I. Executive Summary
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration (PHMSA)
proposes to amend the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171 to 180) to maintain
consistency with international
regulations and standards by
incorporating various amendments,
including changes to proper shipping
names, hazard classes, packing groups,
special provisions, packaging
authorizations, air transport quantity
limitations, and vessel stowage
requirements. This rulemaking project is
part of our ongoing biennial process to
harmonize the HMR with international
regulations and standards.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to
amend the HMR to maintain
consistency with various international
standards. The following are some of the
more noteworthy proposals set forth in
this NPRM:
• Incorporation by Reference:
PHMSA proposes to incorporate by
reference the newest versions of various
international hazardous materials
standards, including the 2017–2018
Edition of the International Civil
Aviation Organization Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO
Technical Instructions); Amendment
38–16 to the International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code);
the 19th Revised Edition of the United
Nations Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN
Model Regulations); the 6th Revised
Edition of the United Nations Manual of
Tests and Criteria; and the 6th Revised
Edition of the Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labelling
of Chemicals. Additionally, we propose
to update our incorporation by reference
of the Canadian Transportation of
Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations to
include SOR/2014–152 and SOR/2014–
159 published July 2, 2014; SOR/2014–
159 Erratum published July 16, 2014;
SOR/2014–152 Erratum published
August 27, 2014; SOR/2014–306
published December 31, 2014; SOR/
2014–306 Erratum published January
28, 2015; and SOR/2015–100 published
May 20, 2015. Finally, in this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes the adoption of
updated International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) standards.
• Hazardous Materials Table (HMT):
PHMSA proposes amendments to the
§ 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table
(HMT) consistent with recent changes in
the Dangerous Goods List of the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
ICAO Technical Instructions.
Specifically, we propose amendments to
the HMT to add, revise, or remove
certain proper shipping names, hazard
classes, packing groups, special
provisions, packaging authorizations,
bulk packaging requirements, and
passenger and cargo aircraft maximum
quantity limits.
• Provisions for Polymerizing
Substances: PHMSA proposes to revise
the HMT consistent with amendments
adopted into the UN Model Regulations.
Specifically, we propose to include into
the HMT four new Division 4.1 entries
for polymerizing substances and to add
into the HMR defining criteria,
authorized packagings, and safety
requirements including, but not limited
to, stabilization methods and
operational controls.
• Modification of the Marine
Pollutant List: PHMSA proposes to
modify the list of marine pollutants in
appendix B to § 172.101. The HMR
maintain this list as the basis for
regulating substances toxic to the
aquatic environment and allow use of
the criteria in the IMDG Code if a listed
material does not meet the criteria for a
marine pollutant. PHMSA periodically
updates this list based on changes to the
IMDG Code and evaluation of listed
materials.
• Packaging Requirements for WaterReactive Materials Transported by
Vessel: PHMSA proposes various
amendments to packaging requirements
for vessel transportation of waterreactive substances consistent with
requirements in the IMDG Code. The
amendments include changes to the
packaging requirements to require
certain commodities to have
hermetically sealed packaging and to
require other commodities—when
packed in flexible, fiberboard, or
wooden packagings—to have sift-proof
and water-resistant packaging or
packaging fitted with a sift-proof and
water-resistant liner.
• Hazard Communication
Requirements for Lithium Batteries:
PHMSA proposes to revise hazard
communication requirements for
shipments of lithium batteries
consistent with changes adopted in the
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations. Specifically, PHMSA
proposes to adopt a new lithium battery
label in place of the existing Class 9
label; to amend the existing marking
requirements for small lithium battery
shipments in § 173.185(c) to incorporate
a new standard lithium battery mark for
use across all modes; 1 to delete the
1 Small cells and batteries for the purposes of this
rulemaking are a lithium metal cell containing not

Jkt 238001
documentation requirement in
§ 173.185(c) for shipments of small
lithium cells and batteries; and to
require the lithium battery mark be
applied to each package containing
small lithium cells or batteries
contained in equipment when there are
more than four lithium cells or two
lithium batteries installed in the
equipment or where there are more than
two packages in the consignment.
• Engine, Internal Combustion/
Machinery, Internal Combustion:
PHMSA proposes to harmonize the
HMT proper shipping names utilized for
the transportation of engines and
machinery containing engines with
those in the UN Model Regulations.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes
harmonization with the IMDG Code for
domestic vessel shipments of engines,
internal combustion, and machinery
containing combustion engines. Under
the proposals in this NPRM, the existing
‘‘Engine, internal combustion’’ entries
would be assigned their own UN
numbers and hazard class based on the
type of fuel (e.g. a flammable liquid
powered engine is assigned a proper
shipping name with a Class 3
designation). Existing requirements and
exceptions for the transportation of
engines and machinery containing
engines transported by road, rail, and
aircraft would remain unchanged.
PHMSA is, however, proposing to
harmonize the transportation
requirements for transportation by
vessel, which includes varying degrees
of hazard communication based on the
type of fuel, amount of fuel, and
capacity of the fuel tank.
• U.S.-Canada Regulatory
Cooperation Council (RCC) Proposals:
PHMSA proposes several amendments
to the HMR resulting from coordination
with Canada under the U.S.-Canada
RCC. Specifically, we propose
provisions for recognition of Transport
Canada (TC) cylinders, equivalency
certificates (permit for equivalent level
of safety), and inspection and repair of
cargo tanks. These changes would be
made in conjunction with Transport
Canada proposing similar regulatory
changes that will provide reciprocal
recognition of DOT cylinders and DOT
special permits.
If adopted in a final rule, the
amendments proposed in this NPRM
will result in minimal burdens on the
regulated community. The benefits
more than 1 gram of lithium metal, a lithium metal
battery containing not more than 2 grams of lithium
metal, a lithium ion cell not more than 20 Watthours (Wh), and a lithium ion battery not more than
100 Wh (49 CFR 173.185(c) and Section II of
Packing Instructions 965 and 968 in the ICAO
Technical Instructions).

achieved from their adoption include
enhanced transportation safety resulting
from the consistency of domestic and
international hazard communication
and continued access to foreign markets
by U.S. manufacturers of hazardous
materials. PHMSA anticipates that most
of the amendments in this NPRM will
result in cost savings and will ease the
regulatory compliance burden for
shippers engaged in domestic and
international commerce, including
trans-border shipments within North
America.
PHMSA solicits comment from the
regulated community on these
amendments and others proposed in
this NPRM pertaining to need, benefits
and costs of international
harmonization, impact on safety, and
any other relevant concerns. In addition,
PHMSA solicits comment regarding
approaches to reducing the costs of this
rule while maintaining or increasing the
benefits. In its preliminary analysis,
PHMSA concluded that the aggregate
benefits of the amendments proposed in
this NPRM justify their aggregate costs.
Nonetheless, PHMSA solicits comment
on specific changes (i.e., greater
flexibility with regard to a particular
amendment) that might improve the
rule.
II. Background
Federal law and policy strongly favor
the harmonization of domestic and
international standards for hazardous
materials transportation. The Federal
hazardous materials transportation law
(49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq., ‘‘Federal hazmat
law’’) directs PHMSA to participate in
relevant international standard-setting
bodies and promotes consistency of the
HMR with international transport
standards to the extent practicable.
Although Federal hazmat law permits
PHMSA to depart from international
standards to promote safety or other
overriding public interest, it otherwise
encourages domestic and international
harmonization (see 49 U.S.C. 5120).
In a final rule published December 21,
1990 (Docket HM–181; 55 FR 52402),
PHMSA’s predecessor—the Research
and Special Programs Administration
(RSPA)—comprehensively revised the
HMR for international harmonization
with the UN Model Regulations. The
UN Model Regulations constitute a set
of recommendations issued by the
United Nations Sub-Committee of
Experts (UNSCOE) on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods (TDG) and the
Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS). The UN Model
Regulations are amended and updated
biennially by the UNSCOE and serve as

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
61744
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
the basis for national, regional, and
international modal regulations,
including the IMDG Code and the ICAO
Technical Instructions.
Since publication of the 1990 rule,
PHMSA has issued 11 additional
international harmonization
rulemakings under the following
dockets: HM–215A [59 FR 67390; Dec.
29, 1994]; HM–215B [62 FR 24690; May
6, 1997]; HM–215C [64 FR 10742; Mar.
5, 1999]; HM–215D [66 FR 33316; June
21, 2001]; HM–215E [68 FR 44992; July
31, 2003]; HM–215G [69 FR 76044; Dec.
20, 2004]; HM–215I [71 FR 78595; Dec.
29, 2006]; HM–215J [74 FR 2200; Jan.
14, 2009]; HM–215K [76 FR 3308; Jan.
19, 2011]; HM–215L [78 FR 987; Jan. 7,
2013]; and HM–215M [80 FR 1075; Jan.
8, 2015]. These rulemakings were based
on biennial updates of the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the
ICAO Technical Instructions.
Harmonization becomes increasingly
important as the volume of hazardous
materials transported in international
commerce grows. It not only facilitates
international trade by minimizing the
costs and other burdens of complying
with multiple or inconsistent safety
requirements for transportation of
hazardous materials, but it also
enhances safety when the international
standards provide an appropriate level
of protection. PHMSA actively
participates in the development of
international standards for the
transportation of hazardous materials
and promotes the adoption of standards
consistent with the HMR. When
considering the harmonization of the
HMR with international standards,
PHMSA reviews and evaluates each
amendment on its own merit, on its
overall impact on transportation safety,
and on the economic implications
associated with its adoption. Our goal is
to harmonize with international
standards without diminishing the level
of safety currently provided by the HMR
or imposing undue burdens on the
regulated community.
Based on recent review and
evaluation, PHMSA proposes to revise
the HMR to incorporate changes from
the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations, Amendment 38–16
to the IMDG Code, and the 2017–2018
Edition of the ICAO Technical
Instructions, which become effective
January 1, 2017.2
In addition, PHMSA proposes to
incorporate by reference the newest
editions of various international
2 Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code may be
voluntarily applied on January 1, 2017; however,
the previous amendment remains effective through
December 31, 2017.

Jkt 238001
standards. These standards incorporated
by reference are authorized for use,
under specific circumstances, in part
171 subpart C of the HMR. This
proposed rule is necessary to
incorporate revisions to the
international standards and, if adopted
in the HMR, will be effective January 1,
2017.
Possible Interim Final Rule
The changes to the international
standards will take effect on January 1,
2017. Therefore, it is essential that a
final rule incorporating these standards
by reference be published no later than
December 31, 2016 with an effective
date of January 1, 2017. Otherwise, U.S.
companies—including numerous small
entities competing in foreign markets—
will be at an economic disadvantage
because of their need to comply with a
dual system of regulations (specifically,
the HMR, UN Model Regulations, and
ICAO Technical Instructions). To this
end, if it appears a final rule under this
docket will not be published prior to
January 1, 2017, PHMSA will publish a
bridging document in the form of an
interim final rule to amend the HMR by
incorporating the 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Recommendations and the
2017–2018 Edition of the ICAO
Technical Instructions.
With regard to Amendment 38–16 of
the IMDG Code, the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) approved
an implementation date of January 1,
2018. The current edition of the IMDG
Code (Amendment 37–14) remains in
effect through 2017; therefore, we will
not include the newest version of the
IMDG Code in any bridging document.
The proposed incorporation by
reference of the newest edition of the
IMDG Code and all other changes
proposed in this NPRM would be
addressed in a subsequent final rule also
under this docket [PHMSA–2015–0273
(HM–215N)]. Accordingly, any interim
final rule will only incorporate by
reference editions of the international
standards that become effective on
January 1, 2017.
III. Incorporation by Reference
Discussion Under 1 CFR Part 51
The UN Recommendations on the
Transport of Dangerous Goods—Model
Regulations, Manual of Tests and
Criteria, and Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labelling
of Chemicals, as well as all of the
Transport Canada Clear Language
Amendments, are free and easily
accessible to the public on the internet,
with access provided through the parent
organization Web sites. The ICAO
Technical Instructions, IMDG Code, and
PO 00000
Frm 00004

all ISO references are available for
interested parties to purchase in either
print or electronic versions through the
parent organization Web sites. The price
charged for those not freely available
helps to cover the cost of developing,
maintaining, hosting, and accessing
these standards. The specific standards
are discussed at length in the ‘‘Sectionby-Section Review’’ for § 171.7.
IV. Harmonization Proposals in This
NPRM
In addition to various other revisions
to the HMR, PHMSA proposes the
following amendments to harmonize the
HMR with the most recent revisions to
the UN Model Regulations, ICAO
Technical Instructions, and IMDG Code,
as well as several amendments resulting
from coordination with Canada under
the U.S.-Canada RCC:
• Incorporation by Reference:
PHMSA proposes to incorporate by
reference the latest editions of various
international transport standards
including the 2017–2018 Edition of the
ICAO Technical Instructions;
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code;
the 6th Revised Edition of the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria; the 6th
Revised Edition of the United Nations
Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals; and the 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations.
Additionally, we are proposing to
update our incorporation by reference of
the Canadian TDG Regulations to
include SOR/2014–152 and SOR/2014–
159 published July 2, 2014; SOR/2014–
159 Erratum published July 16, 2014;
SOR/2014–152 Erratum published
August 27, 2014; SOR/2014–306
published December 31, 2014; SOR/
2014–306 Erratum published January
28, 2015; and SOR/2015–100 published
May 20, 2015. This incorporation by
reference augments the broad
reciprocity provided in § 171.12 where
the HMR allow the use of the TDG
Regulations under certain conditions
when transporting hazardous materials
to or from Canada by highway or rail.
Finally, PHMSA proposes the
incorporation by reference of new and
updated ISO standards.
• Hazardous Materials Table (HMT):
PHMSA proposes amendments to the
HMT to add, revise, or remove certain
proper shipping names, hazard classes,
packing groups, special provisions,
packaging authorizations, bulk
packaging requirements, vessel stowage
and segregation requirements, and
passenger and cargo aircraft maximum
quantity limits.
• Packaging Requirements for WaterReactive Materials Transported by

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
Vessel: PHMSA proposes various
amendments to packaging requirements
for vessel transportation of waterreactive substances. The amendments
include changes to the packaging
requirements to require certain
commodities to have hermetically
sealed packaging and to require other
commodities—when packed in flexible,
fiberboard, or wooden packagings—to
have sift-proof and water-resistant
packaging or packaging fitted with a siftproof and water-resistant liner. These
proposed changes are consistent with
IMDG Code requirements.
• Hazard Communication
Requirements for Lithium Batteries:
PHMSA proposes to revise hazard
communication requirements for
lithium batteries consistent with
changes adopted in the 19th Revised
Edition of the UN Model Regulations.
Specifically, PHMSA proposes to adopt
a new lithium battery label in place of
the existing Class 9 label; to amend the
existing marking requirements for small
lithium battery shipments in
§ 173.185(c) to incorporate a new
standard lithium battery mark for use
across all modes; to remove the
documentation requirement in
§ 173.185(c) for shipments of small
lithium cells and batteries; and to
amend the exception for small lithium
cells and batteries requiring the lithium
battery mark from the current
applicability of ‘‘no more than four
lithium cells or two lithium batteries
installed in the equipment’’ to ‘‘no more
than four lithium cells or two lithium
batteries contained in equipment, where
there are not more than two packages in
the consignment.’’
• Engine, Internal Combustion/
Machinery, Internal Combustion:
PHMSA proposes to harmonize the
HMT entries for the transportation of
engines and machinery containing
engines with those in the UN Model
Regulations. Additionally, PHMSA
proposes harmonization with the IMDG
Code for domestic vessel shipments of
engines, internal combustion, and
machinery containing combustion
engines. Under the proposals in this
NPRM, the existing ‘‘Engine, internal
combustion’’ entries would be assigned
their own UN numbers and hazard class
based on the type of fuel (e.g., a
flammable liquid powered engine is
assigned a proper shipping name with a
Class 3 designation). Existing
requirements and exceptions for the
transportation of engines and machinery
containing engines transported by road,
rail, and aircraft would remain
unchanged. PHMSA is, however,
proposing to harmonize the
transportation requirements for
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
transportation by vessel, which includes
varying degrees of hazard
communication based on the type of
fuel, amount of fuel, and capacity of the
fuel tank.
• U.S.-Canada Regulatory
Cooperation Council (RCC) Proposals:
The Prime Minister of Canada and the
President of the United States created
the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation
Council in 2011. Through this effort, the
United States and Canada strive to
strengthen regulatory cooperation and
reciprocity to enhance economic
competitiveness while maintaining high
standards of health, safety, and
environmental protection. DOT,
together with Transport Canada, have
collaborated to develop a regulatory
partnership statement and work plan,
both of which can be viewed at https://
trade.gov/rcc. Stakeholder input (which
can be viewed at www.regulations.gov
under Docket No. PHMSA 2012–0058),
as well as internal and mutual
regulatory review, help determine work
plan initiatives and areas where
enhanced regulatory cooperation and
reciprocity might be feasible and
beneficial provided there is no
compromise in safety. Three primary
initiatives identified in the work plan
are the recognition of inspection and
repair of cargo tanks under the U.S.
requirements for highway transport, the
mutual recognition of standard pressure
receptacles (cylinders), and mutual
recognition of DOT special permits and
Transport Canada equivalency
certificates.
—PHMSA proposes to address the cargo
tank initiative by authorizing facilities
in Canada that hold a Certificate of
Authorization for repair from a
provincial pressure vessel jurisdiction
to repair DOT specification cargo
tanks that are used to transport
hazardous materials in the United
States. PHMSA further proposes to
except those facilities from registering
in accordance with part 107 subpart F
of the HMR provided they are
registered in accordance with the
Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
This proposed authority and
exception would provide carriers with
additional access to repair facilities in
Canada without jeopardizing the DOT
specification of a cargo tank and
broaden reciprocity with Canada,
which already recognizes repairs of
TC specification cargo tanks
performed by authorized and
registered facilities in the United
States.
—PHMSA proposes to address the
cylinder initiative by authorizing the
filling, requalification, and use of
PO 00000
Frm 00005
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
61745
cylinders manufactured in accordance
with the TDG Regulations that have a
corresponding DOT specification in
the HMR. Mutual recognition of
cylinder specifications and
requalification inspections will mean
cylinder users that frequently conduct
business that crosses the border will
not need to maintain two sets of
substantially similar cylinders.
—PHMSA proposes to address the
equivalency certificate initiative by
amending the HMR to allow
shipments offered in accordance with
an equivalency certificate to transit to
their first destination without having
to apply for a duplicative special
permit from PHMSA.
V. Amendments Not Being Considered
for Adoption in This NPRM
PHMSA’s goal in this rulemaking is to
maintain consistency between the HMR
and the international requirements. We
are not striving to make the HMR
identical to the international regulations
but rather to remove or avoid potential
barriers to international transportation.
PHMSA proposes changes to the HMR
based on amendments adopted in the
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, the 2017–2018 Edition of
the ICAO Technical Instructions, and
Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code.
We are not, however, proposing to adopt
all of the amendments made to the
various international standards into the
HMR.
In many cases, amendments to the
international recommendations and
regulations are not adopted into the
HMR because the framework or
structure makes adoption unnecessary.
In other cases, we have addressed, or
will address, the amendments in
separate rulemaking proceedings. If we
have inadvertently omitted an
amendment in this NPRM, we will
attempt to include the omission in the
final rule; however, our ability to make
changes in a final rule is limited by
requirements of the Administrative
Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). In some
instances, we can adopt a provision
inadvertently omitted in the NPRM if it
is clearly within the scope of changes
proposed in the notice. Otherwise, in
order to provide opportunity for notice
and comment, the change must first be
proposed in an NPRM.
The following is a list of notable
amendments to the international
regulations that PHMSA is not
considering for adoption in this NPRM:
• Large Salvage Cylinders: The 17th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations includes guidelines for
Competent Authorities to use when
issuing approvals for salvage pressure
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2

receptacles. These revisions are found
in Chapter 1.2, 4.1, 5.4, and 6.2 of the
UN Model Regulations. Specifically,
these requirements address the
packaging, hazard communication, and
safe transport of salvage pressure
receptacles, also known as salvage
cylinders in the United States. The 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations includes changes to the
definition and packaging allowances for
salvage cylinders. These changes
authorize the use of a large salvage
cylinder with a water capacity not
exceeding 3,000 L to transport a
cylinder with a water capacity up to
1,000 L. Salvage cylinders still require
approval by appropriate Competent
Authorities.
The HMR currently address the
packaging, hazard communication, and
safe transport of salvage cylinders in
§ 173.3(d) and do not require approval
of the Associate Administrator to do so.
PHMSA considers the current salvage
cylinder requirements in the HMR to
provide a sufficient level of safety and
adequately address the shipment of
damaged and defective cylinders. It is
appropriate that larger salvage cylinders
go through the existing approval
process. Therefore, PHMSA is not
proposing changes to the current HMR
requirements for salvage cylinders.
• Large Packagings for Waste
Aerosols: The 19th Revised Edition of
the UN Model Regulations includes
changes to the large packaging
requirements for waste aerosols. The
most notable change was to the packing
group (PG) performance level required
for large packagings transporting waste
aerosols—from PG III to PG II. The HMR
do not currently authorize the use of
large packagings for aerosols. Therefore,
PHMSA is not proposing changes to the
current HMR requirements for large
packagings for waste aerosols.
• Table Tennis Balls: The 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations includes a special provision
assigned to ‘‘UN 2000, Celluloid’’ that
excepts table tennis balls made of
celluloid from the requirements of the
Model Regulations if the total net mass
of each table tennis ball does not exceed
3 grams and the net mass of table tennis
balls does not exceed 500 grams per
package. In a previously issued letter of
interpretation (Ref. No. 14–0141),
PHMSA stated that ‘‘it is the opinion of
this office that the entry for UN 2000
Celluloid only applies when the
material is in a pre-manufactured state
i.e. blocks, rod, rolls, sheets, tubes etc.’’
We further stated: ‘‘Based on the
information provided in your letter,
including form and quantity of celluloid
contained in the table tennis balls, it is
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
our determination the table tennis balls
are not in a quantity and form that pose
an unreasonable risk to health, safety or
property during transportation and,
therefore, are not subject to regulation
under the HMR.’’
PHMSA maintains our position as
stated in the letter of interpretation (Ref.
No. 14–0141) that table tennis balls are
not subject to the requirements of the
HMR and that the ‘‘UN 2000, Celluloid’’
entry only applies when the material is
in a pre-manufactured state (i.e. blocks
rod, rolls, sheets, tubes, etc). Therefore,
PHMSA is not proposing changes to the
current HMR requirements to provide
an exception for UN 2000.
• IMO Portable Tank Marking:
Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code
includes an amendment to require IMO
portable tanks manufactured before
January 1, 2003, to be marked with an
indication of the portable tank
instruction for which it meets the
minimum test pressure, minimum shell
thickness, pressure relief requirements,
and bottom opening requirements (i.e.,
the appropriate portable tank
instruction). This change was made to
clarify that the existing requirement for
marking portable tanks with the
portable tank instruction either on the
tank itself or the tank data plate also
applied to older IMO type portable
tanks manufactured before January 1,
2003. PHMSA did not adopt the
requirement for portable tanks to be
marked with an indication of the
portable tank instruction to which they
comply when this requirement was first
introduced. Therefore, PHMSA is not
proposing changes to the current HMR
requirements for IMO type portable tank
markings. PHMSA notes, however, that
portable tanks utilized in international
transportation will need to be marked
with an indication of an appropriate
portable tank instruction.
• Classification Inconsistencies: The
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations includes text to address
situations in which a consignor who is
aware, on the basis of test data, that a
substance listed by name in column 2 of
the Dangerous Goods List in Chapter 3.2
of the UN Model Regulations meets
classification criteria for a hazard class
or division that is not identified in the
list, may with the approval of the
competent authority consign the
substance:
—Under the same UN number and name
but with additional hazard
communication information as
appropriate to reflect the additional
subsidiary risk(s) (e.g.,
documentation, label, placard)
provided that the primary hazard
class remains unchanged and that any
PO 00000
Frm 00006
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
other transport conditions (e.g.,
limited quantity, packing and tank
provisions) that would normally
apply to substances possessing such a
combination of hazards are the same
as those applicable to the substance
listed; or
—Under the most appropriate generic or
n.o.s. entry reflecting all hazards.
The HMR, in §§ 172.402(a)(2) and
172.202(a)(3), allow and in most cases
require hazardous materials exhibiting
an additional subsidiary hazard to be
labeled with the subsidiary hazard and
to have the additional hazard described
on shipping papers.
As detailed in the definition of
Competent Authority Approval in
§ 107.1, specific regulations in
subchapter A or C of the HMR are
considered Competent Authority
Approvals. PHMSA generally does not
issue Competent Authority Approvals
for situations already addressed by the
HMR. Therefore, PHMSA is not
proposing such changes to the current
HMR requirements. Although PHMSA is
not incorporating language specifically
requiring a Competent Authority
Approval in situations where a
consignor has determined a substance
has a different subsidiary risk than those
identified in the HMT, we maintain the
power to do so in order to facilitate
commerce in situations where other
competent authorities or carriers require
such a document be provided.
• Filling Procedures for UN Pressure
Receptacles: The 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations includes
text in P200 requiring the filling of
pressure receptacles to be carried out by
qualified staff using appropriate
equipment and procedures. These
procedures are described as including
checks of the following: conformity of
receptacles and accessories with the UN
Model Regulations, compatibility of the
cylinder with the product to be
transported, absence of damage that
might affect safety, compliance with the
degree or pressure of filling, and
accuracy of marks and identification.
Additionally, five ISO standards
concerning inspection and filling of
various cylinders were incorporated
into P200. Compliance with these filling
procedures is considered met if the
appropriate ISO standard is applied.
The existing HMR requirements for
filling procedures for pressure
receptacles provide a sufficient level of
safety and adequately address filling
requirements for pressure vessels.
Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing
changes to the current HMR
requirements for the filling of pressure
receptacles nor the adoption of any of
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
the five ISO standards applicable to
filling conditions and inspections.
• Intentionally Infected Animals: The
2017–2018 ICAO Technical Instructions
adopted changes to the classification
framework for infected live animals and
animal materials. These changes are
intended to support consistent
classification for infected animals and
animal materials. The issue was brought
to the attention of the UN SubCommittee at its 48th session, but they
were not able to ascertain the impact of
the changes made to the ICAO
Technical Instructions or if further
changes were necessary to the UN
Model Regulations. The representative
from ICAO who presented the paper
noted they would come back with an
additional paper and clarifications at
the next session. As work at the UN
Sub-Committee is still ongoing, PHMSA
is not proposing changes to the current
HMR requirements for the classification
or transportation of infected live
animals or animal materials at this time.
• Special Aircraft Operations: The
2017–2018 ICAO Technical Instructions
adopted changes to the general
exceptions for hazardous materials
carried by an aircraft in special aircraft
operations (e.g., air ambulance, search
and rescue). These changes are to clarify
that hazardous materials involved in
these special aircraft operations for
related purposes (e.g., training flights
and positioning flights prior to or after
maintenance) are excepted from the
ICAO Technical Instructions as stated in
Part 1, Chapter 1. On June 2, 2016,
PHMSA published a final rule [Docket
No. PHMSA–2013–0225 (HM–218H); 81
FR 35483] that revised § 175.1(d)
(formerly § 175.9(b)(4)) to clarify that
staging operations and other operations
related to dedicated air ambulance,
firefighting, or search and rescue
operations are intended to be excepted
from the HMR when in compliance with
the [Federal Aviation Regulations]
(FAR).’’ Accordingly, PHMSA and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
believe that the current special aircraft
operation’s provisions in § 175.1(d)
sufficiently provide the flexibility to
allow for these types of flight activities
(e.g., training flights and positioning
flights prior to or after maintenance).
Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing
changes to the current HMR
requirements for special aircraft
operations.
• Enhanced Safety Provisions for
Lithium Batteries Transported by
Aircraft: The 2015–2016 Edition of the
ICAO Technical Instructions adopted
enhanced safety provisions for lithium
batteries transported by aircraft,
effective April 1, 2016. These
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
amendments (1) prohibit the transport
of lithium ion cells and batteries as
cargo on passenger aircraft; (2) require
all lithium ion cells and batteries to be
shipped at not more than a 30 percent
state of charge on cargo-only aircraft;
and (3) limit the use of alternative
provisions for small lithium cell or
battery shipments under 49 CFR
173.185(c). PHMSA is considering
adopting these amendments in a
separate rulemaking. Further
information is available in the docket
for this rulemaking [PHMSA–2016–
0014].
• Sterilization Devices Containing
Nitrogen Tetroxide or Nitric Oxide: The
2017–2018 ICAO Technical Instructions
adopted special provision A211 to allow
for the transport of sterilization devices
that contain small quantities of ‘‘UN
1067, Nitrogen dioxide’’ and ‘‘UN 1660,
Nitric oxide, compressed’’ by both
passenger and cargo aircraft. We are not
proposing incorporation of ICAO special
provision A211 at this time.
While we did not oppose the adoption
of this provision at ICAO, we did so
recognizing that the transport
environment and infrastructure is much
different in parts of the world outside of
the United States; and that consistent
with our harmonization rulemaking
considerations we would assess how
best to address this topic within the
HMR. During the time these
amendments were being considered by
ICAO, we received a special permit
application that detailed more specific
information than was available during
the ICAO deliberations. Additionally,
PHMSA received a petition for
rulemaking (P–1672) requesting PHMSA
harmonize with the recently adopted
ICAO TI provisions for sterilization
devices. Based on the lack of broad
applicability, the technically specific
nature of these devices and packaging
systems, the significant toxicity hazard
and corresponding risk to air transport,
and the benefit of considering
additional operational controls available
to mitigate risk, it is our determination
that transport in accordance with the
provisions of ICAO special provision
A211 are more suitably addressed
through PHMSA’s Special Permit
program.
• Cylinders Containing Gases for Use
in Fire Extinguishers or Stationary FireFighting Installations: In some cases
cylinders that are not a permanent
component of a fire extinguisher or a
stationary fire-fighting installation are
transported separately from these fire
extinguishers (e.g., prior to their use in
the fire extinguisher or stationary firefighting installation and for filling). At
the 44th session of the UN Sub-
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
61747
Committee, it was agreed that when the
cylinder containing the compressed gas
is transported separately, it should be
subject to the same requirements as
conventional cylinders.
On July 26, 2016, PHMSA published
a NPRM [Docket No. PHMSA–2011–
0140 (HM–234); 81 FR 48977] proposing
to revise the § 173.309 introductory text
to include cylinders used as part of a
fire suppression system as a cylinder
type authorized for transport in
accordance with the HMT entry for fire
extinguishers. The HM–234 NPRM
notes the controls detailed in § 173.309
provide an acceptable level of safety
regardless of whether the cylinder is
equipped for use as a handheld fire
extinguisher or as a component of a
fixed fire suppression system.
As this issue is already being
considered in an open rulemaking, we
are not proposing to make any changes
to the transport provisions for fire
extinguishers or cylinders used in fire
extinguishers. All comments, including
potential impacts arising from differing
domestic and international
requirements, concerning transport
requirements for cylinders used in fire
extinguishers should be submitted to
the HM–234 docket (Docket No.
PHMSA–2011–0140) at https://
www.regulations.gov.
VI. Section-By-Section Review
The following is a section-by-section
review of the amendments proposed in
this NPRM:
Part 107
Section 107.502
Section 107.502 provides general
requirements for the registration of
cargo tank and cargo tank motor vehicle
manufacturers, assemblers, repairers,
inspectors, testers, and design certifying
engineers. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to revise paragraph (b) to
provide an exception from the
registration requirements for certain
persons engaged in the repair, as
defined in § 180.403, of DOT
specification cargo tanks by facilities in
Canada in accordance with the
proposed § 180.413(a)(1)(iii) in this
NPRM. Persons engaged in the repair of
cargo tanks in Canada are required to
register in accordance with the
Transport Canada TDG Regulations as
the Canadian registration requirements
are substantially equivalent to those in
part 107 subpart F of the HMR. The
registration information is available on
Transport Canada’s Web site at https://
wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/3/fdr-rici/
highway/tanks.aspx. The Transport
Canada TDG Regulations except persons

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
repairing TC specification cargo tanks at
facilities in the United States from
registering in Canada if they are
registered in accordance with part 107
subpart F.
Therefore, PHMSA believes that
requiring the registration of Canadian
cargo tank repair facilities authorized by
the proposed § 180.413(a)(1)(iii) would
be unnecessarily duplicative and that
excepting them from registering in
accordance with part 107 subpart F
would augment reciprocity without
negatively impacting safety. See
‘‘Harmonization Proposals in this
NPRM’’ and the § 180.413 entry in the
‘‘Section-by-Section Review’’ of this
document for additional background
and discussion of this proposal.

Section 107.801
Section 107.801 prescribes approval
procedures for persons seeking to
engage in a variety of activities
regulated by PHMSA (i.e., independent
inspection agencies, cylinder
requalification). In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to amend paragraph (a)(2) to
include provisions for persons seeking
approval to engage in the
requalification, rebuilding, or repair of a
cylinder manufactured in accordance
with a Transport Canada (TC), Canadian
Transportation Commission (CTC),
Board of Transport Commissioners for
Canada (BTC) or Canadian Railway
Commission (CRC) specification under
the Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
Persons engaged in the requalification,
rebuilding, or repair of TC, CTC, CRC,
or BTC specification cylinders in the
U.S. are required to register with DOT
in accordance with this subpart.
PHMSA will issue a new approval or
revise an existing one to reflect the
applicant’s intent to requalify TC
cylinders. Upon approval, the
Requalifier Identification Number (RIN)
holder must mark the TC cylinder in
accordance with applicable Transport
Canada TDG Regulations except that the
requalifier’s registered mark shall be
replaced with the DOT RIN. See the
discussion of proposed changes to
§ 107.805 for additional requirements
and exceptions.
Section 107.805
Section 107.805 prescribes the
requirements cylinder and pressure
receptacle requalifiers need to meet in
order to be approved by PHMSA. In this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (a) to authorize prospective
requalifiers to obtain approval by
PHMSA to inspect, test, certify, repair,
or rebuild TC specification cylinders; to
amend paragraph (c)(2) to ensure the
types of TC cylinders intended to be
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
inspected, tested, repaired, or rebuilt at
the facility are included in the
application for approval to PHMSA; and
to amend paragraph (d) to include
various TC cylinders to the list of
cylinders requiring issuance of a RIN to
requalifiers.
PHMSA also proposes to amend
paragraph (f) to recognize facilities
authorized by Transport Canada to
requalify comparable DOT specification
cylinders, as well as DOT RIN holders
to requalify comparable Transport
Canada cylinders subject to
modification of their existing approval.
PHMSA recognizes that Transport
Canada’s approval and registration
requirements are substantially
equivalent to the requirements in 49
CFR part 107 subpart I and provide an
equivalent level of safety. In addition,
traceability is maintained based on
Transport Canada’s publicly available
Web site at https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/safsec-sur/3/fdr-rici/cylinder/
requalifier.aspx, which allows tracing of
a DOT specification cylinder marked
with a Transport Canada assigned
requalifier’s registered mark back to the
appropriate requalification facility.3
The proposed addition of paragraph
(f)(2) would allow persons who are
already registered with PHMSA to
perform requalification functions on
DOT specification cylinders to register
to requalify corresponding TC cylinder
specifications without additional review
by an independent inspection agency.
Specifications considered equivalent are
identified in the preamble to this notice
(see Table 1 in § 171.12 discussion).
Applicants would be required to submit
all of the information prescribed in
§ 107.705(a) that identifies the TC, CTC,
CRC, or BTC specification cylinder(s) or
tube(s) to be inspected; certifies the
requalifier will operate in compliance
with the applicable TDG regulations;
and certifies the persons performing
requalification have been trained in the
functions applicable to the requalifier
activities.
The proposed addition of paragraph
(f)(3) would allow persons who are
already registered with Transport
Canada to requalify corresponding DOT
specification cylinders without
additional application to PHMSA for
approval. This proposed exception
would provide cylinder owners with
additional access to repair and
requalification facilities in Canada,
3 The search function on Transport Canada’s Web
site allows users to search for the registered mark
of requalifiers. Searching by the registered mark
found on a cylinder will allow interested parties to
verify that the cylinder was requalified by a facility
certified by Transport Canada.

while also broadening reciprocity with
Canada.
Part 171
Section 171.2
Section 171.2 prescribes general
requirements for each person
performing functions covered by this
subchapter. PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (h)(1) by adding the letters
‘‘TC,’’ ‘‘CRC,’’ and ‘‘BTC’’ to the list of
specification indications that may not
be misrepresented according to
§ 171.2(g). This is necessary as a result
of proposed amendments in § 171.12
authorizing the use of various Transport
Canada approved specification
cylinders under certain conditions.
Section 171.7
Section 171.7 provides a listing of all
voluntary consensus standards
incorporated by reference into the HMR,
as directed by the ‘‘National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act of
1996.’’ According to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB),
Circular A–119, ‘‘Federal Participation
in the Development and Use of
Voluntary Consensus Standards and in
Conformity Assessment Activities,’’
government agencies must use
voluntary consensus standards
wherever practical in the development
of regulations. Agency adoption of
industry standards promotes
productivity and efficiency in
government and industry, expands
opportunities for international trade,
conserves resources, improves health
and safety, and protects the
environment.
PHMSA actively participates in the
development and updating of consensus
standards through representation on
more than 20 consensus standard bodies
and regularly reviews updated
consensus standards and considers their
merit for inclusion in the HMR. For this
rulemaking, we evaluated updated
international consensus standards
pertaining to proper shipping names,
hazard classes, packing groups, special
provisions, packaging authorizations, air
transport quantity limitations, and
vessel stowage requirements and
determined that the revised standards
provide an enhanced level of safety
without imposing significant
compliance burdens. These standards
have well-established and documented
safety histories, and their adoption will
maintain the high safety standard
currently achieved under the HMR.
Therefore, in this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to add and revise the following
incorporation by reference materials:

• Paragraph (t)(1), which incorporates
the International Civil Aviation
Organization Technical Instructions for
the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods
by Air, 2015–2016 Edition, would be
revised to incorporate the 2017–2018
Edition. The International Civil
Aviation Organization Technical
Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air contain
detailed instructions necessary for the
safe international transport of dangerous
goods by air. The ICAO TI supports the
broad principles by establishing
requirements necessary to ensure
hazardous materials are safely
transported in aircraft while providing a
level of safety that protects the aircraft
and its occupants from undue risk.
• Paragraph (v)(2), which
incorporates the International Maritime
Organization International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code, 2014 Edition,
Incorporating Amendment 37–14,
English Edition, Volumes 1 and 2,
would be revised to incorporate the
2016 Edition, Amendment 38–16. The
International Maritime Organization
International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code is intended to provide for
the safe transportation of hazardous
materials by vessel, protect crew
members and to prevent marine
pollution. The Code is based on the UN
Model Regulations, but also includes
additional requirements applicable to
the transport of hazardous materials by
sea (e.g., requirements for marine
pollutants; freight container loading
procedures; stowage and segregation;
and other requirements applicable to
shipboard safety and preservation of the
marine environment) that are not
covered by the UN Model Regulations.
• Paragraph (w), which incorporates
various International Organization for
Standardization entries, would be
revised to incorporate by reference
standards for the specification, design,
construction, testing, and use of gas
cylinders:
—ISO 3807:2013 Gas cylinders—
Acetylene cylinders—Basic
requirements and type testing is
proposed for incorporation in
paragraph (w)(16). ISO 3807:2013
specifies the basic and type testing
requirements for acetylene cylinders
with and without fusible plugs with a
maximum nominal water capacity of
150 L (39.62 gallons) and
requirements regarding production/

Transport Canada Transportation of
Dangerous Goods Regulations proposed
for incorporation in this NPRM are
updates to the existing Transportation of
Dangerous Goods Regulations and cover
all updates made by Transport Canada
between January 2014–May 2015.
• Paragraph (dd)(1), which
incorporates the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods—Model Regulations,
18th Revised Edition (2013), Volumes I
and II, would be revised to incorporate
the 19th Revised Edition (2015),
Volumes I and II. The United Nations
Model Regulations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods provide a basis for
development of harmonized regulations
for all modes of transport, in order to
facilitate trade and the safe, efficient
transport of hazardous materials.
• Paragraph (dd)(2), which
incorporates the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods—Manual of Tests and
Criteria, 5th Revised Edition (2009),
would be revised to incorporate the 6th
Revised Edition (2015). The Manual of
Tests and Criteria contains criteria, test
methods and procedures to be used for
classification of dangerous goods
according to the provisions of Parts 2
and 3 of the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as
well as of chemicals presenting physical
hazards according to the Globally
Harmonized System of Classification
and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
• Paragraph (dd)(3) would be added
to incorporate the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods, Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labelling
of Chemicals (GHS), 6th Revised Edition
(2015). Section 172.401 references the
incorporation by reference of the GHS in
§ 171.7; however, this entry does not
currently appear in § 171.7. The
proposed addition of this paragraph
would correct this oversight. The
Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of
Chemicals (GHS), addresses
classification of chemicals by types of
hazard and proposes harmonized hazard
communication elements, including
labels and safety data sheets. It aims at
ensuring that information on physical
hazards and toxicity from chemicals be
available in order to enhance the
protection of human health and the
environment during the handling,

transport and use of these chemicals.
The GHS also provides a basis for
harmonization of rules and regulations
on chemicals at national, regional and
worldwide level, an important factor
also for trade facilitation.
Section 171.8
Section 171.8 defines terms generally
used throughout the HMR that have
broad or multi-modal applicability. In
this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to add the
following terms and definitions:
• Design life: PHMSA proposes to add
the term ‘‘design life’’ to define the
maximum life of composite cylinders
and tubes. This term is specifically
limited to references in the HMR related
to composite cylinders and tubes.
• SAPT: PHMSA proposes to add the
term ‘‘SAPT’’ and a reference to
§ 173.21(f). SAPT means self-accelerated
polymerization temperature. See
§ 173.21(f) of this subchapter. This is
consistent with the similar term SADT
(self-accelerated decomposition
temperature).
• Service life: PHMSA proposes to
add the term ‘‘service life’’ to define the
number of years a composite cylinder or
tube is permitted to be in service. This
term is specifically limited to references
in the HMR related to composite
cylinders and tubes.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to
amend the definitions for the following
terms:
• Aerosol: PHMSA proposes to revise
the definition of ‘‘aerosol’’ to clarify that
it is an article. Currently under the
HMR, an aerosol is considered to be an
article and therefore the use of inner
packagings in a combination package in
not necessary. However, practice has
shown that an aerosol is often mistaken
for the inner packaging of a combination
packaging, including both the substance
dispensed (liquid, paste, or powder) and
the propellant gas itself.
• Large salvage packaging: PHMSA
proposes to revise the definition of
‘‘large salvage packaging’’ to add a
reference to non-conforming hazardous
materials packages to be consistent with
the wording in the definition of ‘‘salvage
packaging.’’
• UN tube: PHMSA proposes to revise
the definition of ‘‘UN tube,’’ which
describes it as a seamless pressure
receptacle, to specify that the term
includes composite cylinders.
Section 171.12
Section 171.12 prescribes
requirements for the use of the
Transport Canada TDG Regulations.
Under the U.S.-Canada RCC, which was
established in 2011 by the President of
the United States and the Canadian
PO 00000
Frm 00010
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
Prime Minister, PHMSA and Transport
Canada, with input from stakeholders,
identified impediments to cross-border
transportation of hazardous materials. In
this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to address
these barriers by amending the HMR to
expand recognition of cylinders, cargo
tank repair facilities, and equivalency
certificates in accordance with the TDG
Regulations.
The HMR in § 171.12(a)(1) provide
general authorizations to use the TDG
Regulations for hazardous materials
transported from Canada to the United
States, from the United States to
Canada, or through the United States to
Canada or a foreign destination. PHMSA
proposes to amend § 171.12(a)(1) to
authorize the use of a Transport Canada
equivalency certificate for such road or
rail transportation of a hazardous
material shipment. Consistent with
existing authorizations to utilize the
TDG Regulations for transportation from
Canada to the United States, the
proposed authorization to use a
Transport Canada equivalency
certificate only applies until the
shipment’s initial transportation ends.
In other words, once a shipment offered
in accordance with a Transport Canada
equivalency certificate reaches the
destination shown on either a transport
document or package markings,
transportation under the authorization
in § 171.12 has ended. Any subsequent
offering of packages imported under a
Transport Canada equivalency
certificate would have to be done in full
compliance with the HMR. Transport
Canada is proposing amendments to the
TDG Regulations to authorize similar
reciprocal treatment of PHMSA special
permits.
The HMR in § 171.12(a)(4) authorize
the transportation of a cylinder
authorized by the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations to, from, or within the
United States. Currently this
authorization is limited to Canadian
Transport Commission (CTC) cylinders
corresponding to a DOT specification
cylinder and UN pressure receptacles
marked with ‘‘CAN.’’ In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph
(a)(4)(ii) authorizing the use of Canadian
manufactured cylinders. Specifically,
PHMSA proposes to authorize the
transportation of CTC, CRC, BTC, and
TC cylinders that have a corresponding
DOT specification cylinder prescribed
in the HMR.
This proposal does not remove or
amend existing requirements for DOT
specification cylinders; rather, PHMSA
proposes to provide that a shipper may
use either a DOT specification cylinder
or a TC cylinder as appropriate. The
goal of these amendments is to promote
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
flexibility; to permit the use of advanced
technology for the requalification and
use of pressure receptacles; to provide
for a broader selection of authorized
pressure receptacles; to reduce the need
for special permits; and to facilitate
cross-border transportation of these
cylinders.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraph (a)(4) to authorize the
filling, maintenance, testing, and use of
CTC, CRC, BTC, and TC cylinders that
have a corresponding DOT specification
cylinder as prescribed in HMR. This
authorization will extend the
recognition of cylinders manufactured
61751
in Canada to be filled, used, and
requalified (including rebuild, repair,
reheat-treatment) in the United States in
accordance with the TDG Regulations.

