SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July
31, 2007, The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax
and Trade Bureau (TTB) published
Notice No. 73, Labeling and Advertising
of Wines, Distilled Spirits, and Malt
Beverages, in the Federal Register (72
FR 41860). In that notice of proposed
rulemaking, TTB requests public
comment on possible changes to the
labeling and advertising requirements of
alcohol beverage products regulated by
TTB. When published, the comment
period for TTB Notice No. 73 was
scheduled to close on October 29, 2007.
After the publication of Notice No. 73,
TTB received a request from Wine
America, a national association of
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
American wineries to extend the
comment period for an additional 90
days beyond the October 29, 2007
closing date. In support of their
extension request, Wine America
indicates that the wine industry is now
entering the grape harvest season, which
is its busiest time of the year. They
further note that because of this, wine
industry members would not have
adequate time to address the rulemaking
comment request in a comprehensive
manner.
In response to this request, TTB
extends the comment period for Notice
No. 73 for an additional 90 days.
Therefore, comments on Notice No. 73
are now due on or before January 27,
2008.

AGENCY:
SUMMARY: PHMSA is proposing to
amend the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR) to permit certain
fuel cell cartridges and fuel cell systems
designed for portable electronic devices
to be transported by passengers and
crew in carry-on baggage on board
passenger-carrying aircraft. The
proposed rule would cover fuel cells
containing certain hazardous materials
(flammable liquids, including methanol;
formic acid; certain borohydride
materials; or butane) and meeting
certain performance and consumer use
standards, which we are proposing to
incorporate by reference into the HMR.
We have evaluated the possible
transportation safety risks presented by
these fuel cell cartridges and systems
and have determined they may safely be
transported in the cabin of a passengercarrying aircraft.
DATES: Written comments should be
submitted on or before November 19,
2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Fuel cell cartridges and fuel cell
systems are an emerging energy
technology developed to provide a more
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
efficient, longer-lasting, and renewable
power source for electrically operated
equipment. Fuel cells are designed to
replace, augment, or recharge existing
battery sources. Various types of fuels
may be used in fuel cell systems,
including but not limited to gases
meeting the criteria for classification as
Division 2.1 (flammable gases), solids
meeting the criteria for classification as
Division 4.3 (dangerous when wet), and
liquids meeting the criteria for
classification as Class 3 (flammable) or
Class 8 (corrosive) material. Specific
materials used in fuel cells include
methanol and other types of flammable
liquids, butane, hydrogen in metal
hydride, borohydrides, and formic acid.
II. Current HMR Requirements
Applicable to the Transportation of
Fuel Cells
Under the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–
180), fuel cells generally must be
transported in accordance with
requirements applicable to the material
they contain. Thus, a fuel cell
containing a corrosive material must
conform to the packaging and hazard
communication requirements applicable
to that corrosive material when offered
for transportation. After careful
evaluation of possible transportation
safety risks, PHMSA adopted packaging,
testing, and hazard communication
requirements for transporting fuel cell
systems and fuel cell cartridges
containing flammable liquids, including
methanol or methanol and water
solutions, as cargo by all modes (final
rule published December 29, 2006; 71
FR 7896). The HMR requirements are
consistent with international
transportation standards applicable to
the transportation of fuel cell cartridges
and systems containing flammable
liquids in the 14th Revised Edition of
the UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN
Recommendations).
III. International Standards Applicable
to the Transportation of Fuel Cells
The International Civil Aviation
Organization (ICAO) adopted provisions
for transporting fuel cell systems and
fuel cell cartridges containing
flammable liquid as cargo on board
aircraft in the 2007–2008 edition of the
ICAO Technical Instructions for the Safe
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air
(ICAO Technical Instructions). These
provisions are consistent with those for
fuel cell systems and cartridges in the
UN Recommendations. At that time,
ICAO also adopted under Section 8;
1.1.2(r) provisions for transporting fuel
cell systems and cartridges containing
