ACTION: Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM)
AGENCY:
As required by the Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP–21), the Pipeline and
Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration is proposing to amend
the Hazardous Materials Regulations to
adopt provisions contained in certain
widely-used or long-standing special
permits that have an established safety
record. The proposed revisions are
intended to provide wider access to the
regulatory flexibility offered in special
permits and eliminate the need for
numerous renewal requests, thus
reducing paperwork burdens and
facilitating commerce while maintaining
an appropriate level of safety. PHMSA
conducted an extensive analysis of all
active special permits and, in this
rulemaking, those special permits
deemed suitable are being proposed for
adoption. PHMSA is inviting all
interested persons to provide comments
on both those special permits deemed
suitable and proposed to be adopted
into the HMR and those that are deemed
not suitable for adoption. In addition,
PHMSA is also requesting comments on
a proposed requirement for special
permit applicants to include regulatory
text in their applications, when
appropriate.

I. Executive Summary
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA) is
proposing to amend the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171–180) by adopting
requirements contained in 98 existing
special permits (SP). This proposal is
based on our review of all active SPs as
of January 1, 2013, in which we
identified 98 SPs containing
requirements which appear suitable for
adoption into the HMR as regulations of
general applicability. Other SPs are not
being proposed for adoption into the
HMR because we concluded they
contain requirements which (1) would
not have, or are being applied in a
manner which would not have, broad
applicability; or (2) have already been
adopted into the HMR, are covered by
authorizations in the HMR, or are being
addressed in other rulemakings.
We encourage all interested parties,
particularly the holders of currently
active SPs, to submit comments
regarding the SPs we are proposing to
adopt into the HMR, the SPs we are not
presently proposing to adopt into the
HMR, and our preliminary regulatory
impact analysis.

II. Background
PHMSA is proposing to amend the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;
49 CFR parts 171–180) to adopt certain
requirements based on existing SPs
issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part
107, subpart B (§§ 107.101 to 107.127).
SPs set forth alternative requirements—
or a variance—to the requirements in
the HMR in a way that achieves a safety
level at least equal to the safety level
required under the regulations, or when
the regulations do not establish a safety
level, that is consistent with the public
interest. Congress expressly authorized
the Secretary of Transportation to issue
these variances in the Hazardous
Materials Transportation Act of 1975 (49
U.S.C. 5109) as amended.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
On July 6, 2013 President Obama
signed legislation entitled Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century
Act (MAP–21). Section 33012 of this
legislation required PHMSA to review
and analyze SPs that have been in
continuous effect for a 10-year period to
determine which ones may be converted
into the HMR.1 The legislation also
required PHMSA to issue regulations to
adopt any SPs identified as appropriate
for adoption in a final rule by October
1, 2015. The legislation provides the
following factors to consider during
review and analysis to determine
suitability for adoption into the HMR:
(1) The safety record of the hazardous
materials (hazmat) transported under
the SP;
(2) The application of a SP;
(3) The suitability of the provisions in
the SP for incorporation into the hazmat
regulations; and
(4) Rulemaking activity in related
areas.
Prior to the passing of the MAP–21
legislation, PHMSA had completed
numerous rulemaking actions, through
an established and refined approach, to
convert long-standing SPs with an
established safety record into the HMR.
Following the passage of the MAP–21
legislation, PHMSA modified its
approach to align with the requirements
of this legislation. Specifically, PHMSA
established terms of reference and
baseline criteria for the review of longstanding SPs, created tracking tools to
monitor progress, and adopted a
methodology and timeline to evaluate
SPs.
This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking
(NPRM) provides an overview of the SP
Program to date, a detailed review of the
requirements of MAP–21 with regard to
this initiative, and a comprehensive
explanation of the rationale used to
evaluate these SPs both prior to and
after the implementation of MAP–21.
Furthermore, based on this rationale,
this NPRM details the SPs that are
deemed not suitable for adoption into
the HMR along with the corresponding
reasoning, and proposes the adoption
into the HMR of SPs that have been
deemed suitable through this review.
The proposals from all the SPs to be
adopted have broad applicability, fit
into the scope of the HMR, will increase
flexibility in transportation, and provide
an equivalent level of safety to the
current regulations. PHMSA is inviting
comments from all interested parties,
particularly SP holders, on both those
SPs deemed suitable and proposed to be
adopted and those that are deemed not
suitable for adoption.
III. Overview
A. SPs Program
PHMSA’s Approvals and Permits
Division 2 is responsible for the issuance
of DOT SPs and Approvals. A SP sets
forth alternative requirements, or
variances, to the requirements in the
HMR. Federal hazardous materials
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101–
5128) authorizes PHMSA to issue such
variances in a way that achieves a safety
level that is at least equal to the safety
level required under Federal hazmat law
or is consistent with the public interest
if a required safety level does not exist.
SPs also address unique or infrequent
transportation situations that would be
difficult to accommodate in regulations
intended for use by a wide range of
shippers and carriers.
SPs are issued by PHMSA under 49
CFR part 107, subpart B (§§ 107.101 to
107.127). The HMR are generally
performance-oriented regulations, and
as such, provide the regulated
community with some flexibility in
meeting safety requirements. Even so,
not every transportation situation can be
anticipated and covered under the
regulations. The hazardous materials
community is at the cutting edge of
developing new materials, new
technologies, and innovative ways of
moving hazardous materials. Innovation
strengthens our economy, and some
new technologies and operational
techniques may enhance safety. Thus,
while not compromising safety, SPs
provide a mechanism for testing new
technologies, promoting increased
transportation efficiency and
productivity, and ensuring global
competitiveness. In addition, SPs enable
the hazardous materials industry to
safely, quickly, and effectively integrate
new products and technologies into
production and the transportation
stream.
PHMSA conducts ongoing reviews of
SPs to identify widely-used and longstanding SPs with established safety
records for conversion into regulations
of broader applicability. Converting
these SPs into regulations reduces
paperwork burdens for the government
and applicants and facilitates commerce
while maintaining safety. Additionally,
adoption of SPs as rules of general
applicability provides wider access to
the benefits and regulatory flexibility of
the provisions granted in the SPs.
Factors that influence whether or not a
specific SP is a candidate for regulatory
action include: the safety record for
hazardous materials transported or
operations conducted under a SP;
potential for broad application of a SP;
suitability of the provisions in the SP for
adoption into the HMR; rulemaking
activity in related areas; and agency
priorities.
Since the inception of the SP
program, PHMSA has periodically
reviewed SPs and under various
rulemaking actions certain widely-used
or long-standing SPs that have an
established safety record have been
adopted or recently proposed for
incorporation into the HMR. For
example, PHMSA has adopted or
proposed 94 SPs into the HMR since
2008. These 94 SPs represent a decrease
of 13,947 holders of SPs. These
rulemakings are noted in Table 1.

Amended the HMR to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record.
Amended the HMR to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or long-standing cargo tank SPs that
are granted to multiple parties and have established
safety records.
Amended the HMR to adopt SPs which authorized an alternative tank car qualification program, acceptance of
shipping paper information by voice or electronic data
interchange, provide alternative rail car segregation requirements for explosives, alternative tank car design
requirements, and alternative unloading provisions for
coupled tank cars.
Amended the HMR applicable to airbag inflators, airbag
modules and seat-belt pretensioners by authorizing an
alternative review and verification process for these devices, and eliminating the current requirements to have
hundreds of these devices approved by PHMSA prior
to shipment.
Amended the HMR by adopting SPs to authorize the
transportation by motor vehicle of certain regulated
medical wastes, designated as sharps, in non-DOT
specification containers fitted into wheeled racks.
Amended the HMR to no longer require re-application for
a SP to place the Dangerous Cargo Manifest in locations designated by the master of the vessel besides
‘‘on or near the bridge’’ while the vessel is docked in a
United States port while cargo unloading, loading, or
handling operations are underway and the bridge is
unmanned.
Amended the HMR to adopt provisions contained in several SPs that provide greater regulatory flexibility. The
SPs in this action addressed a variety of alternative
provisions, including alternative packaging authorizations for specific hazardous materials (HM), and would
eliminate approval requirements for variances in the
manufacture of fiberboard packagings.
Proposes to amend the HMR by establishing standards

the Secretary shall either institute a
rulemaking to incorporate the special
permit into the hazardous materials
regulations or publish in the Federal
Register the Secretary’s justification for
why the special permit is not
appropriate for incorporation into the
regulations.’’
This modification required PHMSA to
review and analyze SPs that have been
in effect for 10 years or more and
determine which should be converted
into regulations; set parameters for the
review; and issue regulations to adopt
any SPs identified as appropriate for
adoption in a final rule by October 1,
2015. Following the publication of the
final rule, this process would be
completed annually to ensure
appropriate SPs are converted into the
HMR on a consistent basis.
The legislation also required PHMSA
to address other issues related to the SP
5343
and approvals regulations and program
processes. Specifically, PHMSA is
required to issue regulations on
standard operating procedures to
support administration of the SP and
approval programs. This requirement is
being addressed under Docket PHMSA
2012–0260 (HM–233E) in a Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM)
published on August 12, 2014 [79 FR
47047].

Description of action
Phase 1: Development
of Methodology.
The SPCP Management team developed a methodology to consistently
evaluate SPs, a system to track this analysis, sub-teams and subtopic areas used to group similar SPs to be reviewed by the appropriate subject matter experts, and timelines and milestones.
An initial review of all SPs was conducted. SPs were divided by topics
and sub-topics and each transportation regulations specialist was assigned a grouping. These specialists reviewed each permit and made
a determination as to an SP’s suitability for adoption into the HMR
based on guidance provided by the SPCP Management team.
The members of the SPCP Management were assigned topics and conducted a second review of the SPs deemed either not suitable or
flagged for further review.
PHMSA then established rulemaking teams for each topic composed of
a team leader, mentor, and team members from each PHMSA Division and our modal partners. These teams then conducted a second
review of those SPs deemed suitable and those flagged for follow-up.
For SPs deemed suitable, the team drafted regulatory text along with
preamble language justifying inclusion into the HMR. The finalized
draft of each topic was then submitted to the SPCP Management
team for final review.
Following review by the SPCP Management team, the topic rulemakings
were then combined into a master draft along with additional preamble
language, regulatory analysis, and information collection activities.
The master draft created was then vetted throughout the agency and
with our modal partners. In addition, the rulemaking was coordinated
with the Office of the Secretary of Transportation and the Office of
Management and Budget.
Following concurrence from all entities, PHMSA submitted this rulemaking to the Federal Register for publication.

Phase 1: Development of Methodology
As stated above, prior to the
publication of MAP–21, PHMSA
conducted reviews of SPs to identify
widely-used and long-standing SPs with
an established safety record for
conversion into the HMR for broader
applicability. The SPs suitable for
adoption were predominantly identified
by two methods: petitions for
rulemaking submitted in accordance
with § 106.105; and through a review of
the SP application by the Approvals and
Permits Division staff at the time of
application. Specifically, during the
evaluation of a SP application, the
specialist reviewing the application
could ‘‘tag’’ a SP as a future candidate
for adoption into the regulations. At a
later date after a positive safety record
had been established, the SP would be
proposed for adoption in a future
rulemaking. This method to adopt SPs,
however, was not conducted on a
defined and predictable schedule.
After President Obama signed the
MAP–21 legislation, PHMSA modified
its SP conversion practices and
developed an overall strategy to
specifically address the aspects of the
requirements of MAP–21 that were not
reflected in current procedures. In an
effort to address the specific
requirements for SP conversion,
PHMSA’s Standards and Rulemaking
Division created a SPCP management
team. This SPCP management team
developed a methodology to
consistently evaluate SPs, a system to
track the analysis, created rulemaking
sub-teams, topics and sub-topic areas to
combine similar SPs to be reviewed by
the appropriate subject matter experts
(SME) and teams, and established
timelines and milestones.

As MAP–21 included specific
deadlines for the various aspects of the
SPCP, PHMSA created an overall project
timeline. This timeline was established
by utilizing the Standards and
Rulemaking Division’s knowledge of the
current rulemaking process and working
backwards from the deadlines required
by MAP–21. The timeline was divided
into two main parts; analysis (Phases 1–
4) and rulemaking drafting and
coordination (Phases 5–8). Each of these
portions of the timeline included
specific deliverables.
Each SP being analyzed was assigned
to one of 6 topic areas. These topic areas
were established to reflect the main
utility and purpose of the SP. These
topic areas of the SPs, an overview of
each topic area, and the affected number
of SP holders are displayed in Table 4.

These topic areas were then used to
develop teams to address each grouping
of SPs. Each topic area was further
broken down into sub-topic areas which
reflected the specific area of
transportation that the SP affected.
These sub-topic areas included
manufacturing, retest, and use. Breaking
down the SPs into topics and sub-topics
ensured that the appropriate SMEs
would be reviewing SPs and allowed for
more efficient delegation of the
workload.
As mentioned above, teams were
established based on topic areas to
handle Phase 3 (Team Analysis) and
Phase 4 (Drafting) of the SPCP. Teams
were comprised of the appropriate
SMEs from the Standards and
Rulemaking Division, the Engineering
and Research Division, the Approvals
and Permits Division, Field Operations,
the Program Development Division, the
Office of Chief Counsel and our modal
partners, the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), the United States
Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal
Railroad Administration (FRA) and the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA). In addition,
each team was assigned a team lead and
a team mentor from the SPCP
Management team. The teams met on a
frequent basis throughout Phase 3 and
Phase 4 to discuss progress on their
assignments and to pinpoint and resolve
issues with the SP conversion.
Throughout every phase of the SPCP,
the status of all currently active SPs was
tracked in a database designed
specifically for this project. This
database detailed the specialist and
team assigned to the review of the SP,
the current status of the SP and the

code 5 it was assigned following
completion of the review. This database
also tracked the completion of the
drafting of regulatory text for any given
SP and provided a brief summary of the
SP. In addition, the SPCP Management
team closely monitored timelines and
milestones in a database specifically
tailored to the SPCP.
Phase 2: Preliminary Analysis
MAP–21 specifically mandated
PHMSA issue regulations to adopt into
the HMR any SPs that had been in
continuous effect for a 10-year period
and that PHMSA determined through its
analysis are appropriate for adoption
based on the review factors. While
MAP–21 limited this analysis and
review to SPs with a lifespan of greater
than 10 years, PHMSA decided that an
initial review of all active SPs would
provide a greater benefit. A complete
review of all SPs was conducted
because many of the SPs are
interconnected and interrelated. For
example, some SPs are very similar with
only minor differences between them
and the inclusion of one SP may justify
the inclusion of other similar SPs. In
addition, PHMSA did not want to
automatically disqualify a SP from
consideration just because the SP was
not in effect for 10 years. A SP may be
extensively used and have an
established history of safe use even if it
is less than 10 years old. As MAP–21
also requires the periodic review of SPs
over 10 years of age, PHMSA
rationalized that a larger initial review
would considerably streamline and
5 Each SP was assigned a code that represented
a rationale for the SP being suitable or not suitable
for adoption into the HMR. These codes were based
on PHMSA’s factors for suitability combined with
the rationales provided in MAP–21.

limit the number of SPs to be evaluated
in future reviews.
In January 2013, PHMSA began a
systematic review of 1,168 existing SPs
utilizing the criteria required by the
MAP–21 legislation to determine
suitability for adoption into the HMR.
Transportation Regulations Specialists
within the Standards and Rulemaking
Division were assigned groupings of
SPs. Each specialist was given
instructions on how to uniformly and
consistently review a SP. For the groups
of SPs assigned, each specialist was
instructed to:
• Provide a brief summary of each SP;
• Identify the key/other regulatory
sections of the HMR affected;
• Make a determination on the
suitability for adoption (Guidance was
provided on assigning each SP a code
relating to its suitability. These codes
are discussed in further detail later in
this document);
• Assign the SP to a topic area;
• Provide rationale for their findings;
and
• Account for any recordkeeping
issue that they faced.
Specialists then reviewed the SPs
and, based on the guidance developed
by the SPCP management team, they
made a determination of which code the
SP would be assigned (See Table 5). If
specialists had doubts or concerns about
any particular SP, they would assign a
proposed code and flag the SP in the
tracking database for second level
mentor review in Phase 3.
In April 2013, the preliminary
analysis was completed with roughly
300 SPs deemed suitable for adoption.
In addition, approximately 185 SPs
were flagged for second level review by
the SPCP management team in Phase 3.

Phase 3: Mentor Review: Review of SPs
Flagged and Not Suitable
From April through May 2013, the
rulemaking mentors for each topic team
conducted a second review of all SPs
deemed not suitable for adopting into
the HMR (roughly 690 SPs) and those
tagged for further review in the Phase 2
review (185 SPs). Specifically, the
mentors divided the SPs in need of
further review among themselves,
evaluated each permit against the
requirements of MAP–21, and made a
determination on the SP when possible.
If the mentors were unable to make a
determination, the SP remained flagged
and the SP topic team would make a
group determination in Phase 4.
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Phase 4: Team Analysis
PHMSA then utilized six rulemaking
teams, one for each topic area. As
previously stated, each team was
composed of a team leader, mentor, and
team members from each PHMSA
Division and our modal partners (FAA,
USCG, FRA and FMCSA). Team leaders
were tasked with the overall completion
of the topic and the distribution of work
assignments. Mentors were charged
with reviewing the teams’ data, and
providing edits to ensure the 6 topics
were cohesive and would form a
complete and understandable NPRM.
The team leaders and mentors of each
topic area were members of the
Standards and Rulemaking Division.
Each topic area was handled as if it
were its own rulemaking project.
While each team leader approached
the team analysis phase in their own
manner, the team members were
utilized consistently throughout the
SPCP, regardless of project. For
example, modal partners focused on
aspects of proposed SPs specific to their
mode of transportation or aspects of SPs
that could have wider implications in
their mode. Team members from the
Standards and Rulemaking Division
primarily drafted the regulatory text and
rulemaking preamble language. The
Engineering and Research Division
focused primarily on the technical
aspects of each SP, the evaluation and
development of regulatory text, and the
technical implications of the
introduction of new technologies that a
SP may provide. The Approvals and
Permits Division focused primarily on
the history of each SP, the evaluation
and development of regulatory text and
the suitability determinations of the
SPs. PHMSA Field Operations provided
a review of enforcement actions of the
SPs that were deemed suitable and
assisted in the incident data research of
each SP. The Program Development
VerDate Sep<11>2014
23:49 Jan 29, 2015
Jkt 235001
Division assisted in the review of the
incident data research of the SPs and
the evaluation of the cost and benefit
data for the SPs that were deemed
suitable. Finally, the Office of Chief
Counsel primarily dealt with the editing
of regulatory text and rulemaking
preamble language as well as providing
assistance in completing the regulatory
analysis.
Each topic team tracked its status in
a database, specifically noting when
regulatory text was completed. The
teams also used this database to record
information to be included in the
preamble explanations for each SP. For
the SPCP, all draft regulatory text was
completed in September 2013, at which
point the team mentors provided edits
and worked with each team to formulate
a final version of each topic. In addition,
each team provided a completed
document containing lists of all suitable
SPs, all non-suitable SPs, and the
assigned codes to explain why the nonsuitable SPs would not be included.
Phase 5–8: Rulemaking: Drafting,
Consolidation, Coordination, and
Publication
As the final phase, PHMSA
consolidated its analyses and
conclusions, evaluated compliance with
statutory requirements and
governmental policies and procedures
applicable to the regulatory process, and
prepared this NPRM to address each
topic area. These requirements include
Executive Orders, Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Bulletins, DOT
orders and procedures, the
Administrative Procedures Act, and
others. PHMSA uses a common process
to identify, develop, track, prioritize,
and implement regulatory changes in
line with applicable DOT and Federal
government policies and procedures.
The Standards and Rulemaking Division
has a Standard Operating Procedure
(SOP) in place which is intended to
outline and serve as a reference for
persons engaged in the regulatory
process and to ensure that all applicable
requirements are met. This rulemaking
was completed, as with all rulemakings,
using this SOP.
For this rulemaking, due to the
comprehensive nature of the project, it
was broken down into topics with teams
assigned to each topic. Each topic area
was then handled as if it were its own
rulemaking project. While Phases 1–4
represented the analysis portion of this
project, Phases 5–8 encompassed the
rulemaking portion. Following the
completion of the team analysis in
Phase 4, team mentors edited and
compiled the topics into one master
document.

Future Reviews
As required by MAP–21, PHMSA
plans to conduct annual reviews of SPs
which have been in effect for more than
10 years. These reviews and analysis of
SPs will use the same methodology and
tools as those used in this rulemaking.
PHMSA anticipates future analysis and
review will be streamlined due to the
reduced number of SPs to be evaluated
and the experience gained through this
evaluation.
In addition, PHMSA is considering
modifications to the manner in which it
writes new SPs in order to more
accurately reflect how the HMR is
written. In this NPRM, PHMSA is
requesting comments as it considers a
future proposal to require an applicant
to provide potential regulatory text
when submitting an application for a SP
in order to facilitate adoption of SPs
into the HMR.
D. Petitions for Rulemaking
PHMSA also considered several
petitions for rulemaking submitted in
accordance with § 106.105 that may
impact SPs reviewed in this rulemaking.
These petitions are discussed below.
P–1607
The Council on the Safe
Transportation of Hazardous Articles
(COSTHA) submitted a petition for
rulemaking under P–1607 to adopt the
provisions of DOT SP–11458 that
authorizes display packs of consumer
commodity packages that exceed the 30
kg gross weight limitation. This petition
has been accepted by PHMSA and is
being proposed in this rulemaking. See
the discussions in §§ 171.8 and 173.56
under the ‘‘Operational Highway/Rail/
Shipper/Other’’ heading of this
rulemaking.
P–1608
The Truck Trailer Manufacturers
Association (TTMA) submitted a
petition for rulemaking under P–1608 to
adopt the provisions of DOT SP–11903
into the HMR. This petition requests
that PHMSA propose to adopt standards
for the construction and use of Fiber
Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Cargo Tanks.
Currently, these tanks are constructed
under DOT–SP 11903 and used under
party status in DOT SP–9166. In
addition to DOT SP–11903 and DOT
SP–9166, there are other SPs that
address these standards. PHMSA is not
proposing to adopt these SPs at this
time as there is not a uniform standard
for FRP Cargo Tanks ready for adoption.
However, PHMSA is working to develop
a uniform standard for FRP cargo tanks
and will address this issue in a future
rulemaking.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
P–1610
COSTHA submitted a petition for
rulemaking under P–1610 to adopt the
provisions of DOT–SP 11110 into the
HMR. This SP authorizes cargo aircraft
operators to load division 1.4S and
Class 8, PG III materials in inaccessible
cargo locations in excess of the
limitations specified in § 175.75(c). This
petition has been accepted by PHMSA
for consideration in a future rulemaking.
However, at this time PHMSA is not
proposing to adopt this SP because of
concern that more time is needed to
research the potential impact of changes
to § 175.75 and to coordinate this review
with the appropriate parties, including
our modal partners.
P–1611
COSTHA submitted a petition for
rulemaking under P–1611 to adopt the
provisions of DOT–SP 11470 into the
HMR. This SP authorizes the
transportation in commerce of shrinkwrapped pallets containing boxes of
waste ORM–D materials with the word
‘‘WASTE’’ marked on the outside of the
pallet instead of the individual box.
This petition has been accepted by
PHMSA and is being proposed in this
rulemaking. See the discussion in
§ 173.12 under the ‘‘Operational
Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other’’ heading
of this rulemaking.
E. SP Evaluation Results
PHMSA is committed to the SP
adoption process established by
Congress in MAP–21. To ensure that the
changes made under this action are as
efficient and effective as possible,
PHMSA solicits input from its
stakeholders. We have used several
tables throughout this rulemaking to
clearly identify SPs that are suitable for
adoption and those that have been
deemed not suitable. As required by
MAP–21 the initial review and analysis
of SPs considered the following factors:
• The safety record of hazardous
materials transported under the SP;
• The application of a SP;
• The suitability of provisions in the
SP for adoption into the HMR; and
• Rulemaking activity in related
areas.
Based on these factors, the SPCP team
developed and assigned codes to each
SP being reviewed. These codes
represent the rationale for adopting or
not adopting a SP into the regulations.
Table 5 explains each code.

SPs not suitable because of the manner in which applied. Because the
purpose of the MAP–21 directive was to reduce need for SPs where
widely-used, many of these SPs were not considered suitable for
adoption because of their application; i.e., they were not widely-used,
were too technical in nature, or were too specific to a SP holder.
This Code was applied to both single and multiple holders of SPs.
SPs not suitable for adoption because of the lack of broad applicability.
Similar to Code 2, many of these SPs were not considered suitable
for adoption because of the specificity of the SP. The terms of these
SPs often included an inability to provide the same exception in a
broad manner applicable to certain geographical locations or safety
controls. This Code was also applied to both single and multiple
holders of SPs.
SPs being addressed in other rulemakings.

Evaluation Summary
After completion of the evaluation
segment of the SPCP, PHMSA identified
98 currently-active SPs that were
suitable to be proposed for adoption in
this rulemaking action. The SPCP
evaluated 1,168 permits that
SPs already adopted or authorizations already specified in the current
HMR. For example, these SPs will be terminated as they are no
longer necessary since the provisions contained within have already
been adopted or have been covered under current regulations.
represented 3,691 holders of SPs that
were active on January 1, 2013. The
adoption of these 98 SPs would impact
728 SP holders, as shown in Table 6. If
the SPs proposed for adoption into the
HMR in this rulemaking were to be
adopted in a final rule, there would be
an approximate 8% reduction in the
number of SPs and approximate 20%
reduction in the number of holders of
SPs. PHMSA anticipates the final
number of SPs adopted in the final rule
may vary from this original number
based on input from public comments
received in response to this rulemaking
and ongoing SP activity.

After this initial review of all SPs,
PHMSA plans to annually review SPs
that have been in effect for more than
10 years. PHMSA’s ongoing review and
analysis of SPs will use the same
methodology and tools as in this
rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future
analysis and review will be streamlined
due to the reduced number of SPs to be
evaluated and the experience gained
through this evaluation.
Suitable for Adoption
The analysis phase of the SPCP
identified 98 SPs (728 holders of SPs)
that were deemed suitable for adoption.

