revised to allow the use of the word "poisonous" interchangeably with the word "toxic". The words "inorganic" and "organic" would be added to certain generic shipping descriptions. Comments are invited regarding the safety benefits of these modified descriptions, and as to whether there is a need for domestic exceptions. In addition, RSPA is proposing to add new generic entries for a corrosive material to indicate whether the material is "basic" or "acidic." RSPA also is proposing to add new entries, as adopted in the UN Recommendations, for solid materials containing flammable, corrosive, or toxic liquids. The eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations added entries and assigned new UN I.D. numbers for elevated temperature materials. RSPA is proposing to change the I.D. numbers for elevated temperature materials in-the HMT to correspond with those in the UN Recommendations. Currently under the HMR. air bags are assigned to the Division 4.1 hazard class and the proper shipping name is limited to "Air bag inflators" or "Air bag modules." Based on changes in the UN Recommendations, RSPA would revise the proper shipping name for air hags to include seat belt pre-tensioners and modules. The new proper shipping name would be "Air bag inflators or Air bag modules or Seat-belt modules or Seat-belt pre-tensioners." This entry also would reflect a change in classification from Division 4.1 to Class 9, adoption of a new UN number, and removal of the "D" in Column 1. Two new domestic entries would be added for "Toy caps" and `Toy propellant devices". Toy propellant devices containing 30 grams or less propellant would be classed as Division 1.4S while items containing more than 30 grams but not more than 62.5 grams would be classed as Division 1.4C. Two new entries for "Batteries, containing sodium" and "Cells, containing sodium" would be added in the HMT based on the UN Recommendations entry (UN 3292). Since these materials were previously authorized only under the terms of an exemption or competent authority approval. RSPA is proposing to add a new packaging section 173.189 that prescribes general packaging and transport requirements for these materials consistent with the UN Recommendations. Currently, in Column 1. a "+'' is assigned to certain materials meeting the criteria of Division 6.1, Packing Group I. toxic by inhalation, but classed in another hazard class. The eighth revised edition ofthe UN Recommendations incorporated revisions to the hazard classification of these materials to Division 6.1, Packing Group I, toxic by inhalation. Therefore, the "+" would be removed from Column 1 for any liquid poison by inhalation (PIH) material newly clamed in Division 6.1, Packing Group L The shipping name "acetonitrile" is proposed to replace the name "methyl cyanide." The hazard class for "Formaldehyde solutions" currently shown as Class 9 would be revised to Class 8. Numerous generic pesticide entries would be revised to remove the "jlojc" from the shipping names. Previously under tire UN Recommendations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and the IMDG Code, a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1, Packing Group ID was not recognized. However, the international standards now take such a subsidiary hazard into account. Therefore, numerous entries would appear for the first time with a Division 6.1, Packing Group DI subsidiary hazard. In addition, an exception in 172.l01(c)(12)(iii), which allows a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1, Packing Group DI to be disregarded when selecting a proper shipping name; would be removed. Revised generic shipping descriptions for Division 4.3 materials would be prefaced by the words "water-reactive" in lieu of the words "substances which in contact with water emit". The prefix of the identification number for "Polyester resin kits" would be changed to "UN" from "NA" and a special provision "40" would be added in Column 7 that would specify contents and packaging requirements for polyester resin kits. In addition. Special Provision "117" would be removed from the entry corresponding to "UN 0150." The entry for alcoholic beverages would be revised in Column 7 to include Special Provision "24", which would indicate that alcoholic beverages with more than 70 percent alcohol by volume would be assigned Packing Group D and alcoholic beverages containing more than 24 percent but not more than 70 percent alcohol would be assigned Packing Group m. In addition. 173.150 would be revised to increase (to five liters per inner packaging) the quantity of alcoholic beverage in a packaging excepted from the HMR and to provide an exception adopted in the Packing Group ID alcoholic beverages transported in receptacles of 250 L (66 gallons) or less to be excepted from the HMR unless transported by air. The following tables identify those entries that would be: (1) deleted; (2) significantly changed; or (3) added. An entry is considered significantly changed if there is a change in (1) the shipping name. (2) LM tank authorization, (3) subsidiary labeling, (4) classification, or (5) packaging. Each entry is identified by its identification number which, along with the crossreference table appearing in the HMR prior to the HMT, can be used to identify the affected entries. Unless otherwise indicated, the identification numbers are "UN" numbers: list of Entries That Would Be Deleted From the 172.101 Table NA2255* NA2810NA2811* 0273 0274 0416 me 1255 1256 1257 'Sm w> my adort w <a* UN < 1270 1271 1564 1592 1703 1705 1884 2207 2229 2449 2497 2563 2860 2951-2955 2970-2973 3030-3043 NA92S9* NA9276* CMA 111122 36492 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 1994 / Proposed Rules List of Entries That Would Be Significantly Changed NA1760 NA1986 NA2922 1106 1125 1135 1143 1154 1158 1160 1162 1167 