consolidating the requirements
applicable to the use of the International
Civil Aviation Organization’s Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air, the
International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code, the Canadian Transport of
Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the
International Atomic Energy Agency
Safety Standards Series: Regulations for
the Safe Transport of Radioactive
Material. This rule corrects errors in the
final rule.

Background
On May 3, 2007, the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA, we) published
a final rule under Docket No. PHMSA–
2005–23141 (HM–215F) to amend the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;
PO 00000
Frm 00080
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
49 CFR Parts 171–180) by revising and
consolidating the requirements
applicable to the use of the International
Civil Aviation Organization’s Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air, the
International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code, the Canadian Transport of
Dangerous Goods Regulations, and the
International Atomic Energy Agency
Safety Standards Series: Regulations for
the Safe Transport of Radioactive
Material. The final rule is effective as of
October 1, 2007.
The Dangerous Goods Advisory
Council (DGAC), an organization of
industry stakeholders, filed an appeal to
the May 3 final rule on June 4, 2007. We
are addressing most elements of DGAC’s
appeal in a separate response, which
will be included in the docket for this
rulemaking. In the meantime, we are
issuing this correction to address certain
errors that DGAC identified in the text
of the May 3 final rule.
Correction
The May 5 final rule added a new
§ 171.22, which provides authorization
and conditions for the use of
international standards and regulations
for the commercial transportation of
hazardous materials to, from, or within
the United States. Paragraph (g) of this
section requires shipments to conform
to applicable HMR requirements,
including the general packaging
requirements in §§ 173.24 and 173.24a
and the reuse, reconditioning, and
remanufacture requirements in § 173.28.
The notice of proposed rulemaking
issued under this docket on January 27,
2006 (71 FR 4544) proposed to apply
these requirements ‘‘for export
shipments’’. The phrase ‘‘for export
shipments’’ was inadvertently dropped
from the May 3 final rule. It was not our
intention to require compliance with
§§ 173.24, 173.24a, or 173.28 for import
shipments. Therefore, in this final rule,
we are reinserting the phrase ‘‘for export
shipments’’ in paragraphs (g)(5) and
(g)(6) of § 173.22.
The DGAC appeal also identifies a
typographical error in § 171.12(a)(2).
Use of the term ‘‘subpart’’ in
§ 171.12(a)(2) is incorrect. This
paragraph should read: ‘‘When the
provisions of this subchapter require a
DOT specification or UN standard
packaging to be used for transporting a
hazardous material, a packaging
authorized by the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations may be used, subject
to the limitations of this part, and only
if it is equivalent to the corresponding
DOT specification or UN packaging (see
§ 173.24(d)(2) of this subchapter)
authorized by this subchapter.’’ We are