Special Provisions
Section 172.102 lists special
provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous
materials. Special provisions contain
packaging requirements, prohibitions,
and exceptions applicable to particular
quantities or forms of hazardous
materials. Non-bulk packagings must be
marked with the United Nations (UN)

shipping name, and bear labels
communicating the hazard of the
material contained in the package.
DOT–SP 13544 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of
Department of Transportation (DOT)
Specification 4BA240 cylinders
containing liquefied petroleum gas
(LPG) and propane and/or residue of
LPG or propane without hazard
warnings provided the materials are
transported in a closed and placarded
transport vehicle. This SP supports the
propane cylinder exchange programs
that accept expended cylinders in
exchange for full cylinders. Cylinders
collected during the course of these
programs may not always bear the
appropriate hazard warning markings
and labels as required by the HMR.
DOT–SP 13544 imposes certain
operational controls to ensure
appropriate hazard communication,
driver training, and appropriate
securement of the cylinder on the
transport vehicle. PHMSA proposes to
add a special provision, ‘‘N95’’ to allow
non-bulk packagings containing
UN1075, Liquefied petroleum gas and
UN1978, Propane not to be marked with
the UN number and proper shipping
name or bear hazard labels provided
certain restrictions are met.
Section 172.400a
The HMR provide exceptions or
alternatives to the labeling requirements
under specific circumstances. One such
alternative permits the use of a neckring
marking, under certain conditions, in
accordance with the CGA publication
C–7, Guide to Preparation of
Precautionary Labeling and Marking of
Compressed Gas Containers, Appendix
A, 8th Edition (2004). Section 172.400a
permits the use a CGA Pamphlet C–7
marking in lieu of the 100 mm x 100
mm square-on-point labels on a Dewar
flask meeting the requirements in
§ 173.320 and cylinders containing
Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 materials that
are not overpacked.
DOT–SP 14251 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of
overpacked cylinders, containing Class
2 materials, with CGA C–7 neckring
labels provided the overpack is labeled
in accordance with § 172.400.
Additionally, the CGA petitioned
PHMSA (P–1521) to allow cylinders to
display the neckring marking even
when overpacked. The petition would
still require the overpack to display the
100 mm x 100 mm square-on-point
labels in accordance with 49 CFR part
172, subpart E. The marking prescribed

cylinders over the course of several
years has enhanced its recognition. The
adoption of DOT–SP 14251 and CGA’s
proposed change would provide greater
flexibility for shipments of overpacked
cylinders while ensuring adequate
hazard communication. Therefore,
PHMSA is proposing to revise this
section to authorize the transportation
in commerce of overpacked cylinders,
containing Class 2 materials, with CGA
C–7 neckring labels and to allow these
cylinders to display the neckring
marking even when overpacked
provided the overpacks are properly

Part 173
Section 173.181
Section 173.181 specifies the
authorized packagings for the shipment
of pyrophoric materials (liquids) in
transportation. DOT–SP 14419
authorizes the additional use of DOT
specification 3AL cylinders constructed
from aluminum alloy 6061–T6 for the
shipment of pyrophoric liquids
provided the cylinders are constructed
of 6061–T6 aluminum, have a minimum
marked service pressure of 1800 psig,
have a maximum water capacity of 49
liters, and any preheating or heating of
the cylinders is limited to a maximum
temperature of 175 °F. PHMSA proposes
to revise this section to allow for the use
of DOT specification 3AL cylinders
constructed from aluminum alloy 6061–
T6, with the same specified limitations
for the shipment of pyrophoric
materials.
Section 173.193
Section 173.193(b) states that
‘‘Bromoacetone, methyl bromide,
chloropicrin and methyl bromide
mixtures, chloropicrin and methyl

Section 173.301
This section outlines the general
requirements for the use of cylinders
including a list of authorized cylinders,
general filling requirements, valve
protection, and pressure relief device
requirements. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes revisions that would amend
the pressure relief device requirements
and permit the use of valve caps made
from a material other than metal.
PHMSA proposes to authorize the
transportation in commerce of DOT
specification 39 cylinders without a
pressure relief device valve being in
communication with the vapor space.
With limited exceptions, § 173.301(f)
requires a cylinder filled with a
compressed gas to be fitted with a
pressure relief device. Section
173.301(f)(2) states that ‘‘a pressure
relief device, when installed, must be in
communication with the vapor space of
a cylinder containing a Division 2.1
(flammable gas) material.’’ DOT–SP
13318 authorizes the transportation in
commerce of DOT specification 39
cylinders of 75 cubic inches or less
volume, without the PRD in direct
communication with the vapor space.
PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph
(f)(2) to state that this provision does not
apply to cylinders of 75 cubic inches or
less in volume filled with a liquefied
petroleum gas, methyl acetylene and
propadiene mixtures, stabilized,
propylene, propane or butane. This SP
was originally issued in 2003
subsequent to the publication of HM–
220D [67 FR 51625; August 8, 2002]
which instituted the requirement that
the PRD be in communication with the
vapor space, and continues to allow a
shipping practice that prior to 2003 has
been successfully used with an
acceptable safety record.
PHMSA proposes to create an
additional exception to pressure relief
device requirements for DOT–3E
cylinders under certain limited
circumstances. DOT–SP 8074 provides
an exception from the pressure relief
device requirements for a DOT
specification 3E cylinder up to 12
inches long and 2 inches in diameter
when filled with the following gases up
to the specified limits: Carbon dioxide,
liquefied 0.24L (8 oz.), Ethane 0.12L
(4oz.), Ethylene (4 oz.), Hydrogen
chloride, anhydrous 0.24L (8 oz.),
Nitrous oxide 0.24L (8 oz.), Vinyl
fluoride, stabilized 0.24L (8 oz.) and
Monochlorotrifluoromethane 0.35L (12
oz.). PHMSA proposes to add a new
paragraph § 173.301(f)(7) to authorize
DOT 3E cylinders of this size and
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
containing these gasses to be shipped
without a pressure relief device
provided they are under the provided
maximum weight limits.
Finally, PHMSA also proposes to
authorize the use of valve protection
caps that are made from a material other
than metal. Compressed gas cylinders
must meet certain valve protection
requirements outlined in §§ 173.40(d)
and 173.301(h). Each cylinder with a
valve must have a protective metal cap,
other valve protection device, or an
overpack which is sufficient to protect
the valve from damage during
transportation. For Division 2.3 or 6.1
Hazard Zone A or B materials, the valve
protection must be of sufficient strength
to protect the valve from breakage and
leakage resulting from a drop of 2.0 m
(7 ft) or more onto a non-yielding
surface at the orientation most likely to
cause damage. DOT–SP 12782
authorizes plastic valve protection caps
for certain Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3
materials when the valve protection is
sufficient to prevent leakage when the
cylinder, with the valve installed, is
dropped from 2.0 m (7 ft) or more onto
a non-yielding floor, impacting the
valve assembly or cap at the orientation
most likely to cause damage. In this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend
§§ 173.40(d) and 173.301(h) to allow for
the valve protection, including the valve
cap, to be made from plastic. PHMSA is
not proposing any changes to
§ 173.301b(c) because ISO 11117
permits valve caps made of materials
other than metal.
Section 173.302a
Sections 173.302, 173.302a, 173.304
and 173.304a prescribe additional
requirements for the transport of nonliquefied (permanent) and liquefied
compressed gases in DOT specification
cylinders. These requirements include
authorized cylinders and filling limits.
Section 173.302a(b) states that a DOT
3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, and 3T cylinder
may be filled with a compressed gas,
other than a liquefied, dissolved,
Division 2.1, or Division 2.3 gas, to a
pressure 10% in excess of its marked
service pressure, subject to certain
safety criteria. DOT–SP 6530 authorizes
the transport in commerce of hydrogen
and mixtures of hydrogen with helium,
argon, or nitrogen, in certain cylinders
filled to 110% of their marked service
pressure. PHMSA proposes to add a
new paragraph (c) to include this
exception and to remark the other
paragraphs in this section to reflect this
addition. This SP was originally issued
over 40 years ago.

Section 173.304a
In § 173.304a(a)(2), a table provides
the maximum filling densities and
permissible cylinder types for certain
named gases. Currently, § 173.304a(a)(2)
permits a maximum filling density of
68% for carbon dioxide and nitrous
oxide in DOT 3, DOT 3HT2000 and
DOT 39 cylinders as well as DOT 3A,
3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, 3E, 3T, and 3AL
cylinders with a marked service
pressure of 1800 psi. PHMSA proposes
to modify the entries currently in the
table in § 173.304a(a)(2) to add
additional filling densities for carbon
dioxide and nitrous oxide.
DOT–SP 13599 authorizes additional
maximum filling densities for carbon
dioxide and nitrous oxide to include
70.3%, 73.2%, and 74.5% in DOT 3A,
3AA, 3AX, 3AAX, 3AL, and 3T
cylinders with marked service pressures
of 2000, 2265, and 2400, psig
respectively, subject to operational
controls. Air Products and Chemicals
Inc. (Air Products) submitted a petition
for rulemaking (P–1560) requesting
PHMSA revise § 173.304a(a)(2) to adopt
the provisions of DOT–SP 13599. Air
Products stated in its petition that the
proposed increase in the maximum
permitted filling densities would yield
various benefits including increased
harmonization of compressed gas filling
requirements with the UN Model
Regulations, benefits to the carbonated
beverage industry, decreased fuel costs
associated with the transportation and
delivery of carbon dioxide and nitrous
oxide, and reduced administrative costs
through the elimination of DOT–SP
13599. PHMSA has a high degree of
confidence that the increased filling
densities for these gases will not
adversely impact safety. While
determining if DOT–SP 13599 was
suitable for inclusion in this
rulemaking, PHMSA’s technical
evaluators confirmed that if the table in
§ 173.304a is revised to clearly link the
maximum permitted filling density with
the specific gas and the specific
packaging, then the operational controls
of DOT–SP 13599 would be met.
Therefore, PHMSA proposes to modify
the entries currently in the table in
§ 173.304a(a)(2) for carbon dioxide and
nitrous oxide to include the maximum
filling densities listed in P–1560 and
DOT–SP 13599.

asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Section 180.209
Each DOT specification cylinder must
be given a complete external and
internal visual inspection and subjected
to a hydrostatic pressure test. This
combination of a visual examination
and hydrostatic test is referred to as
requalification. The time period for
periodic requalification is typically 5
years, but this period varies depending
on the cylinder specification and the gas
service. The requalification period for
various DOT specification cylinders is
shown in the § 180.209 table.
Paragraph (e) authorizes a proof
pressure test in lieu of the volumetric
expansion test for 4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E
cylinders protected with a corrosion
resistant coating used exclusively for
the gases specified in that paragraph.
DOT–SP 12084 expands on the list in
paragraph (e) to include additional
gases. These gases are refrigerated gases
and liquefied gases similar to those
already permitted by § 180.209(e). This
SP was originally granted in 1998 and
has been revised several times to
expand the list of gases authorized by
the SP. Since 1998, thousands of
cylinders have been requalified in the
manner described by this SP without
safety incident. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to adopt the provisions in
DOT–SP 12084 by removing the list of
authorized gases and authorizing the
use of the proof pressure test for DOT–
4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E cylinders protected
externally by a suitable corrosion
resistant coating and used exclusively
for non-corrosive gases. The authorized
specifications limit the total pressure in
the cylinder to 500 psi or less. It should
be noted that because this SP does not
include a 4E cylinder, PHMSA
specifically requests comments on the
feasibility of its inclusion.
Section 180.213
Cylinders requalified in accordance
with the HMR must bear requalification
markings in accordance with § 180.213.
As provided in § 180.213(c), ‘‘The depth
of requalification markings may not be
greater than specified in the applicable
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:51 Jan 29, 2015
specification. The markings must be
made by stamping, engraving, scribing
or other method that produces a legible,
durable mark.’’ DOT–SP 14937 allows
the use of a label embedded in epoxy in
lieu of other methods described in
§ 180.213. PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (c) to allow the use of a label
embedded in epoxy in lieu of stamping
provided the marking is legible and
durable. This SP was originally issued
in 2008 and has an acceptable safety
record.

Part 173
Section 173.304
Section 173.304 specifies the
requirements for the filling of cylinders
with liquefied compressed gases.
Paragraph (d) of this section provides
for authorized packagings for the filling
of cylinders with refrigerant and
dispersant gases. The current
regulations authorize these materials in
a 2Q non-refillable container. DOT–SP
12573 authorizes a refrigerant gas (‘‘R
134a,’’ UN3159) in a non-DOT
specification container similar to a 2Q
container at a maximum allowable
pressure requirement for the contents of
198 psig at 54.4 °C (130 °F).
Based on our review of the permit and
no discovery of compliance violations
or incidents associated with the
transport history of the permit, we are
proposing to adopt the container found
in DOT–SP 12573 as an authorized
container. However, we are differing
marginally from the permit in that we
are adopting a maximum pressure
threshold of 200 psig at 55 °C (131 °F)
for the contents. There is no safety basis
for the 200 psig ceiling other than we
believe it is a cleaner cutoff point than
the 198 psig maximum found in the SP.
In addition, as part of the variation on
the design of a DOT 2Q container, the
modified container will be marked as
‘‘DOT 2Q1.’’
Finally, the current regulations
require that the pressure of the contents
of the metal containers not exceed 87
psig at 21 °C (70 °F). We invite comment
on whether the requirement for a
maximum pressure should be specified
at 21 °C (70 °F) for the 2Q1 container in
addition to the limit at 55 °C (131 °F).
If so, we invite comment on what
should the limit be for typical
refrigerant or dispersant gas such as
1,1,1,2 Tetrafluoroethane, R134a. See
the associated discussions for
§§ 173.306 and 178.33d.

making several proposed changes to this
section. The proposed changes are
discussed as follows:
Conforming revisions. Throughout
this section of the HMR and within
related SPs that provide exemptions
from these regulations for gases,
pressure standards are indicated at
either 130 °F or 131 °F. In the interest of
consistency and conformity with the
general requirements for compressed
gases in §§ 173.301 and 173.301a, we
are proposing to change all references of
54.4 °C (130 °F) to 55 °C (131 °F). We
invite comment on whether there are
any potential negatives in making this
conforming change. We are also making
revisions to the construction and
formatting of how this section is
presented (e.g., insertion of an ‘‘if, then’’
table) in an effort to make the
requirements more reader-friendly.
Authorized Metal Containers
DOT 2P inner nonrefillable metal
containers. Under § 173.306, limited
quantities of foodstuffs or soaps with
soluble or emulsified compressed gas
are authorized in nonrefillable metal or
plastic containers. Paragraph (b)(1)
introductory text authorizes these
containers subject to a pressure
requirement not to exceed 140 psig at
54.4 °C (130 °F). SPs 13601 and 14503
authorize the transportation of
‘‘UN1950, Aerosols, non-flammable
(each not exceeding 1 L capacity), 2.2,’’
and 7951 authorizes the transportation
of ‘‘UN1956, Compressed gas, n.o.s.,
2.2,’’ in containers that conform to DOT
2P or 2Q specifications except for some
minimal modifications. The containers
must have maximum pressures for the
contents of 160 psig at 54.4 °C (130 °F)
and 150 psig at 23.9 °C (75 °F),
respectively. DOT–SP 7951 states that
the containers must be transported in
the refrigerated state. PHMSA is seeking
comments on whether refrigeration
should be a condition of the transport of
these materials. As part of the variation
on the specification of these containers,
the modified container will be marked
as ‘‘DOT 2P1’’ under the provisions of
new § 178.33c discussed separately in
this rulemaking.
We are also proposing to include DOT
2P1 as an authorized metal aerosol
container under § 173.306(a)(3)(iii). We
see no reason to limit this container to
foodstuffs or soaps under paragraph
(b)(1) because the pressure limit for the
contents is the same as the current
requirement for a DOT 2P container,
and the safety factor of the minimum
burst pressure under the SP is greater
than that for a DOT 2P container (270

psig vs. 240 psig). We are not proposing
to adopt the burst pressure requirement
because the SP requirements are such
that the pressure relief system of these
containers must function at a pressure
below the burst pressure. Also, the DOT

Division 2.1 and 2.2 aerosols under
§ 173.306(a)(3)(iii).
DOT 2Q inner nonrefillable metal
containers. Limited quantities of
compressed gas are authorized in metal
aerosol containers (see § 171.8 of the
HMR). Paragraph (a)(3) introductory text
of this section authorizes metal aerosol
containers under certain conditions
including packaging types and pressure
thresholds. The current regulations
under § 173.306(a)(3)(iii) require use of
a DOT 2Q container for pressures
exceeding 160 psig at 54.4 °C (130 °F)
but not to exceed 180 psig. DOT–SP
12573 authorizes the transport of
‘‘Aerosols, non-flammable,’’ UN1950 in
non-DOT specification containers that
conform to DOT 2Q specifications
except for some modifications. The
containers must have maximum
pressures for the contents of 198 psig at
54.4 °C (130 °F).
Based on review of the permit and no
discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport
history of the permit, we are proposing
to adopt the modified DOT 2Q as an
authorized metal aerosol container.
However, we are differing marginally
from the permit in that we are adopting
a maximum pressure threshold of 200
psig at 55 °C (131 °F). There is no safety
basis for the 200 psig ceiling other than
we believe it is a cleaner cutoff point
than the 198 psig maximum found in
the permit. As part of the variation of
the specification of a DOT 2Q container,
the modified container will be marked
as ‘‘DOT 2Q1.’’
This proposed rule would also
expand authorized materials to include
Division 2.1 aerosols. We see no reason
to limit the use of this container to nonflammable aerosols based on the record
of use for this container and that DOT
2Q containers currently authorized in
the HMR are allowed to be used for all
defined aerosol types, however, we
invite comment on the suitability of the
container for all aerosol types. See the
associated discussions for §§ 173.304
and 178.33d.
DOT–SP 13581 is linked to the above
proposed provision in that it authorizes
the use of metal aerosol containers
manufactured, tested, and marked
according to DOT–SP 12573. We believe
with the adoption of the modified DOT
2Q container (i.e., a DOT 2Q1
container), this SP will no longer be
needed.

Alternatives to Testing of Metal Aerosol
Containers by a Hot Water Bath Test
As a condition of the use of a metal
aerosol container, each container, after
being filled, must be subjected to a hot
water bath to raise the internal pressure
to such a degree that leakage or
permanent deformation, if any, can be
determined (see § 173.306(a)(3)(v)). The
provision also provides for a testing
protocol for a container where the
contents may be sensitive to heat.
Currently, this is the only method
authorized for determining leakage or
permanent deformation and thus, fillers
that have developed other protocols or
that do not want to subject their
products to a hot water bath test must
obtain a SP. A number of SPs that
authorize the use of alternative methods
to determine leakage or permanent
deformation are discussed as follows:
(1) Alternate hot water bath test.
DOT–SP 12995 authorizes a
methodology that is a combination of a
hot water bath test, a weight test, and
visual inspection. Rather than
subjecting each filled container to a hot
water bath test, only one container out
of each lot is subjected to the hot water
bath test, a second is subjected to a
weight test, the results of which must be
compared to weight specification for the
container as outlined in quality control
procedures, and finally, the remainder
of the lot must be visually inspected by
examining the valve, crimp, and seam
areas for evidence of leakage.
Based on review of the permit and no
discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport
history of the permit, we are proposing
to adopt DOT–SP 12995. The permit
authorizes only DOT 2Q containers but
we are applying it to all authorized
metal aerosol containers. While
determining if DOT–SP 12995 was
suitable for inclusion in this
rulemaking, PHMSA’s technical
evaluators confirmed that the
methodology that includes a
combination of hot water bath test,
weight test, and visual inspection may
be performed on a DOT 2P as well as a
DOT 2Q. Since these containers are
similar designs except in terms of
strength, this alternative to the hot water
bath test is applicable to any metal
container. Previously, most applicants
of DOT–SP 12995 only requested 2Q
because that is what they needed for
their particular hazmat, but that does
not mean that alternative testing is not
good for similar containers.
Additionally, the permit applies to
specific filling conditions but we will
apply this testing method to containers
complying with the current filling

conditions in § 173.306(a)(3). Finally,
we vary from the permit with our
proposed language in that we require
maintenance and access to operating
procedures especially with regard to the
weight test and specification in order to
effect a broader application of this
alternative. Rather than specify
standards, we will allow persons to
develop their own procedures that best
fit their product on the condition that
DOT has access to these procedures. We
invite comment on this approach and
others. In our proposal, for purposes of
this alternative, we designate a lot as
2,000 containers consistent with the SP.
We invite comment on whether we
should specify a lot size, allow persons
to determine the lot size, and if so, how
the testing procedures should be
modified to accommodate larger lot
sizes.
(2) Automated in-line pressure test.
DOT–SPs 14429, 14623, 14625, 14627,
14723, 14724, 14786, 14842, 14887,
14953, 15135, 15265, 15427, and 15972
all authorize the use of an automated
process to check the pressure of filled
containers (i.e., an ‘‘automated in-line
pressure check’’) instead of subjecting
the containers to a hot water bath. Based
on review of the SPs and no discovery
of compliance violations or incidents
associated with the transport history of
the permit, we are proposing to adopt
the provisions of these SPs, specifically
authorizing the use of an automated
process for pressure checks that does
not involve a hot water bath. The safety
control measures for the ‘‘automated inline pressure check’’ vary greatly among
the SPs with regard to the criteria for
rejection, limits on the filling of
contents, inspection, and corrective
action. We are seeking comments on
whether the proposed +/¥0.5%
accuracy of the pressure measuring
instrument is appropriate for widelyused automated equipment for aerosols.
Rather than attempt to develop a
standard that might not address all
possible variations on an automated
process, we have opted to propose a
performance-based requirement that
adopts parts of all of the SPs.
Specifically, we propose to require the
development of operating procedures
(which we believe most entities should
already have as part of their processes),
we provide for basic components that
the procedures must address (e.g.,
inclusion of rejection criteria), and we
require written record of the operating
procedures be made accessible to DOT
representatives. We invite comment on
the merits of this approach.
(3) Weight test. DOT–SP 14440
authorizes the use of a process to check
the weight of filled containers (i.e., an

asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
5416
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
‘‘automated in-line pressure check’’)
instead of subjecting the containers to a
hot water bath. Based on review of the
permit and no discovery of compliance
violations or incidents associated with
the transport history of the permit, we
are proposing to adopt the scope of this
SP, specifically authorizing the use of
weight checks as a means to determine
compliance with pressure requirements.
Comparison of the weight of a container
against the pre-determined target weight
for the container provides an indication
of the filling of the container. For
example, a container with a weight
greater than that of the target weight
provides an indication of overfilling and
thus, would likely exceed the
authorized pressure limit at 55 °C
(131 °F). We have opted to propose a
performance-based requirement that
adopts parts of all of the SPs.
Specifically, we propose to require the
development of operating procedures
(which we believe most entities should
already have as part of their processes),
we provide for basic components that
the procedures must address (e.g., a
supplementary heat test for rejection of
a lot), and we require written record of
the operating procedures accessible to
DOT representatives. We invite
comment on the merits of this approach.
(4) Leakage test. DOT–SP 14544
authorizes the use of a high pressure air
test on empty containers combined with
a leakage test for filled containers
instead of subjecting the containers to a
hot water bath. The testing protocol for
filled containers found in this SP is
currently applied to plastic containers
under paragraph (a)(5) of this section in
the HMR, however, the pressure and
leakage test of the empty containers
differs in its application. Under DOT–
SP 14544, each empty container must be
pressure tested at 120 psig instead of the
HMR requirement that each empty
container must be subjected to a
pressure equal to or in excess of the
maximum expected in the filled
containers at 55 °C (131 °F), and that is
at least two-thirds of the design pressure
of the container. Under both tests, if
there is evidence of leakage, the
container must be rejected. Based on
review of the permit, no discovery of
compliance violations or incidents
associated with the transport history of
the permit, and a similar requirement
currently under the HMR, we are
proposing to adopt the scope of this SP,
specifically authorizing the use of a
leakage test as a means to determine
compliance with pressure requirements.
Our implementation will differ from the
SP in that we are proposing to adopt the
leakage testing requirements under
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:51 Jan 29, 2015
Jkt 235001
§ 173.306(a)(5)(v), but including the
DOT–SP 14544 testing protocol for
empty containers as an alternative. We
invite comment on our approach to
adopt this SP.
Accumulators. The HMR provides for
special considerations for limited
amounts of compressed gas in
accumulators. DOT–SP 8786 authorizes
the transport of accumulators under an
alternative testing procedure from what
is outlined in paragraph (f)(2) and (f)(3)
of this section. Instead of testing each
accumulator to three times (3x) the
charge pressure, the SP provides for
conditions to test one accumulator out
of each lot of 1,000 to the burst design
pressure, and two accumulators to two
and a half times (2.5x) the charge
pressure. Based on review of the permit,
no discovery of compliance violations
or incidents associated with the
transport history of the permit, and the
lengthy history of use of this SP, we are
proposing to adopt DOT–SP 8786 except
for the specific conditions for the
preparation for testing of the
accumulators.
Aerosol disposal. The general
packaging requirements of the HMR
forbid the transport of leaking or
improperly-filled packages. This
includes aerosol containers that are
found to be leaking or improperly filled
as part of a combination packaging.
Although the HMR provides for
conditions to allow for the transport of
damaged, defective, or leaking packages
under salvage packaging provisions in
§ 173.3(c) and (d) for salvage drums and
salvage cylinders, respectively, these
provisions do not apply to aerosol
containers that are leaking or
improperly filled. Thus, shippers
(fillers) with defective aerosol
containers (‘‘waste aerosols’’) are
limited to onsite disposal of aerosol
containers that do not comply with the
HMR. DOT–SP 11296 provides for an
option to transport these containers to
an offsite facility for disposal under
certain conditions (e.g., overpacking in
DOT specification packagings, modal
restrictions, etc.).
Based on review of the permit, no
discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport
history of the permit, and that adoption
would allow for the transport of these
aerosols for proper disposal, we are
proposing to adopt the general scope of
DOT–SP 11296 but with some
differences. The proposed language is
not limited to flammable aerosols such
as indicated in the language in DOT–SP
11296. Also, the proposed regulatory
language is modeled after the salvage
packaging requirements of § 173.3(c) in
that: (1) The authorized outer packaging
PO 00000
Frm 00078
Fmt 4701

