Title: Harmonization With the United Nations Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions
Abstract: RSPA proposed to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to maintain alignment with international standards, promulgated by the United nations, the International Maritime Organization, the International Civil Aviation Organization, and the International Atomic Agency, by incorporating numerous changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air-transport quantity limitations and vessel stowage requirements. In a final rule published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2001, RSPA adopted some of the standards proposed in the NPRM. In a subsequent final rule, RSPA intends to adopt the other proposed standards.
