Title: 1998 Harmonization of Hazardous Materials Regulations With International Standards | |
Abstract: This rulemaking maintains harmonization of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) with international standards. Because of recent changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG), the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations), these revisions are necessary to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce. The first final rule made urgent changes that were necessary to align the HMR with the IMDG and ICAO Technical Instructions. The second final rule addressed all other harmonization proposals contained in the NPRM. | |