for overpacking the defective cylinders
has been expanded to include other
metal drums (i.e., 1B2 and 1N2); (2) a
condition for cushioning and absorbent
material, when necessary, has been
added; and (3) an ‘‘aerosol salvage’’
drum marking has been adopted. We
invite comment on several aspects of
these proposed provisions including
authorized aerosols, (e.g., are there
concerns with allowing aerosols other
than flammable aerosols only in the
drums?), authorized outer packaging,
hazard communication, and authorized
transport modes.
Part 178
Section 178.33c
Under the HMR, certain DOT
specification containers with restricted
capacity and commonly referred to as
‘‘aerosol containers’’ are authorized for
transport of compressed gases and for
liquefied compressed gases under
limited situations. These containers
include DOT 2P (inner non-refillable
metal) containers. The specification
standards are outlined in § 178.33 of the
HMR, but the specification does not
provide for variations on the standards.
Thus, technological advances or design
changes to satisfy customer needs are
such that the resulting metal containers
would not comply with the standards
for a DOT 2P container, nor any other
container authorized under either
§§ 173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR.
DOT–SPs 13601 and 14503 (also 7951)
provide for a variation on the DOT 2P
container specifications by authorizing
construction of the container according
to modifications to the standards for
manufacture and testing.
These variations on a 2P container are
equipped with some manner of pressure
relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release
device or a dome expansion device) that
must function within a certain pressure
range, otherwise the container is
rejected. In effect, these containers are
designed to buckle to relieve pressure
before bursting. For example, for a
container built to DOT–SP 13601, the
pressure relief system must function
between 175 psig and 210 psig or be
rejected. However, we have no specific
information in the special permit(s) on
the relationship between the functional
range and the tested burst pressure. The
current requirements for a container for
foodstuffs under § 173.306(b)(1) is that
the pressure of the contents cannot
exceed 140 psig at 130 °F and the
container must be capable of
withstanding a pressure of 1.5x the
contents at 130 °F without bursting.
Thus, 140 psig of contents equates to a
minimum burst pressure of 210 psig.
E:\FR\FM\30JAP3.SGM
30JAP3
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
Additionally, the current minimum
burst pressure for a DOT 2P container is
240 psig (§ 178.33–8). Using the DOT–
SP 13601 requirements, the minimum
burst pressure requirement is listed as
270 psig (assumed at 130 °F) and the
pressure of contents at 130 °F may not
exceed 160 psig thus, equating to
approximately 1.7x the contents at
130 °F without bursting (which is more
stringent than for a 2P under the HMR).
However, accounting for the pressure
range for operation of the relief system
at 175 psig to 210 psig, the multiplier
based on the maximum pressure of the
contents is approximately 1.1x to 1.3x
the contents. That is, the relief system
must function within 1.1x to 1.3x the
pressure of the contents at 130 °F.
This is further complicated under
DOT–SP 14503 (and 7951) where the
standard for the pressure of the contents
is set at 75 °F for which we do not have
an equivalent requirement under the
HMR. Additionally, the ranges for
functioning of the relief systems have a
higher upper bound, 175 to 250 and 175
to 235, respectively. And, finally there
is no minimum burst pressure specified
in DOT–SP 14503 (and 7951); therefore,
we must default to the DOT 2P
minimum burst pressure of 240 psig.
Again, the circumstances are unclear in
that the upper bounds for the functional
ranges approach or exceed the 2P
minimum burst pressure yet we do not
have information on the actual tested
burst pressure which could be much
larger. Therefore, based on the
requirements of DOT–SP 13601, we
propose to implement a requirement
that for containers with pressure relief
systems, the upper bound of the
functional range for a pressure relief
system must be no greater than 80% of
the minimum burst pressure or the
recorded test pressure. We invite
comment on using this approach and
whether it would be preferable to
implement a requirement for the upper
bound of the range based on the
pressure of the contents?
Overall, based on review of the permit
and no discovery of safety issues or
incidents associated with the transport
history of the permit, we are proposing
to incorporate the standards for the
modified DOT 2P container found in
DOT–SP 13601 (and likely 14503
(7951)) as a variation on the DOT 2P
container design. This variation would
be required to be marked as a ‘‘DOT
2P1.’’ Rather than repeat in total the
DOT 2P specification standards that
have remained the same for a DOT 2P1
container, we propose to instruct the
reader that all standards for a DOT 2P1
remain the same as those for a DOT 2P

except for the variations outlined in a
proposed new § 178.33c–2.
Section 178.33d
Under the HMR, certain DOT
specification containers with restricted
capacity and commonly referred to as
‘‘aerosol containers’’ are authorized for
transport of compressed gases and for
liquefied compressed gases under
limited situations. These containers
include DOT 2Q (inner nonrefillable
metal) containers. The specification
standards are outlined in § 178.33a of
the HMR but the specification does not
provide for variations on the standards.
Thus, technological advances or design
changes to satisfy customer needs are
such that the resulting metal containers
would not comply with the standards
for a DOT 2Q container, nor any other
container authorized under either
§§ 173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR.
DOT–SP 12573 provides for a variation
on the DOT 2Q container specifications
by authorizing construction of the
container according to modifications to
the standards for type and size,
manufacture, wall thickness, and
testing. DOT–SP 14503 also provides for
a variation on the DOT 2Q container
specification by authorizing
construction of the container according
to modifications to its manufacture and
testing.
These variations on a 2P container are
equipped with some manner of pressure
relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release
device or a dome expansion device) that
must function by a certain threshold
level or within a certain pressure range,
otherwise the container is rejected. In
effect, these containers are designed to
buckle to relieve pressure before
bursting. For example, for a container
built to DOT–SP 12573, the minimum
pressure before the system buckles is
220 psig (and if not equipped with a
pressure relief system, the container
may not burst below 320 psig). The
maximum pressure of the contents
authorized under this SP is 198 psig at
130 °F (we proposed at maximum level
of 200 psig based on this SP in the
§ 173.306 discussion for 2Q containers).
The current requirements for a 2Q
container under § 173.306(a)(3)(ii) is
that the pressure of the contents cannot
exceed 180 psig at 130 °F and the
container must be capable of
withstanding a pressure of 1.5x the
contents at 130 °F without bursting.
Applying the same multiplier to 200
psig, the container must withstand 300
psig without bursting. The DOT–SP
12573 minimum burst pressure of 320
psig is more stringent; however, the
calculated burst pressure of 300 psig
based on the proposed maximum
PO 00000
Frm 00079
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
5417
pressure of contents is also greater than
the current required minimum burst
pressure of 270 psig for a 2Q container.
Thus, it provides a greater margin of
safety than current required but also
provides some opportunity for relief as
a standard. We propose to adopt a 300
psig minimum burst pressure for this
modified 2Q container. Also, we
propose to require buckling of the
system at 75% of tested burst pressure
(with a minimum burst test pressure of
300 psig). We invite comment on these
approaches for adoption of the
provisions for the modified 2Q
container under DOT–SP 12573. Based
on review of the permit and no
discovery of incidents associated with
the transport history of the permit, we
are proposing to adopt the standards for
the modified DOT 2Q container found
in DOT–SP 12573 as a variation on the
DOT 2Q container design. This variation
would be required to be marked as a
‘‘DOT 2Q1.’’
The requirements under DOT–SP
14503 operate differently in that the
standard for the pressure of the contents
is set at 75 °F to which we do not have
an equivalent requirement under the
HMR. Additionally, the SP provides for
a range of pressure for functioning of the
relief systems, specifically, 180 to 300
psig. And, finally there is no minimum
burst pressure specified in DOT–SP
14503 so we must default to the DOT 2Q
minimum burst pressure of 270 psig.
The upper bound for the functional
range exceeds the 2Q minimum burst
pressure yet we do not have information
on the actual tested burst pressure
which could be much larger. Therefore,
based on a similar proposal to
implement provisions of DOT–SP 13601
for 2P containers (see the § 178.33c
discussion), the upper bound of the
functional range for a pressure relief
system must be no greater than 80% of
the test pressure. We invite comment on
using this approach and whether it
would be preferable to implement a
requirement for the upper bound of the
range based on the pressure of the
contents.
Based on review of the permit and no
discovery of incidents associated with
the transport history of the permit, we
are proposing to adopt the standards for
the modified DOT 2Q container found
in DOT–SP 14503 as a variation on the
DOT 2Q container design. This variation
would be required to be marked as a
‘‘DOT 2Q2.’’ Rather than repeat, in total,
the DOT 2Q specification standards for
each of these modified containers that
have remained the same, we propose to
implement the proposals in this section
by instructing the reader that all
standards for a DOT 2Q1 or a DOT 2Q2

remain as for a DOT 2Q except for the
variations outlined in proposed new
§§ 178.33d–2 and 178.33d–3. We invite
comment on this method of
implementing these modified DOT 2Q
specification containers.

asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Section 173.315
Section 173.315 specifies the bulk
packaging provisions for liquefied
compressed gases in UN and DOT
specification cargo tanks and portable
tanks. DOT–SP 12576 authorizes nonDOT specification cargo tanks for the
transportation of UN1080, Sulfur
hexafluoride, that otherwise conform to
the MC 331 specifications except for
design pressure, capacity, and marking.
The cargo tanks are designed and built
in conformance with Section VIII,
Division 1, of the ASME Code, and the
design pressure may not exceed 600
psig. Additionally, the water capacity
range for each tank ranges from a
minimum of 15 gallons to a maximum
of 500 gallons. Based on our review of
the permit and no discovery of
compliance violations or incidents
associated with the transport history of
the permit, we are proposing to revise
the § 173.315(a)(2) Table by referring to
a new Note 28 in the entry for ‘‘Division
2.2, materials not specifically provided
for in this table’’ as Sulfur hexafluoride
is not listed by name in the table. New
note 28 codifies such tanks specified in
DOT–SP12576 for the transportation of
Sulfur hexafluoride. PHMSA is
soliciting comment on whether this
amendment should include other
compressed gases and whether the
prescribed design pressure or capacity
should be revised in a final rule.
Section 173.319
Section 173.319 prescribes the
loading and packaging provisions for
cryogenic liquids transported in tank
cars. Currently, the HMR authorizes a
maximum of 10 psig in a DOT

cars containing Ethylene, refrigerated
liquid, at an internal pressure of 20 psig
instead of the maximum 10 psig. Based
on our review of the permit and no
discovery of compliance violations or

to revise the paragraph (d)(2) Table by
authorizing a maximum of 20 psig

Section 176.90
Currently, § 176.800(a) of the HMR
specifies that each package requiring a
Class 8 (corrosive) label being
transported by vessel must be stowed
clear from living quarters and away
from foodstuffs and cargo of an organic
nature. In addition, § 176.800(b)
prohibits packages requiring a Class 8
(corrosive) label from being stowed over
any readily combustible material. DOT–
SP 11691 authorizes deviation from the
segregation requirements for vessel
stowage when shipped in the same
transport unit of certain flammable,
Class 9 (miscellaneous), and corrosive
liquids that are the ingredients of soft
drinks (beverages). DOT–SP 11691 also
allows these packages of certain
corrosive liquids to be stowed over
Section 176.90 prescribes
requirements for private automobiles
carrying Class 1 hazardous materials on
board ferry vessels. There are four SPs
that provide relief for ferry transport of
private automobiles carrying engines,
gasoline, and propane. DOT–SP 7465,
11150, 13213, and 14458 all contain
slightly different provisions to facilitate
this process safely. Where differences
exist between these permits, PHMSA
has attempted to choose the least
restrictive provision for adoption.
PHMSA specifically requests comments
on this approach.

In this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to
revise this section to allow items
normally offered as engines, vehicles,
gasoline, or propane in private
automobiles aboard ferry vessels to
receive exceptions with certain
restrictions. These restrictions include:
(1) Cylinders must be visually inspected
for defects, cracks, or leaks, and gasoline
containers must show no signs of
damage or leakage; (2) cylinders of
liquefied petroleum gas must have the
cylinders securely attached to
recreational vehicles; (3) extra
containers of gasoline (including camp
stove or lantern fuel) and portable
cylinders of liquefied petroleum gas
(including cylinders for camping
equipment) not securely attached to
recreational vehicles must be stowed in
the vessel’s paint locker; (4) liquefied
petroleum gas cylinders must be
secured by closing the shut-off valves
prior to the recreational vehicles being
loaded on the vessel; (5) the owner or
operator of each recreational vehicle
must be directed to close all operating
valves within the vehicles, (6) ‘‘no
smoking’’ signs must be posted on the
vehicle decks and, if used for storage of
hazardous materials in close proximity
to the vessel’s paint locker; (7) a
continuous patrol of the vehicle decks
must be made by a crewmember, and
any unusual or dangerous situation
must be reported to the vessel’s master;
(8) passengers are allowed on the
vehicle decks, but are subject to the
control of the crew personnel
conducting the continuous vehicle deck
patrol; (9) vessel personnel responsible
for performing any function in the

PHMSA is proposing to add the
following definition based on the
proposed adoption of DOT–SP 11458:
Display pack: This term means a
package intended to be placed on the
floor of retail stores which is designed
to provide direct customer access to
consumer commodities contained
within the package when all or part of
the outer fiberboard packaging is
removed.
DOT–SP 11458 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of display
packs of consumer commodity packages
or limited quantity packages that exceed
the 30 kg gross weight limit. The
provisions of DOT–SP 11458 are being
proposed for adoption into § 173.156.
However, the term ‘‘display pack’’ is not
currently defined in the HMR.
Therefore, in this NPRM we are
proposing to adopt the definition for
‘‘display pack’’ under § 171.8 based
upon the definition found in DOT–SP
11458.

Section 172.102
Section 172.102 lists Special
Provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous
materials. Special Provisions contain
packaging requirements, prohibitions,
and exceptions applicable to particular
quantities or forms of hazardous
materials. PHMSA is proposing the
following revisions to the § 172.102,
Special Provisions:
Special Provision 380
PHMSA proposes to add Special
Provision 380 to adopt SP 10705. This
SP provides relief from the segregation
requirements of § 177.848(d) for the
transport of UN1092, Acrolein,
stabilized by private carrier in a motor
vehicle. The SP prescribes the
packaging that must be used and the
materials with which acrolien,
stabilized may be loaded. The SP further
specifies that the motor carrier must
maintain a satisfactory safety rating as
prescribed in part 385 of CFR Title 49.
Based on our review, the fact that
transportation conducted under this SP
has an acceptable safety record, and
adopting it would provide flexibility in
transportation while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in this Special Provision. The
provisions of DOT–SP 10705 are
specific to UN1092, Acrolein, stabilized;
therefore, this Special Provision is
assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.

railway track, explosive (UN0193,
Division 1.4S, PG II).
Special Provision 382
PHMSA proposes to add Special
Provision 382 to adopt SP 8006. This SP
provides relief from the labeling
requirements of § 172.400(a) for the
transportation of toy plastic or paper
caps for toy pistols by motor vehicle,
railcar, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft.
See § 172.400a(a)(8) for a detailed
discussion of the proposed adoption of
DOT–SP 8006. This Special Provision is
assigned to the following HMT entries:
Articles, explosive, n.o.s. (UN0349) and
Toy caps (UN0337).
Special Provision 383
PHMSA proposes to add Special
Provision 383 to adopt SP 11356. This
SP authorizes material meeting the
conditions for high viscosity flammable
liquids specified in § 173.121(b)(1)(i),
(b)(1)(ii), and (b)(1)(iv), to be re-classed
to Packing Group III for transportation
by motor vehicle. The SP prescribes
packaging, capacity limitations, and
load securement requirements. Based on
our review, the fact that transportation
conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it
would provide flexibility in the
transportation of these materials while

Special Provision 385
PHMSA proposes to add Special
Provision 385 to adopt SP 13343. This
SP authorizes the use of cargo heaters
when weather conditions are such that
the freezing of certain wetted explosive
material is likely. Shipments must be
made by private, leased or contract
carrier vehicles in exclusive use. Cargo
heaters must be reverse refrigeration
(heat pump) units. Shipments made in
accordance with the SP are excepted
from the anti-freeze requirements of
§ 173.60(b)(4). Based on our review, the
fact that transportation conducted under
this SP has an acceptable safety record,
and adopting it would provide
flexibility to motor carriers engaged in
the transportation of these explosive
materials while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to adopt the provisions of the
SP in its entirety in this Special
Provision. The provisions of DOT–SP
13343 are specific to Trinitroresorcinol,
wetted or Styphnic acid, wetted with not
less than 20% water, or mixture of
alcohol and water by mass (UN0394);
therefore this Special Provision is
assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Special Provision B130
PHMSA proposes to add Special
Provision B130 to adopt SP 14525. This
SP provides relief from the HMR except
for the shipping paper requirements of
Subpart C of Part 172, emergency
response information as required by
§ 172.602, and the marking
requirements of § 172.302,(a), (b), and
(d) when transporting used
diatomaceous earth filter material by
highway. The SP prescribes packaging,
quantity limitations, and the required
method of storing the packages within
the motor vehicle. Based on our review,
the fact that transportation conducted
under this SP has an acceptable safety
record, and adopting it would provide
flexibility to private motor carriers
engaged in pest control operations while
maintaining an equivalent level of
safety, we are proposing to adopt the
provisions of the SP in its entirety in
this Special Provision. The provisions of
SP 14525 are specific to self-heating

Section 172.202
Section 172.202 establishes
requirements for shipping descriptions
on shipping papers. As part of these
shipping paper requirements, in many
situations a net or gross quantity of the
hazardous materials must be included.
SP 11811 provides relief from this
requirement for local collections
operations transporting hazardous
materials and hazardous substances by
highway that are ‘‘household wastes’’ as
described in 40 CFR 261.4 and not
subject to the Environmental Protection
Agency’s hazardous waste regulations in
40 CFR, Parts 262 and 263. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation
conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it
would provide flexibility to shippers
while maintaining an equivalent level of
safety, we are proposing to revise
paragraph (c) of § 172.202 to adopt the
provisions of SP 11811 in its entirety.
Section 172.315
Section 172.315 establishes
requirements for the marking of
packages containing limited quantities
of hazardous materials. For
transportation by highway by private
carrier SP 11197 provides relief from the
requirement to display the limited
quantity marking on packages
containing materials assigned to Packing
Groups II and III prepared in accordance
with the limited quantity requirements
in Part 173. The relief offered by SP
11197 does not include materials
assigned to Classes 1, and 7, and
Division 6.1 and 6.2 materials. The SP
prescribes inner packaging and package
quantity limitations; the maximum gross
weight of packages that may be
transported in one vehicle; and special
package marking requirements. Based
on our review, the fact that
transportation conducted under this SP
has an acceptable safety record, and
adopting it would provide flexibility in
transportation while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(3)
to § 172.315 to adopt the provisions of
SP 11197 in its entirety.
Section 172.400a
Section 172.400a provides exceptions
from the § 172.400 general labeling
requirements for packages or
containment devices containing

transportation by motor vehicle, rail
freight, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft.
The toy plastic or paper caps must have
been examined in conformance with
§ 173.56 and approved by the Associate
Administrator for Hazardous Materials
Safety. The SP specifies that the toy
plastic or paper caps must be in the
form of sheets, strips, rolls, or
individual caps and further specifies the
maximum average explosive
composition of each cap. The SP also
prescribes quantity limitations and
packaging, segregation, and special
marking requirements. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation
conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it
would provide flexibility in
transportation while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(8)
to § 172.400a to adopt the provisions of
SP 8006 in its entirety.
Part 173
Section 173.12
Section 173.12 provides certain
exceptions and authorizations for the
transportation of waste materials. SP
11470 authorizes transportation by
motor vehicle and cargo vessel of
shrink-wrapped pallets containing
boxes of waste ORM–D or limited
quantity materials when marked with
the word ‘‘WASTE’’ on the outside of
the pallet instead of each individual
box. The SP prescribes packaging and
marking requirements for the waste
materials. In addition, under a petition
for rulemaking under petition number
P–1611, COSTHA also requested that
PHMSA adopt this SP into the HMR.
Based on our review, the fact that

14680, 14822, 14827, and 14840
authorize ‘‘attendance’’ of the loading or
unloading of a cargo tank by a qualified
person observing all loading or
unloading operations by means of a
video monitor located at a remote
control station. These SPs prescribe
operational controls and specific
requirements for the video monitoring
system. Based on our review, the fact
that transportation conducted under
these SPs have an acceptable safety
record, and adopting them would
provide flexibility in operations while
maintaining an equivalent level of
safety, we are proposing to revise
paragraph (i)(3) and (i)(4) of § 177.834 to
adopt the provisions of these SPs in
their entirety.
SPs 13484 and 14447 authorize
‘‘attendance’’ of the loading or
unloading of a cargo tank through the
use of hoses equipped with cable
connected wedges, plungers, or flapper
valves located at each end of the hose,
able to stop the flow of product from
both the source and the receiving tank
within one second without human
intervention in the event of a hose
rupture, disconnection, or separation.
The SPs prescribe inspection
requirements and operational controls
for use of the hoses. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation
conducted under these SPs have an
acceptable safety record, and adopting
them would provide flexibility in
operations while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to revise paragraphs (i)(3) and
(i)(4) of § 177.834 to adopt the
provisions of SPs 13484 and 14447 in
their entirety.
SPs 10597, 10803, 10882, 14618, and
14726 authorize the use of diesel or
propane fueled combustion cargo
heaters in motor vehicles used to
transport Class 3 (flammable liquid) or
Division 2.1 (flammable gas) materials.
The SPs prescribe operational controls
for use of the heaters. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation
conducted under these SPs have an
acceptable safety record, and adopting
them would provide flexibility in
operations while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to revise paragraph (l)(2)(i) of
PO 00000

§ 177.834 to adopt the provisions of
these SPs in their entirety. In this
NPRM, as the existing paragraph
(l)(2)(ii) of § 177.834 relating to the
Effective date for combustion heater
requirements is obsolete, we are
proposing its removal. In addition, we
are also proposing the redesignation of
paragraph (l)(2)(iii) of § 177.834 to
paragraph (l)(2)(ii).
Section 177.838
Section 177.838 establishes specific
operational requirements for the
transportation of Class 4 (flammable
solid) materials, Class 5 (oxidizing)
materials, and Division 4.2 (self-heating
and pyrophoric liquid) materials.
Notwithstanding the segregation
requirements of § 177.848(d), SP 11373
authorizes the transport on the same
transport vehicle of Sodium
hydrosulfite or sodium dithionite,
UN1384, in Packing Group II or III;
Thiourea dioxide, UN33341, in Packing
Group II or III; and Self-heating, solid,
organic, n.o.s., UN3088, in Packing
Group II or III, with Class 8 materials.
The SP prescribes packaging and
separation requirements. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation
conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it
would provide flexibility in highway
operations while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to revise the title of § 177.838
and add a new paragraph (i) to § 177.838
to adopt the provisions of SP 11373 in
its entirety.
Section 177.840
Section 177.840 establishes specific
operational requirements for the
transportation of Class 2 (gases)
materials. Notwithstanding the
segregation requirements of
§ 177.848(d), SP 11043 authorizes the
transport on the same transport vehicle
of Division 2.3, Hazard Zone A
materials with materials classed as
Division 2.1, Class 3, Class 4, Class 5,
and Class 8. The SP prescribes
packaging, marking, separation
requirements.
Notwithstanding the segregation
requirements of § 177.848(d), SP 14335
authorizes the transport on the same
transport vehicle of Division 2.3, Hazard
Zone A materials with specification
non-bulk packagings and IBCs
containing only the residue of Division
2.1, 4.3, 5.1, and Class 3 and 8 materials.
The SP prescribes separation and

Section 177.841
Section 177.841 establishes specific
operational requirements for the
transportation of Division 6.1 and
Division 2.3 materials. Notwithstanding
the segregation requirements of

Packing Group I, Hazard Zone A
materials must be loaded on pallets and
separated from the Class 3, Class 4,
Class 5, and Class 8 materials by a
minimum horizontal distance of 2.74 m
(9 feet). Based on our review, the fact
that transportation conducted under this
SP has an acceptable safety record, and
adopting it would provide flexibility in
highway operations while maintaining
an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to add a new paragraph (f) to
§ 177.841 to adopt the provisions of SP

F. Non-Bulk Packaging Specifications/
IBCs
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Part 172
Section 172.101
The § 172.101 HMT designates the
materials listed therein as hazardous
materials for the purpose of
transportation of those materials. For
each listed material, the HMT identifies
the hazard class or specifies that the
material is forbidden in transportation,
and gives the proper shipping name or
directs the user to the preferred proper
shipping name. In addition, the HMT
specifies or references requirements in
this subchapter pertaining to labeling,
packaging, quantity limits aboard
aircraft, and stowage of hazardous
materials aboard vessels. We are
proposing to revise several entries in the
HMT to adopt SPs relating to non-bulk
packagings and IBCs. Specifically, for
‘‘UN1415, Lithium,’’ ‘‘UN2257,
Potassium,’’ ‘‘UN3190, Self-heating
solid, inorganic, n.o.s.,’’ ‘‘UN1428,
Sodium,’’ ‘‘UN1381, Phosphorus,
yellow, under water’’ and ‘‘UN2813,
Water-reactive solid, n.o.s.’’ for Packing
Groups II and III, we are proposing to

Jkt 235001
add a reference to § 173.151 to provide
packaging exceptions for relevant
Hazard Class 4 materials. These
proposed revisions are discussed below.
Part 173
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 provides specific
packaging requirements for explosives.
DOT–SP 12335 authorizes the
transportation in commerce by motor
vehicle, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft
when authorized in the HMT and
passenger-carrying aircraft, when
authorized for carriage by hazmat table
and used exclusively to transport
personnel to remote work sites of
certain Division 1.1D and 1.4D
detonating cords without the ends being
sealed in alternative packaging,
provided that the inner packaging
containing the detonating cord is made
of a static-resistant plastic bag of at least
3 mil thickness and the bag is securely
closed for transportation. We have noted
nine violations related to shipments
moving under DOT–SP 12335. However,
the violations did not involve safety
issues with the permit. Thus, we
propose to adopt the provisions of the
SP in its entirety in § 173.62.
Section 173.150
Section 173.150 provides exceptions
from the HMR for certain Class 3
flammable liquid material. This section
includes exceptions for limited
quantities, consumer commodities,
alcoholic beverages, aqueous solutions
of alcohol and combustible liquids. In
this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to add
a paragraph (h) to include an exception
that would permit Diesel fuel (UN1202
or NA1993) and Gasoline (UN1203) to
be transported one way, by motor
vehicle, directly from the loading
location to an equipment repair facility
in non-specification non-bulk
packaging, known as a gasoline
dispenser. Specifically, shipments
wishing to use this exception would be
required to transport the material in a
gasoline dispenser and prior to loading,
each dispenser must be capped or
plugged all product inlet and outlet
piping, so that no fluid may be released
during transportation. Furthermore, no
dispenser may contain more than 2
gallons of gasoline, and each dispenser
must be blocked, braced or strapped to
the motor vehicle to prevent movement
during transportation. This revision is
proposed to adopt DOT–SP 13217.
Based on our review, the fact the SP has
no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
PO 00000
Frm 00085
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
5423
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.150.
Section 173.151
Section 173.151 provides exceptions
for Class 4 materials. In this NPRM we
are proposing to add new paragraph (e)
that would except ‘‘Lithium, UN1415,’’
‘‘Potassium, UN2257,’’ and ‘‘Sodium,
UN1428,’’ with a net quantity of
material per inner packaging not
exceeding 25 grams, from the labeling
requirements of Part 172, Subpart E and
the placarding requirements of Part 172
Subpart F, if they are offered for
transportation or transported in the
packagings with conditions set forth in
that paragraph. We are also establishing
new paragraph (f) to authorize shipment
of Self-heating solid, inorganic, n.o.s, in
unlined, non-DOT specification multiwall paper bags containing a maximum
of 55 pounds (net) weight. We are
further adding new paragraph (g) to
authorize Water reactive solid, n.o.s.
(contains magnesium, magnesium
nitrides) in Packing Group II or III to be
contained in sift-proof bulk packagings.
These revisions would adopt DOT–SP
11602, 13796, and 15373.
DOT–SP 11602 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of certain
Division 4.3 materials contained in siftproof closed bulk packagings that
prevent that prevent water from
reaching the hazmat and have sufficient
venting to preclude a dangerous
accumulation of gaseous emissions.
Based on our review, the fact the SP has
no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.151.
DOT–SP 13796 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of
‘‘UN1381, Phosphorus, yellow, under
water,’’ in a 30 gallon UN 1A2 steel
drum certified as a minimum to the PG
I performance level for solids and the
PG II performance level for liquids and
as a minimum dual marked as a
UN1A2/X400/S (for solid) and UN1A2
Y/1.4/150 (for liquids). Based on our
review, the fact the SP has no violations
or reported incidents, and that its
adoption would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.151.
DOT–SP 15373 authorizes the
manufacture, mark, sale and use of the
specially designed combination
packagings described herein for
transportation in commerce of
‘‘UN1415, Lithium,’’ ‘‘UN2257,
Potassium,’’ and ‘‘UN1428, Sodium8,’’
without hazard labels or placards, with
quantity limits not exceeding 25 grams.