A U.S.-based facility is permitted to
refill and use a cylinder marked as
meeting CTC specification provided it
complies with the applicable
requirements specified in § 171.12. In
accordance with § 171.12(a)(4), when
the provisions of subchapter C of the
HMR require that a DOT specification or
a UN pressure receptacle must be used
for a hazardous material, a packaging
authorized by Transport Canada’s TDG
Regulations may be used only if it
corresponds to the DOT specification or
UN standard authorized by this
subchapter.
If implemented, the proposed actions
described above would resolve many of
the existing reciprocity issues,
streamline the processing of Canadian
cylinders within the United States, and
alleviate unnecessary burdens on the
transportation industry. DOT RIN
holders may requalify and mark a TC
cylinder in accordance with applicable
TDG Regulations, including the
application of metric markings.

the United States.
Part 172
Section 172.101
Section 172.101 provides the
Hazardous Materials Table (HMT), as
well as instructions for its use. Readers
should review all changes for a
complete understanding of the
amendments. For purposes of the
Government Printing Office’s
typesetting procedures, proposed
changes to the HMT appear under three
sections of the Table: ‘‘remove,’’ ‘‘add,’’
and ‘‘revise.’’ Certain entries in the
HMT, such as those with revisions to
the proper shipping names, appear as a
‘‘remove’’ and ‘‘add.’’ In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to amend the HMT for
the following:

to 1.3C (i.e., UN 0186) or the 1.4C n.o.s.
classification (i.e., UN 0351). This 1.4
rocket motor entry accurately reflects
the product type and hazard of these
articles and allows for the assignment of
specific packaging instructions. With
the addition of an internationally
recognized proper shipping name and
identification number, PHMSA is
considering the removal of the existing
HMT entry ‘‘NA 0276, Model rocket
motor.’’ We specifically solicit comment
on the potential impact of removing the
existing ‘‘NA 0276’’ 1.4C HMT entry.
• UN 3527 Polyester resin kit, solid

This new HMT entry addresses
polyester resin kits with a base material
that does not meet the definition of
Class 3 (Flammable liquid) and is more
appropriately classed as a Division 4.1
(Flammable solid). Presently, polyester
resin kits are limited to those with a
Class 3 liquid base material component
and are assigned under the entry UN
3269. This new entry permits products
with a viscous base component
containing a flammable solvent that

These new HMT entries apply to the
fuel contained in engines and
machinery powered by Class 3
flammable liquids, Division 2.1 gases,
and Class 9 environmentally hazardous
substances. The previous entry
applicable to these articles, UN 3166, is
now applicable to vehicles only. As a
result of the new ‘‘Engine’’ and
‘‘Machinery’’ entries, the entries ‘‘UN
3166, Engines, internal combustion, or
Engines, fuel cell, flammable gas
powered’’ and ‘‘UN 3166, Engines
internal combustion, or Engines, fuel

These new Division 4.1 HMT entries
are added for polymerizing substances
that do not meet the criteria for
inclusion in any other hazard class.
• Catecholborane (also known as 1, 3,
2-Benzodioxaborole)
At the ICAO DGP/25 meeting, the
Panel was informed of an incident
involving Catecholborane (also known
as 1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole) that
resulted in an industry recommendation
to forbid transport of the substance by
air unless transported in pressure
receptacles and under cooled
conditions. The material was classified
as ‘‘UN 2924, Flammable liquid,
corrosive, n.o.s.’’ The product properties
indicated (1) that the substance
decomposes to borane gas at a rate of 2
percent per week at room temperature,
(2) that borane gas could ignite when in
contact with moist air, and (3) that
catecholborane could react violently
with water. The incident occurred after
transport of the substance was delayed
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
for nine days as the result of extreme
weather conditions with temperatures
consistently above 33 °C (91 °F). After
being stored for approximately two
weeks at a low temperature at the
destination, several bottles containing
the substance exploded and caught fire.
It was concluded that moist air entered
the bottles during the long transit time
under high temperatures causing a
chemical reaction and pressure build
up. Panel members suspected a
classification problem, but they could
not determine whether this was due to
shipper error or a limitation in the
classification criteria in the regulations.
The issue was submitted to the attention
of the UN Sub-Committee at the
December 2016 meeting for further
review and determination if a new
classification was required. In the
interim, a new light type entry was
added to the ICAO Technical
Instructions Dangerous Goods List with
a new special provision (A210) assigned
to ‘‘Catecholborane’’ and ‘‘1, 3, 2Benzodioxaborole’’ forbidding the
substance for transport by air on both
passenger and cargo aircraft. Transport
on cargo aircraft would be possible with
the approval of the State of Origin and
State of the Operator.
Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, PHMSA proposes to add
new HMT entries in italics for
‘‘Catecholborane’’ and ‘‘1, 3, 2Benzodioxaborole’’ and to assign a new
special provision A210 clarifying that
this material is forbidden for air
transport unless approved by the
Associate Administrator.
Amendments to column (2) hazardous
materials descriptions and proper
shipping names:
Section 172.101(c) describes column
(2) of the HMT and the requirements for
hazardous materials descriptions and
proper shipping names.
• PHMSA proposes to amend the
proper shipping name for ‘‘UN 3269,
Polyester resin kit’’ by adding the
italicized text ‘‘liquid base material.’’
This is consistent with the format of the
new HMT entry for polyester resin kits
with a solid base material.
• PHMSA proposes to amend the
proper shipping names for ‘‘UN 3151,
Polyhalogenated biphenyls, liquid or
Polyhalogenated terphenyls, liquid’’ and
‘‘UN 3152, Polyhalogenated biphenyls,
solid or Polyhalogenated terphenyls,
solid’’ by adding ‘‘Halogenated
monomethyldiphenylmethanes, liquid’’
and ‘‘Halogenated
monomethyldiphenylmethanes, solid,’’
respectively. Noting that halogenated
monomethyldiphenylmethanes have
similar chemical and ecotoxicological
properties as polychlorinated biphenyls
PO 00000

Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
(PCBs) and polychlorinated terphenyls
(PCTs), we propose this revision to
ensure that they are considered as PCBs
or PCTs for the purposes of transport.
Amendments to column (3) hazard
class or division:
Section 172.101(d) describes column
(3) of the HMT and the designation of
the hazard class or division
corresponding to each proper shipping
name.
PHMSA proposes to revise the hazard
class of ‘‘UN 3507, Uranium
hexafluoride, radioactive material,
excepted package, less than 0.1 kg per
package, non-fissile or fissile-excepted,’’
from Class 8 to Division 6.1 and
subsequently to add the Class 8 hazard
as a subsidiary hazard label code in
column (6). This revision is based on
the precedence provisions for
classification of materials possessing
more than one hazard and is consistent
with the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations. The presence of a
Division 6.1 hazard was determined
following a thorough review of literature
and test data on uranium hexafluoride.
A summary of the data and a proposal
to revise the primary hazard class from
Class 8 to Division 6.1 was provided in
Working Paper ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/2014/
60, which was submitted to the 45th
session of the UN Sub-Committee of
Experts on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods and is available at https://
www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/
doc/2013/dgac10c3/ST-SG-AC.10-C.32014-60e.pdf.
Amendments to column (6) label(s):
Section 172.101(g) describes column
(6) of the HMT and the labels required
(primary and subsidiary) for specific
entries in the HMT.
Data presented to the UNSCOE in this
last biennium indicated a need for the
addition of a subsidiary hazard of
Division 6.1 to be assigned to ‘‘UN 2815,
N-Aminoethylpiperazine,’’ ‘‘UN 2977,
Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride, fissile,’’ and ‘‘UN 2978,
Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride non fissile or fissileexcepted.’’ PHMSA proposes to make
appropriate amendments to the HMT to
account for these revisions to the UN
Model Regulations.
For the HMT entry, ‘‘UN 3507,
Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive
material, excepted package, less than
0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or fissileexcepted,’’ PHMSA proposes to revise
the labels for consistency with the
change made to the classification of this
material under amendments to column
(3) (see above). The Class 8 (Corrosive)
primary hazard label would be revised
to a Division 6.1 primary hazard label
and Class 8 subsidiary hazard label in
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
addition to the existing Class 7
(Radioactive) subsidiary hazard label to
read ‘‘6.1, 7, 8.’’
Amendments to column (7) special
provisions:
Section 172.101(h) describes column
(7) of the HMT whereas § 172.102(c)
prescribes the special provisions
assigned to specific entries in the HMT.
The particular modifications to the
entries in the HMT are discussed below.
See ‘‘Section 172.102 special
provisions’’ below for a detailed
discussion of the proposed additions,
revisions, and deletions to the special
provisions addressed in this NPRM.
• In this NPRM, new special
provision 157 is proposed to be assigned
to the HMT entry ‘‘UN 3527, Polyester
resin kit, solid base material.’’
• In this NPRM, new special
provision 379 is proposed to be assigned
to the HMT entries ‘‘UN1005, Ammonia,
anhydrous’’ and ‘‘UN 3516, Adsorbed
gas, toxic, corrosive, n.o.s.’’
• In the 19th Revised Edition of the
UN Model Regulations, new special
provision 386 was assigned to the four
new ‘‘n.o.s.’’ HMT entries for
61753
polymerizing substances and to the 52
named substances in the HMT that
polymerize, all of which contain the text
‘‘stabilized’’ as part of the proper
shipping name, except for ‘‘UN 2383,
Dipropylamine’’ (see Table 2 below).
This new special provision includes
transport controls to avoid dangerous
polymerization reactions including the
use of chemical stabilization or
temperature control.
In this NPRM, new special provision
387 (special provision 386 already
exists) is proposed to be assigned to all
52 HMT entries.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
• In this NPRM, new special
provision 422 is proposed to be assigned
to the HMT entries ‘‘UN 3480, Lithium
ion batteries including lithium ion
polymer batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3481, Lithium
ion batteries contained in equipment
including lithium ion polymer
batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3481 Lithium ion
batteries packed with equipment
including lithium ion polymer
batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3090, Lithium metal
batteries including lithium alloy
batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3091, Lithium metal
batteries contained in equipment
including lithium alloy batteries’’; and
‘‘UN3091, Lithium metal batteries
packed with equipment including
lithium alloy batteries.’’
• In this NPRM, special provision 134
is proposed to be removed from the
HMT entry ‘‘UN 3072, Life-saving
appliances, not self-inflating containing
dangerous goods as equipment’’ and
replaced with new special provision
182. On January 8, 2015, PHMSA
published a final rule [Docket No.
PHMSA–2013–0260 (HM–215M); 80 FR
1075] that added special provision 134
to ‘‘UN 3072.’’ The intent of this action
was to harmonize with special provision
A182 of the ICAO Technical
Instructions to clarify that equipment
containing only lithium batteries must
be classified as either lithium batteries
contained in or packed with equipment
‘‘UN 3091’’ or ‘‘UN 3481.’’ In reviewing
the assignment of special provision 134
to ‘‘UN 3072’’ to make this clarification,
PHMSA found that the provisions of
special provision 134 are not assigned to
‘‘UN 3072’’ in any international
standard, but rather to the entry for ‘‘UN
3171, Battery-powered vehicle or
Battery-powered equipment.’’ Although
special provision 134 does require that
equipment powered only by lithium
metal batteries or lithium ion batteries
must be consigned under the entries
associated with lithium batteries
contained in or packed with equipment,
the rest of special provision 134 is not
applicable to ‘‘Life-saving appliances,
not self-inflating containing dangerous
goods as equipment.’’ As a result,
PHMSA proposes a new special
provision 182 applicable only to the
HMT entry for ‘‘UN 3072, Life-saving
appliances, not self-inflating containing
dangerous goods as equipment’’ to
clarify that equipment containing only
lithium batteries must be classified as
either lithium batteries contained in or
packed with equipment ‘‘UN 3091’’ or
‘‘UN 3481,’’ as appropriate.
• In this NPRM, new special
provision A210 is proposed to be
assigned to the new HMT italicized
entries for ‘‘Catecholborane’’ and ‘‘1, 3,
2-Benzodioxaborole.’’
• In this NPRM, new special
provision A212 is proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entry ‘‘UN 2031,
Nitric acid other than red fuming, with
more than 20 percent and less than 65
percent nitric acid.’’
• In this NPRM, new special
provision B134 is proposed to be
assigned to the PG III entries in Table 4
to be consistent with revisions to the
IMDG Code.

Ferrous metal borings or

• In this NPRM, special provision
TP1 is changed to TP2 for the following
entries: ‘‘UN 2672, Ammonia solution,
relative density between 0.880 and 0.957
at 15 degrees C in water, with more than
10 percent but not more than 35 percent
ammonia’’; ‘‘UN 2709, Butyl benzenes’’;
‘‘UN 2241, Cycloheptane’’; ‘‘UN 1206,
Heptanes’’; ‘‘UN 1208, Hexanes’’; ‘‘UN
2294, N-Methylaniline’’; ‘‘UN 2296,
Methylcyclohexane’’; ‘‘UN 1920,
Nonanes’’; ‘‘UN 1262, Octanes’’; ‘‘UN
2368, alpha-Pinene’’; ‘‘UN 1272, Pine
oil’’; ‘‘UN 2850, Propylene tetramer’’;
‘‘UN 2325, 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene’’;
‘‘UN 2057, Tripropylene’’; ‘‘UN 1299,
Turpentine’’; and ‘‘UN 1840, Zinc
chloride, solution.’’ Tank provision TP2
authorizes a slightly lower degree of
filling than TP1. The IMDG Code
follows a guiding principle that assigns
TP2 to materials that are marine
pollutants. In a previous harmonization
rulemaking (HM–215M; 80 FR 1075),
PHMSA added various hazardous
materials to the list of marine pollutants
in appendix B to § 172.101, but both the
HMT and IMDG Code failed to change
the TP code from TP1 to TP2 to
authorize a lower degree of filling.
• In this NPRM, special provisions
T9, TP7, and TP33 are proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entry ‘‘UN 1415,
Lithium.’’ This permits UN 1415 for
transportation in UN portable tanks
consistent with similar Division 4.3, PG
I materials.
• In this NPRM, new special
provisions W31, W32, W40, and W100
are proposed to certain water-reactive
substances. The proposed special
provisions correspond with special
packaging provisions PP31, PP31
‘‘modified’’ (Packing Instruction P403),
PP40, and PP100 of the IMDG Code,
respectively. Table 6 contains the
proposed changes listed in alphabetical
order and showing the proper shipping
name, UN identification number, and
the proposed special provision(s).

Amendments to column (9) quantity
limitations:
Section 172.101(j) describes column
(9) of the HMT and the quantity
limitations for specific entries.
Furthermore, columns (9A) and (9B)
specify the maximum quantities that
may be offered for transportation in one
package by passenger-carrying aircraft
or passenger-carrying rail car (column
(9A)) or by cargo-only aircraft (column
(9B)). The indication of ‘‘forbidden’’
means the material may not be offered
for transportation or transported in the
applicable mode of transport.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes for
column (9B) a quantity limit of 75 kg for
‘‘UN 0501, Propellant, solid, Division
1.4C.’’ Previously, column (9B) forbid
the transport of UN 0501 by cargo-only
aircraft. This new quantity limit is
consistent with the authorized quantity
limit found in the ICAO Technical
Instructions. In a working paper
submitted at the 25th meeting the ICAO
DGP, it was noted that while all other
Division 1.4C explosives listed in the
table were forbidden on passenger
aircraft, only UN 0501 was also
forbidden on cargo aircraft. A maximum
net quantity of 75 kg per package was
permitted on cargo aircraft for all other
Division 1.4C explosives. It was also
reported that a June 2015 meeting of the
United Nations Working Group on
Explosives had determined that there
were no differences between the
transport risks posed by UN 0501 and
other Division 1.4C explosives.
Amendments to column (10) vessel
stowage requirements:
Section 172.101(k) explains the
purpose of column (10) of the HMT and
prescribes the vessel stowage and
segregation requirements for specific
entries. Column (10) is divided into two
columns: column (10A) [Vessel stowage]
specifies the authorized stowage

locations on board cargo and passenger
vessels, and column (10B) [Other
provisions] specifies special stowage
and segregation provisions. The
meaning of each code in column (10B)
is set forth in § 176.84 of this
subchapter.
Consistent with changes to
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes numerous changes to
the vessel stowage location codes shown
in column (10A) of the HMT. The
majority of these changes are a result of
those made to the IMDG Code to ensure
the safe transportation of substances
requiring stabilization when transported
by vessel. Table 7 contains the proposed
changes listed in alphabetical order and
showing the proper shipping name, UN
identification number, current vessel
stowage location code, and proposed
vessel stowage location.

With the addition of a Division 6.1
subsidiary hazard to ‘‘UN 2815, NAminoethylpiperazine,’’ ‘‘UN 2977,
Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride, fissile,’’ and ‘‘UN 2978,
Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride non fissile or fissileexcepted,’’ PHMSA proposes that code
‘‘40,’’ which indicates that the material
must be stowed clear of living quarters,
be added to column (10B) for these
entries to remain consistent with the
IMDG Code.
As a consequence of adding special
provision 387, which addresses
stabilization requirements to 52 existing
entries in the HMT that are identified as
requiring such, the IMO amended vessel
stowage requirements for these entries.
PHMSA proposes to add code ‘‘25’’ to
column (10B) for the same 52 entries
identified in Table 2. We note that the
IMDG Code did not assign stowage
provisions equivalent to code ‘‘25’’ to
‘‘UN 1167, Divinyl ether, stabilized’’ or
‘‘UN 2383, Dipropylamine.’’ Stowage
code ‘‘25’’ requires these materials to be
protected from sources of heat. PHMSA
believes the omission of this stowage
requirement in the IMDG Code to be an
oversight, and we propose to add
stowage code ‘‘25’’ to these two HMR
entries.
Code ‘‘28’’ requires materials to which
this code is assigned to be stowed away
from flammable liquids. In this NPRM,
consistent with changes to the IMDG
Code, PHMSA proposes to remove code
‘‘28’’ from column (10B) for the
following HMT entries: ‘‘UN 2965,
Boron trifluoride dimethyl etherate’’;
‘‘UN 2988, Chlorosilanes, waterreactive, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s’’;
‘‘UN 1183, Ethyldichlorosilane’’; ‘‘UN
1242, Methyldichlorosilane’’; ‘‘UN 3490,
Toxic by inhalation liquid, waterreactive, flammable, n.o.s. with an LC50
lower than or equal to 200 ml/m3 and
saturated vapor concentration greater
than or equal to 500 LC50’’; and ‘‘UN
1295, Trichlorosilane.’’
Appendix B to § 172.101:
Appendix B to § 172.101 lists marine
pollutants regulated under the HMR.
PHMSA proposes to revise the list of
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
marine pollutants by adding six new
entries to remain consistent with the
IMDG Code. These changes are
proposed to include those substances
that were either assigned a ‘‘P’’ in the
dangerous goods list or identified in the
alphabetical index to Amendment 38–
16 of the IMDG Code—based on review
of evaluations for each individual
material, and associated isomers where
appropriate, performed by the Group of
Experts on the Scientific Aspects of
Marine Environmental Protection
(GESAMP) and the GESAMP defining
criteria for marine pollutants. The
following entries are proposed to be
added to the list of marine pollutants in
appendix B to § 172.101: Hexanes;
Hypochlorite solutions; Isoprene,
stabilized; N-Methylaniline;
Methylcyclohexane; and Tripropylene.
Section 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. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes the following revisions to
§ 172.102 special provisions:
• Special Provision 40: Special
provision 40 prescribes the criteria for
classification of a ‘‘Polyester resin kit.’’
PHMSA proposes to revise special
provision 40 by authorizing a polyester
resin kit to contain a Division 4.1 base
material consistent with the new HMT
entry ‘‘UN 3527, Polyester resin kit,
solid base material, 4.1.’’
• Special Provision 134: Special
provision 134 prescribes the
applicability of the HMT entry ‘‘UN
3171, Battery-powered vehicle or
Battery-powered equipment.’’ PHMSA
proposes to revise special provision 134
by amending the list of battery powered
vehicle examples to include trucks,
locomotives, bicycles (pedal cycles with
an electric motor) and other vehicles of
this type (e.g., self-balancing vehicles or
vehicles not equipped with at least one
seating position), and self-propelled
farming and construction equipment. In

addition, PHMSA proposes to organize
the structure of the special provision
into paragraph form for ease of reading.
• Special Provision 135: Special
provision 135 specifies that an internal
combustion engine installed in a vehicle
must be consigned to the entries
‘‘Vehicle, flammable gas powered’’ or
‘‘Vehicle, flammable liquid powered,’’
as appropriate. PHMSA proposes to
revise special provision 135 by
clarifying that vehicles powered by both
a flammable liquid and a flammable gas
internal combustion engine must be
consigned to the entry ‘‘Vehicle,
flammable gas powered.’’ In addition,
PHMSA proposes to revise special
provision 135 by clarifying that for the
purpose of this special provision, a
‘‘vehicle’’ is a self-propelled apparatus
designed to carry one or more persons
or goods. A list of examples is provided.
• Special Provision 157: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
157 and assigning it to ‘‘UN 3527,
Polyester resin kit, solid base material.’’
The special provision would allow the
maximum net capacity for inner
packagings of flammable solids in
packing group II to be increased to no
more than 5 kg (11 pounds) when the
material is transported as a limited
quantity.
• Special Provision 181: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
181 and assigning it to ‘‘UN 3481,
Lithium ion batteries contained in
equipment’’; ‘‘UN 3481, Lithium ion
batteries packed with equipment’’; ‘‘UN
3091, Lithium metal batteries contained
in equipment’’; and ‘‘UN 3091, Lithium
metal batteries packed with
equipment.’’ The special provision
would specify that when lithium cells
or batteries packed with equipment and
lithium cells or batteries contained in
equipment are packed in the same
package, the shipping paper (if used)
and the package must use the ‘‘packed
with’’ proper shipping name and UN
number. Further, all packaging
requirements applicable to both proper
shipping names must be met and the
total mass of cells or batteries in the
package must not exceed the quantity

limits specified in columns (9A) and
(9B), as applicable.
• Special Provision 182: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
182 and assigning it to ‘‘UN 3072, Lifesaving appliances, not self-inflating
containing dangerous goods as
equipment’’ to clarify that equipment
containing only lithium batteries must
be classified as either UN 3091 or UN
3481, as appropriate.
• Special Provision 238: Special
provision 238 addresses the shipment of
neutron radiation detectors. PHMSA
proposes to revise special provision 238
to align with the UN Model Regulations
special provision 373 by permitting the
packaging to contain ‘‘absorbent’’ or
‘‘adsorbent’’ material where the
previous requirement permitted
‘‘absorbent’’ material only.
• Special Provision 369: Special
provision 369 prescribes classification
criteria, consignment instructions and
transport conditions for ‘‘UN 3507,
Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive
material, excepted package, less than
0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or fissileexcepted.’’ PHMSA proposes to revise
special provision 369 in conjunction
with revising the primary classification
for UN 3507 from Class 8 to Division
6.1. Specifically, PHMSA proposes to
clarify that this radioactive material in
an excepted package possessing toxic
and corrosive properties is classified in
Division 6.1 with radioactive and
corrosive subsidiary risks.
• Special Provision 379: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
379 and assigning it to the HMT entries
‘‘UN 1005, Ammonia, anhydrous’’ and
‘‘UN 3516, Adsorbed gas, toxic,
corrosive, n.o.s.’’ This special provision
is applicable to ammonia dispensers
containing adsorbed ammonia, which
are used to reduce polluting nitrogen
oxide emissions from automobiles. The
UN Sub-Committee found that the
substance contained in the receptacles
did not meet any criteria for
classification in the Model Regulations,
but it acknowledged that the substance
did fit the recent definition of an
adsorbed gas. Based on the stability of
adsorption under normal transport
conditions, an exception for these
dispensers was adopted subject to
appropriate packaging conditions. These
materials are normally forbidden for
transport by air on passenger and cargo
aircraft; however, consistent with the
ICAO Technical Instructions, PHMSA
proposes to authorize them on cargo
aircraft subject to the transport
conditions prescribed in the special
provision with additional approval of
the Associate Administrator.

• Special Provision 387: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
387 and assigning it to the four new
‘‘n.o.s.’’ polymerizing substance HMT
entries and to the 52 existing HMT
entries that are identified as requiring
stabilization. This special provision sets
forth the transport conditions when
stabilization, or prevention of
polymerization, is provided through the
use of a chemical inhibitor. When a
substance is stabilized via use of a
chemical inhibitor, it is important to
ensure that the level of stabilization is
sufficient to prevent the onset of a
dangerous reaction under conditions
normally incident to transportation.
This special provision requires a
determination that the degree of
chemical stabilization employed at the
time the package, IBC, or tank is offered
for transport must be suitable to ensure
that the sustained bulk mean
temperature of the substance in the
package, IBC, or tank will not exceed 50
°C (122 °F), under conditions normally
incident to transportation. The special
provision also specifies that temperature
control is required at the point where
chemical stabilization becomes
ineffective at lower temperatures within
the anticipated duration of transport.
Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, PHMSA proposes to clarify
in special provision 387 that these
substances are forbidden for transport
by air when temperature control is
required.
• Special Provision 422: PHMSA
proposes to add new special provision
422 to the HMT entries ‘‘UN 3480,
Lithium ion batteries including lithium
ion polymer batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3481,
Lithium ion batteries contained in
equipment including lithium ion
polymer batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3481, Lithium
ion batteries packed with equipment
including lithium ion polymer
batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3090, Lithium metal
batteries including lithium alloy
batteries’’; ‘‘UN 3091, Lithium metal
batteries contained in equipment
including lithium alloy batteries’’; and
‘‘Lithium metal batteries packed with
equipment including lithium alloy
batteries.’’ Special provision 422 states
that the new lithium battery Class 9
label shown in § 172.447 is to be used
for packages containing lithium
batteries that require labels. Consistent
with the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes a transition period
that would authorize labels conforming
to requirements in place on December
31, 2016 to continue to be used until
December 31, 2018. Class 9 placards,
when used, must conform to the
existing requirements in § 172.560.

• Special Provision A210: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
A210 and assigning it to the new
italicized HMT entries
‘‘Catecholborane’’ and its synonym ‘‘1,
3, 2-Benzodioxaborole.’’ Consistent with
the ICAO Technical Instructions, this
special provision clarifies that this
substance is forbidden for transport by
air and may only be transported on
cargo aircraft with the approval of the
Associate Administrator.
• Special Provision A212: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
A212 and assigning it to the to the HMT
entry ‘‘UN 2031, Nitric acid other than
red fuming, with more than 20 percent
and less than 65 percent nitric acid.’’
Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, this special provision
allows sterilization devices containing
nitric acid conforming to the conditions
in the special provision to be offered for
transportation by passenger aircraft
irrespective of column (9A) of the
§ 172.101 HMT listing the material as
forbidden.
• Special Provision B134: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
B134 and assigning it to UN Numbers
1309, 1376, 1483, 1869, 2793, and 2878.
When in Large Packagings offered for
transport by vessel, flexible or fiber
inner packages containing these
materials would need to be sift-proof
and water-resistant, or fitted with a siftproof and water-resistant liner.
Consistent with the IMDG Code, these
provisions will increase the ability of
these packages to perform their
containment function and reduce the
likelihood of a fire on board cargo
vessels when used to transport
substances that either generate large
amounts of heat or give off flammable or
corrosive toxic gases on contact with
water or moisture.
• Special Provision B135: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
B135 and assigning it to UN Numbers
1932, 2008, 2545, 2546, 2881, and 3189.
When in Large Packagings offered for
transport by vessel, flexible or fiber
inner packages containing these
materials would need to be hermetically
sealed. Consistent with the IMDG Code,
these provisions will increase the ability
of these packages to perform their
containment function and reduce the
likelihood of a fire on board cargo
vessels when used to transport
substances that either generate large
amounts of heat or give off flammable or
corrosive toxic gases on contact with
water or moisture.
• IP Code 19: PHMSA proposes to
add a new IP Code 19 and assign it to
UN 3531, UN 3532, UN 3553, and UN
3534. Consistent with international

regulations, this special provision
would require that IBCs are designed
and constructed to permit the release of
gas or vapor, thereby preventing a buildup of pressure that could rupture the
IBCs in the event of loss of stabilization
• Special Provision N90: Special
provision N90 is assigned to the HMT
entry ‘‘UN 3474, 1Hydroxybenzotriazole, monohydrate’’
and prohibits the use of metal packages.
PHMSA proposes, consistent with the
UN Model Regulations, to revise special
provision N90 by clarifying that the
prohibition of metal packages does not
include packagings constructed of other
material with a small amount of metal
(e.g., metal closures or other metal
fittings). However, packagings
constructed with a small amount of
metal must be designed such that the
hazardous material does not contact the
metal.
• Special Provision N92: PHMSA
proposes adding special provision N92
to the four proposed polymerizing
substance, n.o.s. entries. This special
provision requires packages that are
utilized for the transportation of
polymerizing substances to be designed
and constructed to permit the release of
gas or vapor to prevent a build-up of
pressure that could rupture the
packagings in the event of loss of
stabilization.
• Special Provision W31: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
W31 and assigning it to the 155 HMT
entries identified in Table 6 in the
‘‘Amendments to column (7) special
provisions’’ section of this rulemaking.
With the addition of this special
provision, PHMSA proposes to require
packages assigned as such to be
hermetically sealed when offered for
transportation by vessel.
The proposed addition of W31 to
these commodities harmonizes the HMR
with changes made in Amendment 38–
16 of the IMDG Code, as well as the
transportation requirements of the HMR
with the IMDG Code for other
commodities where they were not
previously harmonized. The IMDG Code
has had provisions in place equivalent
to proposed W31 (PP31) for certain
commodities since at least 1998.4 Other
hazardous materials regulations (ICAO
Technical Instructions, HMR, and UN
Model Regulations) do not currently
contain provisions similar to W31.
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code is
adding this hermetically sealed
packaging requirement to 15 entries in
its Dangerous Goods List (some with
multiple packing groups).
The proposed amendment would
reduce the risk of fire on board cargo
vessels carrying hazardous materials
that can react dangerously with the
ship’s available water and carbon
dioxide fire extinguishing systems.
Some of the hazardous materials for
which PHMSA is proposing to amend
the vessel transportation packaging
requirements react with water or
moisture generating excessive heat or
releasing toxic or flammable gases.
Common causes for water entering into
the container are: water entering
through ventilation or structural flaws
in the container; water entering into the
containers placed on deck or in the hold
in heavy seas; and water entering into
the cargo space upon a ship collision or
leak. If water has already entered the
container, the packaging is the only
protection from a potential fire.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to
strengthen the ability of these packages
transporting water-reactive substances.
PHMSA anticipates this proposed
amendment could result in additional
costs to domestic-only shippers but not
to those shippers transporting such
goods internationally. We assume that
all shippers that ship hazardous
materials internationally will
incorporate IMDG Code-compliant
packaging requirements into their
business practices. These proposed
amendments will increase costs for
some domestic shipments of affected
commodities and will require materials
currently transported in packaging not
already hermetically sealed to be thus
packaged. Adoption of these provisions
will increase the ability of these
packages to perform their containment
function and reduce the likelihood of a
fire on board cargo vessels when used
to transport substances that either
generate large amounts of heat or give
off flammable or toxic gases on contact
with water or moisture. A 2011 Formal
Safety Assessment (FSA) report
presented to the IMO on shipping waterreactive materials by vessel 5 provides
guidance regarding changes to the
regulation of such shipments, as well as
the net benefit of such changes. The
FSA report notes that analysis of the
documented cases of fire at sea indicates
that the cause of the accidents is often
difficult or impossible to determine.
Although the cargo space is in some
cases identified as the origin of the fire,
the originating container is only

before 1998. PHMSA reviewed hard copy IMDG
Codes dating back to 1998 but was unable to locate
the origin of these provisions.

identifiable in rare instances, and thus,
there is no reliable data on the
involvement of water-reactive materials
in these fires. Additionally, in most
cases, fires that start do not exceed the
containment of the container itself and
extinguish on their own. These selfextinguishing fires are usually not
detected until the container is unloaded
at its destination and, thus, are rarely
documented in any relation to vessel or
mode of shipment.6
Regarding the cost of reducing the risk
of fire from water-exposure of waterreactive materials by requiring waterresistant packaging, the FSA report
concluded that the costs in relation to
the amount of affected goods is likely to
be high.7 However, the FSA expect that
this measure will affect only a small
number of goods, which are transported
in small amounts, so that the costs in
relation to the total amount of all
transported goods is likely to be low.8
PHMSA recognizes that both the FSA
report and our own Regulatory Impact
Analysis lack quantitative data on the
true cost of this proposal, as well as the
amount of these hazardous materials
currently transported by vessel. We are
specifically soliciting comment
addressing any estimates of the cost of
compliance with these amendments and
any quantitative data on the amounts of
the commodities affected by this
proposal that are currently offered for
transportation by domestic vessel.
• Special Provision W32: PHMSA
proposes adding new special provision
W32 and assigning it to 38 HMT entries
identified in Table 6 in the
‘‘Amendments to column (7) special
provisions’’ section of this rulemaking.
With the addition of this special
provision, PHMSA proposes to require
packages assigned this special provision
to be hermetically sealed, except for
solid fused material, when offered for
transportation by vessel. The 38 entries
to which this addition are proposed are
already required to be packaged in this
manner in accordance with the IMDG
Code through a modified PP31 (when
compared to the PP31 mentioned in the
W31 discussion above) assigned to
various packing instructions. See the
comments in the W31 discussion above
for more discussion on the reasons for
this proposed amendment.

proposes adding new special provision
W100 and assigning it to 27 HMT
entries identified in Table 6 in the
‘‘Amendments to the column (7) special
provisions’’ section of this rulemaking.
With the addition of this special
provision, PHMSA proposes to require
flexible, fiberboard, or wooden
packagings that are assigned this special
provision to be sift-proof and waterresistant, or to be fitted with a sift-proof
and water-resistant liner. These
proposed amendments are intended to
ensure that water-reactive materials
transported by vessel are in packages
that provide an appropriate level of
protection from the ingress of water. See
the comments in the W31 discussion
above for more discussion on the
reasons for this proposed amendment.
Section 172.407
Section 172.407 prescribes
specifications for labels. On January 8,
2015, PHMSA published a final rule
[Docket No. PHMSA–2013–0260 (HM–
215M); 80 FR 1075] that required labels
to have a solid line forming the inner
border 5 mm from the outside edge of
the label and a minimum line width of
2 mm. Transitional exceptions were
provided allowing labels authorized
prior to this rulemaking to be used until
December 31, 2016.
The rulemaking authorized a
reduction in label dimensions and
features if the size of the packaging so
requires. This allowance for reduction
in label dimensions, consistent with the
requirements for standard size labels,
was contingent on the solid line forming
the inner border remaining 5 mm from
the outside edge of the label and the
minimum width of the line remaining 2
mm. PHMSA has become aware that
maintaining these inner border size
requirements, while reducing the size of
other label elements, may potentially
result in the symbols on the reduced
size labels no longer being identifiable.
Consequently, we are proposing to
revise paragraph (c)(i) to remove the
existing inner border size requirements
for reduced dimension labels and
authorizing the entire label to be
reduced proportionally.
In the same January 8, 2015 final rule,
PHMSA authorized the continued use of
a label in conformance with the
requirements of this paragraph in effect
on December 31, 2014, until December

31, 2016. PHMSA has been made aware
that the transition period provided may
not be sufficient to allow the regulated
community to implement necessary
changes to business practices or to
deplete inventories of previously
authorized labels. PHMSA is proposing
to extend the transition date provided in
paragraph (c)(1)(iii) until December 31,
2018 for domestic transportation in
order to provide additional time for
implementation and depletion of
existing stocks of labels.
Section 172.447
PHMSA proposes to create a new
section containing a new Class 9 hazard
warning label for lithium batteries. The
label would consist of the existing Class
9 label with the addition of a figure
depicting a group of batteries with one
broken and emitting a flame in the
lower half. This label would appear on
packages containing lithium batteries
required to display hazard warning
labels and is intended to better
communicate the specific hazards posed
by lithium batteries. This action is
consistent with the most recent editions
of the UN Model Regulations, the ICAO
Technical Instructions, and the IMDG
Code. Packages of lithium batteries
displaying the existing Class 9 label may
continue to be used until December 31,
2018. We propose this transition period
to allow shippers to exhaust existing
stocks of labels and pre-printed
packagings. We are not proposing any
modifications to the existing Class 9
placard or the creation of a Class 9
placard specifically for cargo transport
units transporting lithium batteries.
PHMSA solicits comment on the
appropriateness of this transition
period.
Section 172.505
Section 172.505 details the transport
situations that require subsidiary
placarding. Uranium hexafluoride is a
volatile solid that may present both
chemical and radiological hazards. It is
one of the most highly soluble industrial
uranium compounds and, when
airborne, hydrolyzes rapidly on contact
with water to form hydrofluoric acid
(HF) and uranyl fluoride (UO2F2).9
As previously discussed in the review
of changes to § 172.102, the UN SubCommittee determined it necessary that
a 6.1 subsidiary hazard be added to the
Dangerous Goods List of uranium
hexafluoride entries. Currently, in
addition to the radioactive placard
which may be required by § 172.504(e),
each transport vehicle, portable tank, or

freight container that contains 454 kg
(1,001 pounds) or more gross weight of
non-fissile, fissile-excepted, or fissile
uranium hexafluoride must be
placarded with a corrosive placard on
each side and each end. PHMSA
proposes to add a requirement for these
shipments currently requiring corrosive
subsidiary placards to also placard with
6.1 poison or toxic placards. PHMSA
believes the addition of this requirement
will provide important hazard
communication information in the event
of a release of uranium hexafluoride.
Part 173
Section 173.4a
Section 173.4a prescribes
transportation requirements for
excepted packages. In this NPRM,
consistent with changes to the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraph (e)(3) to allow
required absorbent materials to be
placed in either the intermediate or
outer packaging. PHMSA believes this
change will provide shippers of
excepted packages with increased
flexibility in choosing packaging
configurations, while maintaining the
current level of safety for the
transportation of these small amounts of
hazardous materials.
Section 173.9
Section 173.9 prescribes requirements
for the fumigant marking. In this NRPM,
PHMSA proposes to amend § 173.9 to
require that the fumigant marking and
its required information are capable of
withstanding a 30-day exposure to open
weather conditions. This requirement is
consistent with the survivability
requirements for placards found in
§ 172.519. Amendment 38–16 of the
IMDG Code was amended to require the
fumigant marking to be capable of
surviving three months immersion in
the sea, which is consistent with IMDG
Code requirements for placard
survivability. PHMSA believes ensuring
that the fumigant marking and its
required information are robust enough
to handle conditions normally incident
to transportation will ensure the proper
information is conveyed to those
needing it. Therefore, we are proposing
amendments to this section consistent
with the survivability requirements for
placards.
Section 173.21
Section 173.21 describes situations in
which the offering for transport or
transportation of materials or packages
is forbidden. Examples include
materials designated as ‘‘Forbidden’’ in
column (3) of the HMT; electrical
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM

devices that are likely to generate sparks
and/or a dangerous amount of heat; and
materials that are likely to decompose or
polymerize and generate dangerous
quantities of heat or gas during
decomposition or polymerization. In
§ 173.21, PHMSA proposes to lower the
temperature threshold at which a
polymerizing substance is forbidden for
transport, unless the material is
stabilized or inhibited, from 54 °C
(130 °F) to 50 °C (122 °F) and to amend
the table in paragraph (f)(1) to
accommodate the specific temperature
controls applicable to polymerizing
substances. This 50 °C (122 °F)
temperature is consistent with existing
requirements for Division 4.1 (Selfreactive) and Division 5.2 (Organic
peroxide) hazardous materials, as well
as the 19th Revised Edition of UN
Model Regulations for the transport of
polymerizing substances in packages
and IBCs, which requires temperature
control in transport if the SAPT is 45 °C
(113 °F) only for polymerizing
substances offered for transport in
portable tanks. We are not proposing to
adopt a different temperature threshold
before temperature control is required
for portable tanks transporting
polymerizing substances. At this time,
we believe there is not sufficient data to
support a different threshold for
polymerizing substances in portable
tanks. Further, we believe maintaining a
single SADT/SAPT for temperature
controls for all relevant materials (i.e.,
self-reactives, organic peroxides, and
polymerizing substances) and all
packaging sizes (i.e., non-bulk, IBC, and
bulk) is less confusing for the user.