1198 1202 1210 1214 1221 1228 1235 1265 1268 1274 1277 1282 1289 1296 1297 1298 1308 1310 1320 1321 1322 1325 1328 1334 1336 1337 1344 1348 1349 1350 1353 1354 1355 1356 1357 1361 1364 - 1373 1378 1395 1402 1408 1409 1415 1418 1420 1428 1454 1455 1458 1459 1462 1474 1475 1477 1481 1482 1483 1489 1502 1506 1508 1511 1517 1549 1564 1566 1570 1588 1589 1590 1599 1601 1602 1605 1613 1614 1648 1660 1708 1715 1719 1722 1724 1731 1740 1747 1750 1751 1752 1755 1757 1761 1773 1783 1787 1788 1789 1809 1811 1814 1816 1819 1824 1888 1908 1922 1952 1953 1954 1955 1956 1975 1986 1988 1992 2006 2022 2029 2047 2051 2076 2189 2194 2195 2196 2198 2206 2209 2211 2218 2219 2232 2242 2251 2257 2258 2260 2264 2267 2270 2276 2332 2337 2343 2351 2359 2361 2379 2382 ' 2383 2386 2389 2399 2401 2407 2417 2418 2420 2421 2427 2428 2429 2430 2438 2445 2461 2478 2482 2484 2485 2495 2501 2502 2517 2621 2526 2529 2530 2533 2534 2557 2564 2571 2583 2584 2585 2586 2604 2606 2610 2616 2619 2626 2670 2677 2679 2681 2684 2693 2733 2734 2735 2741 2742 2757-2787 2789 2796 2801 2810 2813 2817 2818 2821 2823 2826 2834 2837 2841 2845 2846 2857 2869 2874 2881 2904-2905 2921-2930 2938 2945-2946 2965 2985-2988 2991-3021 3024-3027 3049-3050 3065-3066 3071 3079 3084 3086-3088 3094 3096 3098-3100 3119-3150 List of additions to the 172-101 Table list of Additions to the 172.101 Table--Continued List of Additions to the 172.101 Table--Continued UN SHIPPING NAME UN t SHIPPING NAME UN* SHIPPING NAME 0491 .. 0492 .. 0493 .. 0494 .. 0495.. 0496 .. 0497 .. 0498 0499.. 1851 .. 1990 .. 3155.. 3156 .. 3157 .. 3158 .. 3159 .. 3160 .. 3161 .. 3162 .. 3163.. 3164 - charges, PROPELLING.

CORROSIVE LIQUID, SELF-HEAT ING, N.O.S. Appendix B to 172.101. In a November 5,1992 final rule entitled "Marine Pollutants" [57 FR 52934], RSPA stated that it would consider, in a future rulemaking action, a criteriabased system to identify marine pollutants. Adoption of a criteria-based system would provide continuity and harmony, as well as permit identification of potential pollutants previously not identified. Therefore, RSPA is proposing to add two notes which are consistent with recent IMO decisions. The first. Note 4, would allow a material meeting criteria for a marine C" tant in the IMDG Code but not in Appendix B of 172.101, to be transported as a marine pollutant. Note 5 would allow the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety to except from HMR requirements a material listed in Appendix B of the HMR that does not meet the IMDG Code criteria for a marine pollutant. In addition, a number of materials would be added to, or removed from, the HMR's List of Marine Pollutants. Section 172.102. Special Provisions 23, 24, 26, 32,34-40, and 43-51 would be added to $ 172.102. These special provisions relate to certain materials' classifications and any special packaging requirements that are necessary to safely transport these materials. Due to an oversight. Special Provision 23 was already added in a CMA 111124 36494 Federal Register / VoL 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 16, 1994 / Proposed Rules final rule published June 2,1994 (Docket HM-166Z; 59 FR 28493}. This E'al provision concerned fication of anunoniuin nitrate fertilizer. Special Provision 23 in this notice does not apply to ammonium nitrate fertilizer and is not intended to revise the recently adopted Special Provision 23. However, because of a time constraint and the difficulty in unending Column 7 of the HMT, the new provision will be proposed in this notice under Special Provision 23, but will be renumbered to Special Provision 38 in the final rule under Docket HM-- Z15A. Section 172.203. A new paragraph (o) would be added to require additional information to be included in the shipping paper description for organic peroxides and self-reactive materials. In addition, paragraphs (k) and (m) would be revised based on changes to the HMT. In paragraph (k), tire list of shipping names requiring technical names would be revised based on changes to the HMT. In paragraph (m), the reference to "Poison" would be modified to include an alternative reference to "Toxic." Section 172204. The certification statement in paragraph (a)(2) would be revised to add "placarded" as a condition for declaring a shipment to be properly prepared for transportation: I This wording is consistent with international declarations and would enable one shipper certification statement to be used for both domestic and export shipments so that different ' preprinted forms are not needed. | Section 172320. Section 172.320 | would be revised to permit all product codes that are traceable to an "EX- number" to be marked an boxes of explosives in lieu of the EX number. Section 172.400a. A new paragraph (c) would be added to state that a subsidiary POISON label is not required on a package bearing a primary CORROSIVE label if the poison hazard of the material inside is based solely on corrosive destruction of tisane and is not due to systemic poisoning. This provision was omitted inadvertently in the Docket HM-181 final rale, and reinstating it would be consistent with international requirements. Section 172.402. For consistency with revisions to the UN Recommendations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and the IMDG Code, labeling for certain subsidiary hazards would be required. The subsidiary table in paragraph (a)(2) would be revised to exclude Qasa 3 Puking Gimp ID subsidiary risk mstarials having s flash point at or above 3* *C (100 *F) from the requirement to label, except when transporting the materials by air or vessel. This proposed revision would require that a material having a subsidiary risk of Class 3 Packing Group III and a flash point below 38 T?