Based on our review, the fact the SP has
no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.151.
Section 173.154
Section 173.154 provides exceptions
for Class 8, corrosive materials. We are
proposing to establish a new paragraph
(b)(3) to authorize polyethylene bottles
with rated capacities of one gallon
(3.785 liters), packed inside an opentop, heavy wall, high density
polyethylene box for shipping Packing
Group II and III corrosives. We are also
proposing to establish new paragraph (e)
to authorize hydrochloric acid
concentration not exceeding 38%, in
Packing Group II to be contained in
UN31H1 or UN31HH1 intermediate
bulk containers when loaded in
accordance with the requirements of
§ 173.35(h). These revisions would
adopt DOT–SP 6614, 12030, and 14137.
DOT–SP 6614 authorizes the use of
polyethylene bottles placed in a
polyethylene crate for the transportation
in commerce of ‘‘Compounds, cleaning
liquid (consisting of solutions
containing potassium hydroxide,
hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid),
NA1760, PG II or III,’’ ‘‘Corrosive liquid,
basic, inorganic, n.o.s. (Potassium
hydroxide), PG II, and Corrosive liquid,
basic, inorganic, n.o.s. (Sodium
hydroxide), PG II, UN3266,’’ ‘‘Corrosive
liquid, acidic, inorganic, n.o.s.
(Phosphoric acid and Nitric acid),
UN3264, PG II’’ ‘‘Corrosive liquid,
acidic, organic, n.o.s. (Glycolic acid),
UN3265, PG III’’ ‘‘Hypochlorite
solutions, UN1791, PG III,’’
‘‘Hydrochloric acid solution (with not
over 32% strength), UN1789, PG II’’ and
‘‘Sulfuric acid (with not more than 51%
acid), UN2796, PG II.’’ PHMSA has on
file sixty-seven violations related to
shipments moving under DOT–SP 6614.
However, the violations did not involve
safety issues with the permit. We are
proposing to adopt the permit, and
extend it to all corrosive materials of
Packing Groups II or III based on the
history of no violations involving safety
issues and no reported incidents.
DOT–SP 12030 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of a
combination packaging with a
maximum gross weight not over 37.0 kg,
consisting of one UN6HG2 composite
packaging containing battery fluid and
one UN4G fiberboard box containing a
dry storage battery. The UN6HG2
composite packaging has a maximum
capacity of 8.0 liters and is marked as
meeting the requirement for Packaging
Group II. Based on our review, the fact
VerDate Sep<11>2014

the SP has no violations or reported
incidents, and adopting it would
expand the general applicability in a
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt
its provisions in its entirety in a new
paragraph (f) in § 173.154.
DOT–SP 14137 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of certain
hydrochloric acid solutions in UN31H1
or UN31HH1 when loaded in
conformance with the requirements in
§ 173.35(h) and the hydrochloric acid
concentration does not exceed 38%.
Based on our review, the fact the SP has
no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.154.
Section 173.158
Section 173.158 provides general
requirements and exceptions for
shipments and packagings of nitric acid.
In this NPRM, we are proposing to
establish a new paragraph (i) to
authorize ‘‘Nitric acid of up to 40%
concentration’’ in a UN1H1 nonremovable head plastic drums with
certain conditions set forth in that
paragraph and add new paragraph (j) for
the transportation of ‘‘Nitric acid, other
than red fuming, with more than 70%
nitric acid’’ and ‘‘Nitric acid, other than
red fuming, with not more than 70%
nitric acid’’ in a combination packaging
when offered for transportation or
transported by rail, highway, or cargo
vessel. These proposed revisions would
adopt DOT–SP 8230 and 14213.
DOT–SP 8230 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of Packing
Groups I and II nitric acids in certain
combination packagings by motor
vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel and
cargo-only aircraft. Specifically, ‘‘Nitric
acid, other than red fuming, with more
than 70% nitric acid’’ and ‘‘Nitric acid,
other than red fuming, with not more
than 70% nitric acid’’ is authorized to
be transported in inner plastic bottles in
rigid foam plastic receptacles or plastic
bags lined absorbent material in outer
packagings. Based on our review, the
fact the SP has no violations or reported
incidents, and adopting it would
expand the general applicability in a
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt
its provisions in its entirety in
§ 173.158.
DOT–SP 14213 authorizes the
manufacture, marking, sale and use of
UN1H1 plastic drums to be used for the
transportation in commerce of nitric
acid with not more than 40% nitric
acid. Based on our review, the fact the

Section 173.159
Section 173.159 provides packaging
and shipping specifications and
exceptions for wet batteries. We are
proposing to revise paragraph (e) to
include both shipments of electric
storage batteries containing electrolyte
or corrosive battery fluid, and electric
storage batteries and battery acid. This
change would adopt DOT–SP 13548.
DOT–SP 13548 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of lead acid
batteries and packages of battery acid
with two different UN numbers on the
same motor vehicle with the packages
secured against movement. Based on
our review, the fact the SP has no
violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its
entirety in § 173.159.
Section 173.181
Section 173.181 sets forth packaging
and shipping requirements for
Pyrophoric materials (liquids). In this
NPRM, we are proposing to add new
paragraph (d) to authorize the
transportation in commerce of certain
pyrophoric materials in a combination
package consisting of UN1A2 outer
package and a UN1A1 inner package.
This revision would adopt DOT–SP
12920.
DOT–SP 12920 authorizes the
transportation in commerce of certain
pyrophoric materials in a combination
package consisting of UN1A2 outer
package and a UN1A1 inner package,
with no more than two (2) inner drums
placed inside the outer drum. PHMSA
has on file six violations related to
shipments moving under DOT–SP
12920. However, the violations did not
involve safety issues with the permit;
rather, they pertained to noncompliance with the permit or the HMR.
Based on our review, the fact the SP has
no violations involving safety issues
with the permit and no reported
incidents, and adopting it would
expand the general applicability in a
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt
its provisions in its entirety in
§ 173.181.
V. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This
Rulemaking
This rulemaking is issued under the
authority of the Federal hazardous
materials transportation law (49 U.S.C.
5101 et seq.). Section 5103(b) authorizes
E:\FR\FM\30JAP3.SGM
30JAP3
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
asabaliauskas on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
the Secretary of Transportation to
prescribe regulations for the safe
transportation, including security, of
hazardous materials in intrastate,
interstate, and foreign commerce. This
rulemaking proposes adoption of certain
special permits into the hazardous
materials regulations.
B. Executive Order 12866, Executive
Order 13563, Executive Order 13610,
and DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures
This proposed rulemaking is not
considered a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866
(‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’), as
supplemented and reaffirmed by
Executive Order 13563 (‘‘Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review’’),
stressing that, to the extent permitted by
law, an agency rulemaking action must
be based on benefits that justify its
costs, impose the least burden, consider
cumulative burdens, maximize benefits,
use performance objectives, and assess
available alternatives, and the
Regulatory Policies and Procedures of
the Department of Transportation (44 FR
11034). Executive Orders 12866 and
13563 require agencies to regulate in the
‘‘most cost-effective manner,’’ to make a
‘‘reasoned determination that the
benefits of the intended regulation
justify its costs,’’ and to develop
regulations that ‘‘impose the least
burden on society.’’
Executive Order 13610, issued May
10, 2012, urges agencies to conduct
retrospective analyses of existing rules
to examine whether they remain
justified and whether they should be
modified or streamlined in light of
changed circumstances, including the
rise of new technologies. By building off
of each other, these three Executive
Orders require agencies to regulate in
the ‘‘most cost-effective manner,’’ to
make a ‘‘reasoned determination that
the benefits of the intended regulation
justify its costs,’’ and to develop
regulations that ‘‘impose the least
burden on society.’’
In this notice of proposed rulemaking,
PHMSA is proposing to amend the HMR
to adopt provisions contained in certain
widely-used or long-standing SPs that
have an established safety record. The
proposed revisions are intended to
provide wider access to the regulatory
flexibility offered in SPs and eliminate
the need for numerous renewal requests,
thus reducing paperwork burdens and
facilitating commerce while maintaining
an appropriate level of safety. PHMSA
assumes that for most regulated entities
in these categories, the revisions
proposed in this notice of proposed
rulemaking requires little or no change
VerDate Sep<11>2014
21:51 Jan 29, 2015
Jkt 235001
to existing practice or behavior and
incremental compliance costs will thus
be close to zero. At the same time, the
potential for additional safety benefits is
also very limited in these cases, as
existing practice and operations are
already minimizing the number of
incidents.
Estimated benefits associated with
this rule result from the regulated
community no longer being required to
apply for SP sand amount to
approximately $12,000 annually. Costs
associated with the rule are estimated to
be negligible annually. Current SP
holders are already complying with the
proposed requirements and, if adopted,
these requirements would not impose
new requirements on current nonholders of SPs. The overall costs and
benefits of the rule are dependent on the
level of pre-existing compliance and the
overall effectiveness of the new
requirements specified in this
rulemaking
C. Executive Order 13132
This notice of proposed rulemaking
has been analyzed in accordance with
the principles and criteria contained in
Executive Order 13132 (‘‘Federalism’’),
64 FR 43255 (Aug. 10, 1999) and the
President’s May 20, 2009 memorandum
(74 FR 24693 [May 22, 2009]). The
requirements in this proposed rule
would preempt state, local, and Indian
tribe requirements but would not have
substantial direct effects on the States,
the relationship between the national
government and the States, or the
distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various
levels of government. Therefore, the
consultation and funding requirements
of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
The Federal hazardous materials
transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101 et
seq., contains an express preemption
provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b))
preempting State, local, and Indian tribe
requirements on the following subjects:
(1) The designation, description, and
classification of hazardous materials;
(2) The packing, repacking, handling,
labeling, marking, and placarding of
hazardous materials;
(3) The preparation, execution, and
use of shipping documents related to
hazardous materials and requirements
related to the number, contents, and
placement of those documents;
(4) The written notification,
recording, and reporting of the
unintentional release in transportation
of hazardous material; or
(5) The design, manufacture,
fabrication, marking, maintenance,
recondition, repair, or testing of a
packaging or container represented,
PO 00000
Frm 00087
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
5425
marked, certified, or sold as qualified
for use in transporting hazardous
material.
Federal hazardous materials
transportation law provides at 49 U.S.C.
5125(b)(2) that, if DOT issues a
regulation concerning any of these
subjects, DOT must determine and
publish in the Federal Register the
effective date of Federal preemption.
The effective date may not be earlier
than the 90th day following the date of
issuance of the final rule and not later
than 2 years after the date of issuance.
This proposed rule would address
subject areas (1), (2), (3), and (5) above
and would preempt any state, local, or
Indian tribe requirements concerning
these subjects unless the non-Federal
requirements are ‘‘substantively the
same’’ as the Federal requirements. The
effective date of Federal preemption is
April 30, 2015.
D. Executive Order 13175
This notice of proposed rulemaking
has been analyzed in accordance with
the principles and criteria contained in
Executive Order 13175 (‘‘Consultation
and Coordination with Indian Tribal
Governments’’). Because this NPRM
does not have tribal implications and
does not impose substantial direct
compliance costs, the funding and
consultation requirements of Executive
Order 13175 do not apply.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive
Order 13272, and DOT Procedures and
Policies
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an agency to
review regulations to assess their impact
on small entities unless the agency
determines that a rule is not expected to
have a significant impact on a
substantial number of small entities.
The primary costs to small entities
associated with this proposed rule
include developing and updating a risk
assessment, developing and updating
operating procedures, and additional
training for hazmat employees who
perform loading and unloading
operations.
PHMSA expects the impacts of this
rule will be limited for many small
entities due to their compliance with
other existing Federal regulations. In
this notice of proposed rulemaking,
PHMSA also explicitly acknowledges
that many regulated entities are holders
of SPs or are part of industry
associations with voluntary codes of
safe practice, and that these may be
sufficient for compliance with the
proposed rule as long as all of the
relevant safety areas are addressed and
documented. For regulated entities in
E:\FR\FM\30JAP3.SGM
30JAP3
5426
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 20 / Friday, January 30, 2015 / Proposed Rules
these categories, the notice of proposed
rulemaking requires little or no change
to existing practices or behavior and
incremental compliance costs will thus
be close to zero. Therefore, the benefit
and cost figures discussed below should
be viewed as upper bounds, both of
which will be reduced by the extent of
current practice.
PHMSA estimates that there are 50
potentially affected small entities. The
annualized documentation cost for
developing and updating the risk
assessment and the operating
procedures is estimated to be $375/
small entity. The annualized cost of
additional training for affected
employees is estimated to be
approximately $5.50/employee. Further,
PHMSA estimates that approximately
50% of small businesses are already
implementing procedures that would be
compliant with this notice of proposed
rulemaking. Based upon the above
estimates and assumptions, PHMSA
certifies that this notice of proposed
rulemaking does not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities. Further
information on the estimates and
assumptions used to evaluate the
potential impacts to small entities is
available in the Regulatory Impact
Assessment that has been placed in the
public docket for this rulemaking.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
PHMSA currently has an approved
information collection under OMB
Control No. 2137–0051, entitled
‘‘Special Permits and Approvals,’’
expiring on May 31, 2015. Section
1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations, requires PHMSA to provide
interested members of the public and
affected agencies an opportunity to
comment on information collection and
recordkeeping requests. This
rulemaking adds new exceptions to the
HMR while eliminating the need for
persons to apply for a SP, resulting in
a decrease in burden. PHMSA estimates
the reduction in information collection
burden as follows:

There are 728 grantees associated
with the 98 special permits being
proposed for adoption in this
rulemaking. Over 10 years, a SP would
on average be renewed twice, resulting
in 1,456 renewals (728 × 2). The average
number of applications per year would
be approximately 146 (1,456/10). The
annual estimated cost savings would
total $12,337.00 (146 number of
renewals per year × $39.50/hr.
preparation cost; 146 renewals per year
× $45.00/hr compliance cost).
Please direct your requests for a copy
of this final information collection to

Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
(PHH–12), Pipeline and Hazardous
Materials Safety Administration, 1200
New Jersey Avenue SE., 2nd Floor,
Washington, DC 20590–0001.
G. 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
year. The RIN contained in the heading
of this document can be used to crossreference this action with the Unified
Agenda.
H. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This notice of proposed rulemaking
does not impose unfunded mandates
under the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995. PHMSA has concluded that
the rule will not impose annual
expenditures of $141.3 million on State,
local, or tribal governments or the
VerDate Sep<11>2014

private sector, and thus does not require
an Unfunded Mandates Act analysis.
I. Executive Order 13609 and
International Trade Analysis
Under E.O. 13609, agencies must
consider whether the impacts associated
with significant variations between
domestic and international regulatory
approaches are unnecessary or may
impair the ability of American business
to export and compete internationally.
In meeting shared challenges involving
health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues,
international regulatory cooperation can
identify approaches that are at least as
protective as those that are or would be
adopted in the absence of such
cooperation. International regulatory
cooperation can also reduce, eliminate,
or prevent unnecessary differences in
regulatory requirements.
Similarly, the Trade Agreements Act
of 1979 (Pub. L. 96–39), as amended by
the Uruguay Round Agreements Act
(Pub. L. 103–465), prohibits Federal
agencies from establishing any
standards or engaging in related
activities that create unnecessary
obstacles to the foreign commerce of the
United States. For purposes of these
requirements, Federal agencies may
participate in the establishment of
international standards, so long as the
standards have a legitimate domestic
objective, such as providing for safety,
and do not operate to exclude imports
that meet this objective. The statute also
requires consideration of international

$12,337.00
standards and, where appropriate, that
they be the basis for U.S. standards.
PHMSA participates in the
establishment of international standards
in order to protect the safety of the
American public, and we have assessed
the effects of the proposed rule to
ensure that it does not cause
unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade.
Accordingly, this rulemaking is
consistent with E.O. 13609 and
PHMSA’s obligations under the Trade
Agreement Act, as amended.
J. Environmental Assessment
PHMSA proposes to adopt provisions
contained in certain widely-used or
long-standing SPs that have an
established safety record. The proposed
revisions are intended to provide wider
access to the regulatory flexibility
offered in SPs and eliminate the need
for numerous renewal requests, thus
reducing paperwork burdens and
facilitating commerce while maintaining
an appropriate level of safety.
The National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321–4375,
requires that federal agencies analyze
proposed actions to determine whether
the action will have a significant impact
on the human environment. The
Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ) regulations order federal agencies
to conduct an environmental review
considering (1) the need for the
proposed action (2) alternatives to the
proposed action (3) probable
environmental impacts of the proposed
action and alternatives and (4) the
agencies and persons consulted during

the consideration process. 40 CFR
1508.9(b). A detailed NEPA assessment
has been placed in the docket for this
rulemaking for public review.
K. Privacy Act
Anyone is able to search the
electronic form of any written
communications and comments
received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the
document (or signing the document, if
submitted on behalf of an association,
business, labor union, etc.). You may
review DOT’s complete Privacy Act
Statement in the Federal Register
published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR
19477) which may be viewed at:
https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-200004-11/pdf/00-8505.pdf.
L. National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act
The National Technology Transfer
and Advancement Act of 1995 (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs federal agencies
to use voluntary consensus standards in
their regulatory activities unless doing
so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical.
Voluntary consensus standards are
technical standards (e.g. specification of
materials, test methods, or performance
requirements) that are developed or
adopted by voluntary consensus
standard bodies.
This proposed rulemaking does not
involve voluntary consensus standards.

(iii) Liquid fill. The liquid content of
the material and gas must not
completely fill the container at 55 °C
(131 °F).
(iv) Outer packaging. The containers
must be packed in strong outer
packagings.
(v) Pressure testing. Each container,
after it is filled, must be subjected to a
test performed in a hot water bath; the
temperature of the bath and the duration
of the test must be such that the internal
pressure reaches that which would be
reached at 55 °C (131 °F), or 50 °C
(122 °F) if the liquid phase does not
exceed 95% of the capacity of the
container at 50 °C (122 °F)). If the
contents are sensitive to heat, the
temperature of the bath must be set at
between 20 °C (68 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F)
but, in addition, one container in 2,000
must be tested at the higher
temperature. No leakage or permanent
deformation of a container may occur.
However, instead of this standard water
bath test, container(s) may be tested
using one of the following methods
subject to certain conditions—
(A) Alternative water bath test. (1)
One filled container in a lot of 2,000
must be subjected to a test performed in
a hot water bath; the temperature of the
bath and the duration of the test must
be such that the internal pressure
reaches that which would be reached at
55 °C (131 °F). If the container shows
evidence of leakage or permanent
deformation, the lot of 2,000 containers
must be rejected;
(2) A second filled container in the lot
of 2,000 must be weighed and compared
to the weight specification for the
containers as documented in the
operating procedures for the weight test.
Failure of the container to meet the
weight specification is evidence of
leakage or overfilling and the lot of
2,000 must be rejected;
(3) The remainder of the containers in
the lot of 2,000 must be visually
inspected (e.g, examination of the
seams). Containers showing evidence of
leakage or overfilling must not be
transported; and
(4) Each person employing this test
must maintain a copy of the operating
procedures (or an electronic file thereof)
that is accessible at, or through, its
principal place of business and must
make the procedures available upon
request, at a reasonable time and
location, to an authorized official of the
Department of Transportation.
(B) Automated pressure test. Each
person employing an automated process
for pressure testing of filled containers
must develop procedures for
implementation of the test. Each person
must maintain a copy of the procedures

Jkt 235001
(or an electronic file thereof) that is
accessible at, or through, its principal
place of business and must make the
procedures available upon request, at a
reasonable time and location, to an
authorized official of the Department of
Transportation. The procedures must, at
a minimum, include instruction on the
following:
(1) Pressure specifications. Each
person must specify pressure
standard(s) (e.g. a pressure limit or
range) for a container respective of the
design and/or contents. Each container,
after it is filled, must be pressure
checked and compared to the standards.
For a pressure limit, any container
exceeding the pressure limit must be
rejected. For a pressure range, any
container outside of the set range must
be rejected. The instruments used to
determine the pressure must be properly
calibrated before a production run to an
accuracy of +/- or better; and
(2) Periodic inspection. At designated
intervals, a randomly selected container
must be inspected for proper closure
and verification of filling pressure. If a
container shows signs of improper
closure or over-filling, five (5)
additional randomly selected containers
must be inspected. If any of the
additional containers show signs of
improper closure or over-filling, all
containers produced since the last
inspection must be rejected.
(C) Weight test. Each person
employing a weight test of filled
containers must develop procedures for
implementation of the test. Each person
must maintain a copy of the procedures
(or an electronic file thereof) that is
accessible at, or through, its principal
place of business and must make the
procedures available upon request, at a
reasonable time and location, to an
authorized official of the Department of
Transportation. The procedures must, at
a minimum, include instruction on the
following:
(1) Weight specifications. Each person
must specify target weight specifications
for a particular container. Each
container, after it is filled, must be
weighed and compared to the target
weight specification for the container.
Any container outside the target weight
specification is an indication of leakage
or overfilling and must be rejected. The
instruments used to determine the
weight must be properly calibrated
before a testing run and be sufficiently
sensitive to measure within 0.10 g of the
true weight of the container;
(2) Heat testing and pressure limits.
One container out of each lot of
successfully filled containers must be
heat tested by raising the internal
pressure until it reaches that which
PO 00000
Frm 00102
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
would be reached at 55 °C (131 °F). The
lot size should be no greater than 2,000.
If the pressure in the container exceeds
the maximum pressure allowed for the
container type or if the container shows
signs of leakage or permanent
deformation, the lot must be rejected.
Alternatively, five (5) additional
randomly selected containers from the
lot may be tested to qualify the lot but
if any of the five containers fail the test,
the entire lot must be rejected;
(3) Periodic inspection. At designated
intervals, a randomly selected container
must be inspected for proper closure
and verification of filling pressure. If a
container shows signs of improper
closure or over-filling, five (5)
additional randomly selected containers
must be inspected. If any of the
additional containers show signs of
improper closure or over-filling, all
containers produces since the last
inspection must be rejected; and
(4) Visual inspection. Each container
must be visually inspected prior to
being packaged. Any container showing
signs of leakage or permanent
deformation must be rejected.
(D) Leakage test. (1) Pressure and leak
testing before filling. Each empty
container must be subjected to a
pressure equal to or in excess of the
maximum expected in the filled
containers at 55 °C (131 °F) (or 50 °C
(122 °F) if the liquid phase does not
exceed 95% of the capacity of the
container at 50 °C (122 °F)). This must
be at least two-thirds of the design
pressure of the container. If any
container shows evidence of leakage at
a rate equal to or greater than 3.3 ×
10¥2 mbar L/s at the test pressure,
distortion or other defect, it must be
rejected; and
(2) Testing after filling. The person
filling each container must ensure that
the crimping equipment is set
appropriately and the specified
propellant is used before filling a
container. Once filled, each container
must be weighed and leak tested. The
leak detection equipment must be
sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a
leak rate of 2.0 × 10¥3 mbar L/s at 20
°C (68 °F). Any filled container which
shows evidence of leakage, deformation,
or overfilling must be rejected.
(vi) Each outer packaging must be
marked ‘‘INSIDE CONTAINERS
COMPLY WITH PRESCRIBED
REGULATIONS.’’
(4) When in gas samples transported
under the following conditions:
(i) A gas sample may only be
transported as non-pressurized gas
when its pressure corresponding to
ambient atmospheric pressure in the

container is not more than 105 kPa
absolute (15.22 psia).
(ii) Non-pressurized gases, toxic (or
toxic and flammable) must be packed in
hermetically sealed glass or metal inner
packagings of not more than one L (0.3
gallons) overpacked in a strong outer
packaging.
(iii) Non-pressurized gases, flammable
must be packed in hermetically sealed
glass or metal inner packagings of not
more than 5 L (1.3 gallons) and
overpacked in a strong outer packaging.
(5) For limited quantities of Division
2.2 gases with no subsidiary risk, when
in a plastic aerosol (see § 171.8 of this
subchapter for a definition of aerosol)
container of a non-DOT specification or
a DOT 2S, provided all of the following
conditions are met. Additional
exceptions for material in packaging
conforming to this paragraph (a)(5) are
provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
(i) Capacity. The capacity of the
container must not exceed 1 L (61.0
cubic inches).

(ii) General pressure conditions. The
authorized plastic aerosol containers
and associated pressure limits are
provided in the following table. The
pressure in the container must not
exceed 160 psig at 55 °C (131 °F) except
as may be authorized for variations, if
any, of a DOT specification container
type. In any event, the metal container
must be capable of withstanding
without bursting a pressure of at least
one and one-half times the equilibrium
pressure of the contents at 55 °C
(131 °F).

(iii) Liquid fill. Liquid content of the
material and gas must not completely
fill the container at 55 °C (131 °F).
(iv) Outer packaging. The containers
must be packed in strong outer
packagings.
(v) Pressure testing. Except as
provided in paragraph (a)(5)(vi) of this
section, each container must be
subjected to a test performed in a hot
water bath; the temperature of the bath
and the duration of the test must be
such that the internal pressure reaches
that which would be reached at 55 °C
(131 °F) or 50 °C (122 °F) if the liquid
phase does not exceed 95% of the
capacity of the container at 50 °C
(122 °F). If the contents are sensitive to
heat, or if the container is made of
plastic material which softens at this
test temperature, the temperature of the
bath must be set at between 20 °C
(68 °F) and 30 °C (86 °F) but, in
addition, one container in 2,000 must be
tested at the higher temperature. No
leakage or permanent deformation of a
container may occur except that a
plastic container may be deformed
through softening provided that it does
not leak.
(vi) Leakage test. As an alternative to
the hot water bath test in paragraph
(a)(5)(v) of this section, testing may be
performed as follows:
(A) Pressure and leak testing before
filling. Each empty container must be
subjected to a pressure equal to or in
excess of the maximum expected in the
filled containers at 55 °C (131 °F) (or 50
°C (122 °F) if the liquid phase does not
exceed 95% of the capacity of the
container at 50 °C (122 °F). This must be
at least two-thirds of the design pressure
of the container. If any container shows
evidence of leakage at a rate equal to or
greater than 3.3 × 10¥2 mbar L/s at the
test pressure, distortion or other defect,
it must be rejected; and
(B) Testing after filling. Prior to
filling, the filler must ensure that the
crimping equipment is set appropriately
and the specified propellant is used
before filling the container. Once filled,
each container must be weighed and
leak tested. The leak detection
equipment must be sufficiently sensitive
to detect at least a leak rate of 2.0 ×
10¥3 mbar L/s at 20 °C (68 °F). Any
filled container which shows evidence
of leakage, deformation, or excessive
weight must be rejected.
(vii) Each outer packaging must be
marked ‘‘INSIDE CONTAINERS
COMPLY WITH PRESCRIBED
REGULATIONS.’’
(b) Exceptions for foodstuffs, soap,
biologicals, electronic tubes, and
audible fire alarm systems. Limited
quantities of compressed gases (except
Division 2.3 gases) for which exceptions
are provided as indicated by reference
to this section in § 172.101 of this
subchapter, when in accordance with
one of the following paragraphs, are
excepted from labeling, except when
offered for transportation or transported

(g) The valve cap, or the reducer when
a large outlet is to be used, must be
removed with a suitable wrench after
the set screws are loosened and a pail
must be placed in position to catch any
liquid that may be in the outlet
chamber. If the valve cap or reducer
does not unscrew easily, it may be
tapped lightly with a mallet or wooden
block in an upward direction. If leakage
shows upon starting the removal, the
cap or reducer may not be entirely
unscrewed. Sufficient threads must be
left engaged and sufficient time allowed
to permit controlled escape of any
accumulation of liquid in the outlet
chamber. If the leakage stops or the rate
of leakage diminishes materially, the
cap or reducer may be entirely removed.
If the initial rate of leakage continues,
further efforts must be made to seat the
outlet valve (see paragraph (f) of this
section). If this fails, the cap or reducer
must be screwed up tight and the tank
must be unloaded through the dome. If
upon removal of the outlet cap the
outlet chamber is found to be blocked
with frozen liquid or any other matter,
the cap must be replaced immediately

and a careful examination must be made
to determine whether the outlet casting
has been cracked. If the obstruction is
not frozen liquid, the car must be
unloaded through the dome. If the
obstruction is frozen liquid and no crack
has been found in the outlet casting, the
car may, if circumstances require it, be
unloaded from the bottom by removing
the cap and attaching unloading
connections immediately. Before
opening the valve inside the tank car
with a frozen liquid blockage:
(1) Steam must be applied to the
outside of the outlet casting or wrap
casting with burlap or other rags and
apply hot water to the wrapped casting
to melt the frozen liquid; or
(2) For combustible liquid or Class 3
liquid petroleum distillate fuels the
blockage may be cleared by attaching a
fitting to the outlet line and applying
nitrogen at a pressure of 50 to 100 psi.

The proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the
regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and eliminate the
need for numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and
facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.
PHMSA conducted an extensive analysis of all active special permits
and, in this rulemaking, those special permits deemed suitable are
being proposed for adoption. PHMSA is inviting all interested persons
to provide comments on both those special permits deemed suitable and
proposed to be adopted into the HMR and those that are deemed not
suitable for adoption. In addition, PHMSA is also requesting comments
on a proposed requirement for special permit applicants to include
regulatory text in their applications, when appropriate.
DATES: Comments must be received by March 31, 2015.

I. Executive Summary
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171-180) by adopting requirements contained in 98 existing
special permits (SP). This proposal is based on our review of all
active SPs as of January 1, 2013, in which we identified 98 SPs
containing requirements which appear suitable for adoption into the HMR
as regulations of general applicability. Other SPs are not being
proposed for adoption into the HMR because we concluded they contain
requirements which (1) would not have, or are being applied in a manner
which would not have, broad applicability; or (2) have already been
adopted into the HMR, are covered by authorizations in the HMR, or are
being addressed in other rulemakings.
We encourage all interested parties, particularly the holders of
currently active SPs, to submit comments regarding the SPs we are
proposing to adopt into the HMR, the SPs we are not presently proposing
to adopt into the HMR, and our preliminary regulatory impact analysis.
II. Background
PHMSA is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to adopt certain requirements based on
existing SPs issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B
(Sec. Sec. 107.101 to 107.127). SPs set forth alternative
requirements--or a variance--to the requirements in the HMR in a way
that achieves a safety level at least equal to the safety level
required under the regulations, or when the regulations do not
establish a safety level, that is consistent with the public interest.
Congress expressly authorized the Secretary of Transportation to issue
these variances in the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975
(49 U.S.C. 5109) as amended.
[[Page 5341]]
On July 6, 2013 President Obama signed legislation entitled Moving
Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). Section 33012 of
this legislation required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that have
been in continuous effect for a 10-year period to determine which ones
may be converted into the HMR.\1\ The legislation also required PHMSA
to issue regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for
adoption in a final rule by October 1, 2015. The legislation provides
the following factors to consider during review and analysis to
determine suitability for adoption into the HMR:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Although MAP-21 only required PHMSA evaluate SPs that had
been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, PHMSA reviewed all
active SPs as of January 1, 2013.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The safety record of the hazardous materials (hazmat)
transported under the SP;
(2) The application of a SP;
(3) The suitability of the provisions in the SP for incorporation
into the hazmat regulations; and
(4) Rulemaking activity in related areas.
Prior to the passing of the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA had completed
numerous rulemaking actions, through an established and refined
approach, to convert long-standing SPs with an established safety
record into the HMR. Following the passage of the MAP-21 legislation,
PHMSA modified its approach to align with the requirements of this
legislation. Specifically, PHMSA established terms of reference and
baseline criteria for the review of long-standing SPs, created tracking
tools to monitor progress, and adopted a methodology and timeline to
evaluate SPs.
This Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) provides an overview of
the SP Program to date, a detailed review of the requirements of MAP-21
with regard to this initiative, and a comprehensive explanation of the
rationale used to evaluate these SPs both prior to and after the
implementation of MAP-21. Furthermore, based on this rationale, this
NPRM details the SPs that are deemed not suitable for adoption into the
HMR along with the corresponding reasoning, and proposes the adoption
into the HMR of SPs that have been deemed suitable through this review.
The proposals from all the SPs to be adopted have broad applicability,
fit into the scope of the HMR, will increase flexibility in
transportation, and provide an equivalent level of safety to the
current regulations. PHMSA is inviting comments from all interested
parties, particularly SP holders, on both those SPs deemed suitable and
proposed to be adopted and those that are deemed not suitable for
adoption.
III. Overview
A. SPs Program
PHMSA's Approvals and Permits Division \2\ is responsible for the
issuance of DOT SPs and Approvals. A SP sets forth alternative
requirements, or variances, to the requirements in the HMR. Federal
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101-5128) authorizes
PHMSA to issue such variances in a way that achieves a safety level
that is at least equal to the safety level required under Federal
hazmat law or is consistent with the public interest if a required
safety level does not exist. SPs also address unique or infrequent
transportation situations that would be difficult to accommodate in
regulations intended for use by a wide range of shippers and carriers.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/permits-approvals/special-permits
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
SPs are issued by PHMSA under 49 CFR part 107, subpart B
(Sec. Sec. 107.101 to 107.127). The HMR are generally performance-
oriented regulations, and as such, provide the regulated community with
some flexibility in meeting safety requirements. Even so, not every
transportation situation can be anticipated and covered under the
regulations. The hazardous materials community is at the cutting edge
of developing new materials, new technologies, and innovative ways of
moving hazardous materials. Innovation strengthens our economy, and
some new technologies and operational techniques may enhance safety.
Thus, while not compromising safety, SPs provide a mechanism for
testing new technologies, promoting increased transportation efficiency
and productivity, and ensuring global competitiveness. In addition, SPs
enable the hazardous materials industry to safely, quickly, and
effectively integrate new products and technologies into production and
the transportation stream.
PHMSA conducts ongoing reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and
long-standing SPs with established safety records for conversion into
regulations of broader applicability. Converting these SPs into
regulations reduces paperwork burdens for the government and applicants
and facilitates commerce while maintaining safety. Additionally,
adoption of SPs as rules of general applicability provides wider access
to the benefits and regulatory flexibility of the provisions granted in
the SPs. Factors that influence whether or not a specific SP is a
candidate for regulatory action include: the safety record for
hazardous materials transported or operations conducted under a SP;
potential for broad application of a SP; suitability of the provisions
in the SP for adoption into the HMR; rulemaking activity in related
areas; and agency priorities.
Since the inception of the SP program, PHMSA has periodically
reviewed SPs and under various rulemaking actions certain widely-used
or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record have been
adopted or recently proposed for incorporation into the HMR. For
example, PHMSA has adopted or proposed 94 SPs into the HMR since 2008.
These 94 SPs represent a decrease of 13,947 holders of SPs. These
rulemakings are noted in Table 1.

B. MAP-21 Legislation
Section 33012 of the MAP-21 legislation modified Sec. 5117 (f) of
the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law. Specifically, under
the ``SPs and exclusions'' paragraph (f) was revised to read as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ This table represents only published rulemakings since
January 1, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
``(f) Incorporation into regulations.
(1) IN GENERAL--Not later than 1 year after the date on which a SP
has been in continuous effect for a 10-year period, the Secretary shall
conduct a review and analysis of that SP to determine whether it may be
converted into the hazardous materials regulations.
(2) FACTORS--In conducting the review and analysis under paragraph
(1), the Secretary may consider--
(A) the safety record for hazardous materials transported under the
special permit;
(B) the application of a special permit;
(C) the suitability of provisions in the special permit for
incorporation into the hazardous materials regulations; and
[[Page 5343]]
(D) rulemaking activity in related areas.
(3) RULEMAKING--After completing the review and analysis under
paragraph (1) and after providing notice and opportunity for public
comment, the Secretary shall either institute a rulemaking to
incorporate the special permit into the hazardous materials regulations
or publish in the Federal Register the Secretary's justification for
why the special permit is not appropriate for incorporation into the
regulations.''
This modification required PHMSA to review and analyze SPs that
have been in effect for 10 years or more and determine which should be
converted into regulations; set parameters for the review; and issue
regulations to adopt any SPs identified as appropriate for adoption in
a final rule by October 1, 2015. Following the publication of the final
rule, this process would be completed annually to ensure appropriate
SPs are converted into the HMR on a consistent basis.
The legislation also required PHMSA to address other issues related
to the SP and approvals regulations and program processes.
Specifically, PHMSA is required to issue regulations on standard
operating procedures to support administration of the SP and approval
programs. This requirement is being addressed under Docket PHMSA 2012-
0260 (HM-233E) in a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published on
August 12, 2014 [79 FR 47047].

C. SP Conversion Project Methodology
As previously stated, in the past, PHMSA has analyzed, evaluated,
and adopted SPs into the HMR. In addition, PHMSA had already
established an approach to adopt SPs into the HMR. However, the
requirements contained in MAP-21 necessitated that PHMSA modify and
formalize this approach. This section describes the SP Conversion
Project (SPCP) and the methodology used to satisfy the requirements of
MAP-21.
The following table summarizes the different phases of the SPCP.
Specifically, this table briefly discusses the efforts of each phase
and the timeframe in which it was completed. Furthermore, this table
demonstrates how the entire project was divided into the two primary
stages of analysis and rulemaking. Each phase of the SPCP is described
in Table 3.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 1: Development of Methodology
As stated above, prior to the publication of MAP-21, PHMSA
conducted reviews of SPs to identify widely-used and long-standing SPs
with an established safety record for conversion into the HMR for
broader applicability. The SPs suitable for adoption were predominantly
identified by two methods: petitions for rulemaking submitted in
accordance with Sec. 106.105; and through a review of the SP
application by the Approvals and Permits Division staff at the time of
application. Specifically, during the evaluation of a SP application,
the specialist reviewing the application could ``tag'' a SP as a future
candidate for adoption into the regulations. At a later date after a
positive safety record had been established, the SP would be proposed
for adoption in a future rulemaking. This method to adopt SPs, however,
was not conducted on a defined and predictable schedule.
After President Obama signed the MAP-21 legislation, PHMSA modified
its SP conversion practices and developed an overall strategy to
specifically address the aspects of the requirements of MAP-21 that
were not reflected in current procedures. In an effort to address the
specific requirements for SP conversion, PHMSA's Standards and
Rulemaking Division created a SPCP management team. This SPCP
management team developed a methodology to consistently evaluate SPs, a
system to track the analysis, created rulemaking sub-teams, topics and
sub-topic areas to combine similar SPs to be reviewed by the
appropriate subject matter experts (SME) and teams, and established
timelines and milestones.
As MAP-21 included specific deadlines for the various aspects of
the SPCP, PHMSA created an overall project timeline. This timeline was
established by utilizing the Standards and Rulemaking Division's
knowledge of the current rulemaking process and working backwards from
the deadlines required by MAP-21. The timeline was divided into two
main parts; analysis (Phases 1-4) and rulemaking drafting and
coordination (Phases 5-8). Each of these portions of the timeline
included specific deliverables.
Each SP being analyzed was assigned to one of 6 topic areas. These
topic areas were established to reflect the main utility and purpose of
the SP. These topic areas of the SPs, an overview of each topic area,
and the affected number of SP holders are displayed in Table 4.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
These topic areas were then used to develop teams to address each
grouping of SPs. Each topic area was further broken down into sub-topic
areas which reflected the specific area of transportation that the SP
affected. These sub-topic areas included manufacturing, retest, and
use. Breaking down the SPs into topics and sub-topics ensured that the
appropriate SMEs would be reviewing SPs and allowed for more efficient
delegation of the workload.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ For the purposes of this rulemaking Non-Destructive Testing
(NDT) includes Ultrasonic Examination (UE) and Acoustic Emission
(AE).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned above, teams were established based on topic areas to
handle Phase 3 (Team Analysis) and Phase 4 (Drafting) of the SPCP.
Teams were comprised of the appropriate SMEs from the Standards and
Rulemaking Division, the Engineering and Research Division, the
Approvals and Permits Division, Field Operations, the Program
Development Division, the Office of Chief Counsel and our modal
partners, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the United States
Coast Guard (USCG), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). In addition, each
team was assigned a team lead and a team mentor from the SPCP
Management team. The teams met on a frequent basis throughout Phase 3
and Phase 4 to discuss progress on their assignments and to pinpoint
and resolve issues with the SP conversion.
Throughout every phase of the SPCP, the status of all currently
active SPs was tracked in a database designed specifically for this
project. This database detailed the specialist and team assigned to the
review of the SP, the current status of the SP and the code \5\ it was
assigned following completion of the review. This database also tracked
the completion of the drafting of regulatory text for any given SP and
provided a brief summary of the SP. In addition, the SPCP Management
team closely monitored timelines and milestones in a database
specifically tailored to the SPCP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ Each SP was assigned a code that represented a rationale for
the SP being suitable or not suitable for adoption into the HMR.
These codes were based on PHMSA's factors for suitability combined
with the rationales provided in MAP-21.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Phase 2: Preliminary Analysis
MAP-21 specifically mandated PHMSA issue regulations to adopt into
the HMR any SPs that had been in continuous effect for a 10-year period
and that PHMSA determined through its analysis are appropriate for
adoption based on the review factors. While MAP-21 limited this
analysis and review to SPs with a lifespan of greater than 10 years,
PHMSA decided that an initial review of all active SPs would provide a
greater benefit. A complete review of all SPs was conducted because
many of the SPs are interconnected and interrelated. For example, some
SPs are very similar with only minor differences between them and the
inclusion of one SP may justify the inclusion of other similar SPs. In
addition, PHMSA did not want to automatically disqualify a SP from
consideration just because the SP was not in effect for 10 years. A SP
may be extensively used and have an established history of safe use
even if it is less than 10 years old. As MAP-21 also requires the
periodic review of SPs over 10 years of age, PHMSA rationalized that a
larger initial review would considerably streamline and limit the
number of SPs to be evaluated in future reviews.
In January 2013, PHMSA began a systematic review of 1,168 existing
SPs utilizing the criteria required by the MAP-21 legislation to
determine suitability for adoption into the HMR. Transportation
Regulations Specialists within the Standards and Rulemaking Division
were assigned groupings of SPs. Each specialist was given instructions
on how to uniformly and consistently review a SP. For the groups of SPs
assigned, each specialist was instructed to:
Provide a brief summary of each SP;
Identify the key/other regulatory sections of the HMR
affected;
Make a determination on the suitability for adoption
(Guidance was provided on assigning each SP a code relating to its
suitability. These codes are discussed in further detail later in this
document);
Assign the SP to a topic area;
Provide rationale for their findings; and
Account for any recordkeeping issue that they faced.
Specialists then reviewed the SPs and, based on the guidance
developed by the SPCP management team, they made a determination of
which code the SP would be assigned (See Table 5). If specialists had
doubts or concerns about any particular SP, they would assign a
proposed code and flag the SP in the tracking database for second level
mentor review in Phase 3.
In April 2013, the preliminary analysis was completed with roughly
300 SPs deemed suitable for adoption. In addition, approximately 185
SPs were flagged for second level review by the SPCP management team in
Phase 3.
[[Page 5346]]
Phase 3: Mentor Review: Review of SPs Flagged and Not Suitable
From April through May 2013, the rulemaking mentors for each topic
team conducted a second review of all SPs deemed not suitable for
adopting into the HMR (roughly 690 SPs) and those tagged for further
review in the Phase 2 review (185 SPs). Specifically, the mentors
divided the SPs in need of further review among themselves, evaluated
each permit against the requirements of MAP-21, and made a
determination on the SP when possible. If the mentors were unable to
make a determination, the SP remained flagged and the SP topic team
would make a group determination in Phase 4.
Phase 4: Team Analysis
PHMSA then utilized six rulemaking teams, one for each topic area.
As previously stated, each team was composed of a team leader, mentor,
and team members from each PHMSA Division and our modal partners (FAA,
USCG, FRA and FMCSA). Team leaders were tasked with the overall
completion of the topic and the distribution of work assignments.
Mentors were charged with reviewing the teams' data, and providing
edits to ensure the 6 topics were cohesive and would form a complete
and understandable NPRM. The team leaders and mentors of each topic
area were members of the Standards and Rulemaking Division. Each topic
area was handled as if it were its own rulemaking project.
While each team leader approached the team analysis phase in their
own manner, the team members were utilized consistently throughout the
SPCP, regardless of project. For example, modal partners focused on
aspects of proposed SPs specific to their mode of transportation or
aspects of SPs that could have wider implications in their mode. Team
members from the Standards and Rulemaking Division primarily drafted
the regulatory text and rulemaking preamble language. The Engineering
and Research Division focused primarily on the technical aspects of
each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory text, and the
technical implications of the introduction of new technologies that a
SP may provide. The Approvals and Permits Division focused primarily on
the history of each SP, the evaluation and development of regulatory
text and the suitability determinations of the SPs. PHMSA Field
Operations provided a review of enforcement actions of the SPs that
were deemed suitable and assisted in the incident data research of each
SP. The Program Development Division assisted in the review of the
incident data research of the SPs and the evaluation of the cost and
benefit data for the SPs that were deemed suitable. Finally, the Office
of Chief Counsel primarily dealt with the editing of regulatory text
and rulemaking preamble language as well as providing assistance in
completing the regulatory analysis.
Each topic team tracked its status in a database, specifically
noting when regulatory text was completed. The teams also used this
database to record information to be included in the preamble
explanations for each SP. For the SPCP, all draft regulatory text was
completed in September 2013, at which point the team mentors provided
edits and worked with each team to formulate a final version of each
topic. In addition, each team provided a completed document containing
lists of all suitable SPs, all non-suitable SPs, and the assigned codes
to explain why the non-suitable SPs would not be included.
Phase 5-8: Rulemaking: Drafting, Consolidation, Coordination, and
Publication
As the final phase, PHMSA consolidated its analyses and
conclusions, evaluated compliance with statutory requirements and
governmental policies and procedures applicable to the regulatory
process, and prepared this NPRM to address each topic area. These
requirements include Executive Orders, Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) Bulletins, DOT orders and procedures, the Administrative
Procedures Act, and others. PHMSA uses a common process to identify,
develop, track, prioritize, and implement regulatory changes in line
with applicable DOT and Federal government policies and procedures. The
Standards and Rulemaking Division has a Standard Operating Procedure
(SOP) in place which is intended to outline and serve as a reference
for persons engaged in the regulatory process and to ensure that all
applicable requirements are met. This rulemaking was completed, as with
all rulemakings, using this SOP.
For this rulemaking, due to the comprehensive nature of the
project, it was broken down into topics with teams assigned to each
topic. Each topic area was then handled as if it were its own
rulemaking project. While Phases 1-4 represented the analysis portion
of this project, Phases 5-8 encompassed the rulemaking portion.
Following the completion of the team analysis in Phase 4, team mentors
edited and compiled the topics into one master document.
Future Reviews
As required by MAP-21, PHMSA plans to conduct annual reviews of SPs
which have been in effect for more than 10 years. These reviews and
analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and tools as those used
in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and review will
be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be evaluated and the
experience gained through this evaluation.
In addition, PHMSA is considering modifications to the manner in
which it writes new SPs in order to more accurately reflect how the HMR
is written. In this NPRM, PHMSA is requesting comments as it considers
a future proposal to require an applicant to provide potential
regulatory text when submitting an application for a SP in order to
facilitate adoption of SPs into the HMR.
D. Petitions for Rulemaking
PHMSA also considered several petitions for rulemaking submitted in
accordance with Sec. 106.105 that may impact SPs reviewed in this
rulemaking. These petitions are discussed below.
P-1607
The Council on the Safe Transportation of Hazardous Articles
(COSTHA) submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1607 to adopt the
provisions of DOT SP-11458 that authorizes display packs of consumer
commodity packages that exceed the 30 kg gross weight limitation. This
petition has been accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this
rulemaking. See the discussions in Sec. Sec. 171.8 and 173.56 under
the ``Operational Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other'' heading of this
rulemaking.
P-1608
The Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association (TTMA) submitted a
petition for rulemaking under P-1608 to adopt the provisions of DOT SP-
11903 into the HMR. This petition requests that PHMSA propose to adopt
standards for the construction and use of Fiber Reinforced Plastic
(FRP) Cargo Tanks. Currently, these tanks are constructed under DOT-SP
11903 and used under party status in DOT SP-9166. In addition to DOT
SP-11903 and DOT SP-9166, there are other SPs that address these
standards. PHMSA is not proposing to adopt these SPs at this time as
there is not a uniform standard for FRP Cargo Tanks ready for adoption.
However, PHMSA is working to develop a uniform standard for FRP cargo
tanks and will address this issue in a future rulemaking.
[[Page 5347]]
P-1610
COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1610 to adopt
the provisions of DOT-SP 11110 into the HMR. This SP authorizes cargo
aircraft operators to load division 1.4S and Class 8, PG III materials
in inaccessible cargo locations in excess of the limitations specified
in Sec. 175.75(c). This petition has been accepted by PHMSA for
consideration in a future rulemaking. However, at this time PHMSA is
not proposing to adopt this SP because of concern that more time is
needed to research the potential impact of changes to Sec. 175.75 and
to coordinate this review with the appropriate parties, including our
modal partners.
P-1611
COSTHA submitted a petition for rulemaking under P-1611 to adopt
the provisions of DOT-SP 11470 into the HMR. This SP authorizes the
transportation in commerce of shrink-wrapped pallets containing boxes
of waste ORM-D materials with the word ``WASTE'' marked on the outside
of the pallet instead of the individual box. This petition has been
accepted by PHMSA and is being proposed in this rulemaking. See the
discussion in Sec. 173.12 under the ``Operational Highway/Rail/
Shipper/Other'' heading of this rulemaking.
E. SP Evaluation Results
PHMSA is committed to the SP adoption process established by
Congress in MAP-21. To ensure that the changes made under this action
are as efficient and effective as possible, PHMSA solicits input from
its stakeholders. We have used several tables throughout this
rulemaking to clearly identify SPs that are suitable for adoption and
those that have been deemed not suitable. As required by MAP-21 the
initial review and analysis of SPs considered the following factors:
The safety record of hazardous materials transported under
the SP;
The application of a SP;
The suitability of provisions in the SP for adoption into
the HMR; and
Rulemaking activity in related areas.
Based on these factors, the SPCP team developed and assigned codes
to each SP being reviewed. These codes represent the rationale for
adopting or not adopting a SP into the regulations. Table 5 explains
each code.

Evaluation Summary
After completion of the evaluation segment of the SPCP, PHMSA
identified 98 currently-active SPs that were suitable to be proposed
for adoption in this rulemaking action. The SPCP evaluated 1,168
permits that represented 3,691 holders of SPs that were active on
January 1, 2013. The adoption of these 98 SPs would impact 728 SP
holders, as shown in Table 6. If the SPs proposed for adoption into the
HMR in this rulemaking were to be adopted in a final rule, there would
be an approximate 8% reduction in the number of SPs and approximate 20%
reduction in the number of holders of SPs. PHMSA anticipates the final
number of SPs adopted in the final rule may vary from this original
number based on input from public comments received in response to this
rulemaking and ongoing SP activity.

When combined with previous regulatory efforts to adopt SPs into
the HMR, the impact is increased to 192 total SPs adopted since 2008,
affecting 14,675 holders of SPs, as shown in Table 7.