Section 173.40
Section 173.40 provides general
packaging requirements for toxic
materials packaged in cylinders. In this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise
paragraph (a)(1) to clarify that TC, CTC,
CRC, and BTC cylinders authorized in
§ 171.12, except for acetylene cylinders,
may be used for toxic materials.
Section 173.50
Section 173.50 provides definitions
for the various divisions of Class 1
(Explosive) materials referenced in part
173 subpart C. Paragraph (b) of this
section notes that Class 1 (Explosive)
materials are divided into six divisions
and that the current definition of
Division 1.6 states that ‘‘this division
comprises articles which contain only
extremely insensitive substances.’’
PHMSA proposes to amend the
definition of Division 1.6 to note that
the division is made up of articles that
predominately contain extremely
insensitive substances. Consistent with
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
the recent changes to the UN Model
Regulations, the new definition means
that an article does not need to contain
solely extremely insensitive substances
to be classified as a Division 1.6
material.
Section 173.52
Section 173.52 contains descriptions
of classification codes for explosives
assigned by the Associate
Administrator. These compatibility
codes consist of the division number
followed by the compatibility group
letter. Consistent with changes proposed
to § 173.50 and those made in the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
amend the descriptive text for the 1.6N
classification code entry in the existing
table in this section to indicate that
these explosives are articles
predominantly containing extremely
insensitive substances.
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 provides specific
packaging requirements for explosives.
Consistent with the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to revise
§ 173.62 relating to specific packaging
requirements for explosives.
In paragraph (b), in the Explosives
Table, the entry for ‘‘UN 0510, Rocket
motors’’ would be added and assigned
Packing Instruction 130 consistent with
other rocket motor entries.
In paragraph (c), in the Table of
Packing Methods, Packing Instruction
112(c) would be revised by adding a
particular packaging requirement
applicable to UN 0504 requiring that
metal packagings must not be used. It
would also be clarified that the
prohibition of metal packagings does
not include packagings constructed of
other material with a small amount of
metal (e.g., metal closures or other metal
fittings). Packing Instruction 114(b)
would be revised to clarify in the
particular packaging requirement
applicable to UN 0508 and UN 0509 that
the prohibition of metal packagings does
not include packagings constructed of
other material with a small amount of
metal (i.e., metal closures or other metal
fittings). Packing Instruction 130 would
be revised by adding UN 0510 to the list
of large and robust explosives articles
that may be transported unpackaged.
PHMSA proposes to add UN 0502 to
Packing Instruction P130. This addition
corrects an existing error in the HMR.
Packing Instruction 130 is referenced for
UN 0502, but there is no mention of UN
0502 in the actual instruction. Packing
Instruction 137 would be revised by
amending the particular packaging

the marking requirement ‘‘THIS SIDE

orientation marking prescribed in
§ 172.312(b).
Section 173.121
Section 173.121 provides criteria for
the assignment of packing groups to
Class 3 materials. Paragraph (b)(iv)
provides criteria for viscous flammable
liquids of Class 3, such as paints,
enamels, lacquers and varnishes, to be
placed in packing group III on the basis
of their viscosity, coupled with other
criteria. In this NPRM, and consistent
with the changes to the UN Model
regulations, PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (b)(iv) to include additional
viscosity criteria that can be used as an
alternative where a flow cup test is
unsuitable. Many products of the paint
and printing ink industry are
thixotropic in nature, which means that
they are viscous at rest but become
thinner on application of shear or
agitation (such as stirring or brushing).
During transport these viscous
flammable liquids have the potential to
thin under movement, but their
viscosity cannot be properly
characterized using a flow cup test since
they will not run through the cup under
static conditions. Additionally, PHMSA
proposes to include an explanatory
footnote to the existing table of viscosity
and flash point to assist users of the
section in determining kinematic
viscosity.
Section 173.124
Section 173.124 outlines defining
criteria for Divisions 4.1 (Flammable
solid), 4.2 (Spontaneously combustible),
and 4.3 (Dangerous when wet material).
Division 4.1 (Flammable solid) includes
desensitized explosives, self-reactive
materials, and readily combustible
solids. The UN Model Regulations
adopted amendments to include
polymerizing materials to the list of
materials that meet the definition of
Division 4.1. Transport conditions for
polymerizing materials are not new
under the HMR. Section § 173.21
presently contains approval provisions
for the transport of polymerizing
materials. Unlike the present HMR
requirements, the classification
requirements adopted in the UN Model
Regulations do not require testing to
determine the rate of vapor production
when heated under confinement. This
rate should be the deciding factor when
determining whether a polymerizing
substance should be authorized for
transportation in an IBC or portable
tank. PHMSA proposes to add
polymerizing materials to the list of
materials that meet the definition of
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
Division 4.1 with the additional
requirement that that polymerizing
substances are only authorized for
transport if they pass the UN Test Series
E at the ‘‘None’’ or ‘‘Low’’ level when
tested for heating under confinement, or
other equivalent test method. Given
concerns with potential test equipment
issues (i.e., clogging) when subjecting
polymerizing materials to the UN Test
Series E, PHMSA solicits comment on
other equivalent test methods.
Specifically, we propose to add a new
paragraph, (a)(4), that defines
polymerizing materials generally and
specifies defining criteria. Polymerizing
materials are materials that are liable to
undergo an exothermic reaction
resulting in the formation of polymers
under conditions normally encountered
in transport. Additionally, polymerizing
materials in Division 4.1 have a selfaccelerating polymerization temperature
of 75 °C (167 °F) or less; have an
appropriate packaging determined by
successfully passing the UN Test Series
E at the ‘‘None’’ or ‘‘Low’’ level or by
an equivalent test method; exhibit a heat
of reaction of more than 300 J/g; and do
not meet the definition of any other
hazard class.

Section 173.165
Section 173.165 prescribes the
transport and packaging requirements
for polyester resin kits. PHMSA
proposes to revise § 173.165 by adding
the requirements for polyester resin kits
with a flammable solid base consistent
with the new HMT entry ‘‘UN 3527,
Polyester resin kit, solid base material,
4.1.’’
Section 173.185
Section 173.185 prescribes
transportation requirements for lithium
batteries. Paragraph (c) describes
alternative packaging and alternative
hazard communication for shipments of
up to 8 small lithium cells or 2 small
batteries per package (up to 1 gram per
lithium metal cell, 2 grams per lithium
metal battery, 20 Wh per lithium ion
cell, and 100 Wh per lithium ion
battery). Specifically, PHMSA proposes
to amend paragraph (c) to require strong
outer packagings for small lithium cells
or batteries to be rigid and to replace the
current text markings that communicate
the presence of lithium batteries and the
flammability hazard that exists if
damaged with a single lithium battery
mark. Additionally, the package must be
of adequate size that the lithium battery
mark can be displayed on one side of
the package without folding. PHMSA
also proposes to require the lithium
battery mark to appear on packages
containing lithium cells or batteries, or
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
lithium cells or batteries packed with, or
contained in, equipment when there are
more than two packages in the
consignment. This requirement would
not apply to a package containing
button cell batteries installed in
equipment (including circuit boards) or
when no more than four lithium cells or
two lithium batteries are installed in the
equipment. We are further clarifying
what is meant by the term
‘‘consignment’’ by defining the term
used in § 173.185 as one or more
packages of hazardous materials
accepted by an operator from one
shipper at one time and at one address,
receipted for in one lot and moving to
one consignee at one destination
address.
Under current HMR requirements, a
package of cells or batteries that meets
the requirements of § 173.185(c) may be
packed in strong outer packagings that
meet the general requirements of
§§ 173.24 and 173.24a instead of the
standard UN performance packaging.
Lithium batteries packed in accordance
with § 173.185(c) must be packed in
strong outer packagings that meet the
general packaging requirements of
§§ 173.24 and 173.24a and be capable of
withstanding a 1.2 meter (3.9 ft) drop
test without damage to the cells or
batteries contained in the package,
shifting of the contents that would allow
battery to battery or cell to cell contact,
or release of contents. Alternative
hazard communication requirements
also apply. The Class 9 label is replaced
with text indicating the presence of
lithium batteries; an indication that the
package must be handled with care and
that a flammability hazard exists if
damaged; procedures to take in the
event of damage; and a telephone
number for additional information.
Instead of a shipping paper, the shipper
can provide the carrier with an
alternative document that includes the
same information as provided on the
package.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to
replace the existing text marking
requirements in § 173.185(c)(3) with a
standard lithium battery mark for use in
all transport modes and to remove the
requirement in § 173.185(c)(3) for
shippers to provide an alternative
document. The lithium battery mark
communicates key information (i.e., the
package contents and that a
flammability hazard exists if damaged).
The mark utilizes recognizable symbols
that permit transport workers and
emergency responders to quickly
ascertain the package contents and take
appropriate action. A single mark that is
understood and accepted for all
transport modes will increase the

effectiveness. PHMSA proposes a
transition period of December 31, 2018,
to provide adequate time for shippers to
transition the new lithium battery mark
and exhaust existing stocks of
preprinted packagings or markings. The
current documentation requirement is
redundant given the existing marking
requirement and provides minimal
additional safety value to that provided
by the mark.
At the 49th session of UN SubCommittee, a late design revision to the
lithium battery mark was adopted to
authorize the mark on a background of
‘‘suitable contrasting color’’ in addition
to white. This is consistent with design
requirements for limited quantity marks
and other marks in the Model
Regulations. We are proposing to also
allow the mark on a background of
suitable contrasting color in addition to
white.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to
amend § 173.185(c)(2) to specify that
outer packagings used to contain small
lithium batteries must be rigid and of
adequate size so the handling mark can
be affixed on one side without the mark
being folded. The HMR currently do not
prescribe minimum package dimensions
or specific requirements for package
performance other than the
requirements described in §§ 173.24 and
173.24a. We are aware of several
instances in which either the package
dimensions were not adequate to
accommodate the required marks and
labels or the package was not
sufficiently strong to withstand the
rigors of transport. These proposals will
enhance the communication and
recognition of lithium batteries and
better ensure that packaging is strong
enough to withstand normal transport
conditions.
PHMSA proposes amendments to
§ 173.185(e) to permit the transport of
prototype and low production runs of
lithium batteries contained in
equipment. These proposals are mostly
consistent with amendments adopted
into the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations and Amendment 38–
16 to the IMDG Code, which authorize
the transportation of prototype and low
production runs of lithium batteries
contained in equipment in packaging
tested to the PG II level. The ICAO TI
authorizes the transportation of
prototype and low production runs of
lithium batteries contained in
equipment in packaging tested to the PG
I level. PHMSA proposes to continue to
require prototype and low production
batteries to be placed in packaging
tested to the PG I performance level.
PHMSA believes that the higher
integrity packaging provides an

additional layer of protection for cells
and batteries not otherwise subjected to
the UN design tests.
Consistent with changes to the UN
Model Regulations, the IMDG Code, and
the ICAO Technical Instructions,
PHMSA proposes to add new paragraph
(e)(7) to require shipments of low
production runs and prototype lithium
batteries to note conformance with the
requirements of § 173.185(e) on
shipping papers.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes
amendments to § 173.185(f)(4) to
harmonize with a requirement in the
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations that the ‘‘Damaged/
defective lithium ion battery’’ and/or
‘‘Damaged/defective lithium metal
battery’’ marking as appropriate be in
characters at least 12 mm (.47 inch)
high.
Section 173.217
Section 173.217 establishes packaging
requirements for dry ice (carbon
dioxide, solid). Paragraph (c) prescribes
additional packaging requirements for
air transport. Consistent with the ICAO
Technical Instructions, in this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to remove the term
‘‘other type of pallet’’ in paragraph (c)(3)
that excepts dry ice being used as a
refrigerant for other non-hazardous
materials from the quantity limits per
package shown in columns (9A) and
(9B) of the § 172.101 HMT.
A working paper submitted to the
October 2014 ICAO Dangerous Goods
Panel meeting noted that the term
‘‘other type of pallet’’ was used in
conjunction in various parts of the ICAO
Technical Instructions with the terms
‘‘package,’’ ‘‘overpack,’’ or ‘‘unit load
device,’’ which were all defined in the
ICAO Technical Instructions. The ICAO
Technical Instructions do not have a
specific definition for ‘‘other type of
pallet,’’ as the term is understood to
represent devices that are widely used
in transport, such as wooden skids or
pallets that allow the use of a forklift for
ease of moving packages around and to
prevent damage to the contents of the
skid or pallet. The definition for
‘‘overpack’’ already addresses the intent
of the term ‘‘other type of pallet,’’ so it
was agreed that the term ‘‘other type of
pallet’’ was redundant and that
references to it would be removed.
Section 173.220
Section 173.220 prescribes
transportation requirements and
exceptions for internal combustion
engines, vehicles, machinery containing
internal combustion engines, batterypowered equipment or machinery, and
fuel cell-powered equipment or
VerDate Sep<11>2014

machinery. The UN Model Regulations
adopted amendments to the existing UN
3166 engine and vehicle entries during
the last biennium. These changes are
continuations of efforts undertaken by
the UN Sub-Committee to ensure
appropriate hazard communication is
provided for engines containing large
quantities of fuels.
The 17th Edition of the UN Model
Regulations added special provision
363, which required varying levels of
hazard communication depending on
the type and quantity of fuel present, in
attempts to ensure the hazards
associated with engines containing large
quantities of fuel were sufficiently
communicated. PHMSA did not adopt
the provisions found in special
provision 363 at the time they were
introduced.
As previously discussed in the review
of the new proposed HMT entries, the
existing UN 3166 identification number
was maintained for the various vehicle
entries in the Model Regulations, and
three new UN identification numbers
and proper shipping names were
created for engines or machinery
internal combustion and were assigned
a hazard classification based on the type
of fuel used. The three new UN numbers
and proper shipping names are as
follows: A Class 3 entry ‘‘UN 3528,
Engine, internal combustion engine,
flammable liquid powered, or Engine
fuel cell, flammable liquid powered, or
Machinery, internal combustion,
flammable liquid powered, or
Machinery, fuel cell, flammable liquid
powered’’; a Division 2.1 entry ‘‘UN
3529, Engine, internal combustion
engine, flammable gas powered, or
Engine fuel cell, flammable gas
powered, or Machinery, internal
combustion, flammable gas powered, or
Machinery, fuel cell, flammable gas
powered’’; and a Class 9 entry ‘‘UN
3530, Engine, internal combustion, or
Machinery, internal combustion.’’
Consistent with the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to add to
the HMR the new UN identification
numbers and proper shipping names for
engines and machinery. PHMSA
proposes to maintain the existing
transportation requirements and
exceptions for engines and machinery
found in § 173.220 for all modes of
transportation other than vessel. To
harmonize as closely as possible with
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes the following
amendments to § 173.220: Amending
paragraph (b)(1) to include a reference
to engines powered by fuels that are
marine pollutants but do not meet the
criteria of any other Class or Division;
amending paragraph (b)(4)(ii) to include
PO 00000
Frm 00025

a reference to the proposed new
§ 176.906 containing requirements for
shipments of engines or machinery
offered for transportation by vessel;
amending paragraph (d) to authorize the
transportation of securely installed
prototype or low production run lithium
batteries in engines and machinery by
modes of transportation other than air;
and adding paragraph (h)(3) to include
references to existing and proposed
exceptions for vehicles, engines, and
machinery in §§ 176.905 and 176.906.
ICAO adopted a provision that
requires battery powered vehicles that
could be handled in other than an
upright position to be placed into a
strong rigid outer package. ICAO
adopted this provision to ensure that
small vehicles, particularly those
powered by lithium batteries are
adequately protected from damage
during transport. PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraphs (c) and (d) consistent
with this requirement. While this
international requirement is specific to
air transport, we believe there is benefit
to applying this requirement for
transportation by all transport modes.
Section 173.221
Section 173.221 prescribes the
packaging requirements for Polymeric
beads (or granules), expandable,
evolving flammable vapor. PHMSA
proposes to add a procedure for
declassification of polymeric beads,
expandable. This exception is proposed
to differentiate between polymeric
beads made of materials that may
present a risk for formation of a
flammable atmosphere in a package and
those that do not. When it can be
demonstrated that no flammable vapor,
resulting in a flammable atmosphere, is
evolved by utilizing test U1—the test
method for substances liable to evolve
flammable vapors—of part III, subsection 38.4.4 of the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria, polymeric beads,
expandable need not be classed as Class
9 (UN 2211).
Section 173.225
Section 173.225 prescribes packaging
requirements and other provisions for
organic peroxides. Consistent with the
UN Model Regulations, PHMSA
proposes to revise the Organic Peroxide
Table in paragraph (c) by amending the
entries for: ‘‘Dibenzoyl peroxide,’’ ‘‘tertButyl cumyl peroxide,’’ ‘‘Dicetyl
peroxydicarbonate,’’ and ‘‘tert-Butyl
peroxy-3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate.’’ We
propose to revise the Organic Peroxide
IBC Table in paragraph (e) to maintain
alignment with the UN Model
Regulations by adding new entries for
‘‘tert-Butyl cumyl peroxide’’ and

stable dispersion, in water.’’ We are
republishing the complete Organic
Peroxide and Organic Peroxide IBC
tables to ensure the proposed revisions
are correctly inserted and adding the
missing ‘‘UN’’ code to several
identification numbers assigned to
existing entries in the Organic Peroxide
Table.
Section 173.301b
Section 173.301b contains additional
general requirements for shipment of
UN pressure receptacles. PHMSA
proposes to amend paragraph (a)(2) to
include the most recent ISO standard for
UN pressure receptacles and valve
materials for non-metallic materials in
ISO 11114–2:2013. Additionally, we
propose to amend paragraph (c)(1) to
include the most recent ISO standard on
cylinder valves ISO 10297:2014. This
paragraph also contains end dates for
when the manufacture of cylinders and
service equipment is no longer
authorized in accordance with the
outdated ISO standard. Finally, we
propose to amend § 173.301b(g) to
amend a reference to marking
requirements for composite cylinders
used for underwater applications. The
current reference to the ‘‘UW’’ marking
in § 173.301b(g) direct readers to
§ 178.71(o)(17). The correct reference for
the ‘‘UW marking is § 178.71(q)(18). We
propose to make this editorial change in
this NPRM.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Section 173.303
Section 173.303 prescribes
requirements for charging of cylinders
with compressed gas in solution
(acetylene). PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (f)(1) to require UN cylinders
for acetylene use to comply with the
current ISO standard ISO 3807:2013.
This paragraph also contains end dates
for when the manufacture of cylinders
and service equipment is no longer
authorized in accordance with the
outdated ISO standard.
Section 173.304b
Section 173.304b prescribes filling
requirements for liquefied gases in UN
pressure receptacles. The UN Model
Regulations amended packing
instruction P200 by adding
requirements for liquefied gases charged
with compressed gases. In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to amend § 173.304b
specifically by adding a new paragraph
(b)(5) to include filling limits when a
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
UN cylinder filled with a liquefied gas
is charged with a compressed gas. We
are not proposing similar filling limits
for DOT specification cylinders filled
with a liquefied gas and charged with a
compressed gas, as we feel the situation
is adequately addressed by the
requirements found in § 173.301(a)(8).
Section 173.310
Section 173.310 provides the
transport conditions for certain
specially designed radiation detectors
containing a Division 2.2 (Nonflammable) gas. The 19th Revised
Edition of the UN Model Regulations
added a new special provision 378
applicable to radiation detectors
containing certain Division 2.2 gases.
Special provision 378 outlines
conditions for the use of a nonspecification pressure receptacle and
strong outer packaging requirements. As
§ 173.310 currently prescribes similar
transport conditions for radiation
detectors containing Division 2.2 gases,
we are not proposing to add a new
special provision.
Consistent with special provision 378
of the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA
proposes the following revisions to the
transport conditions in § 173.310: [1] In
the section header, clarify that Division
2.2 gases must be in non-refillable
cylinders; [2] in (b), increase the
maximum design pressure from 4.83
MPa (700 psig) to 5.00 MPa (725 psig)
and increase the capacity from 355 fluid
ounces (641 cubic inches) to 405 fluid
ounces (731 cubic inches); [3] in new
paragraph (d), require specific
emergency response information to
accompany each shipment and be
available from the associated emergency
response telephone number; [4] in new
paragraph (e), require that transport in
accordance with this section be noted
on the shipping paper; and [5] in new
paragraph (f), except radiation detectors,
including detectors in radiation
detection systems, containing less than
1.69 fluid ounces (50 ml) capacity, from
the requirements of the subchapter if
they conform to (a) through (d) of this
section.
Section 173.335
Section 173.335 contains
requirements for cylinders filled with
chemicals under pressure. The 19th
Revised Edition of the UN
Recommendations includes new
instructions in P200 and P206 on how
to calculate the filling ratio and test
pressure when a liquid phase of a fluid
is charged with a compressed gas.
PHMSA proposes to revise the
requirements of § 173.335 for chemical
under pressure n.o.s. to include a
PO 00000
Frm 00026

reference to § 173.304b, which specifies
additional requirements for liquefied
compressed gases in UN pressure
receptacles. In another proposed
amendment in this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to amend § 173.304b
specifically by adding a new paragraph
(b)(5) to include these filling and test
pressure requirements consistent with
the UN Recommendations.
Part 175
Section 175.10
Section 175.10 specifies the
conditions for which passengers, crew
members, or an operator may carry
hazardous materials aboard an aircraft.
Paragraph (a)(7) permits the carriage of
medical or clinical mercury
thermometers, when carried in a
protective case in carry-on or checked
baggage. Consistent with revisions to the
ICAO Technical Instructions, in this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise
paragraph (a)(7) by limiting
thermometers containing mercury to
checked baggage only. This revision was
based on a proposal submitted to the
ICAO DGP/25 meeting that highlighted
two incidents involving leakage of
mercury from thermometers carried in
the cabin and addressed the cost and
difficult process of cleaning a spill. The
proposal noted that digital
thermometers had become widely
available, and as such, there was no
longer a need to allow mercury
thermometers in the cabin or cockpit.
The Panel discussed whether mercury
thermometers should also be banned
from checked baggage but agreed to
retain the provision for checked baggage
on the basis that there were parts of the
world where their use was more
prevalent.
Section 175.25
Section 175.25 prescribes the
notification that operators must provide
to passengers regarding restrictions on
the types of hazardous material they
may or may not carry aboard an aircraft
on their person or in checked or carryon baggage. Passenger notification of
hazardous materials restrictions
addresses the potential risks that
passengers can introduce on board
aircraft. PHMSA’s predecessor, the
Materials Transportation Bureau,
introduced passenger notification
requirements in 1980 [Docket No. HM–
166B; 45 FR 13087]. Although this
section had been previously amended to
account for ticket purchase or check-in
via the Internet, new technological
innovations have continued to outpace
these provisions. Notwithstanding the
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
several rounds of revisions, the rule
remains unduly prescriptive.
The 2017–2018 ICAO Technical
Instructions has removed prescriptive
requirements concerning how the
information concerning dangerous
goods that passengers are forbidden to
transport are required to be conveyed to
passengers by removing references to
‘‘prominently displayed’’ and ‘‘in
sufficient numbers.’’ Additional ICAO
Technical Instructions changes include
removal of prescriptive requirements
that the information be in ‘‘text or
pictorial form’’ when checking in
remotely, or ‘‘pictorial form’’ when not
checking in remotely. ICAO’s decision
to move to a performance-based
requirement will account for changes in
technology as well as the unique
characteristics of some air carrier
operations. ICAO noted that these
provisions lagged behind the latest
technology and could sometimes hinder
the effectiveness and efficiency of
notifying passengers about hazardous
materials. To account for the utilization
of different technologies as well as air
carrier specific differences in operating
or business practices, ICAO adopted
changes that require air carriers to
describe their procedures for informing
passengers about dangerous goods in
their operations manual and/or other
appropriate manuals.
PHMSA agrees with this approach
and proposes to harmonize with the
amendments made to the ICAO
Technical Instructions part 7; 5.1.
Harmonization is appropriate not only
to account for evolving technologies or
air carrier specific conditions, but also
because we believe that this amendment
will result in a more effective
notification to passengers.
Under the proposed revisions to
§ 175.25, in accordance with 14 CFR
parts 121 and 135, air carriers operating
under 14 CFR parts 121 or 135 will need
to describe in an operations manual
and/or other appropriate manuals in
accordance with the applicable
provisions of 14 CFR. The manual(s)
will be required to provide procedures
and information necessary to allow
personnel to implement and maintain
their air carrier’s specific passenger
notification system. Aside from the
manual provisions, all persons engaging
in for hire air transportation of
passengers will continue to be subject to
§ 175.25.
Section 175.33
Section 175.33 establishes
requirements for shipping papers and
for the notification of the pilot-incommand when hazardous materials are
transported by aircraft. The pilot
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
notification requirements of part
7;4.1.1.1 of the ICAO Technical
Instructions include an exception for
consumer commodities (ID8000) to
allow for the average gross mass of the
packages to be shown instead of the
actual gross mass of each individual
package. This exception is limited to
consumer commodities offered to the
operator by the shipper in a unit load
device (ULD). Consistent with the ICAO
Technical Instructions packing
instruction applicable to consumer
commodities (PI Y963), which permits
the shipper to show on the shipping
paper either the actual gross mass of
each package or the average gross mass
of all packages in the consignment, the
notification to the pilot-in-command
requirement for consumer commodities
was revised to remove the exception
applicability to ULDs only. This
exception did not previously exist
under the HMR. In this NPRM, PHMSA
proposes to revise § 175.33(a)(3) by
adding the text ‘‘For consumer
commodities, the information provided
may be either the gross mass of each
package or the average gross mass of the
packages as shown on the shipping
paper.’’ This revision would align the
consumer commodity notification of the
pilot-in-command requirements in the
HMR with the ICAO Technical
Instructions.
Section 175.900
Section 175.900 prescribes the
handling requirements for air carriers
that transport dry ice. Consistent with
the ICAO Technical Instructions,
PHMSA proposes to remove the term
‘‘other type of pallet’’ with regard to
packages containing dry ice prepared by
a single shipper. See ‘‘Section 173.217’’
of this rulemaking for a detailed
discussion of the proposed revision.
Part 176
Section 176.83
Section 176.83 prescribes segregation
requirements applicable to all cargo
spaces on all types of vessels and to all
cargo transport units. Paragraph (a)(4)(ii)
has several groups of hazardous
materials of different classes, which
comprise a group of substances that do
not react dangerously with each other
and that are excepted from the
segregation requirements of § 176.83.
Consistent with changes made in
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes to add a new group of
hazardous materials that do not react
dangerously with each other to this
paragraph. The following materials are
proposed for new paragraph (a)(4)(ii)(C);
‘‘UN 3391, Organometallic substance,
PO 00000

substance, solid, pyrophoric, waterreactive’’; ‘‘UN 3394, Organometallic
substance, liquid, pyrophoric, waterreactive’’; ‘‘UN 3395, Organometallic
substance, solid, water-reactive’’; ‘‘UN
3396, Organometallic substance, solid,
water-reactive, flammable’’; ‘‘UN 3397,
Organometallic substance, solid, waterreactive, self-heating’’; ‘‘UN 3398,
Organometallic substance, liquid, waterreactive’’; ‘‘UN 3399, Organometallic
substance, liquid, water-reactive,
flammable’’; and ‘‘UN 3400,
Organometallic substance, solid, selfheating.’’
Section 176.84
Section 176.84 prescribes the
meanings and requirements for
numbered or alpha-numeric stowage
provisions for vessel shipments listed in
column (10B) of the § 172.101 HMT.
The provisions in § 176.84 are broken
down into general stowage provisions,
which are defined in the ‘‘table of
provisions’’ in paragraph (b), and the
stowage provisions applicable to vessel
shipments of Class 1 explosives, which
are defined in the table to paragraph
(c)(2). PHMSA proposes to create a new
stowage provision 149 and assign it to
the new UN 3528 engines or machinery
powered by internal combustion engine
flammable liquid entry. This new
stowage provision will require engines
or machinery containing fuels with a
flash point equal or greater than 23 °C
(73.4 °F) to be stowed in accordance
with the stowage requirements of
stowage Category A. Engines and
machinery containing fuels with a flash
point less than 23 °C (73.4 °F) are
required to comply with the
requirements of stowage Category E.
Additionally, consistent with
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes to create a new
stowage provision 150 to replace
existing stowage provision 129 for ‘‘UN
3323, Radioactive material, low specific
activity (LSA–III) non fissile or fissile
excepted.’’ This proposed new stowage
provision requires that any material that
is classified as UN 3323, which is either
uranium metal pyrophoric or thorium
metal pyrophoric, be stowed in
accordance with stowage Category D
requirements.
Section 176.905
Section 176.905 prescribes
transportation requirements and
exceptions for vessel transportation of
motor vehicles and mechanical
equipment. PHMSA proposes to revise
§ 176.905 to update the transport
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
61768
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
requirements and exceptions for
vehicles transported by vessel. These
changes are necessary to remove
references to machinery (see proposed
§ 176.906) and to maintain consistency
with changes made in Amendment 38–
16 of the IMDG Code.
The following changes are proposed
to the transport requirements for
vehicles transported by vessel: [1] In
paragraph (a)(2) for flammable liquid
powered vehicles, the requirement that
flammable liquid must not exceed 250
L (66 gal) unless otherwise approved by
the Associate Administrator; [2] in
paragraph (a)(4), the authorization to
transport vehicles containing prototype
or low production run batteries securely
installed in vehicles; [3] also in
paragraph (a)(4), the requirement that
damaged or defective lithium batteries
must be removed and transported in
accordance with § 173.185(f); and [4] in
paragraph (i)(1)(i), the inclusion of text
to ensure lithium batteries in vehicles
stowed in a hold or compartment
designated by the administration of the
country in which the vessel is registered
as specially designed and approved for
vehicles have lithium batteries that have
successfully passed the tests found in
the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria
(except for prototypes and low
production runs).
Section 176.906
Consistent with changes made in
Amendment 38–16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes the creation of a new
section § 176.906 to prescribe
transportation requirements for engines
and machinery. Requirements found in
paragraphs (a)–(h) are identical to
existing requirements for engines and
machinery contained in § 176.905, and
their reproduction in this section is
made necessary by the splitting of the
provisions for engines/machinery and
vehicles. Paragraph (i) contains
exceptions that are divided into two
separate categories: [1] Engines and
machinery meeting one of the
conditions provided in (i)(1), which are
not subject to the requirements of
subchapter C of the HMR; and [2]
engines and machinery not meeting the
conditions provided in (i)(1), which are
subject to the requirements found in
(i)(2) that prescribe general conditions
for transport and varying degrees of
hazard communication required for
engines and machinery based on the
actual fuel contents and capacity of the
engine or machinery.
A summary of the proposed hazard
communication requirements for vessel
transportation of engines and machinery
that are not empty of fuel based on fuel
content and capacity are provided in
Tables 8 and 9. The additional hazard
communication requirements column
indicates requirements that would differ
from existing hazard communication
requirements for engines or machinery.

Section 178.71
Section 178.71 prescribes
specifications for UN pressure
receptacles. Consistent with the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraphs (d)(2), (h), (k)(2), and
(l)(1) to reflect the adoption of the latest
ISO standards for the design,
construction, and testing of gas
cylinders and their associated service
equipment. In paragraph (l)(1), we
propose to require that composite
cylinders be designed for a design life
of not less than 15 years, as well as that
composite cylinders and tubes with a
design life longer than 15 years must not

approval and must specify inspections
and tests to demonstrate that cylinders
manufactured accordingly remain safe
to the end of their design life. The
service life test program and the results
must be approved by the competent
authority of the country of approval that
is responsible for the initial approval of
the cylinder design. The service life of
a composite cylinder or tube must not
be extended beyond its initial approved
design life. These paragraphs also
contain proposed end dates for when
the manufacture of cylinders and
service equipment is no longer
authorized in accordance with the
outdated ISO standard.
Additionally, consistent with the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
revise paragraph (o)(2) to adopt the
current ISO standard relating to material

compatibility and to add paragraph
(g)(4) to adopt the current ISO standard
relating to design, construction, and
testing of stainless steel cylinders with
an Rm value of less than 1,100 MPa.
Finally, we propose to revise
paragraphs (q) and (r) to indicate the
required markings for composite
cylinders and tubes with a limited
design life of 15 years or for cylinders
and tubes with a design life greater than
15 years, or a non-limited design life.
Section 178.75
Section 178.75 contains specifications
for Multiple-element gas containers
(MEGCs). Consistent with the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
renumber existing paragraph (d)(3)(iv)
as (d)(3)(v) and to add a new paragraph
(d)(3)(iv) to incorporate ISO 9809–

Section 178.1015
Section 178.1015 prescribes general
standards for the use of flexible bulk
containers (FBCs). Consistent with
changes to the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph (f)
to require that FBCs be fitted with a vent
that is designed to prevent the ingress
of water in situations where a dangerous
accumulation of gases may develop
absent such a vent. It is our
understanding that only one particular
material authorized for transportation in
FBCs—UN3378, Sodium carbonate
peroxyhydrate—is known to decompose
causing a dangerous accumulation of
gas.
Part 180
Section 180.205
Section 180.205 outlines general
requirements for requalification of
specification cylinders. PHMSA
proposes an amendment to paragraph
(c) to require that Transport Canada
cylinders be requalified and marked in
accordance with the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations. This amendment is
necessary to ensure that RIN holders
utilize the TDG Regulations when
requalifying and marking Transport
Canada cylinders.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Section 180.207
Section 180.207 prescribes
requirements for requalification of UN
pressure receptacles. Consistent with
changes to the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph
(d)(3) to incorporate ISO 10462:2013
concerning requalification of dissolved
acetylene cylinders. This paragraph also
includes an authorization to requalify
acetylene cylinders in accordance with
the current ISO standard until December
31, 2018.
Section 180.413
Section 180.413 provides the
requirements for the repair,
modification, stretching, rebarrelling, or
mounting of specification cargo tanks.
Currently, § 180.413(a)(1) requires that
each repair of a specification cargo tank
must be performed by a repair facility
holding a valid National Board
Certificate of Authorization for use of
the National Board ‘‘R’’ stamp and must
be made in accordance with the edition
of the National Board Inspection Code
in effect at the time the work is
performed. ‘‘Repair’’ is defined in
§ 180.403 as any welding on a cargo
tank wall done to return a cargo tank or
a cargo tank motor vehicle to its original
design and construction specification,
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
or to a condition prescribed for a later
equivalent specification in effect at the
time of the repair. As discussed in the
‘‘Harmonization Proposals in this
NPRM’’ section, stakeholders
participating in the U.S.-Canada RCC
identified this requirement as being
burdensome to United States carriers
who also operate in Canada. In
accordance with the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations, a facility in Canada
can perform a repair on a specification
cargo tank if it holds either a valid
National Board Certificate of
Authorization for use of the National
Board ‘‘R’’ stamp or a valid Certificate
of Authorization from a provincial
pressure vessel jurisdiction for repair.
The latter authorization becomes
problematic for United States carriers
requiring the repair of a DOT
specification cargo tank while in
Canada. Section 180.413 currently only
authorizes the repair of a DOT
specification cargo tank by a facility
holding a valid National Board
Certificate of Authorization for use of
the National Board ‘‘R’’ stamp. If a DOT
specification cargo tank is repaired in
Canada at a facility holding a Certificate
of Authorization from a provincial
pressure vessel jurisdiction for repair
and not a National Board Certificate of
Authorization for use of the National
Board ‘‘R’’ stamp, the DOT specification
of the cargo tank is placed in jeopardy.
Based on this input from RCC
stakeholders, PHMSA conducted a
comparison of the HMR requirements
for the repair of specification cargo
tanks and the corresponding
requirements of the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations. PHMSA finds that the
requirements for the repair of a
specification cargo tank conducted in
accordance with the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations by a facility in Canada
holding a valid Certificate of
Authorization from a provincial
pressure vessel jurisdiction for repair
provides for at least an equivalent level
of safety as those provided by the HMR.
Further, the Transport Canada TDG
Regulations authorize the repair of TC
specification cargo tanks by facilities in
the U.S. that are registered in
accordance with part 107 subpart F.
Accordingly, PHMSA proposes to
expand the authorization for the repair
of DOT specification cargo tanks by
revising § 180.413(a)(1). Specifically,
PHMSA proposes to add a new
subparagraph (iii) authorizing a repair,
as defined in § 180.403, of a DOT
specification cargo tank used for the
transportation of hazardous materials in
the United States performed by a facility
in Canada in accordance with the
Transport Canada TDG Regulations,
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702

provided the facility holds a valid
Certificate of Authorization from a
provincial pressure vessel jurisdiction
for repair; the facility is registered in
accordance with the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations to repair the
corresponding TC specification; and all
repairs are performed using the quality
control procedures used to obtain the
Certificate of Authorization.
PHMSA also proposes an incidental
revision to § 180.413(b) to except
facilities in Canada that perform a repair
in accordance with the proposed
§ 180.413(a)(1)(iii) from the requirement
that each repair of a cargo tank
involving welding on the shell or head
must be certified by a Registered
Inspector. The Transport Canada TDG
Regulations provide requirements for
the oversight of welding repairs and do
not use the term ‘‘Registered Inspector.’’
These proposed provisions would not
place any additional financial or
reporting burden on U.S. companies.
Rather, the enhanced regulatory
reciprocity between the United States
and Canada as a result of these
provisions would provide the
companies with additional flexibility
and cost savings due to necessary
opportunities for obtaining repairs to
DOT specification cargo tanks in
Canada.
See the review of § 107.502 for the
discussion of a related proposal.
Section 180.605
Section 180.605 prescribes
requirements for the qualification of
portable tanks. Consistent with the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes an
amendment to paragraph (g)(1) to
require as a part of internal and external
examination that the wall thickness
must be verified by appropriate
measurement if this inspection indicates
a reduction of wall thickness. This
proposed amendment would require the
inspector to verify that the shell
thickness is equal to or greater than the
minimum shell thickness indicated on
the portable tanks metal plate (see
§ 178.274(i)(1)).
VII. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This
Rulemaking
This proposed rule is published under
the statutory authority of Federal
hazardous materials transportation law
(49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.). Section 5103(b)
of Federal hazmat law authorizes the
Secretary of Transportation to prescribe
regulations for the safe transportation,
including security, of hazardous
materials in intrastate, interstate, and
foreign commerce. This proposed rule
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
61770
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
amends regulations to maintain
alignment with international standards
by incorporating various amendments,
including changes to proper shipping
names, hazard classes, packing groups,
special provisions, packaging
authorizations, air transport quantity
limitations and vessel stowage
requirements. To this end, the proposed
rule amends the HMR to more fully
align with the biennial updates of the
UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code,
and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Harmonization serves to facilitate
international commerce, while also
promoting the safety of people,
property, and the environment by
reducing the potential for confusion and
misunderstanding that could result if
shippers and transporters were required
to comply with two or more conflicting
sets of regulatory requirements. While
the intent of this rulemaking is to align
the HMR with international standards,
we review and consider each
amendment based on its own merit, on
its overall impact on transportation
safety, and on the economic
implications associated with its
adoption into the HMR. Our goal is to
harmonize internationally without
sacrificing the current HMR level of
safety or imposing undue burdens on
the regulated community. Thus, as
explained in the corresponding sections
above, we are not proposing
harmonization with certain specific
provisions of the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the
ICAO Technical Instructions. Moreover,
we are maintaining a number of current
exceptions for domestic transportation
that should minimize the compliance
burden on the regulated community.
Additionally, the following external
agencies were consulted in the
development of this rule: Federal
Aviation Administration, Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, Federal
Railroad Administration, U.S. Coast
Guard.
Section 49 U.S.C. 5120(b) of Federal
hazmat law authorizes the Secretary to
ensure that, to the extent practicable,
regulations governing the transportation
of hazardous materials in commerce are
consistent with standards adopted by
international authorities. This rule
proposes to amend the HMR to maintain
alignment with international standards
by incorporating various amendments to
facilitate the transport of hazardous
material in international commerce. To
this end, as discussed in detail above,
PHMSA proposes to incorporate
changes into the HMR based on the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, Amendment 38–16 to the
IMDG Code, and the 2017–2018 Edition
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
of the ICAO Technical Instructions,
which become effective January 1, 2017.
The large volume of hazardous materials
transported in international commerce
warrants the harmonization of domestic
and international requirements to the
greatest extent possible.
B. Executive Order 12866, Executive
Order 13563, and DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures
This notice is not considered a
significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866
(‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review’’)
and, therefore, was not reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget. This
notice is not considered a significant
rule under the Regulatory Policies and
Procedures of the Department of
Transportation (44 FR 11034).
Additionally, Executive Order 13563
(‘‘Improving Regulation and Regulatory
Review’’) supplements and reaffirms
Executive Order 12866, 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.
Benefits to Harmonization
General Harmonization Benefit: In an
earlier regulatory evaluation,10 PHMSA
estimated a proxy for benefits of
harmonization of the HMR with
international standards of $87.9 million.
We estimated this number by
multiplying a hazard communication
cost per dollar of hazardous materials
output ($0.001) by the value of
hazardous materials involved in
international trade, as estimated by the
proportion of trade (the total of gross
imports and gross exports) in the fuels
and lubricants, chemicals, and
medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical
products industries ($879 billion in
2013) 11 that are hazardous products
(approximately 10 percent).
For estimating benefits of this
proposed rule, we follow a nearly
identical approach, while
acknowledging there is an inherent
imprecision of benefits, and update the
data and assumptions where possible.
Unlike in the last regulatory evaluation,
2012 Commodity Flow Survey (CFS)
data on hazardous materials is now
available. According to the 2012 CFS,
10 HM–215M:
Hazardous Materials:
Harmonization with International Standards (RRR),
Final Rule, 80 FR 1075, January 8, 2015.

