Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), DOT.
Final rule.
This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor regulatory changes and, in response to requests for clarification, improves the clarity of certain provisions in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). In addition, this final rule revises references to the former Research and Special Programs Administration to reflect the creation of Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration. The intended effect of this rule is to enhance the accuracy, and reduce misunderstandings of the regulations. The amendments contained in this rule are minor changes and do not impose new requirements.
Effective date: September 28, 2005.
Kurt Eichenlaub, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
The Norman Y. Mineta Research and Special Programs Improvement Act of 2004 reorganized the Department of Transportation's pipeline and hazardous materials safety programs that were formerly a part of the Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA). The Act created the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA, we), a separate operating administration. PHMSA annually reviews the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to identify errors that may confuse readers. In this final rule, we revise all references to RSPA to reflect the creation of PHMSA. This final rule also corrects the following inaccuracies: typographical and printing errors; incorrect references to regulations in the CFR; inaccurate office names, routing symbols, and e-mail addresses; inconsistent use of terminology; and misstatements of certain regulatory requirements.
Because these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and public procedure are unnecessary. By making these amendments effective without the customary 30-day delay following publication, the changes will appear in the next revision of 49 CFR.
The following is a summary by section of the changes made in this final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial corrections ( e.g., punctuation errors), and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the clarity of the HMR ( e.g., corrections to office names, routing symbols and e-mail addresses).
Appendix A to Subpart D of Part 107: In Appendix A to Subpart D of Part 107, in section IV, paragraph C, we are revising the reference to “49 U.S.C. 5213(a)” to read “49 U.S.C. 5123(a)”.
Section 171.6. In paragraph (b)(2), the table of OMB control numbers is revised to reflect current control numbers, report titles, and affected sections for collections of information.
Section 171.8. In the definition for “Maximum Allowable Working Pressure or MAWP,” we are correcting the reference “178.320(c)” to read “§ 178.320(a)”.
Section 171.11. In paragraph (d)(6)(iv), we are amending the text by removing “radioactive material” and adding “limited quantities of radioactive material” in its place.
Section 172.101. The Hazardous Materials Table (HMT). We are correcting entries in the HMT as follows:
Section 172.102. In paragraph (c)(1), in Special provision 144, we are correcting the reference “40 CFR 180.12” to read “40 CFR 280.12”. In paragraph (c)(1), we are editorially revising Special provision 132 for clarity. In paragraph (c)(4), in the Table 1.—IB CODES (IBC CODES), in the IB2 entry, a typographical error is corrected.
Section 172.203. We are removing a requirement in paragraph (m) to include the word “Poison” or “Toxic” on a shipping paper if the fact that it is a poison is not disclosed in the shipping name or class entry. The requirement is no longer necessary because § 172.202(a)(2) requires the subsidiary hazard class(es) to be entered following the primary hazard class or division number.
Section 172.322. We are adding a new paragraph (f) to reference the exception for marine pollutants in § 171.4(c).
Section 173.3. In § 173.3, paragraph (c) introductory text is amended to include the proper tense of the word “place.” In addition, grammatical errors were corrected for clarity.
Section 173.4. In paragraph (a) (10), we are revising the text to remove an obsolete package marking statement.
Section 173.134. In paragraph (c)(1)(ii), we are correcting the reference “29 CFR 1910.103” to read “29 CFR 1910.1030”.
Section 173.222. In paragraph (c)(2), we are correcting the conversion “0.5 L (0.3 gallons)” to read “0.5 L (0.1 gallon)”.
Section 173.227. In § 173.227, in the section heading, a typographical error is corrected.
Section 173.315. Section 173.315(a) is revised to clarify that UN portable tanks used to transport liquefied gas must be loaded and offered in accordance with Special Provision T50 in § 172.102 and must otherwise comply with the requirements of § 173.315.
Section 173.403. In the definition for “Radioactive instrument or article,” we are correcting the wording “such as an instrument such as an instrument” to read “such as an instrument”.
Section 173.418. We are revising paragraph (e) to remove the reference to Column (8) of the HMT for authorized Type B packagings for pyrophoric Class 7 (radioactive) materials, because the entries for pyrophoric Class 7 ( printed page 56086) (radioactive) materials no longer appear in the HMT.
Section 173.421. We are correcting paragraph (a)(5) to state that a package may not contain fissile material unless excepted by § 173.453. Under § 173.421(a)(5) a package is limited to contain 15 grams or less of uranium-235. This package exception limit is actually in § 173.453 not § 173.426, and only applies to packages containing fissile material.
Section 173.427. In paragraph (b)(5)(i), we are correcting the reference “(§§ 179.200, 179.201, 179.202 of this subchapter)” to read “(§§ 173.31, and 179.201-1 to 179.201-11 of this subchapter)”.
Section 173.465. In paragraph (c)(1), we are correcting the reference to “Table 12” to read “Table 10”. Additionally, in column one of Table 10, we are correcting the wording “Packaging mass” to read “Package mass”.