After this initial review of all SPs, PHMSA plans to annually
review SPs that have been in effect for more than 10 years. PHMSA's
ongoing review and analysis of SPs will use the same methodology and
tools as in this rulemaking. PHMSA anticipates future analysis and
review will be streamlined due to the reduced number of SPs to be
evaluated and the experience gained through this evaluation.
Suitable for Adoption
The analysis phase of the SPCP identified 98 SPs (728 holders of
SPs) that were deemed suitable for adoption. Table 8 summarizes the SPs
deemed suitable, their assigned topic area, a summary of the permit,
and the number of holders of SPs. All suitable SPs were deemed to be

IV. Section-by-Section Review by Topic Area
A. Cylinders--General
Part 172
172.102 Special Provisions
Section 172.102 lists special provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous materials. Special provisions
contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions applicable
to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. Non-bulk
packagings must be marked with the United Nations (UN) identification
number and proper shipping name, and bear labels communicating the
hazard of the material contained in the package. DOT-SP 13544
authorizes the transportation in commerce of Department of
Transportation (DOT) Specification 4BA240 cylinders containing
liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and propane and/or residue of LPG or
propane without hazard warnings provided the materials are transported
in a closed and placarded transport vehicle. This SP supports the
propane cylinder exchange programs that accept expended cylinders in
exchange for full cylinders. Cylinders collected during the course of
these programs may not always bear the appropriate hazard warning
markings and labels as required by the HMR. DOT-SP 13544 imposes
certain operational controls to ensure appropriate hazard
communication, driver training, and appropriate securement of the
cylinder on the transport vehicle. PHMSA proposes to add a special
provision, ``N95'' to allow non-bulk packagings containing UN1075,
Liquefied petroleum gas and UN1978, Propane not to be marked with the
UN number and proper shipping name or bear hazard labels provided
certain restrictions are met.
Section 172.400a
The HMR provide exceptions or alternatives to the labeling
requirements under specific circumstances. One such alternative permits
the use of a neckring marking, under certain conditions, in accordance
with the CGA publication C-7, Guide to Preparation of Precautionary
Labeling and Marking of Compressed Gas Containers, Appendix A, 8th
Edition (2004). Section 172.400a permits the use a CGA Pamphlet C-7
marking in lieu of the 100 mm x 100 mm square-on-point labels on a
Dewar flask meeting the requirements in Sec. 173.320 and cylinders
containing Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 materials that are not
overpacked.
DOT-SP 14251 authorizes the transportation in commerce of
overpacked cylinders, containing Class 2 materials, with CGA C-7
neckring labels provided the overpack is labeled in accordance with
Sec. 172.400. Additionally, the CGA petitioned PHMSA (P-1521) to allow
cylinders to display the neckring marking even when overpacked. The
petition would still require the overpack to display the 100 mm x 100
mm square-on-point labels in accordance with 49 CFR part 172, subpart
E. The marking prescribed in Appendix A to CGA publication C-7, Guide
to Preparation of Precautionary Labeling and Marking of Compressed Gas
Containers, Appendix A, 8th Edition (2004) provides useful information
in a clear and consistent manner and its widespread use on cylinders
over the course of several years has enhanced its recognition. The
adoption of DOT-SP 14251 and CGA's proposed change would provide
greater flexibility for shipments of overpacked cylinders while
ensuring adequate hazard communication. Therefore, PHMSA is proposing
to revise this section to authorize the transportation in commerce of
overpacked cylinders, containing Class 2 materials, with CGA C-7
neckring labels and to allow these cylinders to display the neckring
marking even when overpacked provided the overpacks are properly
labeled.
Part 173
Section 173.181
Section 173.181 specifies the authorized packagings for the
shipment of pyrophoric materials (liquids) in transportation. DOT-SP
14419 authorizes the additional use of DOT specification 3AL cylinders
constructed from aluminum alloy 6061-T6 for the shipment of pyrophoric
liquids provided the cylinders are constructed of 6061-T6 aluminum,
have a minimum marked service pressure of 1800 psig, have a maximum
water capacity of 49 liters, and any preheating or heating of the
cylinders is limited to a maximum temperature of 175[emsp14][deg]F.
PHMSA proposes to revise this section to allow for the use of DOT
specification 3AL cylinders constructed from aluminum alloy 6061-T6,
with the same specified limitations for the shipment of pyrophoric
materials.
Section 173.193
Section 173.193(b) states that ``Bromoacetone, methyl bromide,
chloropicrin and methyl bromide mixtures, chloropicrin and methyl
chloride mixtures, and chloropicrin mixtures charged with non-
flammable, non-liquefied compressed gas must be packed in Specification
3A, 3AA, 3B, 3C, 3E, 4A, 4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4C cylinders having not over
113 kg (250 pounds) water capacity (nominal).'' DOT-SP 12301 authorizes
the transportation in commerce of Chloropicrin and methyl bromide
mixtures in DOT4BW cylinders with water capacity (nominal) not over 454
kg (1,000 pounds). PHMSA proposes to revise Sec. 173.193(b) to allow
for a water capacity of not over 454 kg (1,000 pounds) for chloropicrin
and methyl
[[Page 5413]]
bromide mixtures packed in DOT specification 4BW cylinders.
Section 173.301
This section outlines the general requirements for the use of
cylinders including a list of authorized cylinders, general filling
requirements, valve protection, and pressure relief device
requirements. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes revisions that would amend
the pressure relief device requirements and permit the use of valve
caps made from a material other than metal.
PHMSA proposes to authorize the transportation in commerce of DOT
specification 39 cylinders without a pressure relief device valve being
in communication with the vapor space. With limited exceptions, Sec.
173.301(f) requires a cylinder filled with a compressed gas to be
fitted with a pressure relief device. Section 173.301(f)(2) states that
``a pressure relief device, when installed, must be in communication
with the vapor space of a cylinder containing a Division 2.1 (flammable
gas) material.'' DOT-SP 13318 authorizes the transportation in commerce
of DOT specification 39 cylinders of 75 cubic inches or less volume,
without the PRD in direct communication with the vapor space. PHMSA
proposes to amend paragraph (f)(2) to state that this provision does
not apply to cylinders of 75 cubic inches or less in volume filled with
a liquefied petroleum gas, methyl acetylene and propadiene mixtures,
stabilized, propylene, propane or butane. This SP was originally issued
in 2003 subsequent to the publication of HM-220D [67 FR 51625; August
8, 2002] which instituted the requirement that the PRD be in
communication with the vapor space, and continues to allow a shipping
practice that prior to 2003 has been successfully used with an
acceptable safety record.
PHMSA proposes to create an additional exception to pressure relief
device requirements for DOT-3E cylinders under certain limited
circumstances. DOT-SP 8074 provides an exception from the pressure
relief device requirements for a DOT specification 3E cylinder up to 12
inches long and 2 inches in diameter when filled with the following
gases up to the specified limits: Carbon dioxide, liquefied 0.24L (8
oz.), Ethane 0.12L (4oz.), Ethylene (4 oz.), Hydrogen chloride,
anhydrous 0.24L (8 oz.), Nitrous oxide 0.24L (8 oz.), Vinyl fluoride,
stabilized 0.24L (8 oz.) and Monochlorotrifluoromethane 0.35L (12 oz.).
PHMSA proposes to add a new paragraph Sec. 173.301(f)(7) to authorize
DOT 3E cylinders of this size and containing these gasses to be shipped
without a pressure relief device provided they are under the provided
maximum weight limits.
Finally, PHMSA also proposes to authorize the use of valve
protection caps that are made from a material other than metal.
Compressed gas cylinders must meet certain valve protection
requirements outlined in Sec. Sec. 173.40(d) and 173.301(h). Each
cylinder with a valve must have a protective metal cap, other valve
protection device, or an overpack which is sufficient to protect the
valve from damage during transportation. For Division 2.3 or 6.1 Hazard
Zone A or B materials, the valve protection must be of sufficient
strength to protect the valve from breakage and leakage resulting from
a drop of 2.0 m (7 ft) or more onto a non-yielding surface at the
orientation most likely to cause damage. DOT-SP 12782 authorizes
plastic valve protection caps for certain Division 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3
materials when the valve protection is sufficient to prevent leakage
when the cylinder, with the valve installed, is dropped from 2.0 m (7
ft) or more onto a non-yielding floor, impacting the valve assembly or
cap at the orientation most likely to cause damage. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to amend Sec. Sec. 173.40(d) and 173.301(h) to allow for the
valve protection, including the valve cap, to be made from plastic.
PHMSA is not proposing any changes to Sec. 173.301b(c) because ISO
11117 permits valve caps made of materials other than metal.
Section 173.302a
Sections 173.302, 173.302a, 173.304 and 173.304a prescribe
additional requirements for the transport of non-liquefied (permanent)
and liquefied compressed gases in DOT specification cylinders. These
requirements include authorized cylinders and filling limits. Section
173.302a(b) states that a DOT 3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, and 3T cylinder may
be filled with a compressed gas, other than a liquefied, dissolved,
Division 2.1, or Division 2.3 gas, to a pressure 10% in excess of its
marked service pressure, subject to certain safety criteria. DOT-SP
6530 authorizes the transport in commerce of hydrogen and mixtures of
hydrogen with helium, argon, or nitrogen, in certain cylinders filled
to 110% of their marked service pressure. PHMSA proposes to add a new
paragraph (c) to include this exception and to remark the other
paragraphs in this section to reflect this addition. This SP was
originally issued over 40 years ago.
Section 173.304a
In Sec. 173.304a(a)(2), a table provides the maximum filling
densities and permissible cylinder types for certain named gases.
Currently, Sec. 173.304a(a)(2) permits a maximum filling density of
68% for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide in DOT 3, DOT 3HT2000 and DOT
39 cylinders as well as DOT 3A, 3AX, 3AA, 3AAX, 3E, 3T, and 3AL
cylinders with a marked service pressure of 1800 psi. PHMSA proposes to
modify the entries currently in the table in Sec. 173.304a(a)(2) to
add additional filling densities for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide.
DOT-SP 13599 authorizes additional maximum filling densities for
carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide to include 70.3%, 73.2%, and 74.5% in
DOT 3A, 3AA, 3AX, 3AAX, 3AL, and 3T cylinders with marked service
pressures of 2000, 2265, and 2400, psig respectively, subject to
operational controls. Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (Air Products)
submitted a petition for rulemaking (P-1560) requesting PHMSA revise
Sec. 173.304a(a)(2) to adopt the provisions of DOT-SP 13599. Air
Products stated in its petition that the proposed increase in the
maximum permitted filling densities would yield various benefits
including increased harmonization of compressed gas filling
requirements with the UN Model Regulations, benefits to the carbonated
beverage industry, decreased fuel costs associated with the
transportation and delivery of carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, and
reduced administrative costs through the elimination of DOT-SP 13599.
PHMSA has a high degree of confidence that the increased filling
densities for these gases will not adversely impact safety. While
determining if DOT-SP 13599 was suitable for inclusion in this
rulemaking, PHMSA's technical evaluators confirmed that if the table in
Sec. 173.304a is revised to clearly link the maximum permitted filling
density with the specific gas and the specific packaging, then the
operational controls of DOT-SP 13599 would be met. Therefore, PHMSA
proposes to modify the entries currently in the table in Sec.
173.304a(a)(2) for carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide to include the
maximum filling densities listed in P-1560 and DOT-SP 13599.
Part 180, Subpart C
Qualification, Maintenance and Use of Cylinders
The HMR prescribe requirements for the continuing qualification,
maintenance, and periodic requalification of DOT specification
[[Page 5414]]
cylinders, DOT SP cylinders, and UN pressure receptacles. These
requirements ensure that cylinders continue to conform to the
appropriate specification and compromised cylinders are not filled with
hazardous materials. The discussion of the proposed amendments includes
a section-by-section review of the current requirements, and a
discussion of SPs considered for adoption and proposed amendments.
Part 180
Section 180.209
Each DOT specification cylinder must be given a complete external
and internal visual inspection and subjected to a hydrostatic pressure
test. This combination of a visual examination and hydrostatic test is
referred to as requalification. The time period for periodic
requalification is typically 5 years, but this period varies depending
on the cylinder specification and the gas service. The requalification
period for various DOT specification cylinders is shown in the Sec.
180.209 table.
Paragraph (e) authorizes a proof pressure test in lieu of the
volumetric expansion test for 4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E cylinders protected
with a corrosion resistant coating used exclusively for the gases
specified in that paragraph. DOT-SP 12084 expands on the list in
paragraph (e) to include additional gases. These gases are refrigerated
gases and liquefied gases similar to those already permitted by Sec.
180.209(e). This SP was originally granted in 1998 and has been revised
several times to expand the list of gases authorized by the SP. Since
1998, thousands of cylinders have been requalified in the manner
described by this SP without safety incident. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to adopt the provisions in DOT-SP 12084 by removing the list
of authorized gases and authorizing the use of the proof pressure test
for DOT-4B, 4BA, 4BW, or 4E cylinders protected externally by a
suitable corrosion resistant coating and used exclusively for non-
corrosive gases. The authorized specifications limit the total pressure
in the cylinder to 500 psi or less. It should be noted that because
this SP does not include a 4E cylinder, PHMSA specifically requests
comments on the feasibility of its inclusion.
Section 180.213
Cylinders requalified in accordance with the HMR must bear
requalification markings in accordance with Sec. 180.213. As provided
in Sec. 180.213(c), ``The depth of requalification markings may not be
greater than specified in the applicable specification. The markings
must be made by stamping, engraving, scribing or other method that
produces a legible, durable mark.'' DOT-SP 14937 allows the use of a
label embedded in epoxy in lieu of other methods described in Sec.
180.213. PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (c) to allow the use of a
label embedded in epoxy in lieu of stamping provided the marking is
legible and durable. This SP was originally issued in 2008 and has an
acceptable safety record.
B. Cylinders--NDT/Aerosols
Part 173
Section 173.304
Section 173.304 specifies the requirements for the filling of
cylinders with liquefied compressed gases. Paragraph (d) of this
section provides for authorized packagings for the filling of cylinders
with refrigerant and dispersant gases. The current regulations
authorize these materials in a 2Q non-refillable container. DOT-SP
12573 authorizes a refrigerant gas (``R 134a,'' UN3159) in a non-DOT
specification container similar to a 2Q container at a maximum
allowable pressure requirement for the contents of 198 psig at 54.4
[deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F).
Based on our review of the permit and no discovery of compliance
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the
permit, we are proposing to adopt the container found in DOT-SP 12573
as an authorized container. However, we are differing marginally from
the permit in that we are adopting a maximum pressure threshold of 200
psig at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) for the contents. There is no
safety basis for the 200 psig ceiling other than we believe it is a
cleaner cutoff point than the 198 psig maximum found in the SP. In
addition, as part of the variation on the design of a DOT 2Q container,
the modified container will be marked as ``DOT 2Q1.''
Finally, the current regulations require that the pressure of the
contents of the metal containers not exceed 87 psig at 21 [deg]C
(70[emsp14][deg]F). We invite comment on whether the requirement for a
maximum pressure should be specified at 21 [deg]C (70[emsp14][deg]F)
for the 2Q1 container in addition to the limit at 55 [deg]C
(131[emsp14][deg]F). If so, we invite comment on what should the limit
be for typical refrigerant or dispersant gas such as 1,1,1,2
Tetrafluoroethane, R134a. See the associated discussions for Sec. Sec.
173.306 and 178.33d.
Section 173.306
Section 173.306 provides general requirements and exceptions for
shipments of limited quantities of compressed gas. In this NPRM, we are
making several proposed changes to this section. The proposed changes
are discussed as follows:
Conforming revisions. Throughout this section of the HMR and within
related SPs that provide exemptions from these regulations for gases,
pressure standards are indicated at either 130[emsp14][deg]F or
131[emsp14][deg]F. In the interest of consistency and conformity with
the general requirements for compressed gases in Sec. Sec. 173.301 and
173.301a, we are proposing to change all references of 54.4 [deg]C
(130[emsp14][deg]F) to 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). We invite comment
on whether there are any potential negatives in making this conforming
change. We are also making revisions to the construction and formatting
of how this section is presented (e.g., insertion of an ``if, then''
table) in an effort to make the requirements more reader-friendly.
Authorized Metal Containers
DOT 2P inner nonrefillable metal containers. Under Sec. 173.306,
limited quantities of foodstuffs or soaps with soluble or emulsified
compressed gas are authorized in nonrefillable metal or plastic
containers. Paragraph (b)(1) introductory text authorizes these
containers subject to a pressure requirement not to exceed 140 psig at
54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F). SPs 13601 and 14503 authorize the
transportation of ``UN1950, Aerosols, non-flammable (each not exceeding
1 L capacity), 2.2,'' and 7951 authorizes the transportation of
``UN1956, Compressed gas, n.o.s., 2.2,'' in containers that conform to
DOT 2P or 2Q specifications except for some minimal modifications. The
containers must have maximum pressures for the contents of 160 psig at
54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F) and 150 psig at 23.9 [deg]C
(75[emsp14][deg]F), respectively. DOT-SP 7951 states that the
containers must be transported in the refrigerated state. PHMSA is
seeking comments on whether refrigeration should be a condition of the
transport of these materials. As part of the variation on the
specification of these containers, the modified container will be
marked as ``DOT 2P1'' under the provisions of new Sec. 178.33c
discussed separately in this rulemaking.
We are also proposing to include DOT 2P1 as an authorized metal
aerosol container under Sec. 173.306(a)(3)(iii). We see no reason to
limit this container to foodstuffs or soaps under paragraph (b)(1)
because the pressure limit for the contents is the same as the current
requirement for a DOT 2P container, and the safety factor of the
minimum burst pressure under the SP is greater than that for a DOT 2P
container (270
[[Page 5415]]
psig vs. 240 psig). We are not proposing to adopt the burst pressure
requirement because the SP requirements are such that the pressure
relief system of these containers must function at a pressure below the
burst pressure. Also, the DOT 2P1 would be authorized for both Division
2.1 and 2.2 aerosols under Sec. 173.306(a)(3)(iii).
DOT 2Q inner nonrefillable metal containers. Limited quantities of
compressed gas are authorized in metal aerosol containers (see Sec.
171.8 of the HMR). Paragraph (a)(3) introductory text of this section
authorizes metal aerosol containers under certain conditions including
packaging types and pressure thresholds. The current regulations under
Sec. 173.306(a)(3)(iii) require use of a DOT 2Q container for
pressures exceeding 160 psig at 54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F) but not
to exceed 180 psig. DOT-SP 12573 authorizes the transport of
``Aerosols, non-flammable,'' UN1950 in non-DOT specification containers
that conform to DOT 2Q specifications except for some modifications.
The containers must have maximum pressures for the contents of 198 psig
at 54.4 [deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F).
Based on review of the permit and no discovery of compliance
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the
permit, we are proposing to adopt the modified DOT 2Q as an authorized
metal aerosol container. However, we are differing marginally from the
permit in that we are adopting a maximum pressure threshold of 200 psig
at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). There is no safety basis for the 200
psig ceiling other than we believe it is a cleaner cutoff point than
the 198 psig maximum found in the permit. As part of the variation of
the specification of a DOT 2Q container, the modified container will be
marked as ``DOT 2Q1.''
This proposed rule would also expand authorized materials to
include Division 2.1 aerosols. We see no reason to limit the use of
this container to non-flammable aerosols based on the record of use for
this container and that DOT 2Q containers currently authorized in the
HMR are allowed to be used for all defined aerosol types, however, we
invite comment on the suitability of the container for all aerosol
types. See the associated discussions for Sec. Sec. 173.304 and
178.33d.
DOT-SP 13581 is linked to the above proposed provision in that it
authorizes the use of metal aerosol containers manufactured, tested,
and marked according to DOT-SP 12573. We believe with the adoption of
the modified DOT 2Q container (i.e., a DOT 2Q1 container), this SP will
no longer be needed.
Alternatives to Testing of Metal Aerosol Containers by a Hot Water Bath
Test
As a condition of the use of a metal aerosol container, each
container, after being filled, must be subjected to a hot water bath to
raise the internal pressure to such a degree that leakage or permanent
deformation, if any, can be determined (see Sec. 173.306(a)(3)(v)).
The provision also provides for a testing protocol for a container
where the contents may be sensitive to heat. Currently, this is the
only method authorized for determining leakage or permanent deformation
and thus, fillers that have developed other protocols or that do not
want to subject their products to a hot water bath test must obtain a
SP. A number of SPs that authorize the use of alternative methods to
determine leakage or permanent deformation are discussed as follows:
(1) Alternate hot water bath test. DOT-SP 12995 authorizes a
methodology that is a combination of a hot water bath test, a weight
test, and visual inspection. Rather than subjecting each filled
container to a hot water bath test, only one container out of each lot
is subjected to the hot water bath test, a second is subjected to a
weight test, the results of which must be compared to weight
specification for the container as outlined in quality control
procedures, and finally, the remainder of the lot must be visually
inspected by examining the valve, crimp, and seam areas for evidence of
leakage.
Based on review of the permit and no discovery of compliance
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the
permit, we are proposing to adopt DOT-SP 12995. The permit authorizes
only DOT 2Q containers but we are applying it to all authorized metal
aerosol containers. While determining if DOT-SP 12995 was suitable for
inclusion in this rulemaking, PHMSA's technical evaluators confirmed
that the methodology that includes a combination of hot water bath
test, weight test, and visual inspection may be performed on a DOT 2P
as well as a DOT 2Q. Since these containers are similar designs except
in terms of strength, this alternative to the hot water bath test is
applicable to any metal container. Previously, most applicants of DOT-
SP 12995 only requested 2Q because that is what they needed for their
particular hazmat, but that does not mean that alternative testing is
not good for similar containers. Additionally, the permit applies to
specific filling conditions but we will apply this testing method to
containers complying with the current filling conditions in Sec.
173.306(a)(3). Finally, we vary from the permit with our proposed
language in that we require maintenance and access to operating
procedures especially with regard to the weight test and specification
in order to effect a broader application of this alternative. Rather
than specify standards, we will allow persons to develop their own
procedures that best fit their product on the condition that DOT has
access to these procedures. We invite comment on this approach and
others. In our proposal, for purposes of this alternative, we designate
a lot as 2,000 containers consistent with the SP. We invite comment on
whether we should specify a lot size, allow persons to determine the
lot size, and if so, how the testing procedures should be modified to
accommodate larger lot sizes.
(2) Automated in-line pressure test. DOT-SPs 14429, 14623, 14625,
14627, 14723, 14724, 14786, 14842, 14887, 14953, 15135, 15265, 15427,
and 15972 all authorize the use of an automated process to check the
pressure of filled containers (i.e., an ``automated in-line pressure
check'') instead of subjecting the containers to a hot water bath.
Based on review of the SPs and no discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are
proposing to adopt the provisions of these SPs, specifically
authorizing the use of an automated process for pressure checks that
does not involve a hot water bath. The safety control measures for the
``automated in-line pressure check'' vary greatly among the SPs with
regard to the criteria for rejection, limits on the filling of
contents, inspection, and corrective action. We are seeking comments on
whether the proposed +/-0.5% accuracy of the pressure measuring
instrument is appropriate for widely-used automated equipment for
aerosols. Rather than attempt to develop a standard that might not
address all possible variations on an automated process, we have opted
to propose a performance-based requirement that adopts parts of all of
the SPs. Specifically, we propose to require the development of
operating procedures (which we believe most entities should already
have as part of their processes), we provide for basic components that
the procedures must address (e.g., inclusion of rejection criteria),
and we require written record of the operating procedures be made
accessible to DOT representatives. We invite comment on the merits of
this approach.
(3) Weight test. DOT-SP 14440 authorizes the use of a process to
check the weight of filled containers (i.e., an
[[Page 5416]]
``automated in-line pressure check'') instead of subjecting the
containers to a hot water bath. Based on review of the permit and no
discovery of compliance violations or incidents associated with the
transport history of the permit, we are proposing to adopt the scope of
this SP, specifically authorizing the use of weight checks as a means
to determine compliance with pressure requirements. Comparison of the
weight of a container against the pre-determined target weight for the
container provides an indication of the filling of the container. For
example, a container with a weight greater than that of the target
weight provides an indication of overfilling and thus, would likely
exceed the authorized pressure limit at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).
We have opted to propose a performance-based requirement that adopts
parts of all of the SPs. Specifically, we propose to require the
development of operating procedures (which we believe most entities
should already have as part of their processes), we provide for basic
components that the procedures must address (e.g., a supplementary heat
test for rejection of a lot), and we require written record of the
operating procedures accessible to DOT representatives. We invite
comment on the merits of this approach.
(4) Leakage test. DOT-SP 14544 authorizes the use of a high
pressure air test on empty containers combined with a leakage test for
filled containers instead of subjecting the containers to a hot water
bath. The testing protocol for filled containers found in this SP is
currently applied to plastic containers under paragraph (a)(5) of this
section in the HMR, however, the pressure and leakage test of the empty
containers differs in its application. Under DOT-SP 14544, each empty
container must be pressure tested at 120 psig instead of the HMR
requirement that each empty container must be subjected to a pressure
equal to or in excess of the maximum expected in the filled containers
at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F), and that is at least two-thirds of
the design pressure of the container. Under both tests, if there is
evidence of leakage, the container must be rejected. Based on review of
the permit, no discovery of compliance violations or incidents
associated with the transport history of the permit, and a similar
requirement currently under the HMR, we are proposing to adopt the
scope of this SP, specifically authorizing the use of a leakage test as
a means to determine compliance with pressure requirements. Our
implementation will differ from the SP in that we are proposing to
adopt the leakage testing requirements under Sec. 173.306(a)(5)(v),
but including the DOT-SP 14544 testing protocol for empty containers as
an alternative. We invite comment on our approach to adopt this SP.
Accumulators. The HMR provides for special considerations for
limited amounts of compressed gas in accumulators. DOT-SP 8786
authorizes the transport of accumulators under an alternative testing
procedure from what is outlined in paragraph (f)(2) and (f)(3) of this
section. Instead of testing each accumulator to three times (3x) the
charge pressure, the SP provides for conditions to test one accumulator
out of each lot of 1,000 to the burst design pressure, and two
accumulators to two and a half times (2.5x) the charge pressure. Based
on review of the permit, no discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, and the
lengthy history of use of this SP, we are proposing to adopt DOT-SP
8786 except for the specific conditions for the preparation for testing
of the accumulators.
Aerosol disposal. The general packaging requirements of the HMR
forbid the transport of leaking or improperly-filled packages. This
includes aerosol containers that are found to be leaking or improperly
filled as part of a combination packaging. Although the HMR provides
for conditions to allow for the transport of damaged, defective, or
leaking packages under salvage packaging provisions in Sec. 173.3(c)
and (d) for salvage drums and salvage cylinders, respectively, these
provisions do not apply to aerosol containers that are leaking or
improperly filled. Thus, shippers (fillers) with defective aerosol
containers (``waste aerosols'') are limited to onsite disposal of
aerosol containers that do not comply with the HMR. DOT-SP 11296
provides for an option to transport these containers to an offsite
facility for disposal under certain conditions (e.g., overpacking in
DOT specification packagings, modal restrictions, etc.).
Based on review of the permit, no discovery of compliance
violations or incidents associated with the transport history of the
permit, and that adoption would allow for the transport of these
aerosols for proper disposal, we are proposing to adopt the general
scope of DOT-SP 11296 but with some differences. The proposed language
is not limited to flammable aerosols such as indicated in the language
in DOT-SP 11296. Also, the proposed regulatory language is modeled
after the salvage packaging requirements of Sec. 173.3(c) in that: (1)
The authorized outer packaging for overpacking the defective cylinders
has been expanded to include other metal drums (i.e., 1B2 and 1N2); (2)
a condition for cushioning and absorbent material, when necessary, has
been added; and (3) an ``aerosol salvage'' drum marking has been
adopted. We invite comment on several aspects of these proposed
provisions including authorized aerosols, (e.g., are there concerns
with allowing aerosols other than flammable aerosols only in the
drums?), authorized outer packaging, hazard communication, and
authorized transport modes.
Part 178
Section 178.33c
Under the HMR, certain DOT specification containers with restricted
capacity and commonly referred to as ``aerosol containers'' are
authorized for transport of compressed gases and for liquefied
compressed gases under limited situations. These containers include DOT
2P (inner non-refillable metal) containers. The specification standards
are outlined in Sec. 178.33 of the HMR, but the specification does not
provide for variations on the standards. Thus, technological advances
or design changes to satisfy customer needs are such that the resulting
metal containers would not comply with the standards for a DOT 2P
container, nor any other container authorized under either Sec. Sec.
173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR. DOT-SPs 13601 and 14503 (also 7951)
provide for a variation on the DOT 2P container specifications by
authorizing construction of the container according to modifications to
the standards for manufacture and testing.
These variations on a 2P container are equipped with some manner of
pressure relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release device or a dome
expansion device) that must function within a certain pressure range,
otherwise the container is rejected. In effect, these containers are
designed to buckle to relieve pressure before bursting. For example,
for a container built to DOT-SP 13601, the pressure relief system must
function between 175 psig and 210 psig or be rejected. However, we have
no specific information in the special permit(s) on the relationship
between the functional range and the tested burst pressure. The current
requirements for a container for foodstuffs under Sec. 173.306(b)(1)
is that the pressure of the contents cannot exceed 140 psig at
130[emsp14][deg]F and the container must be capable of withstanding a
pressure of 1.5x the contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F without bursting.
Thus, 140 psig of contents equates to a minimum burst pressure of 210
psig.
[[Page 5417]]
Additionally, the current minimum burst pressure for a DOT 2P container
is 240 psig (Sec. 178.33-8). Using the DOT-SP 13601 requirements, the
minimum burst pressure requirement is listed as 270 psig (assumed at
130[emsp14][deg]F) and the pressure of contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F
may not exceed 160 psig thus, equating to approximately 1.7x the
contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F without bursting (which is more stringent
than for a 2P under the HMR). However, accounting for the pressure
range for operation of the relief system at 175 psig to 210 psig, the
multiplier based on the maximum pressure of the contents is
approximately 1.1x to 1.3x the contents. That is, the relief system
must function within 1.1x to 1.3x the pressure of the contents at
130[emsp14][deg]F.
This is further complicated under DOT-SP 14503 (and 7951) where the
standard for the pressure of the contents is set at 75[emsp14][deg]F
for which we do not have an equivalent requirement under the HMR.
Additionally, the ranges for functioning of the relief systems have a
higher upper bound, 175 to 250 and 175 to 235, respectively. And,
finally there is no minimum burst pressure specified in DOT-SP 14503
(and 7951); therefore, we must default to the DOT 2P minimum burst
pressure of 240 psig. Again, the circumstances are unclear in that the
upper bounds for the functional ranges approach or exceed the 2P
minimum burst pressure yet we do not have information on the actual
tested burst pressure which could be much larger. Therefore, based on
the requirements of DOT-SP 13601, we propose to implement a requirement
that for containers with pressure relief systems, the upper bound of
the functional range for a pressure relief system must be no greater
than 80% of the minimum burst pressure or the recorded test pressure.
We invite comment on using this approach and whether it would be
preferable to implement a requirement for the upper bound of the range
based on the pressure of the contents?
Overall, based on review of the permit and no discovery of safety
issues or incidents associated with the transport history of the
permit, we are proposing to incorporate the standards for the modified
DOT 2P container found in DOT-SP 13601 (and likely 14503 (7951)) as a
variation on the DOT 2P container design. This variation would be
required to be marked as a ``DOT 2P1.'' Rather than repeat in total the
DOT 2P specification standards that have remained the same for a DOT
2P1 container, we propose to instruct the reader that all standards for
a DOT 2P1 remain the same as those for a DOT 2P except for the
variations outlined in a proposed new Sec. 178.33c-2.
Section 178.33d
Under the HMR, certain DOT specification containers with restricted
capacity and commonly referred to as ``aerosol containers'' are
authorized for transport of compressed gases and for liquefied
compressed gases under limited situations. These containers include DOT
2Q (inner nonrefillable metal) containers. The specification standards
are outlined in Sec. 178.33a of the HMR but the specification does not
provide for variations on the standards. Thus, technological advances
or design changes to satisfy customer needs are such that the resulting
metal containers would not comply with the standards for a DOT 2Q
container, nor any other container authorized under either Sec. Sec.
173.304 or 173.306 of the HMR. DOT-SP 12573 provides for a variation on
the DOT 2Q container specifications by authorizing construction of the
container according to modifications to the standards for type and
size, manufacture, wall thickness, and testing. DOT-SP 14503 also
provides for a variation on the DOT 2Q container specification by
authorizing construction of the container according to modifications to
its manufacture and testing.
These variations on a 2P container are equipped with some manner of
pressure relief system (e.g., a rim-vent release device or a dome
expansion device) that must function by a certain threshold level or
within a certain pressure range, otherwise the container is rejected.
In effect, these containers are designed to buckle to relieve pressure
before bursting. For example, for a container built to DOT-SP 12573,
the minimum pressure before the system buckles is 220 psig (and if not
equipped with a pressure relief system, the container may not burst
below 320 psig). The maximum pressure of the contents authorized under
this SP is 198 psig at 130[emsp14][deg]F (we proposed at maximum level
of 200 psig based on this SP in the Sec. 173.306 discussion for 2Q
containers). The current requirements for a 2Q container under Sec.
173.306(a)(3)(ii) is that the pressure of the contents cannot exceed
180 psig at 130[emsp14][deg]F and the container must be capable of
withstanding a pressure of 1.5x the contents at 130[emsp14][deg]F
without bursting. Applying the same multiplier to 200 psig, the
container must withstand 300 psig without bursting. The DOT-SP 12573
minimum burst pressure of 320 psig is more stringent; however, the
calculated burst pressure of 300 psig based on the proposed maximum
pressure of contents is also greater than the current required minimum
burst pressure of 270 psig for a 2Q container. Thus, it provides a
greater margin of safety than current required but also provides some
opportunity for relief as a standard. We propose to adopt a 300 psig
minimum burst pressure for this modified 2Q container. Also, we propose
to require buckling of the system at 75% of tested burst pressure (with
a minimum burst test pressure of 300 psig). We invite comment on these
approaches for adoption of the provisions for the modified 2Q container
under DOT-SP 12573. Based on review of the permit and no discovery of
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are
proposing to adopt the standards for the modified DOT 2Q container
found in DOT-SP 12573 as a variation on the DOT 2Q container design.
This variation would be required to be marked as a ``DOT 2Q1.''
The requirements under DOT-SP 14503 operate differently in that the
standard for the pressure of the contents is set at 75[emsp14][deg]F to
which we do not have an equivalent requirement under the HMR.
Additionally, the SP provides for a range of pressure for functioning
of the relief systems, specifically, 180 to 300 psig. And, finally
there is no minimum burst pressure specified in DOT-SP 14503 so we must
default to the DOT 2Q minimum burst pressure of 270 psig. The upper
bound for the functional range exceeds the 2Q minimum burst pressure
yet we do not have information on the actual tested burst pressure
which could be much larger. Therefore, based on a similar proposal to
implement provisions of DOT-SP 13601 for 2P containers (see the Sec.
178.33c discussion), the upper bound of the functional range for a
pressure relief system must be no greater than 80% of the test
pressure. We invite comment on using this approach and whether it would
be preferable to implement a requirement for the upper bound of the
range based on the pressure of the contents.
Based on review of the permit and no discovery of incidents
associated with the transport history of the permit, we are proposing
to adopt the standards for the modified DOT 2Q container found in DOT-
SP 14503 as a variation on the DOT 2Q container design. This variation
would be required to be marked as a ``DOT 2Q2.'' Rather than repeat, in
total, the DOT 2Q specification standards for each of these modified
containers that have remained the same, we propose to implement the
proposals in this section by instructing the reader that all standards
for a DOT 2Q1 or a DOT 2Q2
[[Page 5418]]
remain as for a DOT 2Q except for the variations outlined in proposed
new Sec. Sec. 178.33d-2 and 178.33d-3. We invite comment on this
method of implementing these modified DOT 2Q specification containers.
C. Cargo Tanks/Rail Cars/Portable Tanks
Part 173
Section 173.315
Section 173.315 specifies the bulk packaging provisions for
liquefied compressed gases in UN and DOT specification cargo tanks and
portable tanks. DOT-SP 12576 authorizes non-DOT specification cargo
tanks for the transportation of UN1080, Sulfur hexafluoride, that
otherwise conform to the MC 331 specifications except for design
pressure, capacity, and marking. The cargo tanks are designed and built
in conformance with Section VIII, Division 1, of the ASME Code, and the
design pressure may not exceed 600 psig. Additionally, the water
capacity range for each tank ranges from a minimum of 15 gallons to a
maximum of 500 gallons. Based on our review of the permit and no
discovery of compliance violations or incidents associated with the
transport history of the permit, we are proposing to revise the Sec.
173.315(a)(2) Table by referring to a new Note 28 in the entry for
``Division 2.2, materials not specifically provided for in this table''
as Sulfur hexafluoride is not listed by name in the table. New note 28
codifies such tanks specified in DOT-SP12576 for the transportation of
Sulfur hexafluoride. PHMSA is soliciting comment on whether this
amendment should include other compressed gases and whether the
prescribed design pressure or capacity should be revised in a final
rule.
Section 173.319
Section 173.319 prescribes the loading and packaging provisions for
cryogenic liquids transported in tank cars. Currently, the HMR
authorizes a maximum of 10 psig in a DOT 113C120W tank car containing
UN1038, Ethylene, refrigerated liquid, when offered for transportation
by rail. DOT-SP 12039 authorizes the transportation in commerce of DOT
113C120W tank cars containing Ethylene, refrigerated liquid, at an
internal pressure of 20 psig instead of the maximum 10 psig. Based on
our review of the permit and no discovery of compliance violations or
incidents associated with the transport history of the permit, we are
proposing to revise the paragraph (d)(2) Table by authorizing a maximum
of 20 psig consistent with DOT-SP 12039.
D. Operational Air/Vessel
Part 172
Sections 172.101 (Hazardous Materials Table) and 172.102 Special
Provisions
Section 172.101 provides instructions for using the Hazardous
Materials Table (HMT) and the HMT itself. Column 7 of the HMT specifies
codes for special provisions applicable to hazardous materials. Special
provisions contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions
applicable to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials.
When Column 7 of the HMT refers to a special provision for a hazardous
material, the meaning and requirements of that special provision are as
set forth in Sec. 172.102 (Special provisions).
In this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to revise Column 7 for several
entries to add the vessel-specific special provision ``W11.'' This
special provision would allow, when offered for transportation by
vessel, certain materials to be offered in the same transport unit with
foodstuffs and cargo of an organic nature provided a distance of 3m (10
feet) is maintained between the hazardous materials and foodstuffs or
cargo of an organic nature. The affected entries are as follows:
Section 172.102 lists special provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous materials.
Benzaldehyde, UN1990
Corrosive liquid, acidic, inorganic, n.o.s, UN3264, PG II
and III
Corrosive liquid, acidic, organic, n.o.s., UN3265, PG II
and III
Extracts, flavoring, liquid, UN1197, PG II and III
Flammable liquids, corrosive, n.o.s., UN2924, PG III
Phosphoric acid solution, UN1805
Special Provision W11
Currently, Sec. 176.800(a) of the HMR specifies that each package
requiring a Class 8 (corrosive) label being transported by vessel must
be stowed clear from living quarters and away from foodstuffs and cargo
of an organic nature. In addition, Sec. 176.800(b) prohibits packages
requiring a Class 8 (corrosive) label from being stowed over any
readily combustible material. DOT-SP 11691 authorizes deviation from
the segregation requirements for vessel stowage when shipped in the
same transport unit of certain flammable, Class 9 (miscellaneous), and
corrosive liquids that are the ingredients of soft drinks (beverages).
DOT-SP 11691 also allows these packages of certain corrosive liquids to
be stowed over packages of other specifically authorized flammable
liquids. During the review of this SP, PHMSA noted that the transport
conditions found in DOT-SP 11691 are different from the currently
authorized segregation from foodstuffs requirements found in the
International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code sections 7.3.4.2.1
and 7.3.4.2.2, in that a segregation distance of 3 m (10 ft) from
foodstuffs is required by the IMDG Code.
Based on our review, DOT-SP 11691 did not reveal safety incidents
associated with its transport history. Therefore, we are proposing to
adopt new special provision ``W11'' to adopt the operational control
provisions of DOT-SP 11691 as well as the additional requirement that
packages requiring Class 8 labels must be separated within the
transport unit by a distance of 3 m (10 ft) from foodstuffs and cargo
of an organic nature. The SP includes specific technical names that are
authorized, but to be more consistent with the IMDG Code provisions,
PHMSA is proposing to extend the exception to all packages offered for
transport under any of the proper shipping names (and associated
packing group) to which this special provision is assigned. The
proposed special provision W11 would allow entries assigned this
special provision, when offered for transportation by vessel, to be
offered in the same transport unit with foodstuffs and cargo of an
organic nature provided a distance of 3m (10 feet) is maintained
between the hazardous materials and foodstuffs or cargo of an organic
nature. Class 8 (corrosive) materials assigned this special provision
would also be allowed to be stowed over packages of flammable liquids
also assigned this special provision.
Part 176
Section 176.90
Section 176.90 prescribes requirements for private automobiles
carrying Class 1 hazardous materials on board ferry vessels. There are
four SPs that provide relief for ferry transport of private automobiles
carrying engines, gasoline, and propane. DOT-SP 7465, 11150, 13213, and
14458 all contain slightly different provisions to facilitate this
process safely. Where differences exist between these permits, PHMSA
has attempted to choose the least restrictive provision for adoption.
PHMSA specifically requests comments on this approach.
PHMSA is proposing to renumber the existing lone paragraph as
paragraph (a), and to add a new paragraph (b) to adopt an exception for
``Engines, internal
[[Page 5419]]
combustion, flammable gas powered or flammable liquid powered,
including when fitted in machinery or vehicles (i.e. motor vehicles,
recreational vehicles, campers, trailers), vehicle flammable liquid or
flammable gas powered, gasoline, and petroleum gases, liquefied or
liquefied petroleum gas'' when included as part of a motor home,
recreational vehicle, camper, or trailer when carried on board ferry
vessels subject to certain operational controls.
In this NPRM, PHMSA is proposing to revise this section to allow
items normally offered as engines, vehicles, gasoline, or propane in
private automobiles aboard ferry vessels to receive exceptions with
certain restrictions. These restrictions include: (1) Cylinders must be
visually inspected for defects, cracks, or leaks, and gasoline
containers must show no signs of damage or leakage; (2) cylinders of
liquefied petroleum gas must have the cylinders securely attached to
recreational vehicles; (3) extra containers of gasoline (including camp
stove or lantern fuel) and portable cylinders of liquefied petroleum
gas (including cylinders for camping equipment) not securely attached
to recreational vehicles must be stowed in the vessel's paint locker;
(4) liquefied petroleum gas cylinders must be secured by closing the
shut-off valves prior to the recreational vehicles being loaded on the
vessel; (5) the owner or operator of each recreational vehicle must be
directed to close all operating valves within the vehicles, (6) ``no
smoking'' signs must be posted on the vehicle decks and, if used for
storage of hazardous materials in close proximity to the vessel's paint
locker; (7) a continuous patrol of the vehicle decks must be made by a
crewmember, and any unusual or dangerous situation must be reported to
the vessel's master; (8) passengers are allowed on the vehicle decks,
but are subject to the control of the crew personnel conducting the
continuous vehicle deck patrol; (9) vessel personnel responsible for
performing any function in the proposed section must be trained in
accordance with Subpart H of Part 172; and (10) shipments made under
this section are subject to the Hazardous Materials Incident Reporting
requirements.
E. Operational Highway/Rail/Shipper/Other
Part 171
Section 171.8
Section 171.8 defines terms generally used throughout the HMR that
have broad or multi-modal applicability. PHMSA is proposing to add the
following definition based on the proposed adoption of DOT-SP 11458:
Display pack: This term means a package intended to be placed on
the floor of retail stores which is designed to provide direct customer
access to consumer commodities contained within the package when all or
part of the outer fiberboard packaging is removed.
DOT-SP 11458 authorizes the transportation in commerce of display
packs of consumer commodity packages or limited quantity packages that
exceed the 30 kg gross weight limit. The provisions of DOT-SP 11458 are
being proposed for adoption into Sec. 173.156. However, the term
``display pack'' is not currently defined in the HMR. Therefore, in
this NPRM we are proposing to adopt the definition for ``display pack''
under Sec. 171.8 based upon the definition found in DOT-SP 11458.
Part 172
Section 172.102
Section 172.102 lists Special Provisions applicable to the
transportation of specific hazardous materials. Special Provisions
contain packaging requirements, prohibitions, and exceptions applicable
to particular quantities or forms of hazardous materials. PHMSA is
proposing the following revisions to the Sec. 172.102, Special
Provisions:
Special Provision 380
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 380 to adopt SP 10705. This
SP provides relief from the segregation requirements of Sec.
177.848(d) for the transport of UN1092, Acrolein, stabilized by private
carrier in a motor vehicle. The SP prescribes the packaging that must
be used and the materials with which acrolien, stabilized may be
loaded. The SP further specifies that the motor carrier must maintain a
satisfactory safety rating as prescribed in part 385 of CFR Title 49.
Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted under this
SP has an acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide
flexibility in transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of
safety, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in
this Special Provision. The provisions of DOT-SP 10705 are specific to
UN1092, Acrolein, stabilized; therefore, this Special Provision is
assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Special Provision 381
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 381 to adopt SP 7991. This
SP provides relief from the HMR for the transportation of railroad
flagging kits by highway. See Sec. 173.184 for a detailed discussion
of the proposed adoption of DOT-SP 7991. This Special Provision is
assigned to the following HMT entries: Fusee (rail or highway) (NA1325,
Division 4.1, PG II; Articles, pyrotechnic (UN0431, Division 1.4G, PG
II); Signal Devices, hand (UN0373, Division 1.4S, PG II); Signal
Devices, hand (UN0191, Division 1.4G, PG II); and Signals, railway
track, explosive (UN0193, Division 1.4S, PG II).
Special Provision 382
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 382 to adopt SP 8006. This
SP provides relief from the labeling requirements of Sec. 172.400(a)
for the transportation of toy plastic or paper caps for toy pistols by
motor vehicle, railcar, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft. See Sec.
172.400a(a)(8) for a detailed discussion of the proposed adoption of
DOT-SP 8006. This Special Provision is assigned to the following HMT
entries: Articles, explosive, n.o.s. (UN0349) and Toy caps (UN0337).
Special Provision 383
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 383 to adopt SP 11356. This
SP authorizes material meeting the conditions for high viscosity
flammable liquids specified in Sec. 173.121(b)(1)(i), (b)(1)(ii), and
(b)(1)(iv), to be re-classed to Packing Group III for transportation by
motor vehicle. The SP prescribes packaging, capacity limitations, and
load securement requirements. Based on our review, the fact that
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record,
and adopting it would provide flexibility in the transportation of
these materials while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this
Special Provision. This Special Provision is assigned to the following
HMT entries: Coating solution (UN1139, PG II) and paint (UN1263, PG
II).
Special Provision 384
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 384 to adopt SP 11666. This
SP authorizes the transportation of green graphite electrodes and
shapes that are large single component solid objects not subject to
sifting, in open rail flat cars, open bed motor vehicles, and
intermodal containers. The SP prescribes load securement requirements
for the electrodes and shapes. Based on our review, the fact that
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record,
and adopting it would provide flexibility in
[[Page 5420]]
the transportation of these articles and materials while maintaining an
equivalent level of safety, we are proposing to adopt the provisions of
the SP in its entirety in this Special Provision. This Special
Provision is assigned to the following HMT entries: Other regulated
substances, n.o.s. (NA3077, PG III) and Environmentally hazardous
substances, solid, n.o.s. (UN3077, PG III)
Special Provision 385
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision 385 to adopt SP 13343. This
SP authorizes the use of cargo heaters when weather conditions are such
that the freezing of certain wetted explosive material is likely.
Shipments must be made by private, leased or contract carrier vehicles
in exclusive use. Cargo heaters must be reverse refrigeration (heat
pump) units. Shipments made in accordance with the SP are excepted from
the anti-freeze requirements of Sec. 173.60(b)(4). Based on our
review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility to
motor carriers engaged in the transportation of these explosive
materials while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this
Special Provision. The provisions of DOT-SP 13343 are specific to
Trinitroresorcinol, wetted or Styphnic acid, wetted with not less than
20% water, or mixture of alcohol and water by mass (UN0394); therefore
this Special Provision is assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Special Provision B130
PHMSA proposes to add Special Provision B130 to adopt SP 14525.
This SP provides relief from the HMR except for the shipping paper
requirements of Subpart C of Part 172, emergency response information
as required by Sec. 172.602, and the marking requirements of Sec.
172.302,(a), (b), and (d) when transporting used diatomaceous earth
filter material by highway. The SP prescribes packaging, quantity
limitations, and the required method of storing the packages within the
motor vehicle. Based on our review, the fact that transportation
conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record, and adopting
it would provide flexibility to private motor carriers engaged in pest
control operations while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we
are proposing to adopt the provisions of the SP in its entirety in this
Special Provision. The provisions of SP 14525 are specific to self-
heating solid, organic, n.o.s. (UN3088); therefore this Special
Provision is assigned exclusively to that HMT entry.
Section 172.202
Section 172.202 establishes requirements for shipping descriptions
on shipping papers. As part of these shipping paper requirements, in
many situations a net or gross quantity of the hazardous materials must
be included. SP 11811 provides relief from this requirement for local
collections operations transporting hazardous materials and hazardous
substances by highway that are ``household wastes'' as described in 40
CFR 261.4 and not subject to the Environmental Protection Agency's
hazardous waste regulations in 40 CFR, Parts 262 and 263. Based on our
review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility to
shippers while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to revise paragraph (c) of Sec. 172.202 to adopt the
provisions of SP 11811 in its entirety.
Section 172.315
Section 172.315 establishes requirements for the marking of
packages containing limited quantities of hazardous materials. For
transportation by highway by private carrier SP 11197 provides relief
from the requirement to display the limited quantity marking on
packages containing materials assigned to Packing Groups II and III
prepared in accordance with the limited quantity requirements in Part
173. The relief offered by SP 11197 does not include materials assigned
to Classes 1, and 7, and Division 6.1 and 6.2 materials. The SP
prescribes inner packaging and package quantity limitations; the
maximum gross weight of packages that may be transported in one
vehicle; and special package marking requirements. Based on our review,
the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable
safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility in
transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(3) to Sec. 172.315 to adopt the
provisions of SP 11197 in its entirety.
Section 172.400a
Section 172.400a provides exceptions from the Sec. 172.400 general
labeling requirements for packages or containment devices containing
hazardous materials and offered for transportation or transported in
commerce. SP 8006 provides relief from the Sec. 172.400 general
labeling requirements for toy plastic or paper caps for toy pistols
described as ``UN0349, Articles, explosive, n.o.s. (Toy caps), 1.4S, PG

