Today DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration
(PHMSA) published a final rule in the Federal Register (79 FR
15033-15046) adopting selected Special Permits and Competent Authority
listings into the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). This action changes certain
exceptions to the rules to being part of the rules.
PHMSA is incorporating all of the Special Permits (SP) listed
in the NPRM into the HMR with only one change:
SP 9275 - Shipments
of ethyl alcohol in quantities of 8 ounces or less are not required to be
marked with the words `contains ethyl alcohol'.
PHMSA also adopted the proposed
change to §175.34 that will make the following Special Permits unnecessary:
14903, 14908, 15062, 15075, 15076, 15077, 15078, 15079, 15092, 15094, 15095,
and 15143.
The four Competent Authority
approvals of packagings proposed in the NPRM are being adopted into the HMR
without change.
Finally the proposed revision to
§107.705(c) that would allow SP approval holders to continue to use an
expired SP while PHMSA continues to review the extension application if the
holder applied for an extension at least 60-days prior to the expiration of the
SP has been incorporated into the HMR.
The effective date for this rule is April 17th,
2014.