$13,852,143 million worth of
commodities were transported in the
U.S. in 2012, of which $2,334,425
million worth were hazardous (or 16.9
percent).12
However, we acknowledge that the
estimated 16.9 percent proportion of
total shipment values classed as
hazardous materials may have had a
high-side bias due to the variety of
different classes of products classified
as hazardous. The percentage of
shipments properly classified as
hazardous—particularly for medicinal/
dental/pharmaceutical products—is
likely lower, which for the purpose of
this analysis we assume to be 10
percent.
We update our estimate of value of
hazardous materials involved in
international trade by using U.S. trade
in goods seasonally adjusted, Censusbased total gross imports, and gross
exports in the fuels and lubricants,
chemicals, and medicinal/dental/
pharmaceutical products industries for
2015, which is the most recent year
available.
• Gross imports: $451.8 billion
(rounded).
Æ Fuels and lubricants: $198.217
billion.
Æ Chemicals: $73.304 billion.
Æ Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical
products: $180.280 billion.
• Gross exports: $281.6 billion
(rounded).
Æ Fuels and lubricants: $115.013
billion.
Æ Chemicals: $111.492 billion.
Æ Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical
products: $55.046 billion.
• Gross imports plus gross exports:
$733.4 billion.13
Multiplying this $733.4 billion figure
by the estimated proportion of annual
trade in these three industries that are
hazardous products (10 percent) by the
average hazard communication cost per
dollar of hazardous materials produced
in the United States ($0.001) results in
an estimate of benefits from general
harmonization of about $73.3 million
annually, rounded.
If the HMR are not harmonized with
international standards, we estimate
that it will cost U.S. companies an
additional $73.3 million per year to
comply with both the domestic and
international standards. Harmonizing
the HMR with the international

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
standards, however, will avert these
$73.3 million in additional costs,
making them the primary benefit
attributable to this rulemaking.
RCC Initiatives: PHMSA believes that
recognition under the HMR of Transport
Canada cylinders, equivalency
certificates, and cargo tanks would not
result in any significant costs but would
instead provide benefits in flexibility to
cylinder users, shipments of hazardous
materials made under an equivalency
certificate to the U.S., and certain U.S.based cargo tank motor vehicle
operators requiring repairs while in
Canada. We do not believe there is
currently a basis for reliably estimating
quantitatively the benefits of the
cylinder and equivalency certificate
provisions of this proposed rule.
However, we welcome and specifically
solicit data available to commenters to
more accurately estimate benefits
quantitatively. With regard to all three
RCC proposed amendments, PHMSA
believes that aligning regulatory
approaches between Canada and the
United States can spur economic growth
and job creation in both nations,
facilitate trade, and still maintain
appropriate safety standards.
Preliminary analysis indicates that the
total annual benefit of the cargo tank
RCC provisions proposed in this
rulemaking would be $6,555,234 per
year (for the high estimate of U.S.-made
cargo tanks affected), $779,337 per year
(for the middle estimate), or $693,804
per year (for the low estimate). Please
see the Regulatory Impact Analysis
(RIA) for this rulemaking action for a
detailed discussion of the benefits of
recognizing cargo tank repairs made in
Canadian facilities.
Costs of Harmonization
Please see the RIA for this
rulemaking—a copy of which has been
placed in the docket—for detailed
analysis of the costs of various
amendments proposed in this NPRM.
We provide below a summary of cost
estimates for several of the larger cost
proposals.
Incorporation by Reference: PHMSA
anticipates that the primary cost of
updating references incorporated in the
HMR to the most recent international
hazardous material standards will be the
purchase of updated copies to be
incorporated by reference. These costs
will be borne by offerors, package
manufacturers, and transporters of
hazardous materials if this rulemaking
were finalized.
It is unknown how many individuals
and firms involved in shipping
hazardous materials will purchase
copies of these international standards
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
as a result of finalizing this rulemaking.
We take a conservative approach to
estimating such a figure by using as a
proxy the number of shippers, carriers,
or other offerors or transporters of
hazardous materials in commerce with
a PHMSA registration expiring before
2019. Currently, PHMSA’s registration
database indicates 38,070 registrants as
of March 18, 2016.14 Of these, 31,103
(approximately 82 percent) are small
businesses as defined by the U.S. Small
Business Administration. Further,
31,765 registrants (approximately 83
percent) indicated that they offer or
transport hazardous materials solely by
highway method.
If we assume (for conservative
estimation purposes) that all registrants
will purchase copies of the ICAO and
IMDG publications, this indicates an
estimated cost of $19.3 million
(rounded, $508.70 cost of ICAO and
IMDG publications × 38,070 registrants).
However, we further assume that the
two publications included in the $19.3
cost (ICAO Technical Instructions (for
air) and IMDG Code (by vessel)) will not
apply to such registrants who indicated
that they offer or transport in commerce
hazardous materials only via highway.
Therefore, costs for the 31,765 highwayonly registrants would be zero. To
counterbalance a registrant purchasing
more than one copy, we conservatively
assume all other registrants—while
acknowledging that, in fact, some will
purchase both standards copies and
some will purchase none—will
purchase updated copies of all
standards publications listed here,
indicating a rounded cost of $3.2
million ($508.70 × 6,305 registrants
[38,070 total registrants ¥ 31,765
highway-only registrants]).
All of the ISO standards incorporated
will not be purchased by the majority of
shippers and carriers and, thus, will
likely only impact a small subset of the
regulated community. Further, we
assume that many companies will
purchase multiple copies of the ISO
codes, rather than only one copy.
Manufacturers of pressure receptacles
impacted by the ISO codes are included
in the North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) 332420

receptacles impacted by the ISO codes
are included in NAICS 325120
‘‘Industrial Gas Manufacturing,’’ or
more generally in NAICS 325 ‘‘Chemical
Manufacturing.’’ Testers and requalifiers
of pressure receptacles are included in
NAICS 541380 ‘‘Testing Laboratories,’’
or more generally in NAICS 541
‘‘Professional, Scientific, and Technical
Services.’’ The more conservative, allencompassing three-digit NAICS
industries are used to estimate impacted
entities, as each entity may purchase
more than one copy of a publication.
The PHMSA registration database has
834 registrants in NAICS 332; 3,335
registrants in NAICS 325; and 415
registrants in NAICS 541, for a total of
4,584 impacted registrants. It costs each
impacted registrant $1,853 to purchase
the ISO standards, or $8.5 million total
(rounded, 4,584 impacted registrants ×
$1,853 cost per registrant).
It will cost $3.2 million to purchase
the ICAO and IMDG publications and
$8.5 million to purchasing the ISO
publications, giving a total one-time cost
of $11.7 million. We do not believe we
have sufficient data to estimate the
precise number of registrants. However,
we use one copy per impacted registrant
as a reasonably conservative estimate on
costs of the proposed rulemaking. It
should also be noted that several of the
companies purchasing the international
standards may serve international
markets and would have purchased
these publications even in the absence
of this rulemaking. Therefore, costs due
to this proposed rule are likely lower
than these estimates.
Lithium Battery Hazard
Communication: PHMSA anticipates
that incorporating a new battery label in
place of the existing label and requiring
a new lithium battery label in place of
the existing label will be cost neutral.
We anticipate that the price of the new
label will be similar to the price of
existing labels. The proposed
amendment provides a phase-in period
to December 2018, allowing shippers
and carriers of the impacted lithium
battery shipments a sufficient transition
period to use the new label.
PHMSA anticipates that incorporating
a new standard lithium battery mark
across all modes will provide consistent
hazard communication, reduce training
costs, and facilitate intermodal
movements. Expanding the scope of
packages requiring application of the
new lithium battery mark for small
shipments of lithium batteries will
provide benefits pertaining to better
identification of lithium battery
shipments, but it will likely involve
some amount of increased compliance
cost. As with the proposed labeling
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM

61772
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
revisions, PHMSA would provide a
phase-in period to December 2018,
allowing shippers and carriers of the
impacted lithium battery shipments a
sufficient transition period to use the
new mark.
PHMSA anticipates that eliminating
additional document requirements for
shipments of small lithium batteries
will likely provide economic benefits
and cost savings to shippers.
However, PHMSA anticipates the
provision increasing the number of
packages containing lithium batteries
installed in equipment that have to be
marked with the lithium battery mark
will increase compliance costs. The
proposals in this NPRM would apply
the lithium battery mark to an expanded
number of lithium batteries installed in
equipment (LBIIE) packages. Currently
packages that contain ‘‘no more than
four lithium cells or two lithium
batteries installed in equipment’’ are not
subject to marking requirements
regardless of how many packages are in
a single shipment. In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to require each
package that contains lithium batteries
installed in equipment to display the
lithium battery marking when there are
more than two packages in the
consignment.
We assume that U.S. manufacturers of
certain equipment containing lithium
batteries and wholesalers of LBIIE that
supply retailers with consignments
containing more than two packages of
LBIIE will be most impacted by the
proposed provision.15 We anticipate the
provisions of this proposed change to
impact U.S.-based manufacturers,
wholesalers, and certain retailers of
lithium batteries and equipment
containing lithium batteries. PHMSA
specifically solicits comment on the
types and numbers of entities that are to
be impacted by this proposed change.
The total domestic manufacturer and
wholesaler marking costs as illustrated
in the RIA in the docket for this
rulemaking approximates the upper
bound annual cost of the provision to be
about $4.9 million ($838,456 + $7,665 +
$4.0 million).16 We anticipate that the
cost will be substantially lower because
many domestic manufacturers and
shippers may already label their LBIIE
15 We assume that most retailers selling to end
users are likely not impacted, as we assume that
they primarily ship single units of LBIIE for the
majority of their consignments, which would not
require marking due to the two or few packages per
consignment exception. However, we solicit
comment on whether this assumption is
appropriate and welcome data confirming or
refuting this assumption.
16 Because of the 2-year transition period, these
costs would not be encountered until the third year
after finalizing the rule.

packages with a current lithium battery
label (regardless if required by the
HMR); not all of these shippers would
necessarily ship LBIIE with more than
two packages per shipment (for which
shipments would be excepted from the
lithium battery marking requirements of
this provision); and transitioning to the
new lithium battery mark may have
minimal impact.
Net Benefit
Based on the discussions of benefits
and costs provided above, PHMSA
estimates the net benefit associated with
the rulemaking to be $63.2 million–69
million in the first year after publication
and $70 million–75.8 million in the
second year after publication. Please see
the complete RIA for a more detailed
analysis of the costs and benefits of this
proposed rule.
C. Executive Order 13132
This proposed rule has been analyzed
in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13132 (‘‘Federalism’’). It preempts State,
local, and Indian tribe requirements but
does not propose any regulation that has
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 hazmat law, 49 U.S.C.
5101–5128, contains an express
preemption provision (49 U.S.C.
5125(b)) that preempts State, local, and
Indian tribe requirements on certain
covered subjects, as follows:
(1) The designation, description, and
classification of hazardous material;
(2) The packing, repacking, handling,
labeling, marking, and placarding of
hazardous material;
(3) The preparation, execution, and
use of shipping documents related to
hazardous material 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; and
(5) The design, manufacture,
fabrication, inspection, marking,
maintenance, recondition, repair, or
testing of a packaging or container
represented, marked, certified, or sold
as qualified for use in transporting
hazardous material in commerce.
This proposed rule addresses covered
subject items (1), (2), (3), (4), and (5)
above and preempts State, local, and
Indian tribe requirements not meeting

the ‘‘substantively the same’’ standard.
This proposed rule is necessary to
incorporate changes adopted in
international standards, effective
January 1, 2017. If the proposed changes
are not adopted in the HMR, U.S.
companies—including numerous small
entities competing in foreign markets—
would be at an economic disadvantage
because of their need to comply with a
dual system of regulations. The changes
in this proposed rulemaking are
intended to avoid this result. Federal
hazmat law provides at 49 U.S.C.
5125(b)(2) that, if DOT issues a
regulation concerning any of the
covered 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 two years after the date of issuance.
PHMSA proposes the effective date of
Federal preemption be 90 days from
publication of a final rule in this matter.
D. Executive Order 13175
This proposed rule was analyzed in
accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in Executive Order
13175 (‘‘Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments’’).
Because this proposed rule does not
have tribal implications, does not
impose substantial direct compliance
costs, and is required by statute, 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.
This proposed rule facilitates the
transportation of hazardous materials in
international commerce by providing
consistency with international
standards. It applies to offerors and
carriers of hazardous materials, some of
whom are small entities, such as
chemical manufacturers, users and
suppliers, packaging manufacturers,
distributors, and training companies. As
previously discussed under ‘‘Executive
Order 12866,’’ the majority of
amendments in this proposed rule
should result in cost savings and ease
the regulatory compliance burden for
shippers engaged in domestic and
international commerce, including
trans-border shipments within North
America.

sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Many companies will realize
economic benefits as a result of these
amendments. Additionally, the changes
effected by this NPRM will relieve U.S.
companies, including small entities
competing in foreign markets, from the
burden of complying with a dual system
of regulations. Therefore, we certify that
these amendments will not, if
promulgated, have a significant
economic impact on a substantial
number of small entities.
This proposed rule has been
developed in accordance with Executive
Order 13272 (‘‘Proper Consideration of
Small Entities in Agency Rulemaking’’)
and DOT’s procedures and policies to
promote compliance with the
Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure that
potential impacts of draft rules on small
entities are properly considered.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
PHMSA currently has approved
information collections under Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Control
Number 2137–0557, ‘‘Approvals for
Hazardous Materials,’’ and OMB Control
Number 2137–0034, ‘‘Hazardous
Materials Shipping Papers & Emergency
Response Information.’’ We anticipate
that this proposed rule will result in an
increase in the annual burden for OMB
Control Number 2137–0034 due to an
increase in the number of applications
for modifications to existing holders of
DOT-issued RINs. In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to amend
§ 107.805(f)(2) to allow RIN holders to
submit an application containing all the
required information prescribed in
§ 107.705(a); identifying the TC, CTC,
CRC, or BTC specification cylinder(s) or
tube(s) to be inspected; certifying the
requalifier will operate in compliance
with the applicable TDG Regulations;
and certifying the persons performing
requalification have been trained and
have the information contained in the
TDG Regulations. This application
would be in addition to any existing
application and burden encountered
during the initial RIN application.
We anticipate this proposed rule will
result in a decrease in the annual
burden and costs of OMB Control
Number 2137–0034. This burden and
cost decrease is primarily attributable to
the proposed removal of the alternative
document currently required for lithium
cells or batteries offered in accordance
with § 173.185(c). Additional increased
burdens and costs to OMB Control
Number 2137–0034 in this proposed
rule are attributable to a new proposed
indication on shipping papers that a
shipment of prototype or low
production run lithium batteries or cells
is in accordance with § 173.185(e)(7)
VerDate Sep<11>2014

and the proposed addition of new
marine pollutant entries.
This rulemaking identifies revised
information collection requests that
PHMSA will submit to OMB for
approval based on the requirements in
this NPRM. PHMSA has developed
burden estimates to reflect changes in
this NPRM and estimates the
information collection and
recordkeeping burdens in this rule are
as follows:
OMB Control Number 2137–0557
Annual Increase in Number of
Respondents: 3,600.
Annual Increase in Annual Number of
Responses: 3,600.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden
Hours: 1,800.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden
Costs: $63,000.
OMB Control Number 2137–0034
Annual Decrease in Number of
Respondents: 972,551.
Annual Decrease in Annual Number
of Responses: 9,765,507.
Annual Decrease in Annual Burden
Hours: 27,161.
Annual Decrease in Annual Burden
Costs: $950,635.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
of 1995, no person is required to
respond to an information collection
unless it has been approved by OMB
and displays a valid OMB control
number. Section 1320.8(d) of 5 CFR
requires that PHMSA provide interested
members of the public and affected
agencies an opportunity to comment on
information and recordkeeping requests.
PHMSA specifically solicits comment
on the information collection and
recordkeeping burdens associated with
developing, implementing, and
maintaining these proposed
requirements. Address written
comments to the Dockets Unit as
identified in the ADDRESSES section of
this rulemaking. We must receive
comments regarding information
collection burdens prior to the close of
the comment period as identified in the
DATES section of this rulemaking. In
addition, you may submit comments
specifically related to the information
collection burden to the PHMSA Desk
Officer, Office of Management and
Budget, at fax number 202–395–6974.
Requests for a copy of this information
collection should be directed to Steven
Andrews or T. Glenn Foster, Standards
and Rulemaking Division (PHH–10),
Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey
Avenue SE., Washington, DC 20590–

submit the revised information
collection and recordkeeping
requirements to OMB for approval.
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 of
1995
This proposed rule does not impose
unfunded mandates under the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of
1995. It does not result in costs of
$141.3 million or more, adjusted for
inflation, to either State, local, or tribal
governments, in the aggregate, or to the
private sector in any one year, and is the
least burdensome alternative that
achieves the objective of the rule.
I. Environmental Assessment
The National Environmental Policy
Act of 1969, 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 that implement NEPA
(40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508)
require 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.
1. Purpose and Need
This NPRM would amend the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;
49 CFR parts 171 through 180) to
maintain consistency with international
standards by incorporating the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods—Model Regulations,
Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code,
the 2017–2018 ICAO Technical
Instructions, and Canada’s newest
amendments to TDG Regulations.
This action is necessary to incorporate
changes adopted in the IMDG Code, the
ICAO Technical Instructions, and the
UN Model Regulations, effective January
1, 2017. If the changes in this proposed
rule are not adopted in the HMR by this
effective date, U.S. companies—
including numerous small entities
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
61774
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
competing in foreign markets—would
be at an economic disadvantage because
of their need to comply with a dual
system of regulations. The changes in
this proposed rulemaking are intended
to avoid this result.
The intended effect of this action is to
harmonize the HMR with international
transport standards and requirements to
the extent practicable in accordance
with Federal hazmat law (see 49 U.S.C.
5120). When considering the adoption
of international standards under the
HMR, PHMSA reviews and evaluates
each amendment on its own merit, on
its overall impact on transportation
safety, and on the economic
implications associated with its
adoption. Our goal is to harmonize
internationally without diminishing the
level of safety currently provided by the
HMR or imposing undue burdens on the
regulated public. PHMSA has provided
a brief summary of each revision, the
justification for the revision, and a
preliminary estimate of economic
impact.
2. Alternatives
In proposing this rulemaking, PHMSA
is considering the following
alternatives:
No Action Alternative
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
If PHMSA were to select the No
Action Alternative, current regulations
would remain in place and no new
provisions would be added. However,
efficiencies gained through
harmonization in updates to transport
standards, lists of regulated substances,
definitions, packagings, stowage
requirements/codes, flexibilities
allowed, enhanced markings,
segregation requirements, etc., would
not be realized. Foregone efficiencies in
the No Action Alternative include
freeing up limited resources to
concentrate on vessel transport hazard
communication (hazcom) issues of
potentially much greater environmental
impact. Adopting the No Action
Alternative would result in a lost
opportunity for reducing environmental
and safety-related incidents.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under the No Action
Alternative.
Preferred Alternative
This alternative is the current
proposal as it appears in this NPRM,
applying to transport of hazardous
materials by various transport modes
(highway, rail, vessel, and aircraft). The
proposed amendments included in this
alternative are more fully addressed in
the preamble and regulatory text
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
sections of this NPRM. However, they
generally include:
(1) Updates to references to various
international hazardous materials
transport standards;
(2) Amendments to the Hazardous
Materials Table to include four new
Division 4.1 entries for polymerizing
substances and to add into the HMR
defining criteria, authorized packagings,
and safety requirements;
(3) Amendments to add, revise, or
remove certain proper shipping names,
packing groups, special provisions,
packaging authorizations, bulk
packaging requirements, and vessel
stowage requirements;
(4) Changes to add the following
substances to the list of marine
pollutants in appendix B to § 172.101:
Hexanes; Hypochlorite solutions;
Isoprene, stabilized; N-Methylaniline;
Methylcyclohexane; and Tripropylene;
(5) Changes throughout the part 173
packaging requirements to authorize
more flexibility when choosing
packages for hazardous materials;
(6) Various amendments to packaging
requirements for the vessel
transportation of water-reactive
substances;
(7) Revisions to hazard
communication requirements for
shipments of lithium batteries
consistent with changes adopted in the
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations; and
(8) Amendments to the HMR resulting
from coordination with Canada under
the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation
Council (RCC).
3. Probable Environmental Impact of the
Alternatives
No Action Alternative
If PHMSA were to select the No
Action Alternative, current regulations
would remain in place and no new
provisions would be added. However,
efficiencies gained through
harmonization in updates to transport
standards, lists of regulated substances,
definitions, packagings, stowage
requirements/codes, flexibilities
allowed, enhanced markings,
segregation requirements, etc., would
not be realized. Foregone efficiencies in
the No Action Alternative include
freeing up limited resources to
concentrate on vessel transport hazcom
issues of potentially much greater
environmental impact.
Additionally, the Preferred
Alternative encompasses enhanced and
clarified regulatory requirements, which
would result in increased compliance
and a decreased number of
environmental and safety incidents. Not
PO 00000
Frm 00034
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
adopting the proposed environmental
and safety requirements in the NPRM
under the No Action Alternative would
result in a lost opportunity for reducing
environmental and safety-related
incidents.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under the No Action
Alternative.
Preferred Alternative
If PHMSA selects the provisions as
proposed in this NPRM, safety and
environmental risks would be reduced
and that protections to human health
and environmental resources would be
increased. Potential environmental
impacts of each proposed amendment in
the preferred alternative are discussed
as follows:
1. Incorporation by Reference:
PHMSA proposes to update references
to various international hazardous
materials transport standards including
the 2017–2018 ICAO Technical
Instructions; Amendment 38–16 to the
IMDG Code; the 19th Revised Edition of
the UN Model Regulations; the 6th
Revised Edition of the UN Manual of
Tests and Criteria; and the latest
amendments to the Canadian TDG
Regulations. Additionally, we propose
to add one new reference to standards
and update eight other references to
standards applicable to the manufacture
use and requalification of pressure
vessels published by the International
Organization for Standardization.
This proposed amendment, which
will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in
greater protection of human health and
the environment. Consistency between
U.S. and international regulations
enhances the safety and environmental
protection of international hazardous
materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an
increased level of industry compliance,
the smooth flow of hazardous materials
from their points of origin to their
points of destination, and consistent
emergency response in the event of a
hazardous materials incident. The HMR
authorize shipments prepared in
accordance with the ICAO Technical
Instructions and by motor vehicle either
before or after being transported by
aircraft. Similarly, the HMR authorize
shipments prepared in accordance with
the IMDG Code if all or part of the
transportation is by vessel. The
authorizations to use the ICAO
Technical Instructions and the IMDG
Code are subject to certain conditions
and limitations outlined in part 171
subpart C.
Harmonization will result in more
targeted and effective training and
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
thereby enhanced environmental
protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous
materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. For ease of
compliance with appropriate
regulations, air and vessel carriers
engaged in the transportation of
hazardous materials generally elect to
comply with the ICAO Technical
Instructions and IMDG Code as
appropriate. Consistency between these
international regulations and the HMR
allows shippers and carriers to train
their hazmat employees in a single set
of requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication,
handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of
improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials
because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
2. Consistent with amendments
adopted into the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes to revise the
Hazardous Materials Table in § 172.101
to include four new Division 4.1 entries
for polymerizing substances.
Additionally, we propose to add into the
HMR defining criteria, authorized
packagings, and safety requirements
including, but not limited to,
stabilization methods and operational
controls.
This proposed amendment, which
will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in
greater protection of human health and
the environment. Consistency between
U.S. and international regulations
enhances the safety and environmental
protection of international hazardous
materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an
increased level of industry compliance,
the smooth flow of hazardous materials
from their points of origin to their
points of destination, and consistent
emergency response in the event of a
hazardous materials incident. New and
revised entries to the HMT reflect
emerging technologies and a need to
better describe or differentiate between
existing entries. These proposed
changes mirror changes in the
Dangerous Goods List of the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, the 2017–2018 ICAO
Technical Instructions, and the
Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code. It
is extremely important for the domestic
HMR to mirror these international
standards regarding the entries in the
HMT to allow for consistent naming
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
conventions across modes and
international borders.
Harmonization will result in more
targeted and effective training and
thereby enhanced environmental
protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous
materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. For ease of
compliance with appropriate
regulations, international carriers
engaged in the transportation of
hazardous materials by vessel generally
elect to comply with the IMDG Code.
Consistency between these international
regulations and the HMR allows
shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of
requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication,
handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of
improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials
because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Inclusion of entries in the HMT
reflects a degree of danger associated
with a particular material and identifies
appropriate packaging. This proposed
change provides a level of consistency
for all articles specifically listed in the
HMT, without diminishing
environmental protection and safety.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
3. PHMSA proposes amendments to
the HMT to add, revise, or remove
certain proper shipping names, packing
groups, special provisions, packaging
authorizations, bulk packaging
requirements, and vessel stowage
requirements. Amendments to HMT
proper shipping names include:
Assigning the existing ‘‘Engines, internal
combustion’’ entries to their own new
UN numbers and provisions; amending
existing ‘‘Uranium Hexafluoride’’
entries to include a new Division 6.1
subsidiary hazard class designation;
adding a new entry for ‘‘Polyester resin
kit, solid base material; and adding a
Division 1.4C new entry for ‘‘Rocket
motors.’’ Additionally, we also propose
to add and revise special provisions,
large packaging authorizations, and
intermediate bulk container (IBC)
authorizations consistent with the UN
Model Regulations to provide a wider
range of packaging options to shippers
of hazardous materials.
This proposed amendment, which
will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in
greater protection of human health and
the environment. Consistency between
U.S. and international regulations
enhances the safety and environmental

protection of international hazardous
materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an
increased level of industry compliance,
the smooth flow of hazardous materials
from their points of origin to their
points of destination, and consistent
emergency response in the event of a
hazardous materials incident. New and
revised entries to the HMT reflect
emerging technologies and a need to
better describe or differentiate between
existing entries. These proposed
changes mirror changes in the
Dangerous Goods List of the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, the 2017–2018 ICAO
Technical Instructions, and the
Amendment 38–16 to the IMDG Code. It
is extremely important for the domestic
HMR to mirror these international
standards regarding the entries in the
HMT to allow for consistent naming
conventions across modes and
international borders.
Harmonization will result in more
targeted and effective training and
thereby enhanced environmental
protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous
materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. For ease of
compliance with appropriate
regulations, international carriers
engaged in the transportation of
hazardous materials by vessel generally
elect to comply with the IMDG Code.
Consistency between these international
regulations and the HMR allows
shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of
requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication,
handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of
improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials
because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Inclusion of entries in the HMT
reflects a degree of danger associated
with a particular material and identifies
appropriate packaging. This proposed
change provides a level of consistency
for all articles specifically listed in the
HMT, without diminishing
environmental protection and safety.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
4. PHMSA proposes to add the
following substances to the list of
marine pollutants in appendix B to
§ 172.101: Hexanes; Hypochlorite
solutions; Isoprene, stabilized; NMethylaniline; Methylcyclohexane; and
Tripropylene.
This proposed amendment, which
will increase standardization and
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
61776
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
consistency of regulations, will result in
greater protection of human health and
the environment. Consistency between
U.S. and international regulations
enhances the safety and environmental
protection of international hazardous
materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an
increased level of industry compliance,
the smooth flow of hazardous materials
from their points of origin to their
points of destination, and consistent
emergency response in the event of a
hazardous materials incident. These
proposed additions and deletions are
based on the criteria contained in the
IMDG Code for substances classified as
toxic to the aquatic environment. The
HMR maintain a list as the basis for
regulating substances toxic to the
aquatic environment and allow use of
the criteria in the IMDG Code if a listed
material does not meet the criteria for a
marine pollutant. PHMSA periodically
updates its list based on changes to the
IMDG Code and evaluation of listed
materials against the IMDG Code
criteria. Amending the marine pollutant
list will facilitate consistent
communication of the presence of
marine pollutants and facilitate safe and
efficient transportation without
imposing significant burden associated
with characterizing mixtures as marine
pollutants.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
5. Consistent with amendments
adopted into the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes to adopt changes
throughout the part 173 packaging
requirements to authorize more
flexibility when choosing packages for
hazardous materials. These changes
include design, construction, and
performance testing criteria of
composite reinforced tubes between 450
L and 3,000 L water capacity.
These proposed amendments permit
additional flexibility for authorized
packages without compromising
environmental protection or safety.
Manufacturing and performance
standards for gas pressure receptacles
strengthen the packaging without being
overly prescriptive. Increased flexibility
will also add to environmental
protection by increasing the ease of
regulatory compliance.
Harmonization will result in more
targeted and effective training and
thereby enhanced environmental
protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous
materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. Consistency
between these international regulations
and the HMR allows shippers and
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:08 Sep 06, 2016
Jkt 238001
carriers to train their hazmat employees
in a single set of requirements for
classification, packaging, hazard
communication, handling, stowage, etc.,
thereby minimizing the possibility of
improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials
because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
6. PHMSA proposes various
amendments to packaging requirements
for the vessel transportation of waterreactive substances. The amendments
include changes to the packaging
requirements to require certain
commodities to have hermetically
sealed packaging and to require other
commodities—when packed in flexible,
fiberboard, or wooden packagings—to
have sift-proof and water-resistant
packaging or packaging fitted with a
sift-proof and water-resistant liner.
The proposed amendment will reduce
the risk of fire on board cargo vessels
carrying hazardous materials that can
react dangerously with the ship’s
available water and carbon dioxide fire
extinguishing systems. PHMSA
proposes to amend the packaging
requirements for vessel transportation of
hazardous materials that react with
water or moisture to generate excessive
heat or release toxic or flammable gases.
Common causes for water entering into
the container are: Water entering
through ventilation or structural flaws
in the container; water entering into the
containers placed on deck or in the hold
in heavy seas; and water entering into
the cargo space upon a ship collision or
leak. If water has already entered the
container, the packaging is the only
protection from the fire. In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes to strengthen the
ability of these packages transporting
water-reactive substances. This
proposed amendment will allow for a
net increase in environmental
protection and safety by keeping
reactive substances in their packages,
thus preventing release and damage to
human health and the natural
environment.
Harmonization will result in more
targeted and effective training and
thereby enhanced environmental
protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous
materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. For ease of
compliance with appropriate
regulations, international carriers
engaged in the transportation of
hazardous materials by vessel generally
elect to comply with the IMDG Code.
Consistency between these international
PO 00000
Frm 00036
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
regulations and the HMR allows
shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of
requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication,
handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of
improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials
because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
7. PHMSA proposes to revise hazard
communication requirements for
shipments of lithium batteries.
Specifically, PHMSA proposes to adopt
a new lithium battery label in place of
the existing Class 9 label; to amend the
existing marking requirements for small
lithium battery shipments in
§ 173.185(c) to incorporate a new
standard lithium battery mark for use
across all modes; to delete the
documentation requirement in
§ 173.185(c) for shipments of small
lithium cells and batteries; and to
amend the exception for small lithium
cells and batteries requiring the lithium
battery mark from the current
applicability of ‘‘no more than four
lithium cells or two lithium batteries
installed in the equipment’’ to ‘‘no more
than four lithium cells or two lithium
batteries installed in equipment, where
there are not more than two packages in
the consignment.’’
This proposed amendment, which
will provide for enhanced hazard
communication, will result in greater
protection of human health and the
environment by increasing awareness
and preparedness.
Greenhouse gas emissions would
remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
8. PHMSA proposes several
amendments to the HMR resulting from
coordination with Canada under the
U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation
Council (RCC). We are proposing
provisions for recognition of Transport
Canada (TC) cylinders, equivalency
certificates, and inspection and repair of
cargo tanks.
This proposed amendment, which
will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in
greater protection of human health and
the environment. Consistency between
U.S. and international regulations
enhances the safety and environmental
protection of international hazardous
materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an
increased level of industry compliance,
the smooth flow of hazardous materials
from their points of origin to their
E:\FR\FM\07SEP2.SGM
07SEP2
Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
points of destination, and consistent
emergency response in the event of a
hazardous materials incident. The
proposed additions intend to provide
reciprocal treatment of DOT Special
Permits and TC equivalency certificates,
DOT cylinders and TC cylinders, and
cargo tank repair capabilities in both
countries. Amending the HMR will
facilitate consistent communication for
substances transported by cylinders and
cargo tanks, thus decreasing not only
incident response time, but the number
and severity of environmental and
safety incidents.
The proposed action is consistent
with concurrent actions by Transport
Canada to amend the TDG Regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would

amendment.
4. Agencies Consulted
This NPRM represents PHMSA’s first
action in the U.S. for this program area.
PHMSA has coordinated with the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration, the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration, the Federal Railroad
Administration, and the U.S. Coast
Guard, in the development of this
proposed rule. PHMSA will consider
the views expressed in comments to the
NPRM submitted by members of the
public, state and local governments, and
industry.
sradovich on DSK3GMQ082PROD with PROPOSALS2
5. Conclusion
The provisions of this proposed rule
build on current regulatory
requirements to enhance the
transportation safety and security of
shipments of hazardous materials
transported by highway, rail, aircraft,
and vessel, thereby reducing the risks of
an accidental or intentional release of
hazardous materials and consequent
environmental damage. PHMSA
concludes that the net environmental
impact will be positive and that there
are no significant environmental
impacts associated with this proposed
rule.
PHMSA welcomes any views, data, or
information related to environmental
impacts that may result if the proposed
requirements are adopted, as well as
possible alternatives and their
environmental impacts.

K. Executive Order 13609 and
International Trade Analysis
Under Executive Order 13609
(‘‘Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation’’), 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
to protect the safety of the American
public. PHMSA has assessed the effects
of the proposed rule and determined
that it does not cause unnecessary
obstacles to foreign trade. In fact, the
rule is designed to facilitate
international trade. Accordingly, this
rulemaking is consistent with Executive
Order 13609 and PHMSA’s obligations
under the Trade Agreement Act, as
amended.
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

Frm 00037

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 NPRM
involves multiple voluntary consensus
standards which are discussed at length
in the ‘‘Section-by-Section Review’’ for
§ 171.7.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 173 / Wednesday, September 7, 2016 / Proposed Rules
identified by technical name in the SelfReactive Materials Table in § 173.224 is
assigned to a generic type in accordance
with that table. Self-reactive materials
not identified in the Self-Reactive
Materials Table in § 173.224 are
assigned to generic types under the
procedures of paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this
section.
(A) Type A. Self-reactive material type
A is a self-reactive material which, as
packaged for transportation, can
detonate or deflagrate rapidly.
Transportation of type A self-reactive
material is forbidden.
(B) Type B. Self-reactive material type
B is a self-reactive material which, as
packaged for transportation, neither
detonates nor deflagrates rapidly, but is
liable to undergo a thermal explosion in
a package.
(C) Type C. Self-reactive material type
C is a self-reactive material which, as
packaged for transportation, neither
detonates nor deflagrates rapidly and
cannot undergo a thermal explosion.
(D) Type D. Self-reactive material type
D is a self-reactive material which—
(1) Detonates partially, does not
deflagrate rapidly and shows no violent
effect when heated under confinement;
(2) Does not detonate at all,
deflagrates slowly and shows no violent
effect when heated under confinement;
or
(3) Does not detonate or deflagrate at
all and shows a medium effect when
heated under confinement.
(E) Type E. Self-reactive material type
E is a self-reactive material which, in
laboratory testing, neither detonates nor
deflagrates at all and shows only a low
or no effect when heated under
confinement.
(F) Type F. Self-reactive material type
F is a self-reactive material which, in
laboratory testing, neither detonates in
the cavitated state nor deflagrates at all
and shows only a low or no effect when
heated under confinement as well as
low or no explosive power.
(G) Type G. Self-reactive material type
G is a self-reactive material which, in
laboratory testing, does not detonate in
the cavitated state, will not deflagrate at
all, shows no effect when heated under
confinement, nor shows any explosive
power. A type G self-reactive material is
not subject to the requirements of this
subchapter for self-reactive material of
Division 4.1 provided that it is
thermally stable (self-accelerating
decomposition temperature is 50 °C
(122 °F) or higher for a 50 kg (110
pounds) package). A self-reactive
material meeting all characteristics of
type G except thermal stability is
classed as a type F self-reactive,
temperature control material.

(iii) Procedures for assigning a selfreactive material to a generic type. A
self-reactive material must be assigned
to a generic type based on—
(A) Its physical state (i.e. liquid or
solid), in accordance with the definition
of liquid and solid in § 171.8 of this
subchapter;
(B) A determination as to its control
temperature and emergency
temperature, if any, under the
provisions of § 173.21(f);
(C) Performance of the self-reactive
material under the test procedures
specified in the UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria (IBR, see § 171.7 of this
subchapter) and the provisions of
paragraph (a)(2)(iii) of this section; and
(D) Except for a self-reactive material
which is identified by technical name in
the Self-Reactive Materials Table in
§ 173.224(b) or a self-reactive material
which may be shipped as a sample
under the provisions of § 173.224, the
self-reactive material is approved in
writing by the Associate Administrator.
The person requesting approval shall
submit to the Associate Administrator
the tentative shipping description and
generic type and—
(1) All relevant data concerning
physical state, temperature controls, and
tests results; or
(2) An approval issued for the selfreactive material by the competent
authority of a foreign government.
(iv) Tests. The generic type for a selfreactive material must be determined
using the testing protocol from Figure
20.1 (a) and (b) (Flow Chart Scheme for
Self-Reactive Substances and Organic
Peroxides) from the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria (IBR, see § 171.7 of this
subchapter).
(3) Readily combustible solids are
materials that—
(i) Are solids which may cause a fire
through friction, such as matches;
(ii) Show a burning rate faster than 2.2
mm (0.087 inches) per second when
tested in accordance with the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria (IBR, see
§ 171.7 of this subchapter); or
(iii) Any metal powders that can be
ignited and react over the whole length
of a sample in 10 minutes or less, when
tested in accordance with the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria.
(4) Polymerizing materials are
materials that are liable to undergo an
exothermic reaction resulting in the
formation of larger molecules or
resulting in the formation of polymers
under conditions normally encountered
in transport. Such materials are
considered to be polymerizing
substances of Division 4.1 when:
(i) Their self-accelerating
polymerization temperature (SAPT) is
PO 00000
Frm 00072
Fmt 4701
Sfmt 4702
75 °C (167 °F) or less under the
conditions (with or without chemical
stabilization) as offered for transport in
the packaging, IBC or portable tank in
which the material or mixture is to be
transported. An appropriate packaging
for a polymerizing material must be
determined using the heating under
confinement testing protocol from boxes
7, 8, 9, and 13 of Figure 20.1 (a) and (b)
(Flow Chart Scheme for Self-Reactive
Substances and Organic Peroxides) from
the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria
(IBR, see § 171.7 of this subchapter) by
successfully passing the UN Test Series
E at the ‘‘None’’ or ‘‘Low’’ level or by
an equivalent test method;
(ii) They exhibit a heat of reaction of
more than 300 J/g; and
(iii) Do not meet the definition of any
other hazard class.
(b) Division 4.2 (Spontaneously
Combustible Material). For the purposes
of this subchapter, spontaneously
combustible material (Division 4.2)
means—
(1) A pyrophoric material. A
pyrophoric material is a liquid or solid
that, even in small quantities and
without an external ignition source, can
ignite within five (5) minutes after
coming in contact with air when tested
according to UN Manual of Tests and
Criteria.
(2) Self-heating material. A selfheating material is a material that
through a process where the gradual
reaction of that substance with oxygen
(in air) generates heat. If the rate of heat
production exceeds the rate of heat loss,
then the temperature of the substance
will rise which, after an induction time,
may lead to self-ignition and
combustion. A material of this type
which exhibits spontaneous ignition or
if the temperature of the sample exceeds
200 °C (392 °F) during the 24-hour test
period when tested in accordance with
UN Manual of Tests and Criteria (IBR;
see § 171.7 of this subchapter), is
classed as a Division 4.2 material.
(c) Division 4.3 (Dangerous when wet
material). For the purposes of this
chapter, dangerous when wet material
(Division 4.3) means a material that, by
contact with water, is liable to become
spontaneously flammable or to give off
flammable or toxic gas at a rate greater
than 1 L per kilogram of the material,
per hour, when tested in accordance
with UN Manual of Tests and Criteria.

shipped by itself or when used as a
refrigerant for other commodities, may
be carried only if the operator has made
suitable arrangements based on the
aircraft type, the aircraft ventilation
rates, the method of packing and
stowing, whether animals will be
carried on the same flight and other
factors. The operator must ensure that
the ground staff is informed that the dry
ice is being loaded or is on board the
aircraft. For arrangements between the
shipper and operator, see § 173.217 of
this subchapter. Where dry ice is
contained in a unit load device (ULD)
prepared by a single shipper in
accordance with § 173.217 of this
subchapter and the operator after the
acceptance adds additional dry ice, the
operator must ensure that the
information provided to the pilot-incommand and the marking on the ULD
when used as a packaging reflects that
revised quantity of dry ice.

I. Executive Summary
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA)
proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171 to 180) to maintain consistency with international
regulations and standards by incorporating various amendments,
including changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing
groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport
quantity limitations, and vessel stowage requirements. This rulemaking
project is part of our ongoing biennial process to harmonize the HMR
with international regulations and standards.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend the HMR to maintain
consistency with various international standards. The following are
some of the more noteworthy proposals set forth in this NPRM:
Incorporation by Reference: PHMSA proposes to incorporate
by reference the newest versions of various international hazardous
materials standards, including the 2017-2018 Edition of the
International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for
the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical
Instructions); Amendment 38-16 to the International Maritime Dangerous
Goods Code (IMDG Code); the 19th Revised Edition of the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Model
Regulations); the 6th Revised Edition of the United Nations Manual of
Tests and Criteria; and the 6th Revised Edition of the Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals.
Additionally, we propose to update our incorporation by reference of
the Canadian Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG) Regulations to
include SOR/2014-152 and SOR/2014-159 published July 2, 2014; SOR/2014-
159 Erratum published July 16, 2014; SOR/2014-152 Erratum published
August 27, 2014; SOR/2014-306 published December 31, 2014; SOR/2014-306
Erratum published January 28, 2015; and SOR/2015-100 published May 20,
2015. Finally, in this NPRM, PHMSA proposes the adoption of updated
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.
Hazardous Materials Table (HMT): PHMSA proposes amendments
to the Sec. 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) consistent with
recent changes in the Dangerous Goods List of the 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the
[[Page 61743]]
ICAO Technical Instructions. Specifically, we propose amendments to the
HMT to add, revise, or remove certain proper shipping names, hazard
classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations,
bulk packaging requirements, and passenger and cargo aircraft maximum
quantity limits.
Provisions for Polymerizing Substances: PHMSA proposes to
revise the HMT consistent with amendments adopted into the UN Model
Regulations. Specifically, we propose to include into the HMT four new
Division 4.1 entries for polymerizing substances and to add into the
HMR defining criteria, authorized packagings, and safety requirements
including, but not limited to, stabilization methods and operational
controls.
Modification of the Marine Pollutant List: PHMSA proposes
to modify the list of marine pollutants in appendix B to Sec. 172.101.
The HMR maintain this list as the basis for regulating substances toxic
to the aquatic environment and allow use of the criteria in the IMDG
Code if a listed material does not meet the criteria for a marine
pollutant. PHMSA periodically updates this list based on changes to the
IMDG Code and evaluation of listed materials.
Packaging Requirements for Water-Reactive Materials
Transported by Vessel: PHMSA proposes various amendments to packaging
requirements for vessel transportation of water-reactive substances
consistent with requirements in the IMDG Code. The amendments include
changes to the packaging requirements to require certain commodities to
have hermetically sealed packaging and to require other commodities--
when packed in flexible, fiberboard, or wooden packagings--to have
sift-proof and water-resistant packaging or packaging fitted with a
sift-proof and water-resistant liner.
Hazard Communication Requirements for Lithium Batteries:
PHMSA proposes to revise hazard communication requirements for
shipments of lithium batteries consistent with changes adopted in the
19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations. Specifically, PHMSA
proposes to adopt a new lithium battery label in place of the existing
Class 9 label; to amend the existing marking requirements for small
lithium battery shipments in Sec. 173.185(c) to incorporate a new
standard lithium battery mark for use across all modes; \1\ to delete
the documentation requirement in Sec. 173.185(c) for shipments of
small lithium cells and batteries; and to require the lithium battery
mark be applied to each package containing small lithium cells or
batteries contained in equipment when there are more than four lithium
cells or two lithium batteries installed in the equipment or where
there are more than two packages in the consignment.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Small cells and batteries for the purposes of this
rulemaking are a lithium metal cell containing not more than 1 gram
of lithium metal, a lithium metal battery containing not more than 2
grams of lithium metal, a lithium ion cell not more than 20 Watt-
hours (Wh), and a lithium ion battery not more than 100 Wh (49 CFR
173.185(c) and Section II of Packing Instructions 965 and 968 in the
ICAO Technical Instructions).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Engine, Internal Combustion/Machinery, Internal
Combustion: PHMSA proposes to harmonize the HMT proper shipping names
utilized for the transportation of engines and machinery containing
engines with those in the UN Model Regulations. Additionally, PHMSA
proposes harmonization with the IMDG Code for domestic vessel shipments
of engines, internal combustion, and machinery containing combustion
engines. Under the proposals in this NPRM, the existing ``Engine,
internal combustion'' entries would be assigned their own UN numbers
and hazard class based on the type of fuel (e.g. a flammable liquid
powered engine is assigned a proper shipping name with a Class 3
designation). Existing requirements and exceptions for the
transportation of engines and machinery containing engines transported
by road, rail, and aircraft would remain unchanged. PHMSA is, however,
proposing to harmonize the transportation requirements for
transportation by vessel, which includes varying degrees of hazard
communication based on the type of fuel, amount of fuel, and capacity
of the fuel tank.
U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC)
Proposals: PHMSA proposes several amendments to the HMR resulting from
coordination with Canada under the U.S.-Canada RCC. Specifically, we
propose provisions for recognition of Transport Canada (TC) cylinders,
equivalency certificates (permit for equivalent level of safety), and
inspection and repair of cargo tanks. These changes would be made in
conjunction with Transport Canada proposing similar regulatory changes
that will provide reciprocal recognition of DOT cylinders and DOT
special permits.
If adopted in a final rule, the amendments proposed in this NPRM
will result in minimal burdens on the regulated community. The benefits
achieved from their adoption include enhanced transportation safety
resulting from the consistency of domestic and international hazard
communication and continued access to foreign markets by U.S.
manufacturers of hazardous materials. PHMSA anticipates that most of
the amendments in this NPRM will result in cost savings and will ease
the regulatory compliance burden for shippers engaged in domestic and
international commerce, including trans-border shipments within North
America.
PHMSA solicits comment from the regulated community on these
amendments and others proposed in this NPRM pertaining to need,
benefits and costs of international harmonization, impact on safety,
and any other relevant concerns. In addition, PHMSA solicits comment
regarding approaches to reducing the costs of this rule while
maintaining or increasing the benefits. In its preliminary analysis,
PHMSA concluded that the aggregate benefits of the amendments proposed
in this NPRM justify their aggregate costs. Nonetheless, PHMSA solicits
comment on specific changes (i.e., greater flexibility with regard to a
particular amendment) that might improve the rule.
II. Background
Federal law and policy strongly favor the harmonization of domestic
and international standards for hazardous materials transportation. The
Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.,
``Federal hazmat law'') directs PHMSA to participate in relevant
international standard-setting bodies and promotes consistency of the
HMR with international transport standards to the extent practicable.
Although Federal hazmat law permits PHMSA to depart from international
standards to promote safety or other overriding public interest, it
otherwise encourages domestic and international harmonization (see 49
U.S.C. 5120).
In a final rule published December 21, 1990 (Docket HM-181; 55 FR
52402), PHMSA's predecessor--the Research and Special Programs
Administration (RSPA)--comprehensively revised the HMR for
international harmonization with the UN Model Regulations. The UN Model
Regulations constitute a set of recommendations issued by the United
Nations Sub-Committee of Experts (UNSCOE) on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods (TDG) and the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). The UN Model Regulations are amended and
updated biennially by the UNSCOE and serve as
[[Page 61744]]
the basis for national, regional, and international modal regulations,
including the IMDG Code and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Since publication of the 1990 rule, PHMSA has issued 11 additional
international harmonization rulemakings under the following dockets:
HM-215A [59 FR 67390; Dec. 29, 1994]; HM-215B [62 FR 24690; May 6,
1997]; HM-215C [64 FR 10742; Mar. 5, 1999]; HM-215D [66 FR 33316; June
21, 2001]; HM-215E [68 FR 44992; July 31, 2003]; HM-215G [69 FR 76044;
Dec. 20, 2004]; HM-215I [71 FR 78595; Dec. 29, 2006]; HM-215J [74 FR
2200; Jan. 14, 2009]; HM-215K [76 FR 3308; Jan. 19, 2011]; HM-215L [78
FR 987; Jan. 7, 2013]; and HM-215M [80 FR 1075; Jan. 8, 2015]. These
rulemakings were based on biennial updates of the UN Model Regulations,
the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Harmonization becomes increasingly important as the volume of
hazardous materials transported in international commerce grows. It not
only facilitates international trade by minimizing the costs and other
burdens of complying with multiple or inconsistent safety requirements
for transportation of hazardous materials, but it also enhances safety
when the international standards provide an appropriate level of
protection. PHMSA actively participates in the development of
international standards for the transportation of hazardous materials
and promotes the adoption of standards consistent with the HMR. When
considering the harmonization of the HMR with international standards,
PHMSA reviews and evaluates each amendment on its own merit, on its
overall impact on transportation safety, and on the economic
implications associated with its adoption. Our goal is to harmonize
with international standards without diminishing the level of safety
currently provided by the HMR or imposing undue burdens on the
regulated community.
Based on recent review and evaluation, PHMSA proposes to revise the
HMR to incorporate changes from the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations, Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code, and the 2017-2018
Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions, which become effective
January 1, 2017.\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code may be voluntarily applied
on January 1, 2017; however, the previous amendment remains
effective through December 31, 2017.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In addition, PHMSA proposes to incorporate by reference the newest
editions of various international standards. These standards
incorporated by reference are authorized for use, under specific
circumstances, in part 171 subpart C of the HMR. This proposed rule is
necessary to incorporate revisions to the international standards and,
if adopted in the HMR, will be effective January 1, 2017.
Possible Interim Final Rule
The changes to the international standards will take effect on
January 1, 2017. Therefore, it is essential that a final rule
incorporating these standards by reference be published no later than
December 31, 2016 with an effective date of January 1, 2017. Otherwise,
U.S. companies--including numerous small entities competing in foreign
markets--will be at an economic disadvantage because of their need to
comply with a dual system of regulations (specifically, the HMR, UN
Model Regulations, and ICAO Technical Instructions). To this end, if it
appears a final rule under this docket will not be published prior to
January 1, 2017, PHMSA will publish a bridging document in the form of
an interim final rule to amend the HMR by incorporating the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Recommendations and the 2017-2018 Edition of
the ICAO Technical Instructions.
With regard to Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code, the International
Maritime Organization (IMO) approved an implementation date of January
1, 2018. The current edition of the IMDG Code (Amendment 37-14) remains
in effect through 2017; therefore, we will not include the newest
version of the IMDG Code in any bridging document. The proposed
incorporation by reference of the newest edition of the IMDG Code and
all other changes proposed in this NPRM would be addressed in a
subsequent final rule also under this docket [PHMSA-2015-0273 (HM-
215N)]. Accordingly, any interim final rule will only incorporate by
reference editions of the international standards that become effective
on January 1, 2017.
III. Incorporation by Reference Discussion Under 1 CFR Part 51
The UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Model
Regulations, Manual of Tests and Criteria, and Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals, as well as all of
the Transport Canada Clear Language Amendments, are free and easily
accessible to the public on the internet, with access provided through
the parent organization Web sites. The ICAO Technical Instructions,
IMDG Code, and all ISO references are available for interested parties
to purchase in either print or electronic versions through the parent
organization Web sites. The price charged for those not freely
available helps to cover the cost of developing, maintaining, hosting,
and accessing these standards. The specific standards are discussed at
length in the ``Section-by-Section Review'' for Sec. 171.7.
IV. Harmonization Proposals in This NPRM
In addition to various other revisions to the HMR, PHMSA proposes
the following amendments to harmonize the HMR with the most recent
revisions to the UN Model Regulations, ICAO Technical Instructions, and
IMDG Code, as well as several amendments resulting from coordination
with Canada under the U.S.-Canada RCC:
Incorporation by Reference: PHMSA proposes to incorporate
by reference the latest editions of various international transport
standards including the 2017-2018 Edition of the ICAO Technical
Instructions; Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code; the 6th Revised Edition
of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria; the 6th Revised Edition of the
United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and
Labelling of Chemicals; and the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations. Additionally, we are proposing to update our incorporation
by reference of the Canadian TDG Regulations to include SOR/2014-152
and SOR/2014-159 published July 2, 2014; SOR/2014-159 Erratum published
July 16, 2014; SOR/2014-152 Erratum published August 27, 2014; SOR/
2014-306 published December 31, 2014; SOR/2014-306 Erratum published
January 28, 2015; and SOR/2015-100 published May 20, 2015. This
incorporation by reference augments the broad reciprocity provided in
Sec. 171.12 where the HMR allow the use of the TDG Regulations under
certain conditions when transporting hazardous materials to or from
Canada by highway or rail. Finally, PHMSA proposes the incorporation by
reference of new and updated ISO standards.
Hazardous Materials Table (HMT): PHMSA proposes amendments
to the HMT to add, revise, or remove certain proper shipping names,
hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging
authorizations, bulk packaging requirements, vessel stowage and
segregation requirements, and passenger and cargo aircraft maximum
quantity limits.
Packaging Requirements for Water-Reactive Materials
Transported by
[[Page 61745]]
Vessel: PHMSA proposes various amendments to packaging requirements for
vessel transportation of water-reactive substances. The amendments
include changes to the packaging requirements to require certain
commodities to have hermetically sealed packaging and to require other
commodities--when packed in flexible, fiberboard, or wooden
packagings--to have sift-proof and water-resistant packaging or
packaging fitted with a sift-proof and water-resistant liner. These
proposed changes are consistent with IMDG Code requirements.
Hazard Communication Requirements for Lithium Batteries:
PHMSA proposes to revise hazard communication requirements for lithium
batteries consistent with changes adopted in the 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations. Specifically, PHMSA proposes to adopt a
new lithium battery label in place of the existing Class 9 label; to
amend the existing marking requirements for small lithium battery
shipments in Sec. 173.185(c) to incorporate a new standard lithium
battery mark for use across all modes; to remove the documentation
requirement in Sec. 173.185(c) for shipments of small lithium cells
and batteries; and to amend the exception for small lithium cells and
batteries requiring the lithium battery mark from the current
applicability of ``no more than four lithium cells or two lithium
batteries installed in the equipment'' to ``no more than four lithium
cells or two lithium batteries contained in equipment, where there are
not more than two packages in the consignment.''
Engine, Internal Combustion/Machinery, Internal
Combustion: PHMSA proposes to harmonize the HMT entries for the
transportation of engines and machinery containing engines with those
in the UN Model Regulations. Additionally, PHMSA proposes harmonization
with the IMDG Code for domestic vessel shipments of engines, internal
combustion, and machinery containing combustion engines. Under the
proposals in this NPRM, the existing ``Engine, internal combustion''
entries would be assigned their own UN numbers and hazard class based
on the type of fuel (e.g., a flammable liquid powered engine is
assigned a proper shipping name with a Class 3 designation). Existing
requirements and exceptions for the transportation of engines and
machinery containing engines transported by road, rail, and aircraft
would remain unchanged. PHMSA is, however, proposing to harmonize the
transportation requirements for transportation by vessel, which
includes varying degrees of hazard communication based on the type of
fuel, amount of fuel, and capacity of the fuel tank.
U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC)
Proposals: The Prime Minister of Canada and the President of the United
States created the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council in 2011.
Through this effort, the United States and Canada strive to strengthen
regulatory cooperation and reciprocity to enhance economic
competitiveness while maintaining high standards of health, safety, and
environmental protection. DOT, together with Transport Canada, have
collaborated to develop a regulatory partnership statement and work
plan, both of which can be viewed at https://trade.gov/rcc. Stakeholder
input (which can be viewed at www.regulations.gov under Docket No.
PHMSA 2012-0058), as well as internal and mutual regulatory review,
help determine work plan initiatives and areas where enhanced
regulatory cooperation and reciprocity might be feasible and beneficial
provided there is no compromise in safety. Three primary initiatives
identified in the work plan are the recognition of inspection and
repair of cargo tanks under the U.S. requirements for highway
transport, the mutual recognition of standard pressure receptacles
(cylinders), and mutual recognition of DOT special permits and
Transport Canada equivalency certificates.
--PHMSA proposes to address the cargo tank initiative by authorizing
facilities in Canada that hold a Certificate of Authorization for
repair from a provincial pressure vessel jurisdiction to repair DOT
specification cargo tanks that are used to transport hazardous
materials in the United States. PHMSA further proposes to except those
facilities from registering in accordance with part 107 subpart F of
the HMR provided they are registered in accordance with the Transport
Canada TDG Regulations. This proposed authority and exception would
provide carriers with additional access to repair facilities in Canada
without jeopardizing the DOT specification of a cargo tank and broaden
reciprocity with Canada, which already recognizes repairs of TC
specification cargo tanks performed by authorized and registered
facilities in the United States.
--PHMSA proposes to address the cylinder initiative by authorizing the
filling, requalification, and use of cylinders manufactured in
accordance with the TDG Regulations that have a corresponding DOT
specification in the HMR. Mutual recognition of cylinder specifications
and requalification inspections will mean cylinder users that
frequently conduct business that crosses the border will not need to
maintain two sets of substantially similar cylinders.
--PHMSA proposes to address the equivalency certificate initiative by
amending the HMR to allow shipments offered in accordance with an
equivalency certificate to transit to their first destination without
having to apply for a duplicative special permit from PHMSA.
V. Amendments Not Being Considered for Adoption in This NPRM
PHMSA's goal in this rulemaking is to maintain consistency between
the HMR and the international requirements. We are not striving to make
the HMR identical to the international regulations but rather to remove
or avoid potential barriers to international transportation.
PHMSA proposes changes to the HMR based on amendments adopted in
the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, the 2017-2018
Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions, and Amendment 38-16 to the
IMDG Code. We are not, however, proposing to adopt all of the
amendments made to the various international standards into the HMR.
In many cases, amendments to the international recommendations and
regulations are not adopted into the HMR because the framework or
structure makes adoption unnecessary. In other cases, we have
addressed, or will address, the amendments in separate rulemaking
proceedings. If we have inadvertently omitted an amendment in this
NPRM, we will attempt to include the omission in the final rule;
however, our ability to make changes in a final rule is limited by
requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). In
some instances, we can adopt a provision inadvertently omitted in the
NPRM if it is clearly within the scope of changes proposed in the
notice. Otherwise, in order to provide opportunity for notice and
comment, the change must first be proposed in an NPRM.
The following is a list of notable amendments to the international
regulations that PHMSA is not considering for adoption in this NPRM:
Large Salvage Cylinders: The 17th Revised Edition of the
UN Model Regulations includes guidelines for Competent Authorities to
use when issuing approvals for salvage pressure
[[Page 61746]]
receptacles. These revisions are found in Chapter 1.2, 4.1, 5.4, and
6.2 of the UN Model Regulations. Specifically, these requirements
address the packaging, hazard communication, and safe transport of
salvage pressure receptacles, also known as salvage cylinders in the
United States. The 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations
includes changes to the definition and packaging allowances for salvage
cylinders. These changes authorize the use of a large salvage cylinder
with a water capacity not exceeding 3,000 L to transport a cylinder
with a water capacity up to 1,000 L. Salvage cylinders still require
approval by appropriate Competent Authorities.
The HMR currently address the packaging, hazard communication, and
safe transport of salvage cylinders in Sec. 173.3(d) and do not
require approval of the Associate Administrator to do so. PHMSA
considers the current salvage cylinder requirements in the HMR to
provide a sufficient level of safety and adequately address the
shipment of damaged and defective cylinders. It is appropriate that
larger salvage cylinders go through the existing approval process.
Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing changes to the current HMR
requirements for salvage cylinders.
Large Packagings for Waste Aerosols: The 19th Revised
Edition of the UN Model Regulations includes changes to the large
packaging requirements for waste aerosols. The most notable change was
to the packing group (PG) performance level required for large
packagings transporting waste aerosols--from PG III to PG II. The HMR
do not currently authorize the use of large packagings for aerosols.
Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing changes to the current HMR
requirements for large packagings for waste aerosols.
Table Tennis Balls: The 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations includes a special provision assigned to ``UN 2000,
Celluloid'' that excepts table tennis balls made of celluloid from the
requirements of the Model Regulations if the total net mass of each
table tennis ball does not exceed 3 grams and the net mass of table
tennis balls does not exceed 500 grams per package. In a previously
issued letter of interpretation (Ref. No. 14-0141), PHMSA stated that
``it is the opinion of this office that the entry for UN 2000 Celluloid
only applies when the material is in a pre-manufactured state i.e.
blocks, rod, rolls, sheets, tubes etc.'' We further stated: ``Based on
the information provided in your letter, including form and quantity of
celluloid contained in the table tennis balls, it is our determination
the table tennis balls are not in a quantity and form that pose an
unreasonable risk to health, safety or property during transportation
and, therefore, are not subject to regulation under the HMR.''
PHMSA maintains our position as stated in the letter of
interpretation (Ref. No. 14-0141) that table tennis balls are not
subject to the requirements of the HMR and that the ``UN 2000,
Celluloid'' entry only applies when the material is in a pre-
manufactured state (i.e. blocks rod, rolls, sheets, tubes, etc).
Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing changes to the current HMR
requirements to provide an exception for UN 2000.
IMO Portable Tank Marking: Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG
Code includes an amendment to require IMO portable tanks manufactured
before January 1, 2003, to be marked with an indication of the portable
tank instruction for which it meets the minimum test pressure, minimum
shell thickness, pressure relief requirements, and bottom opening
requirements (i.e., the appropriate portable tank instruction). This
change was made to clarify that the existing requirement for marking
portable tanks with the portable tank instruction either on the tank
itself or the tank data plate also applied to older IMO type portable
tanks manufactured before January 1, 2003. PHMSA did not adopt the
requirement for portable tanks to be marked with an indication of the
portable tank instruction to which they comply when this requirement
was first introduced. Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing changes to the
current HMR requirements for IMO type portable tank markings. PHMSA
notes, however, that portable tanks utilized in international
transportation will need to be marked with an indication of an
appropriate portable tank instruction.
Classification Inconsistencies: The 19th Revised Edition
of the UN Model Regulations includes text to address situations in
which a consignor who is aware, on the basis of test data, that a
substance listed by name in column 2 of the Dangerous Goods List in
Chapter 3.2 of the UN Model Regulations meets classification criteria
for a hazard class or division that is not identified in the list, may
with the approval of the competent authority consign the substance:
--Under the same UN number and name but with additional hazard
communication information as appropriate to reflect the additional
subsidiary risk(s) (e.g., documentation, label, placard) provided that
the primary hazard class remains unchanged and that any other transport
conditions (e.g., limited quantity, packing and tank provisions) that
would normally apply to substances possessing such a combination of
hazards are the same as those applicable to the substance listed; or
--Under the most appropriate generic or n.o.s. entry reflecting all
hazards.
The HMR, in Sec. Sec. 172.402(a)(2) and 172.202(a)(3), allow and
in most cases require hazardous materials exhibiting an additional
subsidiary hazard to be labeled with the subsidiary hazard and to have
the additional hazard described on shipping papers.
As detailed in the definition of Competent Authority Approval in
Sec. 107.1, specific regulations in subchapter A or C of the HMR are
considered Competent Authority Approvals. PHMSA generally does not
issue Competent Authority Approvals for situations already addressed by
the HMR. Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing such changes to the current
HMR requirements. Although PHMSA is not incorporating language
specifically requiring a Competent Authority Approval in situations
where a consignor has determined a substance has a different subsidiary
risk than those identified in the HMT, we maintain the power to do so
in order to facilitate commerce in situations where other competent
authorities or carriers require such a document be provided.
Filling Procedures for UN Pressure Receptacles: The 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations includes text in P200
requiring the filling of pressure receptacles to be carried out by
qualified staff using appropriate equipment and procedures. These
procedures are described as including checks of the following:
conformity of receptacles and accessories with the UN Model
Regulations, compatibility of the cylinder with the product to be
transported, absence of damage that might affect safety, compliance
with the degree or pressure of filling, and accuracy of marks and
identification. Additionally, five ISO standards concerning inspection
and filling of various cylinders were incorporated into P200.
Compliance with these filling procedures is considered met if the
appropriate ISO standard is applied.
The existing HMR requirements for filling procedures for pressure
receptacles provide a sufficient level of safety and adequately address
filling requirements for pressure vessels. Therefore, PHMSA is not
proposing changes to the current HMR requirements for the filling of
pressure receptacles nor the adoption of any of
[[Page 61747]]
the five ISO standards applicable to filling conditions and
inspections.
Intentionally Infected Animals: The 2017-2018 ICAO
Technical Instructions adopted changes to the classification framework
for infected live animals and animal materials. These changes are
intended to support consistent classification for infected animals and
animal materials. The issue was brought to the attention of the UN Sub-
Committee at its 48th session, but they were not able to ascertain the
impact of the changes made to the ICAO Technical Instructions or if
further changes were necessary to the UN Model Regulations. The
representative from ICAO who presented the paper noted they would come
back with an additional paper and clarifications at the next session.
As work at the UN Sub-Committee is still ongoing, PHMSA is not
proposing changes to the current HMR requirements for the
classification or transportation of infected live animals or animal
materials at this time.
Special Aircraft Operations: The 2017-2018 ICAO Technical
Instructions adopted changes to the general exceptions for hazardous
materials carried by an aircraft in special aircraft operations (e.g.,
air ambulance, search and rescue). These changes are to clarify that
hazardous materials involved in these special aircraft operations for
related purposes (e.g., training flights and positioning flights prior
to or after maintenance) are excepted from the ICAO Technical
Instructions as stated in Part 1, Chapter 1. On June 2, 2016, PHMSA
published a final rule [Docket No. PHMSA-2013-0225 (HM-218H); 81 FR
35483] that revised Sec. 175.1(d) (formerly Sec. 175.9(b)(4)) to
clarify that staging operations and other operations related to
dedicated air ambulance, firefighting, or search and rescue operations
are intended to be excepted from the HMR when in compliance with the
[Federal Aviation Regulations] (FAR).'' Accordingly, PHMSA and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) believe that the current special
aircraft operation's provisions in Sec. 175.1(d) sufficiently provide
the flexibility to allow for these types of flight activities (e.g.,
training flights and positioning flights prior to or after
maintenance). Therefore, PHMSA is not proposing changes to the current
HMR requirements for special aircraft operations.
Enhanced Safety Provisions for Lithium Batteries
Transported by Aircraft: The 2015-2016 Edition of the ICAO Technical
Instructions adopted enhanced safety provisions for lithium batteries
transported by aircraft, effective April 1, 2016. These amendments (1)
prohibit the transport of lithium ion cells and batteries as cargo on
passenger aircraft; (2) require all lithium ion cells and batteries to
be shipped at not more than a 30 percent state of charge on cargo-only
aircraft; and (3) limit the use of alternative provisions for small
lithium cell or battery shipments under 49 CFR 173.185(c). PHMSA is
considering adopting these amendments in a separate rulemaking. Further
information is available in the docket for this rulemaking [PHMSA-2016-
0014].
Sterilization Devices Containing Nitrogen Tetroxide or
Nitric Oxide: The 2017-2018 ICAO Technical Instructions adopted special
provision A211 to allow for the transport of sterilization devices that
contain small quantities of ``UN 1067, Nitrogen dioxide'' and ``UN
1660, Nitric oxide, compressed'' by both passenger and cargo aircraft.
We are not proposing incorporation of ICAO special provision A211 at
this time.
While we did not oppose the adoption of this provision at ICAO, we
did so recognizing that the transport environment and infrastructure is
much different in parts of the world outside of the United States; and
that consistent with our harmonization rulemaking considerations we
would assess how best to address this topic within the HMR. During the
time these amendments were being considered by ICAO, we received a
special permit application that detailed more specific information than
was available during the ICAO deliberations. Additionally, PHMSA
received a petition for rulemaking (P-1672) requesting PHMSA harmonize
with the recently adopted ICAO TI provisions for sterilization devices.
Based on the lack of broad applicability, the technically specific
nature of these devices and packaging systems, the significant toxicity
hazard and corresponding risk to air transport, and the benefit of
considering additional operational controls available to mitigate risk,
it is our determination that transport in accordance with the
provisions of ICAO special provision A211 are more suitably addressed
through PHMSA's Special Permit program.
Cylinders Containing Gases for Use in Fire Extinguishers
or Stationary Fire-Fighting Installations: In some cases cylinders that
are not a permanent component of a fire extinguisher or a stationary
fire-fighting installation are transported separately from these fire
extinguishers (e.g., prior to their use in the fire extinguisher or
stationary fire-fighting installation and for filling). At the 44th
session of the UN Sub-Committee, it was agreed that when the cylinder
containing the compressed gas is transported separately, it should be
subject to the same requirements as conventional cylinders.
On July 26, 2016, PHMSA published a NPRM [Docket No. PHMSA-2011-
0140 (HM-234); 81 FR 48977] proposing to revise the Sec. 173.309
introductory text to include cylinders used as part of a fire
suppression system as a cylinder type authorized for transport in
accordance with the HMT entry for fire extinguishers. The HM-234 NPRM
notes the controls detailed in Sec. 173.309 provide an acceptable
level of safety regardless of whether the cylinder is equipped for use
as a handheld fire extinguisher or as a component of a fixed fire
suppression system.
As this issue is already being considered in an open rulemaking, we
are not proposing to make any changes to the transport provisions for
fire extinguishers or cylinders used in fire extinguishers. All
comments, including potential impacts arising from differing domestic
and international requirements, concerning transport requirements for
cylinders used in fire extinguishers should be submitted to the HM-234
docket (Docket No. PHMSA-2011-0140) at https://www.regulations.gov.
VI. Section-By-Section Review
The following is a section-by-section review of the amendments
proposed in this NPRM:
Part 107
Section 107.502
Section 107.502 provides general requirements for the registration
of cargo tank and cargo tank motor vehicle manufacturers, assemblers,
repairers, inspectors, testers, and design certifying engineers. In
this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph (b) to provide an
exception from the registration requirements for certain persons
engaged in the repair, as defined in Sec. 180.403, of DOT
specification cargo tanks by facilities in Canada in accordance with
the proposed Sec. 180.413(a)(1)(iii) in this NPRM. Persons engaged in
the repair of cargo tanks in Canada are required to register in
accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations as the Canadian
registration requirements are substantially equivalent to those in part
107 subpart F of the HMR. The registration information is available on
Transport Canada's Web site at https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/3/fdr-rici/highway/tanks.aspx. The Transport Canada TDG Regulations
except persons
[[Page 61748]]
repairing TC specification cargo tanks at facilities in the United
States from registering in Canada if they are registered in accordance
with part 107 subpart F.
Therefore, PHMSA believes that requiring the registration of
Canadian cargo tank repair facilities authorized by the proposed Sec.
180.413(a)(1)(iii) would be unnecessarily duplicative and that
excepting them from registering in accordance with part 107 subpart F
would augment reciprocity without negatively impacting safety. See
``Harmonization Proposals in this NPRM'' and the Sec. 180.413 entry in
the ``Section-by-Section Review'' of this document for additional
background and discussion of this proposal.
Section 107.801
Section 107.801 prescribes approval procedures for persons seeking
to engage in a variety of activities regulated by PHMSA (i.e.,
independent inspection agencies, cylinder requalification). In this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (a)(2) to include provisions
for persons seeking approval to engage in the requalification,
rebuilding, or repair of a cylinder manufactured in accordance with a
Transport Canada (TC), Canadian Transportation Commission (CTC), Board
of Transport Commissioners for Canada (BTC) or Canadian Railway
Commission (CRC) specification under the Transport Canada TDG
Regulations. Persons engaged in the requalification, rebuilding, or
repair of TC, CTC, CRC, or BTC specification cylinders in the U.S. are
required to register with DOT in accordance with this subpart. PHMSA
will issue a new approval or revise an existing one to reflect the
applicant's intent to requalify TC cylinders. Upon approval, the
Requalifier Identification Number (RIN) holder must mark the TC
cylinder in accordance with applicable Transport Canada TDG Regulations
except that the requalifier's registered mark shall be replaced with
the DOT RIN. See the discussion of proposed changes to Sec. 107.805
for additional requirements and exceptions.
Section 107.805
Section 107.805 prescribes the requirements cylinder and pressure
receptacle requalifiers need to meet in order to be approved by PHMSA.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (a) to authorize
prospective requalifiers to obtain approval by PHMSA to inspect, test,
certify, repair, or rebuild TC specification cylinders; to amend
paragraph (c)(2) to ensure the types of TC cylinders intended to be
inspected, tested, repaired, or rebuilt at the facility are included in
the application for approval to PHMSA; and to amend paragraph (d) to
include various TC cylinders to the list of cylinders requiring
issuance of a RIN to requalifiers.
PHMSA also proposes to amend paragraph (f) to recognize facilities
authorized by Transport Canada to requalify comparable DOT
specification cylinders, as well as DOT RIN holders to requalify
comparable Transport Canada cylinders subject to modification of their
existing approval. PHMSA recognizes that Transport Canada's approval
and registration requirements are substantially equivalent to the
requirements in 49 CFR part 107 subpart I and provide an equivalent
level of safety. In addition, traceability is maintained based on
Transport Canada's publicly available Web site at https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/saf-sec-sur/3/fdr-rici/cylinder/requalifier.aspx,
which allows tracing of a DOT specification cylinder marked with a
Transport Canada assigned requalifier's registered mark back to the
appropriate requalification facility.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ The search function on Transport Canada's Web site allows
users to search for the registered mark of requalifiers. Searching
by the registered mark found on a cylinder will allow interested
parties to verify that the cylinder was requalified by a facility
certified by Transport Canada.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed addition of paragraph (f)(2) would allow persons who
are already registered with PHMSA to perform requalification functions
on DOT specification cylinders to register to requalify corresponding
TC cylinder specifications without additional review by an independent
inspection agency. Specifications considered equivalent are identified
in the preamble to this notice (see Table 1 in Sec. 171.12
discussion). Applicants would be required to submit all of the
information prescribed in Sec. 107.705(a) that identifies the TC, CTC,
CRC, or BTC specification cylinder(s) or tube(s) to be inspected;
certifies the requalifier will operate in compliance with the
applicable TDG regulations; and certifies the persons performing
requalification have been trained in the functions applicable to the
requalifier activities.
The proposed addition of paragraph (f)(3) would allow persons who
are already registered with Transport Canada to requalify corresponding
DOT specification cylinders without additional application to PHMSA for
approval. This proposed exception would provide cylinder owners with
additional access to repair and requalification facilities in Canada,
while also broadening reciprocity with Canada.
Part 171
Section 171.2
Section 171.2 prescribes general requirements for each person
performing functions covered by this subchapter. PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraph (h)(1) by adding the letters ``TC,'' ``CRC,'' and
``BTC'' to the list of specification indications that may not be
misrepresented according to Sec. 171.2(g). This is necessary as a
result of proposed amendments in Sec. 171.12 authorizing the use of
various Transport Canada approved specification cylinders under certain
conditions.
Section 171.7
Section 171.7 provides a listing of all voluntary consensus
standards incorporated by reference into the HMR, as directed by the
``National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1996.'' According
to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Circular A-119, ``Federal
Participation in the Development and Use of Voluntary Consensus
Standards and in Conformity Assessment Activities,'' government
agencies must use voluntary consensus standards wherever practical in
the development of regulations. Agency adoption of industry standards
promotes productivity and efficiency in government and industry,
expands opportunities for international trade, conserves resources,
improves health and safety, and protects the environment.
PHMSA actively participates in the development and updating of
consensus standards through representation on more than 20 consensus
standard bodies and regularly reviews updated consensus standards and
considers their merit for inclusion in the HMR. For this rulemaking, we
evaluated updated international consensus standards pertaining to
proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special
provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport quantity
limitations, and vessel stowage requirements and determined that the
revised standards provide an enhanced level of safety without imposing
significant compliance burdens. These standards have well-established
and documented safety histories, and their adoption will maintain the
high safety standard currently achieved under the HMR. Therefore, in
this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to add and revise the following incorporation
by reference materials:
[[Page 61749]]
Paragraph (t)(1), which incorporates the International
Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe
Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, 2015-2016 Edition, would be
revised to incorporate the 2017-2018 Edition. The International Civil
Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of
Dangerous Goods by Air contain detailed instructions necessary for the
safe international transport of dangerous goods by air. The ICAO TI
supports the broad principles by establishing requirements necessary to
ensure hazardous materials are safely transported in aircraft while
providing a level of safety that protects the aircraft and its
occupants from undue risk.
Paragraph (v)(2), which incorporates the International
Maritime Organization International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, 2014
Edition, Incorporating Amendment 37-14, English Edition, Volumes 1 and
2, would be revised to incorporate the 2016 Edition, Amendment 38-16.
The International Maritime Organization International Maritime
Dangerous Goods Code is intended to provide for the safe transportation
of hazardous materials by vessel, protect crew members and to prevent
marine pollution. The Code is based on the UN Model Regulations, but
also includes additional requirements applicable to the transport of
hazardous materials by sea (e.g., requirements for marine pollutants;
freight container loading procedures; stowage and segregation; and
other requirements applicable to shipboard safety and preservation of
the marine environment) that are not covered by the UN Model
Regulations.
Paragraph (w), which incorporates various International
Organization for Standardization entries, would be revised to
incorporate by reference standards for the specification, design,
construction, testing, and use of gas cylinders:
--ISO 3807:2013 Gas cylinders--Acetylene cylinders--Basic requirements
and type testing is proposed for incorporation in paragraph (w)(16).
ISO 3807:2013 specifies the basic and type testing requirements for
acetylene cylinders with and without fusible plugs with a maximum
nominal water capacity of 150 L (39.62 gallons) and requirements
regarding production/batch test procedures for manufacturing of
acetylene cylinders with porous material.
--ISO 7866:2012 Gas cylinders--Refillable seamless aluminium alloy gas
cylinders--Design, construction and testing; and ISO 7866:2012/Cor
1:2014 Gas cylinders--Refillable seamless aluminium alloy gas
cylinders--Design, construction and testing, Technical Corrigendum 1
are proposed for incorporation in paragraphs (w)(27) and (w)(28). ISO
7866:2012 specifies minimum requirements for the material, design,
construction and workmanship, manufacturing processes and tests at time
of manufacture of refillable seamless aluminium alloy gas cylinders of
water capacities up to and including 150 L (39.62 gallons) for
compressed, liquefied and dissolved gases for worldwide use.
--ISO 11114-2:2013 Gas cylinders--Compatibility of cylinder and valve
materials with gas contents--Part 2: Non-metallic materials is proposed
for incorporation in paragraph (w)(48). ISO 11114-2:2013 gives guidance
in the selection and evaluation of compatibility between non-metallic
materials for gas cylinders and valves and the gas contents. It also
covers bundles, tubes and pressure drums.
--ISO 9809-4:2014 Gas cylinders--Refillable seamless steel gas
cylinders--Design, construction and testing--Part 4: Stainless steel
cylinders with an Rm value of less than 1 100 MPa is proposed for
incorporation in paragraph (w)(36). ISO 9809-4:2014 specifies the
minimum requirements for the material, design, construction and
workmanship, manufacturing processes, examinations, and tests at
manufacture of refillable seamless stainless steel gas cylinders of
water capacities from 0.5 L (.13 gallons) up to and including 150 L
(39.62 gallons) for compressed, liquefied, and dissolved gases.
--ISO 10297:2014 Gas cylinders--Cylinder valves--Specification and type
testing is proposed for incorporation in paragraph (w)(42). ISO
10297:2014 specifies design, type testing and marking requirements for:
(a) Cylinder valves intended to be fitted to refillable transportable
gas cylinders; (b) main valves (excluding ball valves) for cylinder
bundles; (c) cylinder valves or main valves with integrated pressure
regulator (VIPR); which convey compressed, liquefied or dissolved
gases.
--ISO 10462:2013 Gas cylinders--Transportable cylinders for dissolved
acetylene--Periodic inspection and maintenance is proposed for
incorporation in paragraph (w)(44). ISO 10462:2013 specifies
requirements for the periodic inspection of acetylene cylinders as
required for the transport of dangerous goods and for maintenance in
connection with periodic inspection. It applies to acetylene cylinders
with and without solvent and with a maximum nominal water capacity of
150 L (39.62 gallons).
--ISO 11119-1:2012 Gas cylinders--Refillable composite gas cylinders
and tubes--Design, construction and testing--Part 1: Hoop wrapped fibre
reinforced composite gas cylinders and tubes up to 450 l; ISO 11119-
2:2012 Gas cylinders--Refillable composite gas cylinders and tubes--
Design, construction and testing--Part 2: Fully wrapped fibre
reinforced composite gas cylinders and tubes up to 450 l with load-
sharing metal liners; ISO 11119-2:2012/Amd 1:2014 Gas cylinders--
Refillable composite gas cylinders and tubes--Design, construction and
testing--Part 2: Fully wrapped fibre reinforced composite gas cylinders
and tubes up to 450 l with load-sharing metal liners; and ISO 11119-
3:2013 Gas cylinders--Refillable composite gas cylinders and tubes--
Design, construction and testing--Part 3: Fully wrapped fibre
reinforced composite gas cylinders and tubes up to 450 l with non-load-
sharing metallic or non-metallic liners are proposed for incorporation
in paragraphs (w)(54), (w)(56), (w)(57), and (w)(59), respectively. ISO
11119-1:2012, ISO 11119-2:2012, and ISO 11119-3:2013 specify
requirements for composite gas cylinders and tubes between 0.5 L (39.62
gallons) and 450 L (119 gallons) water capacity, for the storage and
conveyance of compressed or liquefied gases.
--ISO 11515:2013 Gas cylinders--Refillable composite reinforced tubes
of water capacity between 450 L and 3000 L--Design, construction and
testing is proposed for incorporation in paragraph (w)(62). ISO
11515:2013 specifies minimum requirements for the design, construction
and performance testing of composite reinforced tubes between 450 L
(119 gallons) and 3,000 L (792.5 gallons) water capacity, for
transport, storage and use of compressed or liquefied gases with test
pressures up to and including 1600 bar with a design life of at least
15 years and less than or equal to 30 years.
Paragraph (bb)(1), which incorporates the Transport Canada
Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations, would add subparagraphs
(xiii), (xiv), (xv), (xvi), (xvii), (xviii), and (xix) to include SOR/

