1625-AC73 202110 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1625 U.S. Coast Guard USCG 1600 Department of Homeland Security DHS 2021 Liquid Chemical Categorization Updates

The Coast Guard is proposing another update to the Liquid Chemical Categorization tables, in order to align them with the 2021 International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk and the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee’s Circular 25. The updated tables provide a list of liquid hazardous materials and liquefied and compressed gases approved for international and domestic maritime transportation, and indicate how each substance is categorized by its pollution potential, safe carriage requirements, chemical flammability, combustibility, and compatibility with other substances. This rule promotes the Coast Guard’s mission of maritime safety and imposes no additional cost to chemical shippers and vessel owners.
