Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 168 / Tuesday, August 30, 2011 / Notices
Furthermore, under the training
requirements in § 172.704(a)(2), each
hazmat employee must be provided
function-specific training concerning
requirements of the HMR, and
exemptions or special permits issued
under subchapter A of Title 49 that are
specifically applicable to the functions
the employee performs.
Non-compliance with SP package
requirements has serious safety
consequences. PHMSA seeks to
encourage compliance by aggressively
enforcing SP safety standards and
increasing its awareness and outreach
efforts.
Accordingly, PHMSA is publishing
this safety notice to further promote
awareness of the ongoing safety concern
and ensure that industry is aware of its
responsibilities associated with the
offering and transportation of hazardous
materials in SP packaging, the current
regulatory requirements applicable to
such transportation, and that regulatory
violations will be prosecuted to the
maximum extent permitted under the
law.
Persons who violate the HMR may be
subject to significant civil penalties and/
or criminal fines and imprisonment.
Maximum civil penalties may be
imposed of up to $55,000 per violation
or $110,000 per violation if a death,
serious illness, or severe injury occurs
to a person or substantial destruction of
property. Potential criminal penalties
include fines of up to $500,000 and/or
ten years in jail.
More detailed information on the
requirements in the HMR governing the
offering and transportation of SP
packages is available on DOT’s Hazmat
Safety Web site: https://
www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat. The HMR
are also accessible through PHMSA’s
Web site, and answers to specific
questions may be obtained from the
Hazardous Materials Information Center
at 1–800–467–4922 (in Washington, DC,
call 202–366–4488).

PHMSA recommends that industry
institute quality control measures to
identify and properly handle DOT SP
packages and packages containing
hazardous materials in general:
(1) Shippers and carriers should stress
the importance of recognizing an SP
package to their employees. The
importance of recognizing an SP
package should be given the same level
of attention as when they determine
whether a packaging specification meets
a UN standard or DOT specification.
This is especially important to those
operations that re-ship packages.
VerDate Mar<15>2010
(2) Once a person has identified a
DOT SP package, that person should
obtain a current copy of the SP and
review it for applicable requirements.
Copies of SPs may be obtained from
PHMSA’s Web site at: https://
phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs/sp-a/
special-permits. The person should also
review the HMR requirements
applicable to SP packages.
(3) Shippers and carriers should
evaluate hazardous materials training
programs and communication protocols
in their operations with respect to
recognizing and handling SP packages
to ensure that the subject is discussed
and included during knowledge testing.
Any person performing a function
required by an SP or shipping an SP
package is required to receive ‘‘functionspecific’’ training of the requirements
contained in each special permit.
(4) Third-party hazardous materials or
dangerous goods instructors,
consultants, and others, should review
their training programs to ensure that
the subject of SP packages is discussed
and included during knowledge testing.
(5) Shippers should implement or
review existing pre-shipment
procedures to ensure that a particular
packaging is prepared as authorized by
an SP and/or the HMR and that all
communication requirements have been
met.
These recommendations are not
exclusive; we hope that industry
representatives will use the information
provided herein, together with any other
available information, to consider other
reasonable measures they believe
appropriate to increase awareness of
DOT SPs and their responsibility in the
handling and transporting such
packages.