published December 31, 2014; SOR/2014-306 Erratum published January 28,
2015; and SOR/2015-100 published May 20, 2015, respectively. The
Transport Canada Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations proposed
for incorporation in this NPRM are updates to the existing
Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations and cover all updates
made by Transport Canada between January 2014-May 2015.
Paragraph (dd)(1), which incorporates the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Model Regulations,
18th Revised Edition (2013), Volumes I and II, would be revised to
incorporate the 19th Revised Edition (2015), Volumes I and II. The
United Nations Model Regulations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods
provide a basis for development of harmonized regulations for all modes
of transport, in order to facilitate trade and the safe, efficient
transport of hazardous materials.
Paragraph (dd)(2), which incorporates the United Nations
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Manual of Tests
and Criteria, 5th Revised Edition (2009), would be revised to
incorporate the 6th Revised Edition (2015). The Manual of Tests and
Criteria contains criteria, test methods and procedures to be used for
classification of dangerous goods according to the provisions of Parts
2 and 3 of the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods, Model Regulations, as well as of chemicals presenting
physical hazards according to the Globally Harmonized System of
Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
Paragraph (dd)(3) would be added to incorporate the United
Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods, Globally
Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS),
6th Revised Edition (2015). Section 172.401 references the
incorporation by reference of the GHS in Sec. 171.7; however, this
entry does not currently appear in Sec. 171.7. The proposed addition
of this paragraph would correct this oversight. The Globally Harmonized
System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), addresses
classification of chemicals by types of hazard and proposes harmonized
hazard communication elements, including labels and safety data sheets.
It aims at ensuring that information on physical hazards and toxicity
from chemicals be available in order to enhance the protection of human
health and the environment during the handling, transport and use of
these chemicals. The GHS also provides a basis for harmonization of
rules and regulations on chemicals at national, regional and worldwide
level, an important factor also for trade facilitation.
Section 171.8
Section 171.8 defines terms generally used throughout the HMR that
have broad or multi-modal applicability. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes
to add the following terms and definitions:
Design life: PHMSA proposes to add the term ``design
life'' to define the maximum life of composite cylinders and tubes.
This term is specifically limited to references in the HMR related to
composite cylinders and tubes.
SAPT: PHMSA proposes to add the term ``SAPT'' and a
reference to Sec. 173.21(f). SAPT means self-accelerated
polymerization temperature. See Sec. 173.21(f) of this subchapter.
This is consistent with the similar term SADT (self-accelerated
decomposition temperature).
Service life: PHMSA proposes to add the term ``service
life'' to define the number of years a composite cylinder or tube is
permitted to be in service. This term is specifically limited to
references in the HMR related to composite cylinders and tubes.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to amend the definitions for the
following terms:
Aerosol: PHMSA proposes to revise the definition of
``aerosol'' to clarify that it is an article. Currently under the HMR,
an aerosol is considered to be an article and therefore the use of
inner packagings in a combination package in not necessary. However,
practice has shown that an aerosol is often mistaken for the inner
packaging of a combination packaging, including both the substance
dispensed (liquid, paste, or powder) and the propellant gas itself.
Large salvage packaging: PHMSA proposes to revise the
definition of ``large salvage packaging'' to add a reference to non-
conforming hazardous materials packages to be consistent with the
wording in the definition of ``salvage packaging.''
UN tube: PHMSA proposes to revise the definition of ``UN
tube,'' which describes it as a seamless pressure receptacle, to
specify that the term includes composite cylinders.
Section 171.12
Section 171.12 prescribes requirements for the use of the Transport
Canada TDG Regulations. Under the U.S.-Canada RCC, which was
established in 2011 by the President of the United States and the
Canadian Prime Minister, PHMSA and Transport Canada, with input from
stakeholders, identified impediments to cross-border transportation of
hazardous materials. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to address these
barriers by amending the HMR to expand recognition of cylinders, cargo
tank repair facilities, and equivalency certificates in accordance with
the TDG Regulations.
The HMR in Sec. 171.12(a)(1) provide general authorizations to use
the TDG Regulations for hazardous materials transported from Canada to
the United States, from the United States to Canada, or through the
United States to Canada or a foreign destination. PHMSA proposes to
amend Sec. 171.12(a)(1) to authorize the use of a Transport Canada
equivalency certificate for such road or rail transportation of a
hazardous material shipment. Consistent with existing authorizations to
utilize the TDG Regulations for transportation from Canada to the
United States, the proposed authorization to use a Transport Canada
equivalency certificate only applies until the shipment's initial
transportation ends. In other words, once a shipment offered in
accordance with a Transport Canada equivalency certificate reaches the
destination shown on either a transport document or package markings,
transportation under the authorization in Sec. 171.12 has ended. Any
subsequent offering of packages imported under a Transport Canada
equivalency certificate would have to be done in full compliance with
the HMR. Transport Canada is proposing amendments to the TDG
Regulations to authorize similar reciprocal treatment of PHMSA special
permits.
The HMR in Sec. 171.12(a)(4) authorize the transportation of a
cylinder authorized by the Transport Canada TDG Regulations to, from,
or within the United States. Currently this authorization is limited to
Canadian Transport Commission (CTC) cylinders corresponding to a DOT
specification cylinder and UN pressure receptacles marked with ``CAN.''
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (a)(4)(ii) authorizing
the use of Canadian manufactured cylinders. Specifically, PHMSA
proposes to authorize the transportation of CTC, CRC, BTC, and TC
cylinders that have a corresponding DOT specification cylinder
prescribed in the HMR.
This proposal does not remove or amend existing requirements for
DOT specification cylinders; rather, PHMSA proposes to provide that a
shipper may use either a DOT specification cylinder or a TC cylinder as
appropriate. The goal of these amendments is to promote
[[Page 61751]]
flexibility; to permit the use of advanced technology for the
requalification and use of pressure receptacles; to provide for a
broader selection of authorized pressure receptacles; to reduce the
need for special permits; and to facilitate cross-border transportation
of these cylinders.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (a)(4) to authorize
the filling, maintenance, testing, and use of CTC, CRC, BTC, and TC
cylinders that have a corresponding DOT specification cylinder as
prescribed in HMR. This authorization will extend the recognition of
cylinders manufactured in Canada to be filled, used, and requalified
(including rebuild, repair, reheat-treatment) in the United States in
accordance with the TDG Regulations.
Table 1 lists the Canadian cylinders with the corresponding DOT
specification cylinders:

A U.S.-based facility is permitted to refill and use a cylinder
marked as meeting CTC specification provided it complies with the
applicable requirements specified in Sec. 171.12. In accordance with
Sec. 171.12(a)(4), when the provisions of subchapter C of the HMR
require that a DOT specification or a UN pressure receptacle must be
used for a hazardous material, a packaging authorized by Transport
Canada's TDG Regulations may be used only if it corresponds to the DOT
specification or UN standard authorized by this subchapter.
If implemented, the proposed actions described above would resolve
many of the existing reciprocity issues, streamline the processing of
Canadian cylinders within the United States, and alleviate unnecessary
burdens on the transportation industry. DOT RIN holders may requalify
and mark a TC cylinder in accordance with applicable TDG Regulations,
including the application of metric markings.
Section 171.23
Section 171.23 prescribes requirements for specific materials and
packagings transported under the various international standards
authorized by the HMR. PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (a) to add TC,
CTC, BTC, or CRC specification cylinders to the list of cylinders which
may be transported to from or within the United States.
Part 172
Section 172.101
Section 172.101 provides the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT), as
well as instructions for its use. Readers should review all changes for
a complete understanding of the amendments. For purposes of the
Government Printing Office's typesetting procedures, proposed changes
to the HMT appear under three sections of the Table: ``remove,''
``add,'' and ``revise.'' Certain entries in the HMT, such as those with
revisions to the proper shipping names, appear as a ``remove'' and
``add.'' In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend the HMT for the
following:
New HMT entries:
UN 0510 Rocket Motors, Division 1.4C
This new HMT entry is the result of packaged products of low power
``Rocket motors'' that typically meet test criteria for assignment to
Division 1.4, Compatibility Group C, but are assigned to 1.3C (i.e., UN
0186) or the 1.4C n.o.s. classification (i.e., UN 0351). This 1.4
rocket motor entry accurately reflects the product type and hazard of
these articles and allows for the assignment of specific packaging
instructions. With the addition of an internationally recognized proper
shipping name and identification number, PHMSA is considering the
removal of the existing HMT entry ``NA 0276, Model rocket motor.'' We
specifically solicit comment on the potential impact of removing the
existing ``NA 0276'' 1.4C HMT entry.
UN 3527 Polyester resin kit, solid base material
This new HMT entry addresses polyester resin kits with a base
material that does not meet the definition of Class 3 (Flammable
liquid) and is more appropriately classed as a Division 4.1 (Flammable
solid). Presently, polyester resin kits are limited to those with a
Class 3 liquid base material component and are assigned under the entry
UN 3269. This new entry permits products with a viscous base component
containing a flammable solvent that
[[Page 61752]]
does not meet the definition of a flammable liquid but does meet the
definition of a flammable solid.
UN 3528 Engine, internal combustion, flammable liquid
powered or Engine, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered or Machinery,
internal combustion, flammable liquid powered or Machinery, fuel cell,
flammable liquid powered
UN 3529 Engine, internal combustion, flammable gas powered
or Engine, fuel cell, flammable gas powered or Machinery, internal
combustion, flammable gas powered or Machinery, fuel cell, flammable
gas powered
UN 3530 Engine, internal combustion or Machinery, internal
combustion
These new HMT entries apply to the fuel contained in engines and
machinery powered by Class 3 flammable liquids, Division 2.1 gases, and
Class 9 environmentally hazardous substances. The previous entry
applicable to these articles, UN 3166, is now applicable to vehicles
only. As a result of the new ``Engine'' and ``Machinery'' entries, the
entries ``UN 3166, Engines, internal combustion, or Engines, fuel cell,
flammable gas powered'' and ``UN 3166, Engines internal combustion, or
Engines, fuel cell, flammable liquid powered'' are removed.
UN 3531 Polymerizing substance, solid, stabilized, n.o.s.
UN 3532 Polymerizing substance, liquid, stabilized, n.o.s.
UN 3533 Polymerizing substance, solid, temperature
controlled, n.o.s.
UN 3534 Polymerizing substance, liquid, temperature
controlled, n.o.s.
These new Division 4.1 HMT entries are added for polymerizing
substances that do not meet the criteria for inclusion in any other
hazard class.
Catecholborane (also known as 1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole)
At the ICAO DGP/25 meeting, the Panel was informed of an incident
involving Catecholborane (also known as 1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole) that
resulted in an industry recommendation to forbid transport of the
substance by air unless transported in pressure receptacles and under
cooled conditions. The material was classified as ``UN 2924, Flammable
liquid, corrosive, n.o.s.'' The product properties indicated (1) that
the substance decomposes to borane gas at a rate of 2 percent per week
at room temperature, (2) that borane gas could ignite when in contact
with moist air, and (3) that catecholborane could react violently with
water. The incident occurred after transport of the substance was
delayed for nine days as the result of extreme weather conditions with
temperatures consistently above 33 [deg]C (91[emsp14][deg]F). After
being stored for approximately two weeks at a low temperature at the
destination, several bottles containing the substance exploded and
caught fire. It was concluded that moist air entered the bottles during
the long transit time under high temperatures causing a chemical
reaction and pressure build up. Panel members suspected a
classification problem, but they could not determine whether this was
due to shipper error or a limitation in the classification criteria in
the regulations. The issue was submitted to the attention of the UN
Sub-Committee at the December 2016 meeting for further review and
determination if a new classification was required. In the interim, a
new light type entry was added to the ICAO Technical Instructions
Dangerous Goods List with a new special provision (A210) assigned to
``Catecholborane'' and ``1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole'' forbidding the
substance for transport by air on both passenger and cargo aircraft.
Transport on cargo aircraft would be possible with the approval of the
State of Origin and State of the Operator.
Consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions, PHMSA proposes to
add new HMT entries in italics for ``Catecholborane'' and ``1, 3, 2-
Benzodioxaborole'' and to assign a new special provision A210
clarifying that this material is forbidden for air transport unless
approved by the Associate Administrator.
Amendments to column (2) hazardous materials descriptions and
proper shipping names:
Section 172.101(c) describes column (2) of the HMT and the
requirements for hazardous materials descriptions and proper shipping
names.
PHMSA proposes to amend the proper shipping name for ``UN
3269, Polyester resin kit'' by adding the italicized text ``liquid base
material.'' This is consistent with the format of the new HMT entry for
polyester resin kits with a solid base material.
PHMSA proposes to amend the proper shipping names for ``UN
3151, Polyhalogenated biphenyls, liquid or Polyhalogenated terphenyls,
liquid'' and ``UN 3152, Polyhalogenated biphenyls, solid or
Polyhalogenated terphenyls, solid'' by adding ``Halogenated
monomethyldiphenylmethanes, liquid'' and ``Halogenated
monomethyldiphenylmethanes, solid,'' respectively. Noting that
halogenated monomethyldiphenylmethanes have similar chemical and
ecotoxicological properties as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and
polychlorinated terphenyls (PCTs), we propose this revision to ensure
that they are considered as PCBs or PCTs for the purposes of transport.
Amendments to column (3) hazard class or division:
Section 172.101(d) describes column (3) of the HMT and the
designation of the hazard class or division corresponding to each
proper shipping name.
PHMSA proposes to revise the hazard class of ``UN 3507, Uranium
hexafluoride, radioactive material, excepted package, less than 0.1 kg
per package, non-fissile or fissile-excepted,'' from Class 8 to
Division 6.1 and subsequently to add the Class 8 hazard as a subsidiary
hazard label code in column (6). This revision is based on the
precedence provisions for classification of materials possessing more
than one hazard and is consistent with the 19th Revised Edition of the
UN Model Regulations. The presence of a Division 6.1 hazard was
determined following a thorough review of literature and test data on
uranium hexafluoride. A summary of the data and a proposal to revise
the primary hazard class from Class 8 to Division 6.1 was provided in
Working Paper ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/2014/60, which was submitted to the 45th
session of the UN Sub-Committee of Experts on the Transport of
Dangerous Goods and is available at https://www.unece.org/fileadmin/DAM/trans/doc/2013/dgac10c3/ST-SG-AC.10-C.3-2014-60e.pdf.
Amendments to column (6) label(s):
Section 172.101(g) describes column (6) of the HMT and the labels
required (primary and subsidiary) for specific entries in the HMT.
Data presented to the UNSCOE in this last biennium indicated a need
for the addition of a subsidiary hazard of Division 6.1 to be assigned
to ``UN 2815, N-Aminoethylpiperazine,'' ``UN 2977, Radioactive
material, uranium hexafluoride, fissile,'' and ``UN 2978, Radioactive
material, uranium hexafluoride non fissile or fissile-excepted.'' PHMSA
proposes to make appropriate amendments to the HMT to account for these
revisions to the UN Model Regulations.
For the HMT entry, ``UN 3507, Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive
material, excepted package, less than 0.1 kg per package, non-fissile
or fissile-excepted,'' PHMSA proposes to revise the labels for
consistency with the change made to the classification of this material
under amendments to column (3) (see above). The Class 8 (Corrosive)
primary hazard label would be revised to a Division 6.1 primary hazard
label and Class 8 subsidiary hazard label in
[[Page 61753]]
addition to the existing Class 7 (Radioactive) subsidiary hazard label
to read ``6.1, 7, 8.''
Amendments to column (7) special provisions:
Section 172.101(h) describes column (7) of the HMT whereas Sec.
172.102(c) prescribes the special provisions assigned to specific
entries in the HMT. The particular modifications to the entries in the
HMT are discussed below. See ``Section 172.102 special provisions''
below for a detailed discussion of the proposed additions, revisions,
and deletions to the special provisions addressed in this NPRM.
In this NPRM, new special provision 157 is proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entry ``UN 3527, Polyester resin kit, solid base
material.''
In this NPRM, new special provision 379 is proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entries ``UN1005, Ammonia, anhydrous'' and ``UN
3516, Adsorbed gas, toxic, corrosive, n.o.s.''
In the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations,
new special provision 386 was assigned to the four new ``n.o.s.'' HMT
entries for polymerizing substances and to the 52 named substances in
the HMT that polymerize, all of which contain the text ``stabilized''
as part of the proper shipping name, except for ``UN 2383,
Dipropylamine'' (see Table 2 below). This new special provision
includes transport controls to avoid dangerous polymerization reactions
including the use of chemical stabilization or temperature control.
In this NPRM, new special provision 387 (special provision 386
already exists) is proposed to be assigned to all 52 HMT entries.

[[Page 61754]]
In this NPRM, new special provision 422 is proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entries ``UN 3480, Lithium ion batteries including
lithium ion polymer batteries''; ``UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries
contained in equipment including lithium ion polymer batteries''; ``UN
3481 Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment including lithium ion
polymer batteries''; ``UN 3090, Lithium metal batteries including
lithium alloy batteries''; ``UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries contained
in equipment including lithium alloy batteries''; and ``UN3091, Lithium
metal batteries packed with equipment including lithium alloy
batteries.''
In this NPRM, special provision 134 is proposed to be
removed from the HMT entry ``UN 3072, Life-saving appliances, not self-
inflating containing dangerous goods as equipment'' and replaced with
new special provision 182. On January 8, 2015, PHMSA published a final
rule [Docket No. PHMSA-2013-0260 (HM-215M); 80 FR 1075] that added
special provision 134 to ``UN 3072.'' The intent of this action was to
harmonize with special provision A182 of the ICAO Technical
Instructions to clarify that equipment containing only lithium
batteries must be classified as either lithium batteries contained in
or packed with equipment ``UN 3091'' or ``UN 3481.'' In reviewing the
assignment of special provision 134 to ``UN 3072'' to make this
clarification, PHMSA found that the provisions of special provision 134
are not assigned to ``UN 3072'' in any international standard, but
rather to the entry for ``UN 3171, Battery-powered vehicle or Battery-
powered equipment.'' Although special provision 134 does require that
equipment powered only by lithium metal batteries or lithium ion
batteries must be consigned under the entries associated with lithium
batteries contained in or packed with equipment, the rest of special
provision 134 is not applicable to ``Life-saving appliances, not self-
inflating containing dangerous goods as equipment.'' As a result, PHMSA
proposes a new special provision 182 applicable only to the HMT entry
for ``UN 3072, Life-saving appliances, not self-inflating containing
dangerous goods as equipment'' to clarify that equipment containing
only lithium batteries must be classified as either lithium batteries
contained in or packed with equipment ``UN 3091'' or ``UN 3481,'' as
appropriate.
In this NPRM, new special provision A210 is proposed to be
assigned to the new HMT italicized entries for ``Catecholborane'' and
``1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole.''
In this NPRM, new special provision A212 is proposed to be
assigned to the HMT entry ``UN 2031, Nitric acid other than red fuming,
with more than 20 percent and less than 65 percent nitric acid.''
In this NPRM, new special provision B134 is proposed to be
assigned to the PG III entries in Table 4 to be consistent with
revisions to the IMDG Code.

In this NPRM, special provision TP1 is changed to TP2 for
the following entries: ``UN 2672, Ammonia solution, relative density
between 0.880 and 0.957 at 15 degrees C in water, with more than 10
percent but not more than 35 percent ammonia''; ``UN 2709, Butyl
benzenes''; ``UN 2241, Cycloheptane''; ``UN 1206, Heptanes''; ``UN
1208, Hexanes''; ``UN 2294, N-Methylaniline''; ``UN 2296,
Methylcyclohexane''; ``UN 1920, Nonanes''; ``UN 1262, Octanes''; ``UN
2368, alpha-Pinene''; ``UN 1272, Pine oil''; ``UN 2850, Propylene
tetramer''; ``UN 2325, 1,3,5-Trimethylbenzene''; ``UN 2057,
Tripropylene''; ``UN 1299, Turpentine''; and ``UN 1840, Zinc chloride,
solution.'' Tank provision TP2 authorizes a slightly lower degree of
filling than TP1. The IMDG Code follows a guiding principle that
assigns TP2 to materials that are marine pollutants. In a previous
harmonization rulemaking (HM-215M; 80 FR 1075), PHMSA added various
hazardous materials to the list of marine pollutants in appendix B to
Sec. 172.101, but both the HMT and IMDG Code failed to change the TP
code from TP1 to TP2 to authorize a lower degree of filling.
In this NPRM, special provisions T9, TP7, and TP33 are
proposed to be assigned to the HMT entry ``UN 1415, Lithium.'' This
permits UN 1415 for transportation in UN portable tanks consistent with
similar Division 4.3, PG I materials.
In this NPRM, new special provisions W31, W32, W40, and
W100 are proposed to certain water-reactive substances. The proposed
special provisions correspond with special packaging provisions PP31,
PP31 ``modified'' (Packing Instruction P403), PP40, and PP100 of the
IMDG Code, respectively. Table 6 contains the proposed changes listed
in alphabetical order and showing the proper shipping name, UN
identification number, and the proposed special provision(s).

Amendments to column (9) quantity limitations:
Section 172.101(j) describes column (9) of the HMT and the quantity
limitations for specific entries. Furthermore, columns (9A) and (9B)
specify the maximum quantities that may be offered for transportation
in one package by passenger-carrying aircraft or passenger-carrying
rail car (column (9A)) or by cargo-only aircraft (column (9B)). The
indication of ``forbidden'' means the material may not be offered for
transportation or transported in the applicable mode of transport.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes for column (9B) a quantity limit of 75
kg for ``UN 0501, Propellant, solid, Division 1.4C.'' Previously,
column (9B) forbid the transport of UN 0501 by cargo-only aircraft.
This new quantity limit is consistent with the authorized quantity
limit found in the ICAO Technical Instructions. In a working paper
submitted at the 25th meeting the ICAO DGP, it was noted that while all
other Division 1.4C explosives listed in the table were forbidden on
passenger aircraft, only UN 0501 was also forbidden on cargo aircraft.
A maximum net quantity of 75 kg per package was permitted on cargo
aircraft for all other Division 1.4C explosives. It was also reported
that a June 2015 meeting of the United Nations Working Group on
Explosives had determined that there were no differences between the
transport risks posed by UN 0501 and other Division 1.4C explosives.
Amendments to column (10) vessel stowage requirements:
Section 172.101(k) explains the purpose of column (10) of the HMT
and prescribes the vessel stowage and segregation requirements for
specific entries. Column (10) is divided into two columns: column (10A)
[Vessel stowage] specifies the authorized stowage locations on board
cargo and passenger vessels, and column (10B) [Other provisions]
specifies special stowage and segregation provisions. The meaning of
each code in column (10B) is set forth in Sec. 176.84 of this
subchapter.
Consistent with changes to Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code, PHMSA
proposes numerous changes to the vessel stowage location codes shown in
column (10A) of the HMT. The majority of these changes are a result of
those made to the IMDG Code to ensure the safe transportation of
substances requiring stabilization when transported by vessel. Table 7
contains the proposed changes listed in alphabetical order and showing
the proper shipping name, UN identification number, current vessel
stowage location code, and proposed vessel stowage location.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the addition of a Division 6.1 subsidiary hazard to ``UN 2815,
N-Aminoethylpiperazine,'' ``UN 2977, Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride, fissile,'' and ``UN 2978, Radioactive material, uranium
hexafluoride non fissile or fissile-excepted,'' PHMSA proposes that
code ``40,'' which indicates that the material must be stowed clear of
living quarters, be added to column (10B) for these entries to remain
consistent with the IMDG Code.
As a consequence of adding special provision 387, which addresses
stabilization requirements to 52 existing entries in the HMT that are
identified as requiring such, the IMO amended vessel stowage
requirements for these entries. PHMSA proposes to add code ``25'' to
column (10B) for the same 52 entries identified in Table 2. We note
that the IMDG Code did not assign stowage provisions equivalent to code
``25'' to ``UN 1167, Divinyl ether, stabilized'' or ``UN 2383,
Dipropylamine.'' Stowage code ``25'' requires these materials to be
protected from sources of heat. PHMSA believes the omission of this
stowage requirement in the IMDG Code to be an oversight, and we propose
to add stowage code ``25'' to these two HMR entries.
Code ``28'' requires materials to which this code is assigned to be
stowed away from flammable liquids. In this NPRM, consistent with
changes to the IMDG Code, PHMSA proposes to remove code ``28'' from
column (10B) for the following HMT entries: ``UN 2965, Boron
trifluoride dimethyl etherate''; ``UN 2988, Chlorosilanes, water-
reactive, flammable, corrosive, n.o.s''; ``UN 1183,
Ethyldichlorosilane''; ``UN 1242, Methyldichlorosilane''; ``UN 3490,
Toxic by inhalation liquid, water-reactive, flammable, n.o.s. with an
LC50 lower than or equal to 200 ml/m3 and saturated vapor concentration
greater than or equal to 500 LC50''; and ``UN 1295, Trichlorosilane.''
Appendix B to Sec. 172.101:
Appendix B to Sec. 172.101 lists marine pollutants regulated under
the HMR. PHMSA proposes to revise the list of marine pollutants by
adding six new entries to remain consistent with the IMDG Code. These
changes are proposed to include those substances that were either
assigned a ``P'' in the dangerous goods list or identified in the
alphabetical index to Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code--based on review
of evaluations for each individual material, and associated isomers
where appropriate, performed by the Group of Experts on the Scientific
Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP) and the GESAMP
defining criteria for marine pollutants. The following entries are
proposed to be added to the list of marine pollutants in appendix B to
Sec. 172.101: Hexanes; Hypochlorite solutions; Isoprene, stabilized;
N-Methylaniline; Methylcyclohexane; and Tripropylene.
Section 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. In this NPRM,
PHMSA proposes the following revisions to Sec. 172.102 special
provisions:
Special Provision 40: Special provision 40 prescribes the
criteria for classification of a ``Polyester resin kit.'' PHMSA
proposes to revise special provision 40 by authorizing a polyester
resin kit to contain a Division 4.1 base material consistent with the
new HMT entry ``UN 3527, Polyester resin kit, solid base material,
4.1.''
Special Provision 134: Special provision 134 prescribes
the applicability of the HMT entry ``UN 3171, Battery-powered vehicle
or Battery-powered equipment.'' PHMSA proposes to revise special
provision 134 by amending the list of battery powered vehicle examples
to include trucks, locomotives, bicycles (pedal cycles with an electric
motor) and other vehicles of this type (e.g., self-balancing vehicles
or vehicles not equipped with at least one seating position), and self-
propelled farming and construction equipment. In addition, PHMSA
proposes to organize the structure of the special provision into
paragraph form for ease of reading.
Special Provision 135: Special provision 135 specifies
that an internal combustion engine installed in a vehicle must be
consigned to the entries ``Vehicle, flammable gas powered'' or
``Vehicle, flammable liquid powered,'' as appropriate. PHMSA proposes
to revise special provision 135 by clarifying that vehicles powered by
both a flammable liquid and a flammable gas internal combustion engine
must be consigned to the entry ``Vehicle, flammable gas powered.'' In
addition, PHMSA proposes to revise special provision 135 by clarifying
that for the purpose of this special provision, a ``vehicle'' is a
self-propelled apparatus designed to carry one or more persons or
goods. A list of examples is provided.
Special Provision 157: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision 157 and assigning it to ``UN 3527, Polyester resin kit, solid
base material.'' The special provision would allow the maximum net
capacity for inner packagings of flammable solids in packing group II
to be increased to no more than 5 kg (11 pounds) when the material is
transported as a limited quantity.
Special Provision 181: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision 181 and assigning it to ``UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries
contained in equipment''; ``UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries packed with
equipment''; ``UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries contained in
equipment''; and ``UN 3091, Lithium metal batteries packed with
equipment.'' The special provision would specify that when lithium
cells or batteries packed with equipment and lithium cells or batteries
contained in equipment are packed in the same package, the shipping
paper (if used) and the package must use the ``packed with'' proper
shipping name and UN number. Further, all packaging requirements
applicable to both proper shipping names must be met and the total mass
of cells or batteries in the package must not exceed the quantity
[[Page 61760]]
limits specified in columns (9A) and (9B), as applicable.
Special Provision 182: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision 182 and assigning it to ``UN 3072, Life-saving appliances,
not self-inflating containing dangerous goods as equipment'' to clarify
that equipment containing only lithium batteries must be classified as
either UN 3091 or UN 3481, as appropriate.
Special Provision 238: Special provision 238 addresses the
shipment of neutron radiation detectors. PHMSA proposes to revise
special provision 238 to align with the UN Model Regulations special
provision 373 by permitting the packaging to contain ``absorbent'' or
``adsorbent'' material where the previous requirement permitted
``absorbent'' material only.
Special Provision 369: Special provision 369 prescribes
classification criteria, consignment instructions and transport
conditions for ``UN 3507, Uranium hexafluoride, radioactive material,
excepted package, less than 0.1 kg per package, non-fissile or fissile-
excepted.'' PHMSA proposes to revise special provision 369 in
conjunction with revising the primary classification for UN 3507 from
Class 8 to Division 6.1. Specifically, PHMSA proposes to clarify that
this radioactive material in an excepted package possessing toxic and
corrosive properties is classified in Division 6.1 with radioactive and
corrosive subsidiary risks.
Special Provision 379: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision 379 and assigning it to the HMT entries ``UN 1005, Ammonia,
anhydrous'' and ``UN 3516, Adsorbed gas, toxic, corrosive, n.o.s.''
This special provision is applicable to ammonia dispensers containing
adsorbed ammonia, which are used to reduce polluting nitrogen oxide
emissions from automobiles. The UN Sub-Committee found that the
substance contained in the receptacles did not meet any criteria for
classification in the Model Regulations, but it acknowledged that the
substance did fit the recent definition of an adsorbed gas. Based on
the stability of adsorption under normal transport conditions, an
exception for these dispensers was adopted subject to appropriate
packaging conditions. These materials are normally forbidden for
transport by air on passenger and cargo aircraft; however, consistent
with the ICAO Technical Instructions, PHMSA proposes to authorize them
on cargo aircraft subject to the transport conditions prescribed in the
special provision with additional approval of the Associate
Administrator.
Special Provision 387: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision 387 and assigning it to the four new ``n.o.s.'' polymerizing
substance HMT entries and to the 52 existing HMT entries that are
identified as requiring stabilization. This special provision sets
forth the transport conditions when stabilization, or prevention of
polymerization, is provided through the use of a chemical inhibitor.
When a substance is stabilized via use of a chemical inhibitor, it is
important to ensure that the level of stabilization is sufficient to
prevent the onset of a dangerous reaction under conditions normally
incident to transportation. This special provision requires a
determination that the degree of chemical stabilization employed at the
time the package, IBC, or tank is offered for transport must be
suitable to ensure that the sustained bulk mean temperature of the
substance in the package, IBC, or tank will not exceed 50 [deg]C
(122[emsp14][deg]F), under conditions normally incident to
transportation. The special provision also specifies that temperature
control is required at the point where chemical stabilization becomes
ineffective at lower temperatures within the anticipated duration of
transport. Consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions, PHMSA
proposes to clarify in special provision 387 that these substances are
forbidden for transport by air when temperature control is required.
Special Provision 422: PHMSA proposes to add new special
provision 422 to the HMT entries ``UN 3480, Lithium ion batteries
including lithium ion polymer batteries''; ``UN 3481, Lithium ion
batteries contained in equipment including lithium ion polymer
batteries''; ``UN 3481, Lithium ion batteries packed with equipment
including lithium ion polymer batteries''; ``UN 3090, Lithium metal
batteries including lithium alloy batteries''; ``UN 3091, Lithium metal
batteries contained in equipment including lithium alloy batteries'';
and ``Lithium metal batteries packed with equipment including lithium
alloy batteries.'' Special provision 422 states that the new lithium
battery Class 9 label shown in Sec. 172.447 is to be used for packages
containing lithium batteries that require labels. Consistent with the
UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes a transition period that would
authorize labels conforming to requirements in place on December 31,
2016 to continue to be used until December 31, 2018. Class 9 placards,
when used, must conform to the existing requirements in Sec. 172.560.
Special Provision A210: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision A210 and assigning it to the new italicized HMT entries
``Catecholborane'' and its synonym ``1, 3, 2-Benzodioxaborole.''
Consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions, this special provision
clarifies that this substance is forbidden for transport by air and may
only be transported on cargo aircraft with the approval of the
Associate Administrator.
Special Provision A212: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision A212 and assigning it to the to the HMT entry ``UN 2031,
Nitric acid other than red fuming, with more than 20 percent and less
than 65 percent nitric acid.'' Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, this special provision allows sterilization devices
containing nitric acid conforming to the conditions in the special
provision to be offered for transportation by passenger aircraft
irrespective of column (9A) of the Sec. 172.101 HMT listing the
material as forbidden.
Special Provision B134: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision B134 and assigning it to UN Numbers 1309, 1376, 1483, 1869,
2793, and 2878. When in Large Packagings offered for transport by
vessel, flexible or fiber inner packages containing these materials
would need to be sift-proof and water-resistant, or fitted with a sift-
proof and water-resistant liner. Consistent with the IMDG Code, these
provisions will increase the ability of these packages to perform their
containment function and reduce the likelihood of a fire on board cargo
vessels when used to transport substances that either generate large
amounts of heat or give off flammable or corrosive toxic gases on
contact with water or moisture.
Special Provision B135: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision B135 and assigning it to UN Numbers 1932, 2008, 2545, 2546,
2881, and 3189. When in Large Packagings offered for transport by
vessel, flexible or fiber inner packages containing these materials
would need to be hermetically sealed. Consistent with the IMDG Code,
these provisions will increase the ability of these packages to perform
their containment function and reduce the likelihood of a fire on board
cargo vessels when used to transport substances that either generate
large amounts of heat or give off flammable or corrosive toxic gases on
contact with water or moisture.
IP Code 19: PHMSA proposes to add a new IP Code 19 and
assign it to UN 3531, UN 3532, UN 3553, and UN 3534. Consistent with
international
[[Page 61761]]
regulations, this special provision would require that IBCs are
designed and constructed to permit the release of gas or vapor, thereby
preventing a build-up of pressure that could rupture the IBCs in the
event of loss of stabilization
Special Provision N90: Special provision N90 is assigned
to the HMT entry ``UN 3474, 1-Hydroxybenzotriazole, monohydrate'' and
prohibits the use of metal packages. PHMSA proposes, consistent with
the UN Model Regulations, to revise special provision N90 by clarifying
that the prohibition of metal packages does not include packagings
constructed of other material with a small amount of metal (e.g., metal
closures or other metal fittings). However, packagings constructed with
a small amount of metal must be designed such that the hazardous
material does not contact the metal.
Special Provision N92: PHMSA proposes adding special
provision N92 to the four proposed polymerizing substance, n.o.s.
entries. This special provision requires packages that are utilized for
the transportation of polymerizing substances to be designed and
constructed to permit the release of gas or vapor to prevent a build-up
of pressure that could rupture the packagings in the event of loss of
stabilization.
Special Provision W31: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision W31 and assigning it to the 155 HMT entries identified in
Table 6 in the ``Amendments to column (7) special provisions'' section
of this rulemaking. With the addition of this special provision, PHMSA
proposes to require packages assigned as such to be hermetically sealed
when offered for transportation by vessel.
The proposed addition of W31 to these commodities harmonizes the
HMR with changes made in Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code, as well as
the transportation requirements of the HMR with the IMDG Code for other
commodities where they were not previously harmonized. The IMDG Code
has had provisions in place equivalent to proposed W31 (PP31) for
certain commodities since at least 1998.\4\ Other hazardous materials
regulations (ICAO Technical Instructions, HMR, and UN Model
Regulations) do not currently contain provisions similar to W31.
Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code is adding this hermetically sealed
packaging requirement to 15 entries in its Dangerous Goods List (some
with multiple packing groups).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ These provisions have potentially been in place before 1998.
PHMSA reviewed hard copy IMDG Codes dating back to 1998 but was
unable to locate the origin of these provisions.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proposed amendment would reduce the risk of fire on board cargo
vessels carrying hazardous materials that can react dangerously with
the ship's available water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishing
systems. Some of the hazardous materials for which PHMSA is proposing
to amend the vessel transportation packaging requirements react with
water or moisture generating excessive heat or releasing toxic or
flammable gases. Common causes for water entering into the container
are: water entering through ventilation or structural flaws in the
container; water entering into the containers placed on deck or in the
hold in heavy seas; and water entering into the cargo space upon a ship
collision or leak. If water has already entered the container, the
packaging is the only protection from a potential fire.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to strengthen the ability of these
packages transporting water-reactive substances. PHMSA anticipates this
proposed amendment could result in additional costs to domestic-only
shippers but not to those shippers transporting such goods
internationally. We assume that all shippers that ship hazardous
materials internationally will incorporate IMDG Code-compliant
packaging requirements into their business practices. These proposed
amendments will increase costs for some domestic shipments of affected
commodities and will require materials currently transported in
packaging not already hermetically sealed to be thus packaged. Adoption
of these provisions will increase the ability of these packages to
perform their containment function and reduce the likelihood of a fire
on board cargo vessels when used to transport substances that either
generate large amounts of heat or give off flammable or toxic gases on
contact with water or moisture. A 2011 Formal Safety Assessment (FSA)
report presented to the IMO on shipping water-reactive materials by
vessel \5\ provides guidance regarding changes to the regulation of
such shipments, as well as the net benefit of such changes. The FSA
report notes that analysis of the documented cases of fire at sea
indicates that the cause of the accidents is often difficult or
impossible to determine. Although the cargo space is in some cases
identified as the origin of the fire, the originating container is only
identifiable in rare instances, and thus, there is no reliable data on
the involvement of water-reactive materials in these fires.
Additionally, in most cases, fires that start do not exceed the
containment of the container itself and extinguish on their own. These
self-extinguishing fires are usually not detected until the container
is unloaded at its destination and, thus, are rarely documented in any
relation to vessel or mode of shipment.\6\

Water-Reactive Materials--Report of the Formal Safety Assessment--
Submitted by Germany.'' Report No. SO-ER 2009.267A.
\6\ Ibid, p. 24.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Regarding the cost of reducing the risk of fire from water-exposure
of water-reactive materials by requiring water-resistant packaging, the
FSA report concluded that the costs in relation to the amount of
affected goods is likely to be high.\7\ However, the FSA expect that
this measure will affect only a small number of goods, which are
transported in small amounts, so that the costs in relation to the
total amount of all transported goods is likely to be low.\8\ PHMSA
recognizes that both the FSA report and our own Regulatory Impact
Analysis lack quantitative data on the true cost of this proposal, as
well as the amount of these hazardous materials currently transported
by vessel. We are specifically soliciting comment addressing any
estimates of the cost of compliance with these amendments and any
quantitative data on the amounts of the commodities affected by this
proposal that are currently offered for transportation by domestic
vessel.

Special Provision W32: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision W32 and assigning it to 38 HMT entries identified in Table 6
in the ``Amendments to column (7) special provisions'' section of this
rulemaking. With the addition of this special provision, PHMSA proposes
to require packages assigned this special provision to be hermetically
sealed, except for solid fused material, when offered for
transportation by vessel. The 38 entries to which this addition are
proposed are already required to be packaged in this manner in
accordance with the IMDG Code through a modified PP31 (when compared to
the PP31 mentioned in the W31 discussion above) assigned to various
packing instructions. See the comments in the W31 discussion above for
more discussion on the reasons for this proposed amendment.
Special Provision W40: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision W40 and assigning it to 38 HMT entries identified in Table 6
in the ``Amendments to column (7) special provisions'' section of this
rulemaking.
[[Page 61762]]
With the addition of this special provision, PHMSA proposes to prohibit
the use of bags when offered for transportation by vessel. See the
comments in the W31 discussion above for more discussion on the reasons
for this proposed amendment.
Special Provision W100: PHMSA proposes adding new special
provision W100 and assigning it to 27 HMT entries identified in Table 6
in the ``Amendments to the column (7) special provisions'' section of
this rulemaking. With the addition of this special provision, PHMSA
proposes to require flexible, fiberboard, or wooden packagings that are
assigned this special provision to be sift-proof and water-resistant,
or to be fitted with a sift-proof and water-resistant liner. These
proposed amendments are intended to ensure that water-reactive
materials transported by vessel are in packages that provide an
appropriate level of protection from the ingress of water. See the
comments in the W31 discussion above for more discussion on the reasons
for this proposed amendment.
Section 172.407
Section 172.407 prescribes specifications for labels. On January 8,
2015, PHMSA published a final rule [Docket No. PHMSA-2013-0260 (HM-
215M); 80 FR 1075] that required labels to have a solid line forming
the inner border 5 mm from the outside edge of the label and a minimum
line width of 2 mm. Transitional exceptions were provided allowing
labels authorized prior to this rulemaking to be used until December
31, 2016.
The rulemaking authorized a reduction in label dimensions and
features if the size of the packaging so requires. This allowance for
reduction in label dimensions, consistent with the requirements for
standard size labels, was contingent on the solid line forming the
inner border remaining 5 mm from the outside edge of the label and the
minimum width of the line remaining 2 mm. PHMSA has become aware that
maintaining these inner border size requirements, while reducing the
size of other label elements, may potentially result in the symbols on
the reduced size labels no longer being identifiable. Consequently, we
are proposing to revise paragraph (c)(i) to remove the existing inner
border size requirements for reduced dimension labels and authorizing
the entire label to be reduced proportionally.
In the same January 8, 2015 final rule, PHMSA authorized the
continued use of a label in conformance with the requirements of this
paragraph in effect on December 31, 2014, until December 31, 2016.
PHMSA has been made aware that the transition period provided may not
be sufficient to allow the regulated community to implement necessary
changes to business practices or to deplete inventories of previously
authorized labels. PHMSA is proposing to extend the transition date
provided in paragraph (c)(1)(iii) until December 31, 2018 for domestic
transportation in order to provide additional time for implementation
and depletion of existing stocks of labels.
Section 172.447
PHMSA proposes to create a new section containing a new Class 9
hazard warning label for lithium batteries. The label would consist of
the existing Class 9 label with the addition of a figure depicting a
group of batteries with one broken and emitting a flame in the lower
half. This label would appear on packages containing lithium batteries
required to display hazard warning labels and is intended to better
communicate the specific hazards posed by lithium batteries. This
action is consistent with the most recent editions of the UN Model
Regulations, the ICAO Technical Instructions, and the IMDG Code.
Packages of lithium batteries displaying the existing Class 9 label may
continue to be used until December 31, 2018. We propose this transition
period to allow shippers to exhaust existing stocks of labels and pre-
printed packagings. We are not proposing any modifications to the
existing Class 9 placard or the creation of a Class 9 placard
specifically for cargo transport units transporting lithium batteries.
PHMSA solicits comment on the appropriateness of this transition
period.
Section 172.505
Section 172.505 details the transport situations that require
subsidiary placarding. Uranium hexafluoride is a volatile solid that
may present both chemical and radiological hazards. It is one of the
most highly soluble industrial uranium compounds and, when airborne,
hydrolyzes rapidly on contact with water to form hydrofluoric acid (HF)
and uranyl fluoride (UO2F2).\9\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\9\ https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2014-11/documents/tsd58.pdf.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As previously discussed in the review of changes to Sec. 172.102,
the UN Sub-Committee determined it necessary that a 6.1 subsidiary
hazard be added to the Dangerous Goods List of uranium hexafluoride
entries. Currently, in addition to the radioactive placard which may be
required by Sec. 172.504(e), each transport vehicle, portable tank, or
freight container that contains 454 kg (1,001 pounds) or more gross
weight of non-fissile, fissile-excepted, or fissile uranium
hexafluoride must be placarded with a corrosive placard on each side
and each end. PHMSA proposes to add a requirement for these shipments
currently requiring corrosive subsidiary placards to also placard with
6.1 poison or toxic placards. PHMSA believes the addition of this
requirement will provide important hazard communication information in
the event of a release of uranium hexafluoride.
Part 173
Section 173.4a
Section 173.4a prescribes transportation requirements for excepted
packages. In this NPRM, consistent with changes to the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph (e)(3) to allow required
absorbent materials to be placed in either the intermediate or outer
packaging. PHMSA believes this change will provide shippers of excepted
packages with increased flexibility in choosing packaging
configurations, while maintaining the current level of safety for the
transportation of these small amounts of hazardous materials.
Section 173.9
Section 173.9 prescribes requirements for the fumigant marking. In
this NRPM, PHMSA proposes to amend Sec. 173.9 to require that the
fumigant marking and its required information are capable of
withstanding a 30-day exposure to open weather conditions. This
requirement is consistent with the survivability requirements for
placards found in Sec. 172.519. Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code was
amended to require the fumigant marking to be capable of surviving
three months immersion in the sea, which is consistent with IMDG Code
requirements for placard survivability. PHMSA believes ensuring that
the fumigant marking and its required information are robust enough to
handle conditions normally incident to transportation will ensure the
proper information is conveyed to those needing it. Therefore, we are
proposing amendments to this section consistent with the survivability
requirements for placards.
Section 173.21
Section 173.21 describes situations in which the offering for
transport or transportation of materials or packages is forbidden.
Examples include materials designated as ``Forbidden'' in column (3) of
the HMT; electrical
[[Page 61763]]
devices that are likely to generate sparks and/or a dangerous amount of
heat; and materials that are likely to decompose or polymerize and
generate dangerous quantities of heat or gas during decomposition or
polymerization. In Sec. 173.21, PHMSA proposes to lower the
temperature threshold at which a polymerizing substance is forbidden
for transport, unless the material is stabilized or inhibited, from 54
[deg]C (130[emsp14][deg]F) to 50 [deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) and to
amend the table in paragraph (f)(1) to accommodate the specific
temperature controls applicable to polymerizing substances. This 50
[deg]C (122[emsp14][deg]F) temperature is consistent with existing
requirements for Division 4.1 (Self-reactive) and Division 5.2 (Organic
peroxide) hazardous materials, as well as the 19th Revised Edition of
UN Model Regulations for the transport of polymerizing substances in
packages and IBCs, which requires temperature control in transport if
the SAPT is 45 [deg]C (113[emsp14][deg]F) only for polymerizing
substances offered for transport in portable tanks. We are not
proposing to adopt a different temperature threshold before temperature
control is required for portable tanks transporting polymerizing
substances. At this time, we believe there is not sufficient data to
support a different threshold for polymerizing substances in portable
tanks. Further, we believe maintaining a single SADT/SAPT for
temperature controls for all relevant materials (i.e., self-reactives,
organic peroxides, and polymerizing substances) and all packaging sizes
(i.e., non-bulk, IBC, and bulk) is less confusing for the user.
Section 173.40
Section 173.40 provides general packaging requirements for toxic
materials packaged in cylinders. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise
paragraph (a)(1) to clarify that TC, CTC, CRC, and BTC cylinders
authorized in Sec. 171.12, except for acetylene cylinders, may be used
for toxic materials.
Section 173.50
Section 173.50 provides definitions for the various divisions of
Class 1 (Explosive) materials referenced in part 173 subpart C.
Paragraph (b) of this section notes that Class 1 (Explosive) materials
are divided into six divisions and that the current definition of
Division 1.6 states that ``this division comprises articles which
contain only extremely insensitive substances.'' PHMSA proposes to
amend the definition of Division 1.6 to note that the division is made
up of articles that predominately contain extremely insensitive
substances. Consistent with the recent changes to the UN Model
Regulations, the new definition means that an article does not need to
contain solely extremely insensitive substances to be classified as a
Division 1.6 material.
Section 173.52
Section 173.52 contains descriptions of classification codes for
explosives assigned by the Associate Administrator. These compatibility
codes consist of the division number followed by the compatibility
group letter. Consistent with changes proposed to Sec. 173.50 and
those made in the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to amend the
descriptive text for the 1.6N classification code entry in the existing
table in this section to indicate that these explosives are articles
predominantly containing extremely insensitive substances.
Section 173.62
Section 173.62 provides specific packaging requirements for
explosives. Consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to
revise Sec. 173.62 relating to specific packaging requirements for
explosives.
In paragraph (b), in the Explosives Table, the entry for ``UN 0510,
Rocket motors'' would be added and assigned Packing Instruction 130
consistent with other rocket motor entries.
In paragraph (c), in the Table of Packing Methods, Packing
Instruction 112(c) would be revised by adding a particular packaging
requirement applicable to UN 0504 requiring that metal packagings must
not be used. It would also be clarified that the prohibition of metal
packagings does not include packagings constructed of other material
with a small amount of metal (e.g., metal closures or other metal
fittings). Packing Instruction 114(b) would be revised to clarify in
the particular packaging requirement applicable to UN 0508 and UN 0509
that the prohibition of metal packagings does not include packagings
constructed of other material with a small amount of metal (i.e., metal
closures or other metal fittings). Packing Instruction 130 would be
revised by adding UN 0510 to the list of large and robust explosives
articles that may be transported unpackaged. PHMSA proposes to add UN
0502 to Packing Instruction P130. This addition corrects an existing
error in the HMR. Packing Instruction 130 is referenced for UN 0502,
but there is no mention of UN 0502 in the actual instruction. Packing
Instruction 137 would be revised by amending the particular packaging
instruction applicable to UN Numbers 0059, 0439, 0440, and 0441 by
replacing the marking requirement ``THIS SIDE UP'' with a reference to
the package orientation marking prescribed in Sec. 172.312(b).
Section 173.121
Section 173.121 provides criteria for the assignment of packing
groups to Class 3 materials. Paragraph (b)(iv) provides criteria for
viscous flammable liquids of Class 3, such as paints, enamels, lacquers
and varnishes, to be placed in packing group III on the basis of their
viscosity, coupled with other criteria. In this NPRM, and consistent
with the changes to the UN Model regulations, PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (b)(iv) to include additional viscosity criteria that can be
used as an alternative where a flow cup test is unsuitable. Many
products of the paint and printing ink industry are thixotropic in
nature, which means that they are viscous at rest but become thinner on
application of shear or agitation (such as stirring or brushing).
During transport these viscous flammable liquids have the potential to
thin under movement, but their viscosity cannot be properly
characterized using a flow cup test since they will not run through the
cup under static conditions. Additionally, PHMSA proposes to include an
explanatory footnote to the existing table of viscosity and flash point
to assist users of the section in determining kinematic viscosity.
Section 173.124
Section 173.124 outlines defining criteria for Divisions 4.1
(Flammable solid), 4.2 (Spontaneously combustible), and 4.3 (Dangerous
when wet material). Division 4.1 (Flammable solid) includes
desensitized explosives, self-reactive materials, and readily
combustible solids. The UN Model Regulations adopted amendments to
include polymerizing materials to the list of materials that meet the
definition of Division 4.1. Transport conditions for polymerizing
materials are not new under the HMR. Section Sec. 173.21 presently
contains approval provisions for the transport of polymerizing
materials. Unlike the present HMR requirements, the classification
requirements adopted in the UN Model Regulations do not require testing
to determine the rate of vapor production when heated under
confinement. This rate should be the deciding factor when determining
whether a polymerizing substance should be authorized for
transportation in an IBC or portable tank. PHMSA proposes to add
polymerizing materials to the list of materials that meet the
definition of
[[Page 61764]]
Division 4.1 with the additional requirement that that polymerizing
substances are only authorized for transport if they pass the UN Test
Series E at the ``None'' or ``Low'' level when tested for heating under
confinement, or other equivalent test method. Given concerns with
potential test equipment issues (i.e., clogging) when subjecting
polymerizing materials to the UN Test Series E, PHMSA solicits comment
on other equivalent test methods.
Specifically, we propose to add a new paragraph, (a)(4), that
defines polymerizing materials generally and specifies defining
criteria. Polymerizing materials are materials that are liable to
undergo an exothermic reaction resulting in the formation of polymers
under conditions normally encountered in transport. Additionally,
polymerizing materials in Division 4.1 have a self-accelerating
polymerization temperature of 75 [deg]C (167[emsp14][deg]F) or less;
have an appropriate packaging determined by successfully passing the UN
Test Series E at the ``None'' or ``Low'' level or by an equivalent test
method; exhibit a heat of reaction of more than 300 J/g; and do not
meet the definition of any other hazard class.
Section 173.165
Section 173.165 prescribes the transport and packaging requirements
for polyester resin kits. PHMSA proposes to revise Sec. 173.165 by
adding the requirements for polyester resin kits with a flammable solid
base consistent with the new HMT entry ``UN 3527, Polyester resin kit,
solid base material, 4.1.''
Section 173.185
Section 173.185 prescribes transportation requirements for lithium
batteries. Paragraph (c) describes alternative packaging and
alternative hazard communication for shipments of up to 8 small lithium
cells or 2 small batteries per package (up to 1 gram per lithium metal
cell, 2 grams per lithium metal battery, 20 Wh per lithium ion cell,
and 100 Wh per lithium ion battery). Specifically, PHMSA proposes to
amend paragraph (c) to require strong outer packagings for small
lithium cells or batteries to be rigid and to replace the current text
markings that communicate the presence of lithium batteries and the
flammability hazard that exists if damaged with a single lithium
battery mark. Additionally, the package must be of adequate size that
the lithium battery mark can be displayed on one side of the package
without folding. PHMSA also proposes to require the lithium battery
mark to appear on packages containing lithium cells or batteries, or
lithium cells or batteries packed with, or contained in, equipment when
there are more than two packages in the consignment. This requirement
would not apply to a package containing button cell batteries installed
in equipment (including circuit boards) or when no more than four
lithium cells or two lithium batteries are installed in the equipment.
We are further clarifying what is meant by the term ``consignment'' by
defining the term used in Sec. 173.185 as one or more packages of
hazardous materials accepted by an operator from one shipper at one
time and at one address, receipted for in one lot and moving to one
consignee at one destination address.
Under current HMR requirements, a package of cells or batteries
that meets the requirements of Sec. 173.185(c) may be packed in strong
outer packagings that meet the general requirements of Sec. Sec.
173.24 and 173.24a instead of the standard UN performance packaging.
Lithium batteries packed in accordance with Sec. 173.185(c) must be
packed in strong outer packagings that meet the general packaging
requirements of Sec. Sec. 173.24 and 173.24a and be capable of
withstanding a 1.2 meter (3.9 ft) drop test without damage to the cells
or batteries contained in the package, shifting of the contents that
would allow battery to battery or cell to cell contact, or release of
contents. Alternative hazard communication requirements also apply. The
Class 9 label is replaced with text indicating the presence of lithium
batteries; an indication that the package must be handled with care and
that a flammability hazard exists if damaged; procedures to take in the
event of damage; and a telephone number for additional information.
Instead of a shipping paper, the shipper can provide the carrier with
an alternative document that includes the same information as provided
on the package.
In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to replace the existing text marking
requirements in Sec. 173.185(c)(3) with a standard lithium battery
mark for use in all transport modes and to remove the requirement in
Sec. 173.185(c)(3) for shippers to provide an alternative document.
The lithium battery mark communicates key information (i.e., the
package contents and that a flammability hazard exists if damaged). The
mark utilizes recognizable symbols that permit transport workers and
emergency responders to quickly ascertain the package contents and take
appropriate action. A single mark that is understood and accepted for
all transport modes will increase the effectiveness. PHMSA proposes a
transition period of December 31, 2018, to provide adequate time for
shippers to transition the new lithium battery mark and exhaust
existing stocks of preprinted packagings or markings. The current
documentation requirement is redundant given the existing marking
requirement and provides minimal additional safety value to that
provided by the mark.
At the 49th session of UN Sub-Committee, a late design revision to
the lithium battery mark was adopted to authorize the mark on a
background of ``suitable contrasting color'' in addition to white. This
is consistent with design requirements for limited quantity marks and
other marks in the Model Regulations. We are proposing to also allow
the mark on a background of suitable contrasting color in addition to
white.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes to amend Sec. 173.185(c)(2) to
specify that outer packagings used to contain small lithium batteries
must be rigid and of adequate size so the handling mark can be affixed
on one side without the mark being folded. The HMR currently do not
prescribe minimum package dimensions or specific requirements for
package performance other than the requirements described in Sec. Sec.
173.24 and 173.24a. We are aware of several instances in which either
the package dimensions were not adequate to accommodate the required
marks and labels or the package was not sufficiently strong to
withstand the rigors of transport. These proposals will enhance the
communication and recognition of lithium batteries and better ensure
that packaging is strong enough to withstand normal transport
conditions.
PHMSA proposes amendments to Sec. 173.185(e) to permit the
transport of prototype and low production runs of lithium batteries
contained in equipment. These proposals are mostly consistent with
amendments adopted into the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations and Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code, which authorize the
transportation of prototype and low production runs of lithium
batteries contained in equipment in packaging tested to the PG II
level. The ICAO TI authorizes the transportation of prototype and low
production runs of lithium batteries contained in equipment in
packaging tested to the PG I level. PHMSA proposes to continue to
require prototype and low production batteries to be placed in
packaging tested to the PG I performance level. PHMSA believes that the
higher integrity packaging provides an
[[Page 61765]]
additional layer of protection for cells and batteries not otherwise
subjected to the UN design tests.
Consistent with changes to the UN Model Regulations, the IMDG Code,
and the ICAO Technical Instructions, PHMSA proposes to add new
paragraph (e)(7) to require shipments of low production runs and
prototype lithium batteries to note conformance with the requirements
of Sec. 173.185(e) on shipping papers.
Additionally, PHMSA proposes amendments to Sec. 173.185(f)(4) to
harmonize with a requirement in the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Model Regulations that the ``Damaged/defective lithium ion battery''
and/or ``Damaged/defective lithium metal battery'' marking as
appropriate be in characters at least 12 mm (.47 inch) high.
Section 173.217
Section 173.217 establishes packaging requirements for dry ice
(carbon dioxide, solid). Paragraph (c) prescribes additional packaging
requirements for air transport. Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, in this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to remove the term ``other
type of pallet'' in paragraph (c)(3) that excepts dry ice being used as
a refrigerant for other non-hazardous materials from the quantity
limits per package shown in columns (9A) and (9B) of the Sec. 172.101
HMT.
A working paper submitted to the October 2014 ICAO Dangerous Goods
Panel meeting noted that the term ``other type of pallet'' was used in
conjunction in various parts of the ICAO Technical Instructions with
the terms ``package,'' ``overpack,'' or ``unit load device,'' which
were all defined in the ICAO Technical Instructions. The ICAO Technical
Instructions do not have a specific definition for ``other type of
pallet,'' as the term is understood to represent devices that are
widely used in transport, such as wooden skids or pallets that allow
the use of a forklift for ease of moving packages around and to prevent
damage to the contents of the skid or pallet. The definition for
``overpack'' already addresses the intent of the term ``other type of
pallet,'' so it was agreed that the term ``other type of pallet'' was
redundant and that references to it would be removed.
Section 173.220
Section 173.220 prescribes transportation requirements and
exceptions for internal combustion engines, vehicles, machinery
containing internal combustion engines, battery-powered equipment or
machinery, and fuel cell-powered equipment or machinery. The UN Model
Regulations adopted amendments to the existing UN 3166 engine and
vehicle entries during the last biennium. These changes are
continuations of efforts undertaken by the UN Sub-Committee to ensure
appropriate hazard communication is provided for engines containing
large quantities of fuels.
The 17th Edition of the UN Model Regulations added special
provision 363, which required varying levels of hazard communication
depending on the type and quantity of fuel present, in attempts to
ensure the hazards associated with engines containing large quantities
of fuel were sufficiently communicated. PHMSA did not adopt the
provisions found in special provision 363 at the time they were
introduced.
As previously discussed in the review of the new proposed HMT
entries, the existing UN 3166 identification number was maintained for
the various vehicle entries in the Model Regulations, and three new UN
identification numbers and proper shipping names were created for
engines or machinery internal combustion and were assigned a hazard
classification based on the type of fuel used. The three new UN numbers
and proper shipping names are as follows: A Class 3 entry ``UN 3528,
Engine, internal combustion engine, flammable liquid powered, or Engine
fuel cell, flammable liquid powered, or Machinery, internal combustion,
flammable liquid powered, or Machinery, fuel cell, flammable liquid
powered''; a Division 2.1 entry ``UN 3529, Engine, internal combustion
engine, flammable gas powered, or Engine fuel cell, flammable gas
powered, or Machinery, internal combustion, flammable gas powered, or
Machinery, fuel cell, flammable gas powered''; and a Class 9 entry ``UN
3530, Engine, internal combustion, or Machinery, internal combustion.''
Consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to add to
the HMR the new UN identification numbers and proper shipping names for
engines and machinery. PHMSA proposes to maintain the existing
transportation requirements and exceptions for engines and machinery
found in Sec. 173.220 for all modes of transportation other than
vessel. To harmonize as closely as possible with Amendment 38-16 of the
IMDG Code, PHMSA proposes the following amendments to Sec. 173.220:
Amending paragraph (b)(1) to include a reference to engines powered by
fuels that are marine pollutants but do not meet the criteria of any
other Class or Division; amending paragraph (b)(4)(ii) to include a
reference to the proposed new Sec. 176.906 containing requirements for
shipments of engines or machinery offered for transportation by vessel;
amending paragraph (d) to authorize the transportation of securely
installed prototype or low production run lithium batteries in engines
and machinery by modes of transportation other than air; and adding
paragraph (h)(3) to include references to existing and proposed
exceptions for vehicles, engines, and machinery in Sec. Sec. 176.905
and 176.906.
ICAO adopted a provision that requires battery powered vehicles
that could be handled in other than an upright position to be placed
into a strong rigid outer package. ICAO adopted this provision to
ensure that small vehicles, particularly those powered by lithium
batteries are adequately protected from damage during transport. PHMSA
proposes to amend paragraphs (c) and (d) consistent with this
requirement. While this international requirement is specific to air
transport, we believe there is benefit to applying this requirement for
transportation by all transport modes.
Section 173.221
Section 173.221 prescribes the packaging requirements for Polymeric
beads (or granules), expandable, evolving flammable vapor. PHMSA
proposes to add a procedure for declassification of polymeric beads,
expandable. This exception is proposed to differentiate between
polymeric beads made of materials that may present a risk for formation
of a flammable atmosphere in a package and those that do not. When it
can be demonstrated that no flammable vapor, resulting in a flammable
atmosphere, is evolved by utilizing test U1--the test method for
substances liable to evolve flammable vapors--of part III, sub-section
38.4.4 of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, polymeric beads,
expandable need not be classed as Class 9 (UN 2211).
Section 173.225
Section 173.225 prescribes packaging requirements and other
provisions for organic peroxides. Consistent with the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to revise the Organic Peroxide Table in
paragraph (c) by amending the entries for: ``Dibenzoyl peroxide,''
``tert-Butyl cumyl peroxide,'' ``Dicetyl peroxydicarbonate,'' and
``tert-Butyl peroxy-3,5,5-trimethylhexanoate.'' We propose to revise
the Organic Peroxide IBC Table in paragraph (e) to maintain alignment
with the UN Model Regulations by adding new entries for ``tert-Butyl
cumyl peroxide'' and
[[Page 61766]]
``1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl peroxy-2-ethylhexanoate, not more than 67%,
in diluent type A'' and adding a type 31HA1 IBC authorization to the
existing entry for ``Di-(2-ethylhexyl) peroxydicarbonate, not more than
62%, stable dispersion, in water.'' We are republishing the complete
Organic Peroxide and Organic Peroxide IBC tables to ensure the proposed
revisions are correctly inserted and adding the missing ``UN'' code to
several identification numbers assigned to existing entries in the
Organic Peroxide Table.
Section 173.301b
Section 173.301b contains additional general requirements for
shipment of UN pressure receptacles. PHMSA proposes to amend paragraph
(a)(2) to include the most recent ISO standard for UN pressure
receptacles and valve materials for non-metallic materials in ISO
11114-2:2013. Additionally, we propose to amend paragraph (c)(1) to
include the most recent ISO standard on cylinder valves ISO 10297:2014.
This paragraph also contains end dates for when the manufacture of
cylinders and service equipment is no longer authorized in accordance
with the outdated ISO standard. Finally, we propose to amend Sec.
173.301b(g) to amend a reference to marking requirements for composite
cylinders used for underwater applications. The current reference to
the ``UW'' marking in Sec. 173.301b(g) direct readers to Sec.
178.71(o)(17). The correct reference for the ``UW marking is Sec.
178.71(q)(18). We propose to make this editorial change in this NPRM.
Section 173.303
Section 173.303 prescribes requirements for charging of cylinders
with compressed gas in solution (acetylene). PHMSA proposes to amend
paragraph (f)(1) to require UN cylinders for acetylene use to comply
with the current ISO standard ISO 3807:2013. This paragraph also
contains end dates for when the manufacture of cylinders and service
equipment is no longer authorized in accordance with the outdated ISO
standard.
Section 173.304b
Section 173.304b prescribes filling requirements for liquefied
gases in UN pressure receptacles. The UN Model Regulations amended
packing instruction P200 by adding requirements for liquefied gases
charged with compressed gases. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend
Sec. 173.304b specifically by adding a new paragraph (b)(5) to include
filling limits when a UN cylinder filled with a liquefied gas is
charged with a compressed gas. We are not proposing similar filling
limits for DOT specification cylinders filled with a liquefied gas and
charged with a compressed gas, as we feel the situation is adequately
addressed by the requirements found in Sec. 173.301(a)(8).
Section 173.310
Section 173.310 provides the transport conditions for certain
specially designed radiation detectors containing a Division 2.2 (Non-
flammable) gas. The 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations
added a new special provision 378 applicable to radiation detectors
containing certain Division 2.2 gases. Special provision 378 outlines
conditions for the use of a non-specification pressure receptacle and
strong outer packaging requirements. As Sec. 173.310 currently
prescribes similar transport conditions for radiation detectors
containing Division 2.2 gases, we are not proposing to add a new
special provision.
Consistent with special provision 378 of the UN Model Regulations,
PHMSA proposes the following revisions to the transport conditions in
Sec. 173.310: [1] In the section header, clarify that Division 2.2
gases must be in non-refillable cylinders; [2] in (b), increase the
maximum design pressure from 4.83 MPa (700 psig) to 5.00 MPa (725 psig)
and increase the capacity from 355 fluid ounces (641 cubic inches) to
405 fluid ounces (731 cubic inches); [3] in new paragraph (d), require
specific emergency response information to accompany each shipment and
be available from the associated emergency response telephone number;
[4] in new paragraph (e), require that transport in accordance with
this section be noted on the shipping paper; and [5] in new paragraph
(f), except radiation detectors, including detectors in radiation
detection systems, containing less than 1.69 fluid ounces (50 ml)
capacity, from the requirements of the subchapter if they conform to
(a) through (d) of this section.
Section 173.335
Section 173.335 contains requirements for cylinders filled with
chemicals under pressure. The 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Recommendations includes new instructions in P200 and P206 on how to
calculate the filling ratio and test pressure when a liquid phase of a
fluid is charged with a compressed gas. PHMSA proposes to revise the
requirements of Sec. 173.335 for chemical under pressure n.o.s. to
include a reference to Sec. 173.304b, which specifies additional
requirements for liquefied compressed gases in UN pressure receptacles.
In another proposed amendment in this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend
Sec. 173.304b specifically by adding a new paragraph (b)(5) to include
these filling and test pressure requirements consistent with the UN
Recommendations.
Part 175
Section 175.10
Section 175.10 specifies the conditions for which passengers, crew
members, or an operator may carry hazardous materials aboard an
aircraft. Paragraph (a)(7) permits the carriage of medical or clinical
mercury thermometers, when carried in a protective case in carry-on or
checked baggage. Consistent with revisions to the ICAO Technical
Instructions, in this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph (a)(7)
by limiting thermometers containing mercury to checked baggage only.
This revision was based on a proposal submitted to the ICAO DGP/25
meeting that highlighted two incidents involving leakage of mercury
from thermometers carried in the cabin and addressed the cost and
difficult process of cleaning a spill. The proposal noted that digital
thermometers had become widely available, and as such, there was no
longer a need to allow mercury thermometers in the cabin or cockpit.
The Panel discussed whether mercury thermometers should also be banned
from checked baggage but agreed to retain the provision for checked
baggage on the basis that there were parts of the world where their use
was more prevalent.
Section 175.25
Section 175.25 prescribes the notification that operators must
provide to passengers regarding restrictions on the types of hazardous
material they may or may not carry aboard an aircraft on their person
or in checked or carry-on baggage. Passenger notification of hazardous
materials restrictions addresses the potential risks that passengers
can introduce on board aircraft. PHMSA's predecessor, the Materials
Transportation Bureau, introduced passenger notification requirements
in 1980 [Docket No. HM-166B; 45 FR 13087]. Although this section had
been previously amended to account for ticket purchase or check-in via
the Internet, new technological innovations have continued to outpace
these provisions. Notwithstanding the
[[Page 61767]]
several rounds of revisions, the rule remains unduly prescriptive.
The 2017-2018 ICAO Technical Instructions has removed prescriptive
requirements concerning how the information concerning dangerous goods
that passengers are forbidden to transport are required to be conveyed
to passengers by removing references to ``prominently displayed'' and
``in sufficient numbers.'' Additional ICAO Technical Instructions
changes include removal of prescriptive requirements that the
information be in ``text or pictorial form'' when checking in remotely,
or ``pictorial form'' when not checking in remotely. ICAO's decision to
move to a performance-based requirement will account for changes in
technology as well as the unique characteristics of some air carrier
operations. ICAO noted that these provisions lagged behind the latest
technology and could sometimes hinder the effectiveness and efficiency
of notifying passengers about hazardous materials. To account for the
utilization of different technologies as well as air carrier specific
differences in operating or business practices, ICAO adopted changes
that require air carriers to describe their procedures for informing
passengers about dangerous goods in their operations manual and/or
other appropriate manuals.
PHMSA agrees with this approach and proposes to harmonize with the
amendments made to the ICAO Technical Instructions part 7; 5.1.
Harmonization is appropriate not only to account for evolving
technologies or air carrier specific conditions, but also because we
believe that this amendment will result in a more effective
notification to passengers.
Under the proposed revisions to Sec. 175.25, in accordance with 14
CFR parts 121 and 135, air carriers operating under 14 CFR parts 121 or
135 will need to describe in an operations manual and/or other
appropriate manuals in accordance with the applicable provisions of 14
CFR. The manual(s) will be required to provide procedures and
information necessary to allow personnel to implement and maintain
their air carrier's specific passenger notification system. Aside from
the manual provisions, all persons engaging in for hire air
transportation of passengers will continue to be subject to Sec.
175.25.
Section 175.33
Section 175.33 establishes requirements for shipping papers and for
the notification of the pilot-in-command when hazardous materials are
transported by aircraft. The pilot notification requirements of part
7;4.1.1.1 of the ICAO Technical Instructions include an exception for
consumer commodities (ID8000) to allow for the average gross mass of
the packages to be shown instead of the actual gross mass of each
individual package. This exception is limited to consumer commodities
offered to the operator by the shipper in a unit load device (ULD).
Consistent with the ICAO Technical Instructions packing instruction
applicable to consumer commodities (PI Y963), which permits the shipper
to show on the shipping paper either the actual gross mass of each
package or the average gross mass of all packages in the consignment,
the notification to the pilot-in-command requirement for consumer
commodities was revised to remove the exception applicability to ULDs
only. This exception did not previously exist under the HMR. In this
NPRM, PHMSA proposes to revise Sec. 175.33(a)(3) by adding the text
``For consumer commodities, the information provided may be either the
gross mass of each package or the average gross mass of the packages as
shown on the shipping paper.'' This revision would align the consumer
commodity notification of the pilot-in-command requirements in the HMR
with the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Section 175.900
Section 175.900 prescribes the handling requirements for air
carriers that transport dry ice. Consistent with the ICAO Technical
Instructions, PHMSA proposes to remove the term ``other type of
pallet'' with regard to packages containing dry ice prepared by a
single shipper. See ``Section 173.217'' of this rulemaking for a
detailed discussion of the proposed revision.
Part 176
Section 176.83
Section 176.83 prescribes segregation requirements applicable to
all cargo spaces on all types of vessels and to all cargo transport
units. Paragraph (a)(4)(ii) has several groups of hazardous materials
of different classes, which comprise a group of substances that do not
react dangerously with each other and that are excepted from the
segregation requirements of Sec. 176.83. Consistent with changes made
in Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code, PHMSA proposes to add a new group
of hazardous materials that do not react dangerously with each other to
this paragraph. The following materials are proposed for new paragraph
(a)(4)(ii)(C); ``UN 3391, Organometallic substance, solid,
pyrophoric''; ``UN 3392, Organometallic substance, liquid,
pyrophoric''; ``UN 3393, Organometallic substance, solid, pyrophoric,
water-reactive''; ``UN 3394, Organometallic substance, liquid,
pyrophoric, water-reactive''; ``UN 3395, Organometallic substance,
solid, water-reactive''; ``UN 3396, Organometallic substance, solid,
water-reactive, flammable''; ``UN 3397, Organometallic substance,
solid, water-reactive, self-heating''; ``UN 3398, Organometallic
substance, liquid, water-reactive''; ``UN 3399, Organometallic
substance, liquid, water-reactive, flammable''; and ``UN 3400,
Organometallic substance, solid, self-heating.''
Section 176.84
Section 176.84 prescribes the meanings and requirements for
numbered or alpha-numeric stowage provisions for vessel shipments
listed in column (10B) of the Sec. 172.101 HMT. The provisions in
Sec. 176.84 are broken down into general stowage provisions, which are
defined in the ``table of provisions'' in paragraph (b), and the
stowage provisions applicable to vessel shipments of Class 1
explosives, which are defined in the table to paragraph (c)(2). PHMSA
proposes to create a new stowage provision 149 and assign it to the new
UN 3528 engines or machinery powered by internal combustion engine
flammable liquid entry. This new stowage provision will require engines
or machinery containing fuels with a flash point equal or greater than
23 [deg]C (73.4 [deg]F) to be stowed in accordance with the stowage
requirements of stowage Category A. Engines and machinery containing
fuels with a flash point less than 23 [deg]C (73.4 [deg]F) are required
to comply with the requirements of stowage Category E.
Additionally, consistent with Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes to create a new stowage provision 150 to replace
existing stowage provision 129 for ``UN 3323, Radioactive material, low
specific activity (LSA-III) non fissile or fissile excepted.'' This
proposed new stowage provision requires that any material that is
classified as UN 3323, which is either uranium metal pyrophoric or
thorium metal pyrophoric, be stowed in accordance with stowage Category
D requirements.
Section 176.905
Section 176.905 prescribes transportation requirements and
exceptions for vessel transportation of motor vehicles and mechanical
equipment. PHMSA proposes to revise Sec. 176.905 to update the
transport
[[Page 61768]]
requirements and exceptions for vehicles transported by vessel. These
changes are necessary to remove references to machinery (see proposed
Sec. 176.906) and to maintain consistency with changes made in
Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code.
The following changes are proposed to the transport requirements
for vehicles transported by vessel: [1] In paragraph (a)(2) for
flammable liquid powered vehicles, the requirement that flammable
liquid must not exceed 250 L (66 gal) unless otherwise approved by the
Associate Administrator; [2] in paragraph (a)(4), the authorization to
transport vehicles containing prototype or low production run batteries
securely installed in vehicles; [3] also in paragraph (a)(4), the
requirement that damaged or defective lithium batteries must be removed
and transported in accordance with Sec. 173.185(f); and [4] in
paragraph (i)(1)(i), the inclusion of text to ensure lithium batteries
in vehicles stowed in a hold or compartment designated by the
administration of the country in which the vessel is registered as
specially designed and approved for vehicles have lithium batteries
that have successfully passed the tests found in the UN Manual of Tests
and Criteria (except for prototypes and low production runs).
Section 176.906
Consistent with changes made in Amendment 38-16 of the IMDG Code,
PHMSA proposes the creation of a new section Sec. 176.906 to prescribe
transportation requirements for engines and machinery. Requirements
found in paragraphs (a)-(h) are identical to existing requirements for
engines and machinery contained in Sec. 176.905, and their
reproduction in this section is made necessary by the splitting of the
provisions for engines/machinery and vehicles. Paragraph (i) contains
exceptions that are divided into two separate categories: [1] Engines
and machinery meeting one of the conditions provided in (i)(1), which
are not subject to the requirements of subchapter C of the HMR; and [2]
engines and machinery not meeting the conditions provided in (i)(1),
which are subject to the requirements found in (i)(2) that prescribe
general conditions for transport and varying degrees of hazard
communication required for engines and machinery based on the actual
fuel contents and capacity of the engine or machinery.
A summary of the proposed hazard communication requirements for
vessel transportation of engines and machinery that are not empty of
fuel based on fuel content and capacity are provided in Tables 8 and 9.
The additional hazard communication requirements column indicates
requirements that would differ from existing hazard communication
requirements for engines or machinery.