Section 176.144. In § 176.144, in paragraph (a), in the “TABLE 176.144(a)—AUTHORIZED MIXED STOWAGE FOR EXPLOSIVES,” for compatibility groups “E” and “F” a typographical error which occurred during the printing process is corrected.
Section 176.905. In paragraph (i)(3), we are correcting the reference “46 CFR 70.10-44” to read “46 CFR 70.10-1”.
Section 177.848. We are reinstating a prohibition for storing, loading and transporting cyanides and cyanide mixtures or solutions with acids if a mixture of the materials would generate hydrogen cyanide. In a final rule published January 24, 2005, under Docket No. PHMSA 03-16370 (HM-233; 70 FR 3304), we revised paragraph (c) by adding a cross-reference to the § 173.12(e) exceptions from segregation requirements for storage, loading and transportation of cyanides, cyanide mixture or solutions with acids. We inadvertently removed the prohibition for loading, storage and transportation of cyanides, cyanide mixtures or solutions with acids when, if mixed the materials would generate hydrogen cyanide. In this final rule, we are reinstating the prohibition.
Section 178.245-1. In paragraph (e), we are correcting the reference “§ 173.300” to read “§ 173.115”.
Section 178.345-1. In paragraph (c), in the definition for “MAWP,” we are correcting the reference “§ 178.345-1(k)” to read “§ 178.320(a)”.
Section 178.350. We are revising this section to clarify that the term “Packaging manufacturer” used in § 178.3, for purposes of this section, means the person certifying that the package meets all requirements of § 173.412.
Section 180.352. On December 20, 2004, we published a final rule under Docket Number RSPA-04-17036 (HM-215G). In that final rule, we added a new paragraph (d)(i)(iv) authorizing retests and inspections performed under paragraphs (d)(1)(i) and (d)(1)(ii) of this section to be used to satisfy the tests and inspections required of paragraph (b) of this section (69 FR 76186). However, an editorial error occurred during the printing process that caused the text in revised paragraphs (e) and (f) and the text in new paragraph (g) to be inadvertently omitted. The original intent of this change was to keep the “repair” and “routine maintenance” requirements in this section separate. Therefore, we are revising § 180.352 to correct this editorial error.
This final rule is published under authority of Federal hazardous materials transportation law (Federal hazmat 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 final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is not significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). Because this rule has no economic impact, it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory impact analysis.
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (“Federalism”). This final rule does not adopt any regulation that: (1) 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; (2) imposes substantial direct compliance costs on State and local governments; or (3) preempts State law. PHMSA is not aware of any State, local, or Indian tribe requirements that would be preempted by correcting editorial errors and making minor regulatory changes. This final rule does not have sufficient federalism impacts to warrant the preparation of a federalism assessment.
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (“Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments”). Because this final rule does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial direct compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and does not preempt tribal law, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive Order 13175 do not apply, and a tribal summary impact statement is not required.
I certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule makes minor editorial changes which will not impose any new requirements on persons subject to the HMR; thus, there are no direct or indirect adverse economic impacts for small units of government, businesses or other organizations.
This rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $120.7 million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments, in the aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome alternative that achieves the objective of the rule.
There are no new information collection requirements in this final rule.
There are no environmental impacts associated with this final rule.
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 ( printed page 56087) Agenda in April and October of each year. The RIN number contained in the heading of this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the Unified Agenda.

11. Section 106.45 is revised to read as follows:
The following identifying numbers allow you to track PHMSA's rulemaking activities:
(a) Docket number. We assign an identifying number, called a docket ( printed page 56089) number, to each rulemaking proceeding. Each rulemaking document that PHMSA issues in a particular rulemaking proceeding will display the same docket number. This number allows you to do the following:
(1) Associate related documents that appear in the Federal Register .
(2) Search the DOT Docket Management System (“DMS”) for information on particular rulemaking proceedings—including notices of proposed rulemaking, public comments, petitions for rulemaking, appeals, records of additional rulemaking proceedings and final rules. There are two ways you can search the DMS:
(i) Visit the public docket room and review and copy any docketed materials during regular business hours. The DOT Docket Management System is located at the U.S. Department of Transportation, Plaza Level 401, 400 7th Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.

The Department of Transportation publishes a semiannual agenda of all current and projected Department of Transportation rulemakings, reviews of existing regulations, and completed actions. This semiannual agenda appears in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations that is published in the Federal Register in April and October of each year. The semiannual agenda tells the public about the Department's—including PHMSA's—regulatory activities. The Department assigns a regulation identifier number (RIN) to each individual rulemaking proceeding in the semiannual agenda. This number appears on all rulemaking documents published in the Federal Register and makes it easy for you to track those rulemaking proceedings in both the Federal Register and the semiannual regulatory agenda itself, as well as to locate all documents in the Docket Management System pertaining to a particular rulemaking.
12. Section 106.95 is revised to read as follows:
