Title: Hazardous Materials: Revision of Requirements for Fireworks Approvals 
Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the HMR by revising and clarifying requirements for the examination, testing, certification, and transportation of fireworks. This action would include consolidating the fireworks requirements into one section, limiting fireworks approvals to manufacturers only, requiring manufacturers to assign a unique "product identification number" to each firework, require 1.3G and 1.4G fireworks to be examined by authorized test labs, and implement an on-line application process.