{10Q F) be labeled for the Class 3 subsidiary hazard in accordance with this section. In addition, the exception from subsidiary hazard labeling for Class 8 Packing Group IQ and Division 6.1 Packing Group IU materials transported by highway or rail would be removed. Previously, a Division 6.1 Packing Group m subsidiary hazard was not required internationally or domestically. Based on a change adopted in the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations, which removed the STOW AWAY FROM FOODSTUFFS label and placard, packages containing materials having either a primary or subsidiary hazard in Division 6.1 Packing Group HI areraquired to bear a POISON label. As noted previously in this document, RSPA is addressing this issue in a rulemaking action under Docket HM-217. However, RSPA believes that a package containing a material meeting Division 6.1 Packing Group HI criteria as either a primary or subsidiary hazard should bear a label which communicates a waning that the material must be kept separate from foodstuffs. Therefore, RSPA is proposing that any material having a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1 Packing Group ID must bear a KEEP AWAY FROM POOD subsidiary label when transported domestically by any mode. Also, new subsidiary labeling requirements for Class 2 materials would, under this proposal, be added as paragraphs (f) and (g). Section 172.411. A requirement specifying a minimum height for the compatibility group letter an certain EXPLOSIVE labels would be removed. Section 172.416. Section 172.416 would be revised to allow the use of the words "TOXIC GAS" on the POISON GAS labeL Section 172.430. Section 172.430 would be revised to allow tbe use of the word `TOXIC" on the POISON label. Section 172340. Section 172.540 would be revised to allow tbe use of tbe words "TOXIC GAS" an tbe POISON GAS placard. Section 172.547. Section 172.547 would be revised to reduce the size requirement for the word "spontaneously" In the "SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTIBLE" placard from 25 mm to 12 mm. Section 172354. Section 172.5S4 would be revised to allow the use ofthe word "TOXIC" on tile POISON placard. Part 173 Section 173.2a. Consistent with the UN Recommendations, the Precedence of Hazards Table would be amended to account for combinations of Division 4.2 and Class 8 materials which currently are denoted as impossible combinations. In addition, a new footnote 5 would be added to the paragraph (b) table to specify that, far materials having multiple risks which are not listed by technical name in the $ 172.101 Table, the most stringent packaging group must be used. Also, a note would be added to the paragraph (b) table to specify the class assignment for a material which meets the definition of Class 8, has an inhalation toxicity by dusts and mists at the Packing Group I level and meets criteria for oral or dermal toxicity. Section 173.21. A reference to the 173.224 self-reective materials table would be revised to reflect proposed changes to tbe table. Section 173.22. Paragraph (aK3)fi) would be revised to indicate that the marking appearing on the bottom of a metal or plastic drum in accordance with $ 178.503 would not be an acceptable means of determining if tbe drum is an authorized packaging. Section 173.24. Paragraph (d) would be revised to specify the conditions under which foreign-manufacturad packaging* may be used. The proposed revision would stipulate the conditions under which foreign-manufactured UN packagings may be filled and used in the U.S. Under this proposal, only packagings from countries affording tbe same degree of acceptance to U.S.manufactured packagings may be used. Current provisions of the regulations authorize their use only for import/ export shipments under 171.11 and 171.12. In addition, paragraph (e)(4)(ii) would be revised to prohibit hazardous materials from being packed or mixed with other harardous or nonhazardous materials in the same outer packaging if such materials are capable of reacting with each other and causing the evolution of "asphyxiant gases." Section 173.25. Paragraph (a) would be amended to refer to the definition of "Overpack" in 171.8. which also would be amended to provide examples of suitable overpacks. Paragraph (b) would be added to authorize shrinkwrapped or stretch-wrapped trays as outer packagings for inner packagings prepared under limited quantity or cansnmer commodity proviskms if the completed package is capable of meeting the Packing Group HI performance level and the grosa weight of the package does not exceed 20 kg. CMA 111125 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 V Monday, July 18. 1994 / Proposed Rules 36495 Section 173.28. Paragraph (b)(4), as revised under the Docket HM-181 final rule, currently requires that metal and plastic single packagings meet certain minimum thicknesses and that the "minimum" thickness he marked on the package. Since issuance of the Docket HM-181 final rule, the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations and the international regulations have adopted a provision that metal drums with a capacity greater than 100 liters must be marked in accordance with tolerances allowed under ISO standard 3574 for each nominal thickness of steel. Unless the below-described proposed changes to 173.28 are adopted, thicknesses and thickness marking requirements that differ between the HMR and international regulations could result in confusion, with drum users and reconditioners unsure whether drums are suitable for reuse or remanufacture. Drum manufacturers in the U.S. might find it necessary to mark both minimum and nominal thicknesses on each drum in order to satisfy DOT and international requirements. Consistent with changes proposed in 178.503(a), RSPA is proposing that metal drums and jerricans which are to be reused be marked with the nominal thickness, in millimeters. The minimum thickness table in paragraph (b)(4) would be revised for metal drums and jerricans to reflect a minimum thickness corresponding to the minimum allowed under ISO standard 3574 for various nominal thicknesses. In developing the minimum thickness proposed for each listed capacity of packaging, the thickness chosen is that most closely corresponding numerically (i.e., without . regard to whether it is thicker or thinner) to the minimum thickness previously required. That is, based on the tolerances allowed under ISO 3574 for each nominal thickness of steel, the minimum thickness corresponding to that nominal thickness was determined and compared to the minimum thickness required under the current provisions for the given capacity of packaging. Each proposed minimum thickness would result in a minimum sheet thickness closely corresponding to that required under the current regulations. However, for packagings with a capacity up to and including 120 liters, the proposed minimum thicknesses would result in slight increases in the required thickness. Drums would continue to be suitable for reuse only if they meet the minimum thickness criteria of the table in paragraph (b)(4). A person reusing a metal drum or jerrican could not rely on the thickness marking appearing on the packaging to satisfy the minimum thickness requirements, since that marking would represent the nominal, rather than the minimum, thickness in accordance with proposed 178.503(a)(9). Because the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations did not address thickness requirements for plastic packagings, RSPA is not proposing any changes to the thickness requirements for plastic packagings. Based on the merits of a petition for rulemaking (P-1133), a new paragraph (b)(7) would be added to waive retesting requirements for certain packagings used in limited operations prior to each reuse. The petitioner states that this proposed change would provide consistency with corresponding provisions in international requirements. According to both the HMR and the UN Recommendations, a packaging must be design-qualification tested before use. However, unlike the HMR, the UN Recommendations do not require a packaging to be leakproof tested before it is reused for transport, but only after it is reconditioned. Packagings that are reused without reconditioning include metal drums that are refilled with the same or similar compatible contents and transported within distribution chains controlled by the consignor of the product. RSPA is proposing similar provisions in new paragraph (b)(7) for certain packagings to be reused without leakproof testing. Packagings would be limited to stainless steel, monel, or nickel drums (or other packagings approved by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety) refilled with the same or similar compatible contents and transported by a private carrier, contract carrier, or common carrier in a transport vehicle or freight container used exclusively for such service, within a distribution chain controlled by the offeror. In order to ensure an appropriate level of safety, when stainless steel, monel, or nickel drums are reused without undergoing leakproof testing, they would be required to meet more stringent thickness standards than prescribed in paragraph (b)(4). Other packagings could qualify only if approved by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. Packagings also would require an inspection prior to each reuse, and any packaging showing evidence of a reduction in integrity would not be authorized for reuse without reconditioning. Section 173.33. Paragraph (c)(5) would be revised to limit the provisions of the paragraph to materials in Packing Groups I and II of Division 6.1. Section 173.S2. In 173.52, the description of Compatibility Group B would be revised to clarify that detonators and similar articles are included within this description even if they do not contain primary explosives. In addition, in the descriptions for Compatibility Groups E and F, the word "gel" would be added to clarify that articles with a propelling charge containing gel may not be classified in Compatibility Group E or F. Section 173.59. In 173.59, the definitions "powder, smokeless," "propellants," and "charges, propelling" would be revised and definitions for "charges, propelling for cannon," "propellent, liquid," and "propellant, solid" would be added. Section 173.60. In 8173.60, paragraph (b)(15) would be added to require all plastic packagings to be static-resistant. Section 173.62. In 173.62, the Explosives Table would be revised to add new descriptions for Class 1 materials. In addition, the packing method for UN0075 and UN0143 would be revised to E-159. The Table of Packing Methods would be editorially revised to change the reference to steel and aluminum boxes from 4A1 or 4A2 and 4Bl or 4B2 to 4A and 4B, respectively. Several packing methods would be revised by authorizing aluminum boxes (4B) as an alternate packaging. For clarity, the entire proposed Explosive Packing Methods Table has been reprinted with the Table of Particular Packaging Requirements and Exceptions following. Paragraph (e) would be revised to update the military packaging exception to allow explosives packaged prior to January 1,1990, to be transported in accordance with the packaging provisions in effect on that date. Section 173.115. The definition of a Division 2.2 gas would be expanded to include asphyxiant and oxidizing gases. Section 173.120. Definitions for Class 3 liquids would be revised to include provisions for evaluating a material's ability to sustain combustion and to measure flame point. A new method of testing for combustibility would be referenced and added as Appendix H to Part 173. Specific exceptions consistent with the UN Recommendations would be added as paragraphs (a)(3), (a)(4), and (a)(5). In addition, references to ASTM standards would be revised to reflect updated versions. Paragraph (b)(2) would be revised to clarify that an elevated temperature material in Class 3 may not be reclassed as a combustible liquid. As explained more fully in a notice of proposed rulemaking and in a final rule issued under Docket HM198A (54 FR 38931; September 21,1989 CMA 111126 36496 - federal Register /. VqI. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July IB, 1994 f Proposed Rules and 56 FR 49981; October 2.19911, when liquid is intentionally heated to a temperature that is equal to or greeter than its flash point, flammable vapors are produced above the liquid. If these flammable vapors are exposed to an ignition source, an explosion or fire could result. Section 173.121. Criteria for including viscous Class 3 materials in Packing Group in would be revised. ISO method ISO 1523-1983 would be referenced for determination of flash point Several modifications to the method would be provided when the temperature of the flash point is too low for the standard procedures. Reference to ISO method 2431-1989 would reflect the latest revision. The table in 173.121(bMl)fiW would be amended for consistency with the eighth revision of the UN Recommendations. Section 173.124. The definition of self-reactive materials would be revised to conform to the changes in the UN Recommendations, which now contains "generic" shipping descriptions. When a new self-reactive material is introduced into commerce, its transportation hazards currently are determined based an standard tests. The competent authority then assigns the new self-reactive material to a generic type baaed an the test results. in the proposed revision to $ 173.124, seven types of self-reactive material (Types A-G) are defined in paragraph (a)(2). The procedure hr assigning a specific self reactive material to a generic type is set forth in paragraph feM2Kvi). If a self-reactive material is identified by technical name in the Salt Reactive Materials Table in $17X22*, the generic type is assignedin that Table. The lengthy process by which importing and exporting countries agree on the packaging requirements or assignment of a shipping description for a new self-reactive material would be avoided by using this procedure: Section 173.128. Editorial changes would be made in paragraphs (a), (c)(2) and (c)(3). and procedures farobtaining approvals would be clarified in revised paragraph (d). Sections 173.136 and 172237. The definition and packing group assignment for Class 8 materials would be aerified. Specific test protocols developed by the Organisation far Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and published in the 1992 OECD Gttidcffine farTeriing of Chemicals, No. 404, "Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion" would be incorporated. A copy of this guidehue may be obtained from the OECD Publications and information Center, 2001L Street, Suite 700, Washington, DC 20036 or by contacting the RSPA Dockets Unit. Section 173.150. Paragraph (a) would be revised to allow Class 3 materials that meet the definition of Class 8 Packing Group m or Division 6.1 Packing Group III, to utilize limited quantity exceptions provided in this section. Paragraph (b) would be expanded to include limited quantity exceptions for combustible liquids to provide relief from specification packaging and placarding requirements for combustible liquids which are also hazardous substances or hazardous wastes. The paragraph (d) provisions for alcoholic beverages would be revised to clarify that an alcoholic beverage containing 24 percent or less alcohol by volume is not subject to the HMR. The maximum quantity pm package of alcoholic beverage excepted from the HMR would be raised from four litres to five liters, and a Packing Group IQ alcoholic beverage in a packaging of 250 L or less would not be subject to the HMR unless transported by air. Section 173252. Hie limited quantity provisions for organic peroxides would be amended by increasing the authorized net capacity per inner packaging for type D, E, or P liquid and solid organic preoxides and Type B or C solid organic peroxides. However, the authorized net capacity for liquid Type B or C organic peroxides would decrease from 30 ml to 25 ml per inner packaging. Section 173.164. Certain exceptions for mercury (metallic and articles containing mercury), would be clarified and a 4H2 solid plastic box would be authorized as an outer packaging, consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions. Section 173.166. This section would be amended to limit its applicability to air beg inflatms and modules showing certain specified results when subjected to a bonfire test. Under this proposed revision, airbag modules and infletors not meeting the test criteria must be transported as explosives. Section 173.168. This section would be added to define a "nonspillable battery", establish separate requirements far noturpifleble batteries (as opposed to the requirements for wet batteries contained in $ 173.159), and provide vibration and pressure differential testing criteria. Except where transporting a wheelchair or other battery-powered mobility aid equipped with a non-spifieble buttery by airas checked baggage, a nonspiliable battery which is protected against abort circuits, securely packaged and durably marked would not be subject to any other HMR requirements. Section 173.171. Paragraph (a) would be revised to clarify that smokeless powder must bo examined and approved as both Division 1.3 and Division 4.1. Section 173.185. RSPA is proposing to amend the requirements for lithium batteries consistent with changes in the UN Recommendations. While the new requirements apply more severe test requirements to lithium batteries, they also will allow batteries with higher quantities of