Part 178
Section 178.71
Section 178.71 prescribes specifications for UN pressure
receptacles. Consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes
to amend paragraphs (d)(2), (h), (k)(2), and (l)(1) to reflect the
adoption of the latest ISO standards for the design, construction, and
testing of gas cylinders and their associated service equipment. In
paragraph (l)(1), we propose to require that composite cylinders be
designed for a design life of not less than 15 years, as well as that
composite cylinders and tubes with a design life longer than 15 years
must not be filled after 15 years from the date of manufacture, unless
the design has successfully passed a service life test program. The
service life test program must be part of the initial design type
approval and must specify inspections and tests to demonstrate that
cylinders manufactured accordingly remain safe to the end of their
design life. The service life test program and the results must be
approved by the competent authority of the country of approval that is
responsible for the initial approval of the cylinder design. The
service life of a composite cylinder or tube must not be extended
beyond its initial approved design life. These paragraphs also contain
proposed end dates for when the manufacture of cylinders and service
equipment is no longer authorized in accordance with the outdated ISO
standard.
Additionally, consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA
proposes to revise paragraph (o)(2) to adopt the current ISO standard
relating to material compatibility and to add paragraph (g)(4) to adopt
the current ISO standard relating to design, construction, and testing
of stainless steel cylinders with an Rm value of less than 1,100 MPa.
Finally, we propose to revise paragraphs (q) and (r) to indicate
the required markings for composite cylinders and tubes with a limited
design life of 15 years or for cylinders and tubes with a design life
greater than 15 years, or a non-limited design life.
Section 178.75
Section 178.75 contains specifications for Multiple-element gas
containers (MEGCs). Consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA
proposes to renumber existing paragraph (d)(3)(iv) as (d)(3)(v) and to
add a new paragraph (d)(3)(iv) to incorporate ISO 9809-
[[Page 61769]]
4:2014 for stainless steel cylinders with an Rm value of less than
1,100 MPa.
Section 178.1015
Section 178.1015 prescribes general standards for the use of
flexible bulk containers (FBCs). Consistent with changes to the UN
Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph (f) to require
that FBCs be fitted with a vent that is designed to prevent the ingress
of water in situations where a dangerous accumulation of gases may
develop absent such a vent. It is our understanding that only one
particular material authorized for transportation in FBCs--UN3378,
Sodium carbonate peroxyhydrate--is known to decompose causing a
dangerous accumulation of gas.
Part 180
Section 180.205
Section 180.205 outlines general requirements for requalification
of specification cylinders. PHMSA proposes an amendment to paragraph
(c) to require that Transport Canada cylinders be requalified and
marked in accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations. This
amendment is necessary to ensure that RIN holders utilize the TDG
Regulations when requalifying and marking Transport Canada cylinders.
Section 180.207
Section 180.207 prescribes requirements for requalification of UN
pressure receptacles. Consistent with changes to the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to revise paragraph (d)(3) to incorporate
ISO 10462:2013 concerning requalification of dissolved acetylene
cylinders. This paragraph also includes an authorization to requalify
acetylene cylinders in accordance with the current ISO standard until
December 31, 2018.
Section 180.413
Section 180.413 provides the requirements for the repair,
modification, stretching, rebarrelling, or mounting of specification
cargo tanks. Currently, Sec. 180.413(a)(1) requires that each repair
of a specification cargo tank must be performed by a repair facility
holding a valid National Board Certificate of Authorization for use of
the National Board ``R'' stamp and must be made in accordance with the
edition of the National Board Inspection Code in effect at the time the
work is performed. ``Repair'' is defined in Sec. 180.403 as any
welding on a cargo tank wall done to return a cargo tank or a cargo
tank motor vehicle to its original design and construction
specification, or to a condition prescribed for a later equivalent
specification in effect at the time of the repair. As discussed in the
``Harmonization Proposals in this NPRM'' section, stakeholders
participating in the U.S.-Canada RCC identified this requirement as
being burdensome to United States carriers who also operate in Canada.
In accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations, a facility in
Canada can perform a repair on a specification cargo tank if it holds
either a valid National Board Certificate of Authorization for use of
the National Board ``R'' stamp or a valid Certificate of Authorization
from a provincial pressure vessel jurisdiction for repair. The latter
authorization becomes problematic for United States carriers requiring
the repair of a DOT specification cargo tank while in Canada. Section
180.413 currently only authorizes the repair of a DOT specification
cargo tank by a facility holding a valid National Board Certificate of
Authorization for use of the National Board ``R'' stamp. If a DOT
specification cargo tank is repaired in Canada at a facility holding a
Certificate of Authorization from a provincial pressure vessel
jurisdiction for repair and not a National Board Certificate of
Authorization for use of the National Board ``R'' stamp, the DOT
specification of the cargo tank is placed in jeopardy.
Based on this input from RCC stakeholders, PHMSA conducted a
comparison of the HMR requirements for the repair of specification
cargo tanks and the corresponding requirements of the Transport Canada
TDG Regulations. PHMSA finds that the requirements for the repair of a
specification cargo tank conducted in accordance with the Transport
Canada TDG Regulations by a facility in Canada holding a valid
Certificate of Authorization from a provincial pressure vessel
jurisdiction for repair provides for at least an equivalent level of
safety as those provided by the HMR. Further, the Transport Canada TDG
Regulations authorize the repair of TC specification cargo tanks by
facilities in the U.S. that are registered in accordance with part 107
subpart F.
Accordingly, PHMSA proposes to expand the authorization for the
repair of DOT specification cargo tanks by revising Sec.
180.413(a)(1). Specifically, PHMSA proposes to add a new subparagraph
(iii) authorizing a repair, as defined in Sec. 180.403, of a DOT
specification cargo tank used for the transportation of hazardous
materials in the United States performed by a facility in Canada in
accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations, provided the
facility holds a valid Certificate of Authorization from a provincial
pressure vessel jurisdiction for repair; the facility is registered in
accordance with the Transport Canada TDG Regulations to repair the
corresponding TC specification; and all repairs are performed using the
quality control procedures used to obtain the Certificate of
Authorization.
PHMSA also proposes an incidental revision to Sec. 180.413(b) to
except facilities in Canada that perform a repair in accordance with
the proposed Sec. 180.413(a)(1)(iii) from the requirement that each
repair of a cargo tank involving welding on the shell or head must be
certified by a Registered Inspector. The Transport Canada TDG
Regulations provide requirements for the oversight of welding repairs
and do not use the term ``Registered Inspector.''
These proposed provisions would not place any additional financial
or reporting burden on U.S. companies. Rather, the enhanced regulatory
reciprocity between the United States and Canada as a result of these
provisions would provide the companies with additional flexibility and
cost savings due to necessary opportunities for obtaining repairs to
DOT specification cargo tanks in Canada.
See the review of Sec. 107.502 for the discussion of a related
proposal.
Section 180.605
Section 180.605 prescribes requirements for the qualification of
portable tanks. Consistent with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA
proposes an amendment to paragraph (g)(1) to require as a part of
internal and external examination that the wall thickness must be
verified by appropriate measurement if this inspection indicates a
reduction of wall thickness. This proposed amendment would require the
inspector to verify that the shell thickness is equal to or greater
than the minimum shell thickness indicated on the portable tanks metal
plate (see Sec. 178.274(i)(1)).
VII. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Statutory/Legal Authority for This Rulemaking
This proposed rule is published under the statutory authority of
Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et
seq.). Section 5103(b) of Federal hazmat law authorizes the Secretary
of Transportation to prescribe regulations for the safe transportation,
including security, of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate,
and foreign commerce. This proposed rule
[[Page 61770]]
amends regulations to maintain alignment with international standards
by incorporating various amendments, including changes to proper
shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions,
packaging authorizations, air transport quantity limitations and vessel
stowage requirements. To this end, the proposed rule amends the HMR to
more fully align with the biennial updates of the UN Model Regulations,
the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Harmonization serves to facilitate international commerce, while
also promoting the safety of people, property, and the environment by
reducing the potential for confusion and misunderstanding that could
result if shippers and transporters were required to comply with two or
more conflicting sets of regulatory requirements. While the intent of
this rulemaking is to align the HMR with international standards, we
review and consider each amendment based on its own merit, on its
overall impact on transportation safety, and on the economic
implications associated with its adoption into the HMR. Our goal is to
harmonize internationally without sacrificing the current HMR level of
safety or imposing undue burdens on the regulated community. Thus, as
explained in the corresponding sections above, we are not proposing
harmonization with certain specific provisions of the UN Model
Regulations, the IMDG Code, and the ICAO Technical Instructions.
Moreover, we are maintaining a number of current exceptions for
domestic transportation that should minimize the compliance burden on
the regulated community. Additionally, the following external agencies
were consulted in the development of this rule: Federal Aviation
Administration, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, Federal
Railroad Administration, U.S. Coast Guard.
Section 49 U.S.C. 5120(b) of Federal hazmat law authorizes the
Secretary to ensure that, to the extent practicable, regulations
governing the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce are
consistent with standards adopted by international authorities. This
rule proposes to amend the HMR to maintain alignment with international
standards by incorporating various amendments to facilitate the
transport of hazardous material in international commerce. To this end,
as discussed in detail above, PHMSA proposes to incorporate changes
into the HMR based on the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model
Regulations, Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code, and the 2017-2018
Edition of the ICAO Technical Instructions, which become effective
January 1, 2017. The large volume of hazardous materials transported in
international commerce warrants the harmonization of domestic and
international requirements to the greatest extent possible.
B. Executive Order 12866, Executive Order 13563, and DOT Regulatory
Policies and Procedures
This notice is not considered a significant regulatory action under
section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 (``Regulatory Planning and
Review'') and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of Management
and Budget. This notice is not considered a significant rule under the
Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation
(44 FR 11034). Additionally, Executive Order 13563 (``Improving
Regulation and Regulatory Review'') supplements and reaffirms Executive
Order 12866, 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.
Benefits to Harmonization
General Harmonization Benefit: In an earlier regulatory
evaluation,\10\ PHMSA estimated a proxy for benefits of harmonization
of the HMR with international standards of $87.9 million. We estimated
this number by multiplying a hazard communication cost per dollar of
hazardous materials output ($0.001) by the value of hazardous materials
involved in international trade, as estimated by the proportion of
trade (the total of gross imports and gross exports) in the fuels and
lubricants, chemicals, and medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical products
industries ($879 billion in 2013) \11\ that are hazardous products
(approximately 10 percent).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ HM-215M: Hazardous Materials: Harmonization with
International Standards (RRR), Final Rule, 80 FR 1075, January 8,
2015.
\11\ As reported in the quarterly trade data of the U.S. Bureau
of Economic Analysis, available at: https://www.bea.gov/international/detailed_trade_data.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For estimating benefits of this proposed rule, we follow a nearly
identical approach, while acknowledging there is an inherent
imprecision of benefits, and update the data and assumptions where
possible. Unlike in the last regulatory evaluation, 2012 Commodity Flow
Survey (CFS) data on hazardous materials is now available. According to
the 2012 CFS, $13,852,143 million worth of commodities were transported
in the U.S. in 2012, of which $2,334,425 million worth were hazardous
(or 16.9 percent).\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ https://www.rita.dot.gov/bts/sites/rita.dot.gov.bts/files/publications/commodity_flow_survey/2012/hazardous_materials/.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
However, we acknowledge that the estimated 16.9 percent proportion
of total shipment values classed as hazardous materials may have had a
high-side bias due to the variety of different classes of products
classified as hazardous. The percentage of shipments properly
classified as hazardous--particularly for medicinal/dental/
pharmaceutical products--is likely lower, which for the purpose of this
analysis we assume to be 10 percent.
We update our estimate of value of hazardous materials involved in
international trade by using U.S. trade in goods seasonally adjusted,
Census-based total gross imports, and gross exports in the fuels and
lubricants, chemicals, and medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical products
industries for 2015, which is the most recent year available.
Gross imports: $451.8 billion (rounded).
[cir] Fuels and lubricants: $198.217 billion.
[cir] Chemicals: $73.304 billion.
[cir] Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical products: $180.280 billion.
Gross exports: $281.6 billion (rounded).
[cir] Fuels and lubricants: $115.013 billion.
[cir] Chemicals: $111.492 billion.
[cir] Medicinal/dental/pharmaceutical products: $55.046 billion.
Gross imports plus gross exports: $733.4 billion.\13\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce,
U.S. Trade in Goods (IDS-0008), available at: https://www.bea.gov/international/detailed_trade_data.htm.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiplying this $733.4 billion figure by the estimated proportion
of annual trade in these three industries that are hazardous products
(10 percent) by the average hazard communication cost per dollar of
hazardous materials produced in the United States ($0.001) results in
an estimate of benefits from general harmonization of about $73.3
million annually, rounded.
If the HMR are not harmonized with international standards, we
estimate that it will cost U.S. companies an additional $73.3 million
per year to comply with both the domestic and international standards.
Harmonizing the HMR with the international
[[Page 61771]]
standards, however, will avert these $73.3 million in additional costs,
making them the primary benefit attributable to this rulemaking.
RCC Initiatives: PHMSA believes that recognition under the HMR of
Transport Canada cylinders, equivalency certificates, and cargo tanks
would not result in any significant costs but would instead provide
benefits in flexibility to cylinder users, shipments of hazardous
materials made under an equivalency certificate to the U.S., and
certain U.S.-based cargo tank motor vehicle operators requiring repairs
while in Canada. We do not believe there is currently a basis for
reliably estimating quantitatively the benefits of the cylinder and
equivalency certificate provisions of this proposed rule. However, we
welcome and specifically solicit data available to commenters to more
accurately estimate benefits quantitatively. With regard to all three
RCC proposed amendments, PHMSA believes that aligning regulatory
approaches between Canada and the United States can spur economic
growth and job creation in both nations, facilitate trade, and still
maintain appropriate safety standards. Preliminary analysis indicates
that the total annual benefit of the cargo tank RCC provisions proposed
in this rulemaking would be $6,555,234 per year (for the high estimate
of U.S.-made cargo tanks affected), $779,337 per year (for the middle
estimate), or $693,804 per year (for the low estimate). Please see the
Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA) for this rulemaking action for a
detailed discussion of the benefits of recognizing cargo tank repairs
made in Canadian facilities.
Costs of Harmonization
Please see the RIA for this rulemaking--a copy of which has been
placed in the docket--for detailed analysis of the costs of various
amendments proposed in this NPRM. We provide below a summary of cost
estimates for several of the larger cost proposals.
Incorporation by Reference: PHMSA anticipates that the primary cost
of updating references incorporated in the HMR to the most recent
international hazardous material standards will be the purchase of
updated copies to be incorporated by reference. These costs will be
borne by offerors, package manufacturers, and transporters of hazardous
materials if this rulemaking were finalized.
It is unknown how many individuals and firms involved in shipping
hazardous materials will purchase copies of these international
standards as a result of finalizing this rulemaking. We take a
conservative approach to estimating such a figure by using as a proxy
the number of shippers, carriers, or other offerors or transporters of
hazardous materials in commerce with a PHMSA registration expiring
before 2019. Currently, PHMSA's registration database indicates 38,070
registrants as of March 18, 2016.\14\ Of these, 31,103 (approximately
82 percent) are small businesses as defined by the U.S. Small Business
Administration. Further, 31,765 registrants (approximately 83 percent)
indicated that they offer or transport hazardous materials solely by
highway method.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See PHMSA Hazardous Materials Registration Program
Registration Data Files, link available at: https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/registration, accessed on March 18, 2016.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
If we assume (for conservative estimation purposes) that all
registrants will purchase copies of the ICAO and IMDG publications,
this indicates an estimated cost of $19.3 million (rounded, $508.70
cost of ICAO and IMDG publications x 38,070 registrants). However, we
further assume that the two publications included in the $19.3 cost
(ICAO Technical Instructions (for air) and IMDG Code (by vessel)) will
not apply to such registrants who indicated that they offer or
transport in commerce hazardous materials only via highway. Therefore,
costs for the 31,765 highway-only registrants would be zero. To
counterbalance a registrant purchasing more than one copy, we
conservatively assume all other registrants--while acknowledging that,
in fact, some will purchase both standards copies and some will
purchase none--will purchase updated copies of all standards
publications listed here, indicating a rounded cost of $3.2 million
($508.70 x 6,305 registrants [38,070 total registrants - 31,765
highway-only registrants]).
All of the ISO standards incorporated will not be purchased by the
majority of shippers and carriers and, thus, will likely only impact a
small subset of the regulated community. Further, we assume that many
companies will purchase multiple copies of the ISO codes, rather than
only one copy. Manufacturers of pressure receptacles impacted by the
ISO codes are included in the North American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) 332420 ``Metal Tank (Heavy Gauge) Manufacturing,'' which
includes cylinders, and NAICS 332911 ``Industrial Valve
Manufacturing,'' or more generally in NAICS 332, ``Fabricated Metal
Product Manufacturing.'' Users of pressure receptacles impacted by the
ISO codes are included in NAICS 325120 ``Industrial Gas
Manufacturing,'' or more generally in NAICS 325 ``Chemical
Manufacturing.'' Testers and requalifiers of pressure receptacles are
included in NAICS 541380 ``Testing Laboratories,'' or more generally in
NAICS 541 ``Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services.'' The
more conservative, all-encompassing three-digit NAICS industries are
used to estimate impacted entities, as each entity may purchase more
than one copy of a publication. The PHMSA registration database has 834
registrants in NAICS 332; 3,335 registrants in NAICS 325; and 415
registrants in NAICS 541, for a total of 4,584 impacted registrants. It
costs each impacted registrant $1,853 to purchase the ISO standards, or
$8.5 million total (rounded, 4,584 impacted registrants x $1,853 cost
per registrant).
It will cost $3.2 million to purchase the ICAO and IMDG
publications and $8.5 million to purchasing the ISO publications,
giving a total one-time cost of $11.7 million. We do not believe we
have sufficient data to estimate the precise number of registrants.
However, we use one copy per impacted registrant as a reasonably
conservative estimate on costs of the proposed rulemaking. It should
also be noted that several of the companies purchasing the
international standards may serve international markets and would have
purchased these publications even in the absence of this rulemaking.
Therefore, costs due to this proposed rule are likely lower than these
estimates.
Lithium Battery Hazard Communication: PHMSA anticipates that
incorporating a new battery label in place of the existing label and
requiring a new lithium battery label in place of the existing label
will be cost neutral. We anticipate that the price of the new label
will be similar to the price of existing labels. The proposed amendment
provides a phase-in period to December 2018, allowing shippers and
carriers of the impacted lithium battery shipments a sufficient
transition period to use the new label.
PHMSA anticipates that incorporating a new standard lithium battery
mark across all modes will provide consistent hazard communication,
reduce training costs, and facilitate intermodal movements. Expanding
the scope of packages requiring application of the new lithium battery
mark for small shipments of lithium batteries will provide benefits
pertaining to better identification of lithium battery shipments, but
it will likely involve some amount of increased compliance cost. As
with the proposed labeling
[[Page 61772]]
revisions, PHMSA would provide a phase-in period to December 2018,
allowing shippers and carriers of the impacted lithium battery
shipments a sufficient transition period to use the new mark.
PHMSA anticipates that eliminating additional document requirements
for shipments of small lithium batteries will likely provide economic
benefits and cost savings to shippers.
However, PHMSA anticipates the provision increasing the number of
packages containing lithium batteries installed in equipment that have
to be marked with the lithium battery mark will increase compliance
costs. The proposals in this NPRM would apply the lithium battery mark
to an expanded number of lithium batteries installed in equipment
(LBIIE) packages. Currently packages that contain ``no more than four
lithium cells or two lithium batteries installed in equipment'' are not
subject to marking requirements regardless of how many packages are in
a single shipment. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to require each package
that contains lithium batteries installed in equipment to display the
lithium battery marking when there are more than two packages in the
consignment.
We assume that U.S. manufacturers of certain equipment containing
lithium batteries and wholesalers of LBIIE that supply retailers with
consignments containing more than two packages of LBIIE will be most
impacted by the proposed provision.\15\ We anticipate the provisions of
this proposed change to impact U.S.-based manufacturers, wholesalers,
and certain retailers of lithium batteries and equipment containing
lithium batteries. PHMSA specifically solicits comment on the types and
numbers of entities that are to be impacted by this proposed change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\15\ We assume that most retailers selling to end users are
likely not impacted, as we assume that they primarily ship single
units of LBIIE for the majority of their consignments, which would
not require marking due to the two or few packages per consignment
exception. However, we solicit comment on whether this assumption is
appropriate and welcome data confirming or refuting this assumption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total domestic manufacturer and wholesaler marking costs as
illustrated in the RIA in the docket for this rulemaking approximates
the upper bound annual cost of the provision to be about $4.9 million
($838,456 + $7,665 + $4.0 million).\16\ We anticipate that the cost
will be substantially lower because many domestic manufacturers and
shippers may already label their LBIIE packages with a current lithium
battery label (regardless if required by the HMR); not all of these
shippers would necessarily ship LBIIE with more than two packages per
shipment (for which shipments would be excepted from the lithium
battery marking requirements of this provision); and transitioning to
the new lithium battery mark may have minimal impact.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\16\ Because of the 2-year transition period, these costs would
not be encountered until the third year after finalizing the rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Net Benefit
Based on the discussions of benefits and costs provided above,
PHMSA estimates the net benefit associated with the rulemaking to be
$63.2 million-69 million in the first year after publication and $70
million-75.8 million in the second year after publication. Please see
the complete RIA for a more detailed analysis of the costs and benefits
of this proposed rule.
C. Executive Order 13132
This proposed rule has been analyzed in accordance with the
principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13132
(``Federalism''). It preempts State, local, and Indian tribe
requirements but does not propose any regulation that has 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 hazmat law, 49 U.S.C. 5101-5128, contains an express
preemption provision (49 U.S.C. 5125(b)) that preempts State, local,
and Indian tribe requirements on certain covered subjects, as follows:
(1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous
material;
(2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and
placarding of hazardous material;
(3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents
related to hazardous material 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; and
(5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, inspection, marking,
maintenance, recondition, repair, or testing of a packaging or
container represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use
in transporting hazardous material in commerce.
This proposed rule addresses covered subject items (1), (2), (3),
(4), and (5) above and preempts State, local, and Indian tribe
requirements not meeting the ``substantively the same'' standard. This
proposed rule is necessary to incorporate changes adopted in
international standards, effective January 1, 2017. If the proposed
changes are not adopted in the HMR, U.S. companies--including numerous
small entities competing in foreign markets--would be at an economic
disadvantage because of their need to comply with a dual system of
regulations. The changes in this proposed rulemaking are intended to
avoid this result. Federal hazmat law provides at 49 U.S.C. 5125(b)(2)
that, if DOT issues a regulation concerning any of the covered
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 two years after the date of issuance. PHMSA
proposes the effective date of Federal preemption be 90 days from
publication of a final rule in this matter.
D. Executive Order 13175
This proposed rule was analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this proposed
rule does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial
direct compliance costs, and is required by statute, 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. This
proposed rule facilitates the transportation of hazardous materials in
international commerce by providing consistency with international
standards. It applies to offerors and carriers of hazardous materials,
some of whom are small entities, such as chemical manufacturers, users
and suppliers, packaging manufacturers, distributors, and training
companies. As previously discussed under ``Executive Order 12866,'' the
majority of amendments in this proposed rule should result in cost
savings and ease the regulatory compliance burden for shippers engaged
in domestic and international commerce, including trans-border
shipments within North America.
[[Page 61773]]
Many companies will realize economic benefits as a result of these
amendments. Additionally, the changes effected by this NPRM will
relieve U.S. companies, including small entities competing in foreign
markets, from the burden of complying with a dual system of
regulations. Therefore, we certify that these amendments will not, if
promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial number
of small entities.
This proposed rule has been developed in accordance with Executive
Order 13272 (``Proper Consideration of Small Entities in Agency
Rulemaking'') and DOT's procedures and policies to promote compliance
with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure that potential impacts of
draft rules on small entities are properly considered.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
PHMSA currently has approved information collections under Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Control Number 2137-0557, ``Approvals
for Hazardous Materials,'' and OMB Control Number 2137-0034,
``Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers & Emergency Response
Information.'' We anticipate that this proposed rule will result in an
increase in the annual burden for OMB Control Number 2137-0034 due to
an increase in the number of applications for modifications to existing
holders of DOT-issued RINs. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to amend Sec.
107.805(f)(2) to allow RIN holders to submit an application containing
all the required information prescribed in Sec. 107.705(a);
identifying the TC, CTC, CRC, or BTC specification cylinder(s) or
tube(s) to be inspected; certifying the requalifier will operate in
compliance with the applicable TDG Regulations; and certifying the
persons performing requalification have been trained and have the
information contained in the TDG Regulations. This application would be
in addition to any existing application and burden encountered during
the initial RIN application.
We anticipate this proposed rule will result in a decrease in the
annual burden and costs of OMB Control Number 2137-0034. This burden
and cost decrease is primarily attributable to the proposed removal of
the alternative document currently required for lithium cells or
batteries offered in accordance with Sec. 173.185(c). Additional
increased burdens and costs to OMB Control Number 2137-0034 in this
proposed rule are attributable to a new proposed indication on shipping
papers that a shipment of prototype or low production run lithium
batteries or cells is in accordance with Sec. 173.185(e)(7) and the
proposed addition of new marine pollutant entries.
This rulemaking identifies revised information collection requests
that PHMSA will submit to OMB for approval based on the requirements in
this NPRM. PHMSA has developed burden estimates to reflect changes in
this NPRM and estimates the information collection and recordkeeping
burdens in this rule are as follows:
OMB Control Number 2137-0557
Annual Increase in Number of Respondents: 3,600.
Annual Increase in Annual Number of Responses: 3,600.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Hours: 1,800.
Annual Increase in Annual Burden Costs: $63,000.
OMB Control Number 2137-0034
Annual Decrease in Number of Respondents: 972,551.
Annual Decrease in Annual Number of Responses: 9,765,507.
Annual Decrease in Annual Burden Hours: 27,161.
Annual Decrease in Annual Burden Costs: $950,635.
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, no person is required to
respond to an information collection unless it has been approved by OMB
and displays a valid OMB control number. Section 1320.8(d) of 5 CFR
requires that PHMSA provide interested members of the public and
affected agencies an opportunity to comment on information and
recordkeeping requests. PHMSA specifically solicits comment on the
information collection and recordkeeping burdens associated with
developing, implementing, and maintaining these proposed requirements.
Address written comments to the Dockets Unit as identified in the
ADDRESSES section of this rulemaking. We must receive comments
regarding information collection burdens prior to the close of the
comment period as identified in the DATES section of this rulemaking.
In addition, you may submit comments specifically related to the
information collection burden to the PHMSA Desk Officer, Office of

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 of 1995
This proposed rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of
$141.3 million or more, adjusted for inflation, to either State, local,
or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector in
any one year, and is the least burdensome alternative that achieves the
objective of the rule.
I. Environmental Assessment
The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, 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
that implement NEPA (40 CFR parts 1500 through 1508) require 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.
1. Purpose and Need
This NPRM would amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49
CFR parts 171 through 180) to maintain consistency with international
standards by incorporating the 19th Revised Edition of the UN
Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Model Regulations,
Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code, the 2017-2018 ICAO Technical
Instructions, and Canada's newest amendments to TDG Regulations.
This action is necessary to incorporate changes adopted in the IMDG
Code, the ICAO Technical Instructions, and the UN Model Regulations,
effective January 1, 2017. If the changes in this proposed rule are not
adopted in the HMR by this effective date, U.S. companies--including
numerous small entities
[[Page 61774]]
competing in foreign markets--would be at an economic disadvantage
because of their need to comply with a dual system of regulations. The
changes in this proposed rulemaking are intended to avoid this result.
The intended effect of this action is to harmonize the HMR with
international transport standards and requirements to the extent
practicable in accordance with Federal hazmat law (see 49 U.S.C. 5120).
When considering the adoption of international standards under the HMR,
PHMSA reviews and evaluates each amendment on its own merit, on its
overall impact on transportation safety, and on the economic
implications associated with its adoption. Our goal is to harmonize
internationally without diminishing the level of safety currently
provided by the HMR or imposing undue burdens on the regulated public.
PHMSA has provided a brief summary of each revision, the justification
for the revision, and a preliminary estimate of economic impact.
2. Alternatives
In proposing this rulemaking, PHMSA is considering the following
alternatives:
No Action Alternative
If PHMSA were to select the No Action Alternative, current
regulations would remain in place and no new provisions would be added.
However, efficiencies gained through harmonization in updates to
transport standards, lists of regulated substances, definitions,
packagings, stowage requirements/codes, flexibilities allowed, enhanced
markings, segregation requirements, etc., would not be realized.
Foregone efficiencies in the No Action Alternative include freeing up
limited resources to concentrate on vessel transport hazard
communication (hazcom) issues of potentially much greater environmental
impact. Adopting the No Action Alternative would result in a lost
opportunity for reducing environmental and safety-related incidents.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under the No Action
Alternative.
Preferred Alternative
This alternative is the current proposal as it appears in this
NPRM, applying to transport of hazardous materials by various transport
modes (highway, rail, vessel, and aircraft). The proposed amendments
included in this alternative are more fully addressed in the preamble
and regulatory text sections of this NPRM. However, they generally
include:
(1) Updates to references to various international hazardous
materials transport standards;
(2) Amendments to the Hazardous Materials Table to include four new
Division 4.1 entries for polymerizing substances and to add into the
HMR defining criteria, authorized packagings, and safety requirements;
(3) Amendments to add, revise, or remove certain proper shipping
names, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations,
bulk packaging requirements, and vessel stowage requirements;
(4) Changes to add the following substances to the list of marine
pollutants in appendix B to Sec. 172.101: Hexanes; Hypochlorite
solutions; Isoprene, stabilized; N-Methylaniline; Methylcyclohexane;
and Tripropylene;
(5) Changes throughout the part 173 packaging requirements to
authorize more flexibility when choosing packages for hazardous
materials;
(6) Various amendments to packaging requirements for the vessel
transportation of water-reactive substances;
(7) Revisions to hazard communication requirements for shipments of
lithium batteries consistent with changes adopted in the 19th Revised
Edition of the UN Model Regulations; and
(8) Amendments to the HMR resulting from coordination with Canada
under the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council (RCC).
3. Probable Environmental Impact of the Alternatives
No Action Alternative
If PHMSA were to select the No Action Alternative, current
regulations would remain in place and no new provisions would be added.
However, efficiencies gained through harmonization in updates to
transport standards, lists of regulated substances, definitions,
packagings, stowage requirements/codes, flexibilities allowed, enhanced
markings, segregation requirements, etc., would not be realized.
Foregone efficiencies in the No Action Alternative include freeing up
limited resources to concentrate on vessel transport hazcom issues of
potentially much greater environmental impact.
Additionally, the Preferred Alternative encompasses enhanced and
clarified regulatory requirements, which would result in increased
compliance and a decreased number of environmental and safety
incidents. Not adopting the proposed environmental and safety
requirements in the NPRM under the No Action Alternative would result
in a lost opportunity for reducing environmental and safety-related
incidents.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under the No Action
Alternative.
Preferred Alternative
If PHMSA selects the provisions as proposed in this NPRM, safety
and environmental risks would be reduced and that protections to human
health and environmental resources would be increased. Potential
environmental impacts of each proposed amendment in the preferred
alternative are discussed as follows:
1. Incorporation by Reference: PHMSA proposes to update references
to various international hazardous materials transport standards
including the 2017-2018 ICAO Technical Instructions; Amendment 38-16 to
the IMDG Code; the 19th Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations;
the 6th Revised Edition of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria; and the
latest amendments to the Canadian TDG Regulations. Additionally, we
propose to add one new reference to standards and update eight other
references to standards applicable to the manufacture use and
requalification of pressure vessels published by the International
Organization for Standardization.
This proposed amendment, which will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in greater protection of human
health and the environment. Consistency between U.S. and international
regulations enhances the safety and environmental protection of
international hazardous materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of industry
compliance, the smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of
origin to their points of destination, and consistent emergency
response in the event of a hazardous materials incident. The HMR
authorize shipments prepared in accordance with the ICAO Technical
Instructions and by motor vehicle either before or after being
transported by aircraft. Similarly, the HMR authorize shipments
prepared in accordance with the IMDG Code if all or part of the
transportation is by vessel. The authorizations to use the ICAO
Technical Instructions and the IMDG Code are subject to certain
conditions and limitations outlined in part 171 subpart C.
Harmonization will result in more targeted and effective training
and
[[Page 61775]]
thereby enhanced environmental protection. This proposed amendment will
eliminate inconsistent hazardous materials regulations, which hamper
compliance training efforts. For ease of compliance with appropriate
regulations, air and vessel carriers engaged in the transportation of
hazardous materials generally elect to comply with the ICAO Technical
Instructions and IMDG Code as appropriate. Consistency between these
international regulations and the HMR allows shippers and carriers to
train their hazmat employees in a single set of requirements for
classification, packaging, hazard communication, handling, stowage,
etc., thereby minimizing the possibility of improperly preparing and
transporting a shipment of hazardous materials because of differences
between domestic and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
2. Consistent with amendments adopted into the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to revise the Hazardous Materials Table in
Sec. 172.101 to include four new Division 4.1 entries for polymerizing
substances. Additionally, we propose to add into the HMR defining
criteria, authorized packagings, and safety requirements including, but
not limited to, stabilization methods and operational controls.
This proposed amendment, which will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in greater protection of human
health and the environment. Consistency between U.S. and international
regulations enhances the safety and environmental protection of
international hazardous materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of industry
compliance, the smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of
origin to their points of destination, and consistent emergency
response in the event of a hazardous materials incident. New and
revised entries to the HMT reflect emerging technologies and a need to
better describe or differentiate between existing entries. These
proposed changes mirror changes in the Dangerous Goods List of the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, the 2017-2018 ICAO
Technical Instructions, and the Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code. It is
extremely important for the domestic HMR to mirror these international
standards regarding the entries in the HMT to allow for consistent
naming conventions across modes and international borders.
Harmonization will result in more targeted and effective training
and thereby enhanced environmental protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous materials regulations, which
hamper compliance training efforts. For ease of compliance with
appropriate regulations, international carriers engaged in the
transportation of hazardous materials by vessel generally elect to
comply with the IMDG Code. Consistency between these international
regulations and the HMR allows shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication, handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Inclusion of entries in the HMT reflects a degree of danger
associated with a particular material and identifies appropriate
packaging. This proposed change provides a level of consistency for all
articles specifically listed in the HMT, without diminishing
environmental protection and safety.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
3. PHMSA proposes amendments to the HMT to add, revise, or remove
certain proper shipping names, packing groups, special provisions,
packaging authorizations, bulk packaging requirements, and vessel
stowage requirements. Amendments to HMT proper shipping names include:
Assigning the existing ``Engines, internal combustion'' entries to
their own new UN numbers and provisions; amending existing ``Uranium
Hexafluoride'' entries to include a new Division 6.1 subsidiary hazard
class designation; adding a new entry for ``Polyester resin kit, solid
base material; and adding a Division 1.4C new entry for ``Rocket
motors.'' Additionally, we also propose to add and revise special
provisions, large packaging authorizations, and intermediate bulk
container (IBC) authorizations consistent with the UN Model Regulations
to provide a wider range of packaging options to shippers of hazardous
materials.
This proposed amendment, which will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in greater protection of human
health and the environment. Consistency between U.S. and international
regulations enhances the safety and environmental protection of
international hazardous materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of industry
compliance, the smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of
origin to their points of destination, and consistent emergency
response in the event of a hazardous materials incident. New and
revised entries to the HMT reflect emerging technologies and a need to
better describe or differentiate between existing entries. These
proposed changes mirror changes in the Dangerous Goods List of the 19th
Revised Edition of the UN Model Regulations, the 2017-2018 ICAO
Technical Instructions, and the Amendment 38-16 to the IMDG Code. It is
extremely important for the domestic HMR to mirror these international
standards regarding the entries in the HMT to allow for consistent
naming conventions across modes and international borders.
Harmonization will result in more targeted and effective training
and thereby enhanced environmental protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous materials regulations, which
hamper compliance training efforts. For ease of compliance with
appropriate regulations, international carriers engaged in the
transportation of hazardous materials by vessel generally elect to
comply with the IMDG Code. Consistency between these international
regulations and the HMR allows shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication, handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Inclusion of entries in the HMT reflects a degree of danger
associated with a particular material and identifies appropriate
packaging. This proposed change provides a level of consistency for all
articles specifically listed in the HMT, without diminishing
environmental protection and safety.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
4. PHMSA proposes to add the following substances to the list of
marine pollutants in appendix B to Sec. 172.101: Hexanes; Hypochlorite
solutions; Isoprene, stabilized; N-Methylaniline; Methylcyclohexane;
and Tripropylene.
This proposed amendment, which will increase standardization and
[[Page 61776]]
consistency of regulations, will result in greater protection of human
health and the environment. Consistency between U.S. and international
regulations enhances the safety and environmental protection of
international hazardous materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of industry
compliance, the smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of
origin to their points of destination, and consistent emergency
response in the event of a hazardous materials incident. These proposed
additions and deletions are based on the criteria contained in the IMDG
Code for substances classified as toxic to the aquatic environment. The
HMR maintain a list as the basis for regulating substances toxic to the
aquatic environment and allow use of the criteria in the IMDG Code if a
listed material does not meet the criteria for a marine pollutant.
PHMSA periodically updates its list based on changes to the IMDG Code
and evaluation of listed materials against the IMDG Code criteria.
Amending the marine pollutant list will facilitate consistent
communication of the presence of marine pollutants and facilitate safe
and efficient transportation without imposing significant burden
associated with characterizing mixtures as marine pollutants.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
5. Consistent with amendments adopted into the UN Model
Regulations, PHMSA proposes to adopt changes throughout the part 173
packaging requirements to authorize more flexibility when choosing
packages for hazardous materials. These changes include design,
construction, and performance testing criteria of composite reinforced
tubes between 450 L and 3,000 L water capacity.
These proposed amendments permit additional flexibility for
authorized packages without compromising environmental protection or
safety. Manufacturing and performance standards for gas pressure
receptacles strengthen the packaging without being overly prescriptive.
Increased flexibility will also add to environmental protection by
increasing the ease of regulatory compliance.
Harmonization will result in more targeted and effective training
and thereby enhanced environmental protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous materials regulations, which
hamper compliance training efforts. Consistency between these
international regulations and the HMR allows shippers and carriers to
train their hazmat employees in a single set of requirements for
classification, packaging, hazard communication, handling, stowage,
etc., thereby minimizing the possibility of improperly preparing and
transporting a shipment of hazardous materials because of differences
between domestic and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
6. PHMSA proposes various amendments to packaging requirements for
the vessel transportation of water-reactive substances. The amendments
include changes to the packaging requirements to require certain
commodities to have hermetically sealed packaging and to require other
commodities--when packed in flexible, fiberboard, or wooden
packagings--to have sift-proof and water-resistant packaging or
packaging fitted with a sift-proof and water-resistant liner.
The proposed amendment will reduce the risk of fire on board cargo
vessels carrying hazardous materials that can react dangerously with
the ship's available water and carbon dioxide fire extinguishing
systems. PHMSA proposes to amend the packaging requirements for vessel
transportation of hazardous materials that react with water or moisture
to generate excessive heat or release toxic or flammable gases. Common
causes for water entering into the container are: Water entering
through ventilation or structural flaws in the container; water
entering into the containers placed on deck or in the hold in heavy
seas; and water entering into the cargo space upon a ship collision or
leak. If water has already entered the container, the packaging is the
only protection from the fire. In this NPRM, PHMSA proposes to
strengthen the ability of these packages transporting water-reactive
substances. This proposed amendment will allow for a net increase in
environmental protection and safety by keeping reactive substances in
their packages, thus preventing release and damage to human health and
the natural environment.
Harmonization will result in more targeted and effective training
and thereby enhanced environmental protection. This proposed amendment
will eliminate inconsistent hazardous materials regulations, which
hamper compliance training efforts. For ease of compliance with
appropriate regulations, international carriers engaged in the
transportation of hazardous materials by vessel generally elect to
comply with the IMDG Code. Consistency between these international
regulations and the HMR allows shippers and carriers to train their
hazmat employees in a single set of requirements for classification,
packaging, hazard communication, handling, stowage, etc., thereby
minimizing the possibility of improperly preparing and transporting a
shipment of hazardous materials because of differences between domestic
and international regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
7. PHMSA proposes to revise hazard communication requirements for
shipments of lithium batteries. Specifically, PHMSA proposes to adopt a
new lithium battery label in place of the existing Class 9 label; to
amend the existing marking requirements for small lithium battery
shipments in Sec. 173.185(c) to incorporate a new standard lithium
battery mark for use across all modes; to delete the documentation
requirement in Sec. 173.185(c) for shipments of small lithium cells
and batteries; and to amend the exception for small lithium cells and
batteries requiring the lithium battery mark from the current
applicability of ``no more than four lithium cells or two lithium
batteries installed in the equipment'' to ``no more than four lithium
cells or two lithium batteries installed in equipment, where there are
not more than two packages in the consignment.''
This proposed amendment, which will provide for enhanced hazard
communication, will result in greater protection of human health and
the environment by increasing awareness and preparedness.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
8. PHMSA proposes several amendments to the HMR resulting from
coordination with Canada under the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation
Council (RCC). We are proposing provisions for recognition of Transport
Canada (TC) cylinders, equivalency certificates, and inspection and
repair of cargo tanks.
This proposed amendment, which will increase standardization and
consistency of regulations, will result in greater protection of human
health and the environment. Consistency between U.S. and international
regulations enhances the safety and environmental protection of
international hazardous materials transportation through better
understanding of the regulations, an increased level of industry
compliance, the smooth flow of hazardous materials from their points of
origin to their
[[Page 61777]]
points of destination, and consistent emergency response in the event
of a hazardous materials incident. The proposed additions intend to
provide reciprocal treatment of DOT Special Permits and TC equivalency
certificates, DOT cylinders and TC cylinders, and cargo tank repair
capabilities in both countries. Amending the HMR will facilitate
consistent communication for substances transported by cylinders and
cargo tanks, thus decreasing not only incident response time, but the
number and severity of environmental and safety incidents.
The proposed action is consistent with concurrent actions by
Transport Canada to amend the TDG Regulations.
Greenhouse gas emissions would remain the same under this proposed
amendment.
4. Agencies Consulted
This NPRM represents PHMSA's first action in the U.S. for this
program area. PHMSA has coordinated with the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the
Federal Railroad Administration, and the U.S. Coast Guard, in the
development of this proposed rule. PHMSA will consider the views
expressed in comments to the NPRM submitted by members of the public,
state and local governments, and industry.
5. Conclusion
The provisions of this proposed rule build on current regulatory
requirements to enhance the transportation safety and security of
shipments of hazardous materials transported by highway, rail,
aircraft, and vessel, thereby reducing the risks of an accidental or
intentional release of hazardous materials and consequent environmental
damage. PHMSA concludes that the net environmental impact will be
positive and that there are no significant environmental impacts
associated with this proposed rule.
PHMSA welcomes any views, data, or information related to
environmental impacts that may result if the proposed requirements are
adopted, as well as possible alternatives and their environmental
impacts.
J. 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), or you
may visit https://www.dot.gov/privacy.html.
K. Executive Order 13609 and International Trade Analysis
Under Executive Order 13609 (``Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation''), 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
to protect the safety of the American public. PHMSA has assessed the
effects of the proposed rule and determined that it does not cause
unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade. In fact, the rule is designed
to facilitate international trade. Accordingly, this rulemaking is
consistent with Executive Order 13609 and PHMSA's obligations under the
Trade Agreement Act, as amended.
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 NPRM
involves multiple voluntary consensus standards which are discussed at
length in the ``Section-by-Section Review'' for Sec. 171.7.

Canada TDG Regulations, or the IAEA Regulations.
* * * * *
(a) Conditions and requirements for cylinders--(1) Except as
provided in this paragraph, a filled cylinder (pressure receptacle)
manufactured to other than a DOT specification or a UN standard in
accordance with part 178 of this subchapter, a DOT exemption or special
permit cylinder, a TC, CTC, CRC, or BTC cylinder authorized under Sec.
171.12, or a cylinder used as a fire extinguisher in conformance with
Sec. 173.309(a) of this subchapter, may not be transported to, from,
or within the United States.
(2) Cylinders (including UN pressure receptacles) transported to,
from, or within the United States must conform
[[Page 61782]]
to the applicable requirements of this subchapter. Unless otherwise
excepted in this subchapter, a cylinder must not be transported
unless--
(i) The cylinder is manufactured, inspected and tested in
accordance with a DOT specification or a UN standard prescribed in part
178 of this subchapter, or a TC, CTC, CRC, or BTC specification set out
in the TDG Regulations, except that cylinders not conforming to these
requirements must meet the requirements in paragraph (a)(3), (4), or
(5) of this section;
(ii) The cylinder is equipped with a pressure relief device in
accordance with Sec. 173.301(f) of this subchapter and conforms to the
applicable requirements in part 173 of this subchapter for the
hazardous material involved;
(iii) The openings on an aluminum cylinder in oxygen service
conform to the requirements of this paragraph, except when the cylinder
is used for aircraft parts or used aboard an aircraft in accordance
with the applicable airworthiness requirements and operating
regulations. An aluminum DOT specification cylinder must have an
opening configured with straight (parallel) threads. A UN pressure
receptacle may have straight (parallel) or tapered threads provided the
UN pressure receptacle is marked with the thread type, e.g. ``17E, 25E,
18P, or 25P'' and fitted with the properly marked valve; and
(iv) A UN pressure receptacle is marked with ``USA'' as a country
of approval in conformance with Sec. Sec. 178.69 and 178.70 of this
subchapter, or ``CAN'' for Canada.
(3) Importation of cylinders for discharge within a single port
area: A cylinder manufactured to other than a DOT specification or UN
standard in accordance with part 178 of this subchapter, or a TC, CTC,
BTC, or CRC specification cylinder set out in the TDG Regulations, and
certified as being in conformance with the transportation regulations
of another country may be authorized, upon written request to and
approval by the Associate Administrator, for transportation within a
single port area, provided--
(i) The cylinder is transported in a closed freight container;
(ii) The cylinder is certified by the importer to provide a level
of safety at least equivalent to that required by the regulations in
this subchapter for a comparable DOT, TC, CTC, BTC, or CRC
specification or UN cylinder; and
(iii) The cylinder is not refilled for export unless in compliance
with paragraph (a)(4) of this section.
(4) Filling of cylinders for export or for use on board a vessel: A
cylinder not manufactured, inspected, tested and marked in accordance
with part 178 of this subchapter, or a cylinder manufactured to other
than a UN standard, DOT specification, exemption or special permit, or
other than a TC, CTC, BTC, or CRC specification, may be filled with a
gas in the United States and offered for transportation and transported
for export or alternatively, for use on board a vessel, if the
following conditions are met:
(i) The cylinder has been requalified and marked with the month and
year of requalification in accordance with subpart C of part 180 of
this subchapter, or has been requalified as authorized by the Associate
Administrator;
(ii) In addition to other requirements of this subchapter, the
maximum filling density, service pressure, and pressure relief device
for each cylinder conform to the requirements of this part for the gas
involved; and
(iii) The bill of lading or other shipping paper identifies the
cylinder and includes the following certification: ``This cylinder has
(These cylinders have) been qualified, as required, and filled in
accordance with the DOT requirements for export.''
(5) Cylinders not equipped with pressure relief devices: A DOT
specification or a UN cylinder manufactured, inspected, tested and
marked in accordance with part 178 of this subchapter and otherwise
conforms to the requirements of part 173 of this subchapter for the gas
involved, except that the cylinder is not equipped with a pressure
relief device may be filled with a gas and offered for transportation
and transported for export if the following conditions are met:
(i) Each DOT specification cylinder or UN pressure receptacle must
be plainly and durably marked ``For Export Only'';
(ii) The shipping paper must carry the following certification:
``This cylinder has (These cylinders have) been retested and refilled
in accordance with the DOT requirements for export.'' and
(iii) The emergency response information provided with the shipment
and available from the emergency response telephone contact person must
indicate that the pressure receptacles are not fitted with pressure
relief devices and provide appropriate guidance for exposure to fire.

387 When materials are stabilized by temperature control, the
provisions of Sec. 173.21(f) apply. When chemical stabilization is
employed, the person offering the material for transport shall ensure
that the level of stabilization is sufficient to prevent the material
as packaged from dangerous polymerization at 50 [deg]C
(122[emsp14][deg]F). If chemical stabilization becomes ineffective at
lower temperatures within the anticipated duration of transport,
temperature control is required and is forbidden by aircraft. In making
this determination factors to be taken into consideration include, but
are not limited to, the capacity and geometry of the packaging and the
effect of any insulation present, the temperature of the material when
offered for transport, the duration of the journey, and the ambient
temperature conditions typically encountered in the journey
(considering also the season of year), the effectiveness and other
properties of the stabilizer employed, applicable operational controls
imposed by regulation (e.g., requirements to protect from sources of
heat, including other cargo carried at a temperature above ambient) and
any other relevant factors.
