        <RULE_TITLE>Hazardous Materials: Miscellaneous Packaging Amendments</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[This rulemaking would add provisions for Large Packagings and revise the specification requirements for non-bulk packagings and portable tanks.  This rulemaking would address issues raised through enforcement actions and requests for clarification of the regulations by packaging manufacturers, third-part labs, and shippers.  Also, this action would address packaging closures, design modifications that may or may not require recertification.  This rulemaking was just upgraded to significant by OMB and PHMSA is adjusting its schedule to accommodate this change.]]></ABSTRACT>