lithium to be transported without being subject to the regulations, provided specified criteria are met. Existing batteries previously allowed to be transported as Class 9 batteries may continue to be transported under the present requirements indefinitely if the present requirements are met. Section 173.189. This new section would be added to establish the packaging and general transport requirements for batteries and cells containing sodium. The packagings and transport conditions proposed reflect those prescribed for these articles in the UN Recommendations, the ICAO Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code. Specific conditions under which batteries containing liquid sodium may be transported are proposed based on the conditions prescribed for the transport of batteries containing liquid sodium under DOT-E10917, Section 173.196. The seventh edition of the UN Recommendations revised a provision for infectious substances packagings to require that either the primary receptacle or the secondary packaging be capable of withstanding the prescribed pressure differential RSPA is-proposing a similar revision to paragraph w to clarify that both the inner and the outer packagings are not required to have this capability. Sections 173.211~213. These sections would be revised to change packaging identification codes (for steel boxes from 4A1 and 4A2 to 4A and for aluminum boxes from 4B1 and 4B2 to 4B) for consistency with international requirements. Section 173.224. This section would be revised based on the UN Recommendations. Paragraph (b) sets forth the Self-Reactive Materials Table which identifies the technical name for specific self reactive materials, the identification number which is used to select the appropriate genericshipptrig description, specifications for concentrations of the self-raective materia), packingmethods that may be used, temperature contra) requirements, and additional special provisions. The existing peddngmetbods forself1entire materials would be replaced with the packing methods fororganic CMA 111127 1 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 1994 / Proposed Rules 36497 peroxides which are prescribed in 173.225. Paragraph (c) sets forth procedures for new self-reactive materials, formulations and samples. New self reactive materials and formulations of currently identified self-reactive materials would have to be approved in accordance with the provisions in I73.124(a)(2)(vi). Paragraph (c)(4) contains provisions for the shipping of samples of new formulations. Paragraph (d) would specify that self-reactive materials of Type F may be transported in bulk only under the approval of the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. Section 173325. In 173.225, paragraph (a) would be revised to prohibit the use of metallic non-bulk packagings meeting a Packing Group I packaging standard. Paragraph (c)(5) would be added to authorize the transportation of mixtures of organic peroxides that are specifically identified in the Organic Peroxides Table without approval by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. In addition, the Organic Peroxide Table would be revised to add new organic peroxides adopted in the UN Recommendations. Section 173.304. In the paragraph (a)(2) table, for the entry "carbon dioxide," an erroneous reference to a DOT-311800 cylinder would be corrected to authorize a DOT-3T1800 cylinder for carbon dioxide. Section 173.306. In paragraph (a)(3)(v), the hot water immersion test for aerosols and small gas receptacles would include a reference temperature of 50 *C (122 *F) in addition to the reference temperature of 55 *C (131 F). A reference temperature of SO *C would be permitted if the liquid phase of the materials contained in the receptacle does not exceed 95 percent of the capacity of the receptacle at 50 "G In addition, provisions would be added for plastic receptacles or contents which are sensitive to heat. Appendix A to Part 173. Appendix A, which provides a method of testing corrosion to skin, would be removed and reserved for consistency with proposed changes to the definition and packing group assignment for Class 8 materials. Appendix E to Part 173. New criteria would be added for self-reactive materials possessing explosive properties, and an editorial change would be made to clarify that powders of metals or metal alloys that can be ignited are classified in Division 4.1. Appendix F to Part 173. In paragraph 1.. an editorial revision would be made to correctly reference Division 5.1. Appendix H to Part 173. A new Appendix H would be added to Part 173 to provide a method of testing for combustibility. This method outlines a procedure for determining if a material can sustain combustion if heated under test conditions and exposed to an external source of flame. Part 175 Section 175.10. The phrase "environmental restoration or protection" would be added as an exception in paragraph (a)(l2) to clarify that certain aircraft operations pertaining to environmental restoration may be conducted under the provisions of this paragraph. Exceptions currently contained in paragraphs (a)(13) and (a)(17) for carbon dioxide (dry ice) would be consolidated into paragraph (a)(l3) to except this material from regulation from Part 175 when it is used as a refrigerant for a package, intended for use in food or beverage service aboard an aircraft, or when used to pack perishables in carry-on baggage. Paragraph (a)(4) would be revised for consistency with the ICAO Technical Instructions which prohibit the carriage of undeclared flammable aerosols in checked or carry-on luggage. The carriage of such aerosols may create an unnecessary risk to ground handlers, passengers, and air crew members. In addition, a new paragraph (a)(26) would be added to except from regulation small medical or clinical