composition of each cap. The SP also prescribes quantity limitations
and packaging, segregation, and special marking requirements. Based on
our review, the fact that transportation conducted under this SP has an
acceptable safety record, and adopting it would provide flexibility in
transportation while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(8) to Sec. 172.400a to adopt the
provisions of SP 8006 in its entirety.
Part 173
Section 173.12
Section 173.12 provides certain exceptions and authorizations for
the transportation of waste materials. SP 11470 authorizes
transportation by motor vehicle and cargo vessel of shrink-wrapped
pallets containing boxes of waste ORM-D or limited quantity materials
when marked with the word ``WASTE'' on the outside of the pallet
instead of each individual box. The SP prescribes packaging and marking
requirements for the waste materials. In addition, under a petition for
rulemaking under petition number P-1611, COSTHA also requested that
PHMSA adopt this SP into the HMR. Based on our review, the fact that
transportation conducted under this SP has an acceptable safety record,

in operations while maintaining an equivalent level of safety, we are
proposing to revise paragraph (i)(3) and (i)(4) of Sec. 177.834 to
adopt the provisions of these SPs in their entirety.
SPs 13484 and 14447 authorize ``attendance'' of the loading or
unloading of a cargo tank through the use of hoses equipped with cable
connected wedges, plungers, or flapper valves located at each end of
the hose, able to stop the flow of product from both the source and the
receiving tank within one second without human intervention in the
event of a hose rupture, disconnection, or separation. The SPs
prescribe inspection requirements and operational controls for use of
the hoses. Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted
under these SPs have an acceptable safety record, and adopting them
would provide flexibility in operations while maintaining an equivalent
level of safety, we are proposing to revise paragraphs (i)(3) and
(i)(4) of Sec. 177.834 to adopt the provisions of SPs 13484 and 14447
in their entirety.
SPs 10597, 10803, 10882, 14618, and 14726 authorize the use of

Division 2.3, Hazard Zone A materials with specification non-bulk
packagings and IBCs containing only the residue of Division 2.1, 4.3,
5.1, and Class 3 and 8 materials. The SP prescribes separation and
securement requirements, operational controls, quantity limitations,
and carrier safety rating requirements.
Based on our review, the fact that transportation conducted under
these
[[Page 5423]]
SPs have an acceptable safety record, and adopting them would provide
flexibility in highway operations while maintaining an equivalent level
of safety, we are proposing to add a new paragraph (a)(3) to Sec.
177.840 to adopt the provisions of SPs 11043 and 14335 in their
entirety.
Section 177.841
Section 177.841 establishes specific operational requirements for