mercury thermometers carried by passengers or crew members for personal use. Section 175J33. Paragraph (a)(1) would be revised and a new paragraph (a)(9) would be added to require an aircraft operator, in the written notification to the pilot-in-command, to include a compatibility group letter for a Gass 1 material and an air waybill number where one has been issued. Part 176 Section 176J7, A new paragraph (c) would be added to reference a container packing certificate required under the provisions of the SOLAS Convention. (See discussion under $ 171.12 of this section review for additional information.) Section 176.76. A new paragraph (i) is being proposed for inclusion in $ 176.76 to address the transport of fumigated transport units on vessels. These proposed fumigation requirements would be in addition to the fumigation requirements contained in 173.9. The new vessel requirements are generally consistent with the IMDG Code requirements for transporting fumigated transport units and are consistent with Special Permits currently being issued by the Coast Guard for U.S. maritime transport of fumigated transport units. Contrary to the IMDG Code but consistent with the UN Recommendations, RSPA is not proposing that fumigated units be treated as items of Gass 9. If the proposed requirements for fumigated transport units on vessels are adopted in the final rule, a Special Permit issued by the Coast Guard would no longer be necessary. Part 177 Section 177.841. Paragraph (e)(3) would be revised to specify requirements for separating Division 6.1 Packing Group HI materials from foodstuffs, consistent with provisions in 177.848. Part 17B Section 178J. Paragraph (a) would be revised to clarify that Part 178 requirements for UN standard packagings apply only to packagings manufactured in the U.S. See 173.24(d)(2) for foreign-manufactured packagings. A new paragraph (e) would be added to include definitions for "manufacturer" and "specification markings." These new definitions would specify who is to be identified through a specification marking as the "manufacturer" and would clarify the manufacturer's responsibility under Part 178. Section 178.3. The introductory text in paragraph (a) and the text in subparagraph (a)(2) would be revised editorially for clarity. A new marking provision would be added to paragraph (a)(4) to permit markings of an appropriate, rather than specific, sire for packagings of 5 L (1 gallon) or 5 kg (11 pounds) or less capacity. Paragraph (b) would be revised to clarify the requirements for UN standard packagings marked in accordance with HMR requirements and UN standard packagings marked in accordance with the ICAO Technical Instructions or the IMDG Code. Section 178.502. In paragraph (a) introductory text and paragraph (a)(1), the terms "type" or "types" of packagings would be amended for consistency with international regulations to read "kind" or "kinds" of packagings. Section 178.503. Consistent with the UN Recommendations, RSPA is proposing revisions to certification marking requirements in this section. Each packaging certified to a UN standard is required to have a series of markings which describe the packaging and its characteristics. Paragraph (a) would be revised to require, for CMA111128 'll 36498 Federal Register / Vol. 59, No. 136 / Monday, July 18, 1994 / Proposed Rules packagings having a gross mass greater level greater than that for which the inner packagings to contain liquids. A than 30 kg (66 pounds), that these original design type had been tested and new sentence would be added to the markings appear on the top or side of marked. end of paragraph (g)(2)(vi) to clarify that the packaging. Currently, 5 178.503 Section 178.512. Standards for steel where outer packagings are not requires that metal or plastic drums or boxes and aluminum boxes would be leakproof or siftproof and consequently jerricans intended for reuse be marked consolidated by removing the require some type of leakproof liner, with the minimum thickness of the distinction between unlined/uncoated plastic bag or other means of packaging material. Consistent with the steel or aluminum boxes and steel or containment, sufficient absorbent UN Recommendations, RSPA is aluminum boxes having an inner liner material must be placed inside the liner proposing that metal drums and or coating. Therefore, both unlined and or bag. A new paragraph (k) would be jerricans intended for reuse be marked lined steel boxes would be identified as added to permit several tests to be with the nominal thickness. The 4A and unlined and lined aluminum performed on one sample if the validity nominal thickness marked would be in boxes would be identified as 4B. of test results is not affected and if accordance with ISO 3574; that is, the Corresponding revisions would be approved by the Associate nominal thickness marked could only reflected in the packaging Administrator for Hazardous Materials exceed the actual minimum thickness of the packaging material by the tolerance specified in ISO 3574. Packagings to be reused would still be subject to the minimum thickness requirements of S 173.28. Because the eighth revised edition of the UN Recommendations did not address thickness requirements for plastic packagings, RSPA is proposing that plastic drams and jerricans intended for reuse continue to be marked with the minimum thickness of the packaging material. In addition to the full marking on the top or side of a metal or plastic drum having a capacity greater than 100 liters and intended for reuse or reconditioning as a single packaging or the outer ^eaacckkaajging of a composite packaging, ^mSSPPAA is proposing to require a nanent marking of the drum characteristics on the bottom of the drum. The country authorizing the mark, the name and address of the manufacturer, and the packaging thickness would not be required as part of this permanent mark. This marking would identify the packaging as it was originally manufactured, and could not necessarily be used to determine authorizations of Part 173. Section 178.513. A new paragraph would be added to the standards for natural wood boxes to specify fastening requirements. Section 178.516. In paragraph (b)(1). the reference to ISO Standard 5351976(E) would be updated. Paragraph (b)(2) would be revised to authorize the ends of fiberboard boxes to be constructed of suitable materials other than wood, which is already authorized. Section 178.521. In paragraph (b)(2), the term "water-resistant" would be revised to "waterproof and examples of a waterproof ply or barrier would be provided. Section 178.522. A composite packaging consisting of a plastic receptacle in a protective plastic dram is designated as 6HH in the current HMR standards. The UN Recommendations recently adopted a new composite packaging standard to authorize a plastic receptacle in a protective plastic box. Therefore, in paragraph (b)(3), the previous 6HH composite packaging would be redesignated as 6HH1 and the new composite packaging (the plastic Safety. Newly designated paragraph (1) would be revised to clarify recordkeeping requirements and provide consistency with test report requirements in the UN Recommendations. Section 178.602. In paragraph (c) a reference to " 178.603(d)(2)" would be corrected to read " 178.603(e)". Section 178.603. In paragraph (a), a new provision would be added to require that the drop test be performed using the package orientation most likely to result in failure if more than one orientation is possible. Paragraph (c) would be revised to clarify that the cold drop test outlined in this paragraph applies only to plastic packagings. A proposed revision to paragraph (f)(1) would clarify that inner packagings of combination packagings are not required to be vented to reach equilibrium after the drop test. Section 178.604. For consistency with a change in the UN Recommendations, the length of time to conduct a leakproofness test, other than for production testing, would be specified as five minutes in revised paragraph (d). compliance with packaging receptacle in a protective plastic box) Rulemaking Analyses and Notices requirements. For example, if a non removable head drum had been converted to a removable head dram, this conversion would not be reflected in the marking on the bottom of the drum, but would be evident in the top or side marking. For drams marked would be designated as 6HH2. Section 178.601, Based on the merits of a petition (P-1195), paragraph (b) 1 would be revised to limit the responsibility of shippers to those packaging assembly functions they actually perform or are responsible for A.

No. 136 / Monday, July 18. 1994 / Proposed Rules 36499 Slate, local, and Indian tribe requirements on certain covered subjects. Covered subjects are: (i) the designation, description, and classification of hazardous materials; (ii) the packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and placarding of hazardous materials; (iii) the preparation, execution, and use of Shipping documents pertaining to hazardous materials and requirements respecting the number, content, and placement of such documents; (iv) the written notification, recording, and reporting of the unintentional release in transportation of hazardous materials; or (v) the design, manufacturing, fabrication, marking, maintenance, reconditioning, repairing, or testing of a package or container which is represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in the transportation of hazardous materials. This notice of proposed rulemaking addresses covered subjects under items i, ii. iii and v above and, if adopted as final, would preempt State, local, or Indian tribe requirements not meeting the "substantively the same" standard. The HMTA (49 App. U.S.C. 1804(a)(5), as amended, provides that if DOT issues a regulation concerning any of the covered subjects, after November 16, 1990. DOT must determine and publish in the Federal Register the effective date of Federal preemption. The effective date may hot 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. RSPA has determined that the effective date of Federal preemption for these requirements will be (insert date six months after date of publication). Thus, RSPA lacks discretion in this area, and preparation of a federalism assessment is not warranted. C. Regulatory Flexibility Act This proposed rule would incorporate changes introduced in the seventh and eighth revised editions of the UN Recommendations, the 1993-1994 and 1995-1996 ICAO Technical Instructions, and Amendments 26 and 27 to the IMDG Code. It would apply to offerors and carriers of hazardous materials and would facilitate the transportation of hazardous materials in international commerce by providing consistency with international requirements. U.S. companies, including numerous small entities competing in foreign markets, will be forced to comply with a dual system of regulation, to their economic disadvantage, if the changes proposed in this NPRM are not adopted. The proposed changes are intended to avoid this result. I certify that this proposal will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This certification is subject to modification as a result of a review of comments received in response to this proposal. D. Paperwork Reduction Act The requirements for information collection have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act Of 1980 (Pub. L. 96-511) under OMB control number 2137-0034 for shipping papers and 2137-0557 for approvals. E. 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 ear. The RIN number contained in the eading of this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the Unified Agenda.