F. Non-Bulk Packaging Specifications/IBCs
Part 172
Section 172.101
The Sec. 172.101 HMT designates the materials listed therein as
hazardous materials for the purpose of transportation of those
materials. For each listed material, the HMT identifies the hazard
class or specifies that the material is forbidden in transportation,
and gives the proper shipping name or directs the user to the preferred
proper shipping name. In addition, the HMT specifies or references
requirements in this subchapter pertaining to labeling, packaging,
quantity limits aboard aircraft, and stowage of hazardous materials
aboard vessels. We are proposing to revise several entries in the HMT
to adopt SPs relating to non-bulk packagings and IBCs. Specifically,
for ``UN1415, Lithium,'' ``UN2257, Potassium,'' ``UN3190, Self-heating
solid, inorganic, n.o.s.,'' ``UN1428, Sodium,'' ``UN1381, Phosphorus,
yellow, under water'' and ``UN2813, Water-reactive solid, n.o.s.'' for
Packing Groups II and III, we are proposing to add a reference to Sec.
173.151 to provide packaging exceptions for relevant Hazard Class 4
materials. These proposed revisions are discussed below.
Part 173
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 provides specific packaging requirements for
explosives. DOT-SP 12335 authorizes the transportation in commerce by
motor vehicle, cargo vessel, and cargo aircraft when authorized in the
HMT and passenger-carrying aircraft, when authorized for carriage by
hazmat table and used exclusively to transport personnel to remote work
sites of certain Division 1.1D and 1.4D detonating cords without the
ends being sealed in alternative packaging, provided that the inner
packaging containing the detonating cord is made of a static-resistant
plastic bag of at least 3 mil thickness and the bag is securely closed
for transportation. We have noted nine violations related to shipments
moving under DOT-SP 12335. However, the violations did not involve
safety issues with the permit. Thus, we propose to adopt the provisions
of the SP in its entirety in Sec. 173.62.
Section 173.150
Section 173.150 provides exceptions from the HMR for certain Class
3 flammable liquid material. This section includes exceptions for
limited quantities, consumer commodities, alcoholic beverages, aqueous
solutions of alcohol and combustible liquids. In this NPRM, PHMSA is
proposing to add a paragraph (h) to include an exception that would
permit Diesel fuel (UN1202 or NA1993) and Gasoline (UN1203) to be
transported one way, by motor vehicle, directly from the loading
location to an equipment repair facility in non-specification non-bulk
packaging, known as a gasoline dispenser. Specifically, shipments
wishing to use this exception would be required to transport the
material in a gasoline dispenser and prior to loading, each dispenser
must be capped or plugged all product inlet and outlet piping, so that
no fluid may be released during transportation. Furthermore, no
dispenser may contain more than 2 gallons of gasoline, and each
dispenser must be blocked, braced or strapped to the motor vehicle to
prevent movement during transportation. This revision is proposed to
adopt DOT-SP 13217. Based on our review, the fact the SP has no
violations or reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the
general applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its
provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.150.
Section 173.151
Section 173.151 provides exceptions for Class 4 materials. In this
NPRM we are proposing to add new paragraph (e) that would except
``Lithium, UN1415,'' ``Potassium, UN2257,'' and ``Sodium, UN1428,''
with a net quantity of material per inner packaging not exceeding 25
grams, from the labeling requirements of Part 172, Subpart E and the
placarding requirements of Part 172 Subpart F, if they are offered for
transportation or transported in the packagings with conditions set
forth in that paragraph. We are also establishing new paragraph (f) to
authorize shipment of Self-heating solid, inorganic, n.o.s, in unlined,
non-DOT specification multi-wall paper bags containing a maximum of 55
pounds (net) weight. We are further adding new paragraph (g) to
authorize Water reactive solid, n.o.s. (contains magnesium, magnesium
nitrides) in Packing Group II or III to be contained in sift-proof bulk
packagings. These revisions would adopt DOT-SP 11602, 13796, and 15373.
DOT-SP 11602 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain
Division 4.3 materials contained in sift-proof closed bulk packagings
that prevent that prevent water from reaching the hazmat and have
sufficient venting to preclude a dangerous accumulation of gaseous
emissions. Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or
reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its
provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.151.
DOT-SP 13796 authorizes the transportation in commerce of ``UN1381,
Phosphorus, yellow, under water,'' in a 30 gallon UN 1A2 steel drum
certified as a minimum to the PG I performance level for solids and the
PG II performance level for liquids and as a minimum dual marked as a
UN1A2/X400/S (for solid) and UN1A2 Y/1.4/150 (for liquids). Based on
our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents,
and that its adoption would expand the general applicability in a safe
manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in
Sec. 173.151.
DOT-SP 15373 authorizes the manufacture, mark, sale and use of the
specially designed combination packagings described herein for
transportation in commerce of ``UN1415, Lithium,'' ``UN2257,
Potassium,'' and ``UN1428, Sodium8,'' without hazard labels or
placards, with quantity limits not exceeding 25 grams.
[[Page 5424]]
Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported
incidents, and adopting it would expand the general applicability in a
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety
in Sec. 173.151.
Section 173.154
Section 173.154 provides exceptions for Class 8, corrosive
materials. We are proposing to establish a new paragraph (b)(3) to
authorize polyethylene bottles with rated capacities of one gallon
(3.785 liters), packed inside an open-top, heavy wall, high density
polyethylene box for shipping Packing Group II and III corrosives. We
are also proposing to establish new paragraph (e) to authorize
hydrochloric acid concentration not exceeding 38%, in Packing Group II
to be contained in UN31H1 or UN31HH1 intermediate bulk containers when
loaded in accordance with the requirements of Sec. 173.35(h). These
revisions would adopt DOT-SP 6614, 12030, and 14137.
DOT-SP 6614 authorizes the use of polyethylene bottles placed in a
polyethylene crate for the transportation in commerce of ``Compounds,
cleaning liquid (consisting of solutions containing potassium
hydroxide, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid), NA1760, PG II or
III,'' ``Corrosive liquid, basic, inorganic, n.o.s. (Potassium
hydroxide), PG II, and Corrosive liquid, basic, inorganic, n.o.s.
(Sodium hydroxide), PG II, UN3266,'' ``Corrosive liquid, acidic,
inorganic, n.o.s. (Phosphoric acid and Nitric acid), UN3264, PG II''
``Corrosive liquid, acidic, organic, n.o.s. (Glycolic acid), UN3265, PG
III'' ``Hypochlorite solutions, UN1791, PG III,'' ``Hydrochloric acid
solution (with not over 32% strength), UN1789, PG II'' and ``Sulfuric
acid (with not more than 51% acid), UN2796, PG II.'' PHMSA has on file
sixty-seven violations related to shipments moving under DOT-SP 6614.
However, the violations did not involve safety issues with the permit.
We are proposing to adopt the permit, and extend it to all corrosive
materials of Packing Groups II or III based on the history of no
violations involving safety issues and no reported incidents.
DOT-SP 12030 authorizes the transportation in commerce of a
combination packaging with a maximum gross weight not over 37.0 kg,
consisting of one UN6HG2 composite packaging containing battery fluid
and one UN4G fiberboard box containing a dry storage battery. The
UN6HG2 composite packaging has a maximum capacity of 8.0 liters and is
marked as meeting the requirement for Packaging Group II. Based on our
review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we
are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in a new
paragraph (f) in Sec. 173.154.
DOT-SP 14137 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain
hydrochloric acid solutions in UN31H1 or UN31HH1 when loaded in
conformance with the requirements in Sec. 173.35(h) and the
hydrochloric acid concentration does not exceed 38%. Based on our
review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and
adopting it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we
are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.154.
Section 173.158
Section 173.158 provides general requirements and exceptions for
shipments and packagings of nitric acid. In this NPRM, we are proposing
to establish a new paragraph (i) to authorize ``Nitric acid of up to
40% concentration'' in a UN1H1 non-removable head plastic drums with
certain conditions set forth in that paragraph and add new paragraph
(j) for the transportation of ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming,
with more than 70% nitric acid'' and ``Nitric acid, other than red
fuming, with not more than 70% nitric acid'' in a combination packaging
when offered for transportation or transported by rail, highway, or
cargo vessel. These proposed revisions would adopt DOT-SP 8230 and
14213.
DOT-SP 8230 authorizes the transportation in commerce of Packing
Groups I and II nitric acids in certain combination packagings by motor
vehicle, rail freight, cargo vessel and cargo-only aircraft.
Specifically, ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming, with more than 70%
nitric acid'' and ``Nitric acid, other than red fuming, with not more
than 70% nitric acid'' is authorized to be transported in inner plastic
bottles in rigid foam plastic receptacles or plastic bags lined
absorbent material in outer packagings. Based on our review, the fact
the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and adopting it would
expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to
adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.158.
DOT-SP 14213 authorizes the manufacture, marking, sale and use of
UN1H1 plastic drums to be used for the transportation in commerce of
nitric acid with not more than 40% nitric acid. Based on our review,
the fact the SP has no violations or reported incidents, and adopting
it would expand the general applicability in a safe manner, we are
proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.158.
Section 173.159
Section 173.159 provides packaging and shipping specifications and
exceptions for wet batteries. We are proposing to revise paragraph (e)
to include both shipments of electric storage batteries containing
electrolyte or corrosive battery fluid, and electric storage batteries
and battery acid. This change would adopt DOT-SP 13548.
DOT-SP 13548 authorizes the transportation in commerce of lead acid
batteries and packages of battery acid with two different UN numbers on
the same motor vehicle with the packages secured against movement.
Based on our review, the fact the SP has no violations or reported
incidents, and adopting it would expand the general applicability in a
safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its provisions in its entirety
in Sec. 173.159.
Section 173.181
Section 173.181 sets forth packaging and shipping requirements for
Pyrophoric materials (liquids). In this NPRM, we are proposing to add
new paragraph (d) to authorize the transportation in commerce of
certain pyrophoric materials in a combination package consisting of
UN1A2 outer package and a UN1A1 inner package. This revision would
adopt DOT-SP 12920.
DOT-SP 12920 authorizes the transportation in commerce of certain
pyrophoric materials in a combination package consisting of UN1A2 outer
package and a UN1A1 inner package, with no more than two (2) inner
drums placed inside the outer drum. PHMSA has on file six violations
related to shipments moving under DOT-SP 12920. However, the violations
did not involve safety issues with the permit; rather, they pertained
to non-compliance with the permit or the HMR. Based on our review, the
fact the SP has no violations involving safety issues with the permit
and no reported incidents, and adopting it would expand the general
applicability in a safe manner, we are proposing to adopt its
provisions in its entirety in Sec. 173.181.
V. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking
This rulemaking is issued under the authority of the Federal
hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.).
Section 5103(b) authorizes
[[Page 5425]]
the Secretary of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe
transportation, including security, of hazardous materials in
intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. This rulemaking proposes
adoption of certain special permits into the hazardous materials
regulations.
B. Executive Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, Executive Order 13610,
and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This proposed rulemaking is not considered a significant regulatory
action under Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and
Review''), as supplemented and reaffirmed by Executive Order 13563
(``Improving Regulation and Regulatory Review''), stressing that, to
the extent permitted by law, an agency rulemaking action must be based
on benefits that justify its costs, impose the least burden, consider
cumulative burdens, maximize benefits, use performance objectives, and
assess available alternatives, and the Regulatory Policies and
Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Executive
Orders 12866 and 13563 require agencies to regulate in the ``most cost-
effective manner,'' to make a ``reasoned determination that the
benefits of the intended regulation justify its costs,'' and to develop
regulations that ``impose the least burden on society.''
Executive Order 13610, issued May 10, 2012, urges agencies to
conduct retrospective analyses of existing rules to examine whether
they remain justified and whether they should be modified or
streamlined in light of changed circumstances, including the rise of
new technologies. By building off of each other, these three Executive
Orders require agencies to regulate in the ``most cost-effective
manner,'' to make a ``reasoned determination that the benefits of the
intended regulation justify its costs,'' and to develop regulations
that ``impose the least burden on society.''
In this notice of proposed rulemaking, PHMSA is proposing to amend
the HMR to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used or long-
standing SPs that have an established safety record. The proposed
revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory
flexibility offered in SPs and eliminate the need for numerous renewal
requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce
while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. PHMSA assumes that
for most regulated entities in these categories, the revisions proposed
in this notice of proposed rulemaking requires little or no change to
existing practice or behavior and incremental compliance costs will
thus be close to zero. At the same time, the potential for additional
safety benefits is also very limited in these cases, as existing
practice and operations are already minimizing the number of incidents.
Estimated benefits associated with this rule result from the
regulated community no longer being required to apply for SP sand
amount to approximately $12,000 annually. Costs associated with the
rule are estimated to be negligible annually. Current SP holders are
already complying with the proposed requirements and, if adopted, these
requirements would not impose new requirements on current non-holders
of SPs. The overall costs and benefits of the rule are dependent on the
level of pre-existing compliance and the overall effectiveness of the
new requirements specified in this rulemaking
C. Executive Order 13132
This notice of proposed rulemaking has been analyzed in accordance
with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132
(``Federalism''), 64 FR 43255 (Aug. 10, 1999) and the President's May
20, 2009 memorandum (74 FR 24693 [May 22, 2009]). The requirements in
this proposed rule would preempt state, local, and Indian tribe
requirements but would not have substantial direct effects on the
States, the relationship between the national government and the
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government. Therefore, the consultation and funding
requirements of Executive Order 13132 do not apply.
The Federal hazardous materials transportation law, 49 U.S.C. 5101
et seq., contains an express preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b))
preempting State, local, and Indian tribe requirements on the following
subjects:
(1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous
materials;
(2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and
placarding of hazardous materials;
(3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents
related to hazardous materials and requirements related to the number,
contents, and placement of those documents;
(4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; or
(5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, marking, maintenance,
recondition, repair, or testing of a packaging or container
represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in
transporting hazardous material.
Federal hazardous materials transportation law provides at 49
U.S.C. 5125(b)(2) that, if DOT issues a regulation concerning any of
these subjects, DOT must determine and publish in the Federal Register
the effective date of Federal preemption. The effective date may not be
earlier than the 90th day following the date of issuance of the final
rule and not later than 2 years after the date of issuance.
This proposed rule would address subject areas (1), (2), (3), and
(5) above and would preempt any state, local, or Indian tribe
requirements concerning these subjects unless the non-Federal
requirements are ``substantively the same'' as the Federal
requirements. The effective date of Federal preemption is April 30,
2015.
D. Executive Order 13175
This notice of proposed rulemaking has been analyzed in accordance
with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175
(``Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments'').
Because this NPRM does not have tribal implications and does not impose
substantial direct compliance costs, the funding and consultation
requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply.
E. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13272, and DOT
Procedures and Policies
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires an
agency to review regulations to assess their impact on small entities
unless the agency determines that a rule is not expected to have a
significant impact on a substantial number of small entities. The
primary costs to small entities associated with this proposed rule
include developing and updating a risk assessment, developing and
updating operating procedures, and additional training for hazmat
employees who perform loading and unloading operations.
PHMSA expects the impacts of this rule will be limited for many
small entities due to their compliance with other existing Federal
regulations. In this notice of proposed rulemaking, PHMSA also
explicitly acknowledges that many regulated entities are holders of SPs
or are part of industry associations with voluntary codes of safe
practice, and that these may be sufficient for compliance with the
proposed rule as long as all of the relevant safety areas are addressed
and documented. For regulated entities in
[[Page 5426]]
these categories, the notice of proposed rulemaking requires little or
no change to existing practices or behavior and incremental compliance
costs will thus be close to zero. Therefore, the benefit and cost
figures discussed below should be viewed as upper bounds, both of which
will be reduced by the extent of current practice.
PHMSA estimates that there are 50 potentially affected small
entities. The annualized documentation cost for developing and updating
the risk assessment and the operating procedures is estimated to be
$375/small entity. The annualized cost of additional training for
affected employees is estimated to be approximately $5.50/employee.
Further, PHMSA estimates that approximately 50% of small businesses are
already implementing procedures that would be compliant with this
notice of proposed rulemaking. Based upon the above estimates and
assumptions, PHMSA certifies that this notice of proposed rulemaking
does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of
small entities. Further information on the estimates and assumptions
used to evaluate the potential impacts to small entities is available
in the Regulatory Impact Assessment that has been placed in the public
docket for this rulemaking.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
PHMSA currently has an approved information collection under OMB
Control No. 2137-0051, entitled ``Special Permits and Approvals,''
expiring on May 31, 2015. Section 1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations, requires PHMSA to provide interested members of the public
and affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests. This rulemaking adds new
exceptions to the HMR while eliminating the need for persons to apply
for a SP, resulting in a decrease in burden. PHMSA estimates the
reduction in information collection burden as follows:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
OMB Control No. 2137-0051: SPs and Approvals
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Decrease in Annual Number of Respondents:...... 98
Decrease in Annual Responses:.................. 98
Decrease in Annual Burden Hours:............... 196
Decrease in Annual Burden Cost:................ $12,337.00
------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are 728 grantees associated with the 98 special permits being
proposed for adoption in this rulemaking. Over 10 years, a SP would on
average be renewed twice, resulting in 1,456 renewals (728 x 2). The
average number of applications per year would be approximately 146
(1,456/10). The annual estimated cost savings would total $12,337.00
(146 number of renewals per year x $39.50/hr. preparation cost; 146
renewals per year x $45.00/hr compliance cost).
Please direct your requests for a copy of this final information
collection to Steven Andrews or T. Glenn Foster, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards (PHH-12), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue SE., 2nd Floor, Washington, DC
20590-0001.
G. 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 year. The RIN contained in the heading of
this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the
Unified Agenda.
H. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
This notice of proposed rulemaking does not impose unfunded
mandates under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. PHMSA has
concluded that the rule will not impose annual expenditures of $141.3
million on State, local, or tribal governments or the private sector,
and thus does not require an Unfunded Mandates Act analysis.
I. Executive Order 13609 and International Trade Analysis
Under E.O. 13609, agencies must consider whether the impacts
associated with significant variations between domestic and
international regulatory approaches are unnecessary or may impair the
ability of American business to export and compete internationally. In
meeting shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues, international regulatory cooperation
can identify approaches that are at least as protective as those that
are or would be adopted in the absence of such cooperation.
International regulatory cooperation can also reduce, eliminate, or
prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements.
Similarly, the Trade Agreements Act of 1979 (Pub. L. 96-39), as
amended by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (Pub. L. 103-465),
prohibits Federal agencies from establishing any standards or engaging
in related activities that create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign
commerce of the United States. For purposes of these requirements,
Federal agencies may participate in the establishment of international
standards, so long as the standards have a legitimate domestic
objective, such as providing for safety, and do not operate to exclude
imports that meet this objective. The statute also requires
consideration of international standards and, where appropriate, that
they be the basis for U.S. standards.
PHMSA participates in the establishment of international standards
in order to protect the safety of the American public, and we have
assessed the effects of the proposed rule to ensure that it does not
cause unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade. Accordingly, this
rulemaking is consistent with E.O. 13609 and PHMSA's obligations under
the Trade Agreement Act, as amended.
J. Environmental Assessment
PHMSA proposes to adopt provisions contained in certain widely-used
or long-standing SPs that have an established safety record. The
proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the
regulatory flexibility offered in SPs and eliminate the need for
numerous renewal requests, thus reducing paperwork burdens and
facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), 42 U.S.C. 4321-4375,
requires that federal agencies analyze proposed actions to determine
whether the action will have a significant impact on the human
environment. The Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) regulations
order federal agencies to conduct an environmental review considering
(1) the need for the proposed action (2) alternatives to the proposed
action (3) probable environmental impacts of the proposed action and
alternatives and (4) the agencies and persons consulted during
[[Page 5427]]
the consideration process. 40 CFR 1508.9(b). A detailed NEPA assessment
has been placed in the docket for this rulemaking for public review.
K. Privacy Act
Anyone is able to search the electronic form of any written
communications and comments received into any of our dockets by the
name of the individual submitting the document (or signing the
document, if submitted on behalf of an association, business, labor
union, etc.). You may review DOT's complete Privacy Act Statement in
the Federal Register published on April 11, 2000 (65 FR 19477) which
may be viewed at: https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2000-04-11/pdf/00-8505.pdf.
L. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15
U.S.C. 272 note) directs federal agencies to use voluntary consensus
standards in their regulatory activities unless doing so would be
inconsistent with applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary
consensus standards are technical standards (e.g. specification of
materials, test methods, or performance requirements) that are
developed or adopted by voluntary consensus standard bodies.
This proposed rulemaking does not involve voluntary consensus
standards.

(122[emsp14][deg]F)). If the contents are sensitive to heat, the
temperature of the bath must be set at between 20 [deg]C
(68[emsp14][deg]F) and 30 [deg]C (86[emsp14][deg]F) but, in addition,
one container in 2,000 must be tested at the higher temperature. No
leakage or permanent deformation of a container may occur. However,
instead of this standard water bath test, container(s) may be tested
using one of the following methods subject to certain conditions--
(A) Alternative water bath test. (1) One filled container in a lot
of 2,000 must be subjected to a test performed in a hot water bath; the
temperature of the bath and the duration of the test must be such that
the internal pressure reaches that which would be reached at 55 [deg]C
(131[emsp14][deg]F). If the container shows evidence of leakage or
permanent deformation, the lot of 2,000 containers must be rejected;
(2) A second filled container in the lot of 2,000 must be weighed
and compared to the weight specification for the containers as
documented in the operating procedures for the weight test. Failure of
the container to meet the weight specification is evidence of leakage
or overfilling and the lot of 2,000 must be rejected;
(3) The remainder of the containers in the lot of 2,000 must be
visually inspected (e.g, examination of the seams). Containers showing
evidence of leakage or overfilling must not be transported; and
(4) Each person employing this test must maintain a copy of the
operating procedures (or an electronic file thereof) that is accessible
at, or through, its principal place of business and must make the
procedures available upon request, at a reasonable time and location,
to an authorized official of the Department of Transportation.
(B) Automated pressure test. Each person employing an automated
process for pressure testing of filled containers must develop
procedures for implementation of the test. Each person must maintain a
copy of the procedures (or an electronic file thereof) that is
accessible at, or through, its principal place of business and must
make the procedures available upon request, at a reasonable time and
location, to an authorized official of the Department of
Transportation. The procedures must, at a minimum, include instruction
on the following:
(1) Pressure specifications. Each person must specify pressure
standard(s) (e.g. a pressure limit or range) for a container respective
of the design and/or contents. Each container, after it is filled, must
be pressure checked and compared to the standards. For a pressure
limit, any container exceeding the pressure limit must be rejected. For
a pressure range, any container outside of the set range must be
rejected. The instruments used to determine the pressure must be
properly calibrated before a production run to an accuracy of +/- or
better; and
(2) Periodic inspection. At designated intervals, a randomly
selected container must be inspected for proper closure and
verification of filling pressure. If a container shows signs of
improper closure or over-filling, five (5) additional randomly selected
containers must be inspected. If any of the additional containers show
signs of improper closure or over-filling, all containers produced
since the last inspection must be rejected.
(C) Weight test. Each person employing a weight test of filled
containers must develop procedures for implementation of the test. Each
person must maintain a copy of the procedures (or an electronic file
thereof) that is accessible at, or through, its principal place of
business and must make the procedures available upon request, at a
reasonable time and location, to an authorized official of the
Department of Transportation. The procedures must, at a minimum,
include instruction on the following:
(1) Weight specifications. Each person must specify target weight
specifications for a particular container. Each container, after it is
filled, must be weighed and compared to the target weight specification
for the container. Any container outside the target weight
specification is an indication of leakage or overfilling and must be
rejected. The instruments used to determine the weight must be properly
calibrated before a testing run and be sufficiently sensitive to
measure within 0.10 g of the true weight of the container;
(2) Heat testing and pressure limits. One container out of each lot
of successfully filled containers must be heat tested by raising the
internal pressure until it reaches that which would be reached at 55
[deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F). The lot size should be no greater than
2,000. If the pressure in the container exceeds the maximum pressure
allowed for the container type or if the container shows signs of
leakage or permanent deformation, the lot must be rejected.
Alternatively, five (5) additional randomly selected containers from
the lot may be tested to qualify the lot but if any of the five
containers fail the test, the entire lot must be rejected;
(3) Periodic inspection. At designated intervals, a randomly
selected container must be inspected for proper closure and
verification of filling pressure. If a container shows signs of
improper closure or over-filling, five (5) additional randomly selected
containers must be inspected. If any of the additional containers show
signs of improper closure or over-filling, all containers produces
since the last inspection must be rejected; and
(4) Visual inspection. Each container must be visually inspected
prior to being packaged. Any container showing signs of leakage or
permanent deformation must be rejected.
(D) Leakage test. (1) Pressure and leak testing before filling.
Each empty container must be subjected to a pressure equal to or in
excess of the maximum expected in the filled containers at 55 [deg]C
(131[emsp14][deg]F) (or 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid
phase does not exceed 95% of the capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C
(122[emsp14][deg]F)). This must be at least two-thirds of the design
pressure of the container. If any container shows evidence of leakage
at a rate equal to or greater than 3.3 x 10-2 mbar L/s at the test
pressure, distortion or other defect, it must be rejected; and
(2) Testing after filling. The person filling each container must
ensure that the crimping equipment is set appropriately and the
specified propellant is used before filling a container. Once filled,
each container must be weighed and leak tested. The leak detection
equipment must be sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a leak rate
of 2.0 x 10-3 mbar L/s at 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F). Any filled
container which shows evidence of leakage, deformation, or overfilling
must be rejected.
(vi) Each outer packaging must be marked ``INSIDE CONTAINERS COMPLY
WITH PRESCRIBED REGULATIONS.''
(4) When in gas samples transported under the following conditions:
(i) A gas sample may only be transported as non-pressurized gas
when its pressure corresponding to ambient atmospheric pressure in the
[[Page 5441]]
container is not more than 105 kPa absolute (15.22 psia).
(ii) Non-pressurized gases, toxic (or toxic and flammable) must be
packed in hermetically sealed glass or metal inner packagings of not
more than one L (0.3 gallons) overpacked in a strong outer packaging.
(iii) Non-pressurized gases, flammable must be packed in
hermetically sealed glass or metal inner packagings of not more than 5
L (1.3 gallons) and overpacked in a strong outer packaging.
(5) For limited quantities of Division 2.2 gases with no subsidiary
risk, when in a plastic aerosol (see Sec. 171.8 of this subchapter for
a definition of aerosol) container of a non-DOT specification or a DOT
2S, provided all of the following conditions are met. Additional
exceptions for material in packaging conforming to this paragraph
(a)(5) are provided in paragraph (i) of this section.
(i) Capacity. The capacity of the container must not exceed 1 L
(61.0 cubic inches).
(ii) General pressure conditions. The authorized plastic aerosol
containers and associated pressure limits are provided in the following
table. The pressure in the container must not exceed 160 psig at 55
[deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) except as may be authorized for variations,
if any, of a DOT specification container type. In any event, the metal
container must be capable of withstanding without bursting a pressure
of at least one and one-half times the equilibrium pressure of the
contents at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).

(iii) Liquid fill. Liquid content of the material and gas must not
completely fill the container at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F).
(iv) Outer packaging. The containers must be packed in strong outer
packagings.
(v) Pressure testing. Except as provided in paragraph (a)(5)(vi) of
this section, each container must be subjected to a test performed in a
hot water bath; the temperature of the bath and the duration of the
test must be such that the internal pressure reaches that which would
be reached at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) or 50 [deg]C
(122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid phase does not exceed 95% of the
capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F). If the
contents are sensitive to heat, or if the container is made of plastic
material which softens at this test temperature, the temperature of the
bath must be set at between 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F) and 30 [deg]C
(86[emsp14][deg]F) but, in addition, one container in 2,000 must be
tested at the higher temperature. No leakage or permanent deformation
of a container may occur except that a plastic container may be
deformed through softening provided that it does not leak.
(vi) Leakage test. As an alternative to the hot water bath test in
paragraph (a)(5)(v) of this section, testing may be performed as
follows:
(A) Pressure and leak testing before filling. Each empty container
must be subjected to a pressure equal to or in excess of the maximum
expected in the filled containers at 55 [deg]C (131[emsp14][deg]F) (or
50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) if the liquid phase does not exceed 95%
of the capacity of the container at 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F). This
must be at least two-thirds of the design pressure of the container. If
any container shows evidence of leakage at a rate equal to or greater
than 3.3 x 10-2 mbar L/s at the test pressure, distortion or other
defect, it must be rejected; and
(B) Testing after filling. Prior to filling, the filler must ensure
that the crimping equipment is set appropriately and the specified
propellant is used before filling the container. Once filled, each
container must be weighed and leak tested. The leak detection equipment
must be sufficiently sensitive to detect at least a leak rate of 2.0 x
10-3 mbar L/s at 20 [deg]C (68[emsp14][deg]F). Any filled container
which shows evidence of leakage, deformation, or excessive weight must
be rejected.
(vii) Each outer packaging must be marked ``INSIDE CONTAINERS
COMPLY WITH PRESCRIBED REGULATIONS.''
(b) Exceptions for foodstuffs, soap, biologicals, electronic tubes,
and audible fire alarm systems. Limited quantities of compressed gases

Sec. 174.67 Tank car unloading.
* * * * *
(g) The valve cap, or the reducer when a large outlet is to be
used, must be removed with a suitable wrench after the set screws are
loosened and a pail must be placed in position to catch any liquid that
may be in the outlet chamber. If the valve cap or reducer does not
unscrew easily, it may be tapped lightly with a mallet or wooden block
in an upward direction. If leakage shows upon starting the removal, the
cap or reducer may not be entirely unscrewed. Sufficient threads must
be left engaged and sufficient time allowed to permit controlled escape
of any accumulation of liquid in the outlet chamber. If the leakage
stops or the rate of leakage diminishes materially, the cap or reducer
may be entirely removed. If the initial rate of leakage continues,
further efforts must be made to seat the outlet valve (see paragraph
(f) of this section). If this fails, the cap or reducer must be screwed
up tight and the tank must be unloaded through the dome. If upon
removal of the outlet cap the outlet chamber is found to be blocked
with frozen liquid or any other matter, the cap must be replaced
immediately and a careful examination must be made to determine whether
the outlet casting has been cracked. If the obstruction is not frozen
liquid, the car must be unloaded through the dome. If the obstruction
is frozen liquid and no crack has been found in the outlet casting, the
car may, if circumstances require it, be unloaded from the bottom by
removing the cap and attaching unloading connections immediately.
Before opening the valve inside the tank car with a frozen liquid
blockage:
(1) Steam must be applied to the outside of the outlet casting or
wrap casting with burlap or other rags and apply hot water to the
wrapped casting to melt the frozen liquid; or
(2) For combustible liquid or Class 3 liquid petroleum distillate
fuels the blockage may be cleared by attaching a fitting to the outlet
line and applying nitrogen at a pressure of 50 to 100 psi.
