Title: Hazardous Materials: Revision of Requirements for Carriage by Aircraft
Abstract: This rulemaking would propose that Part 175 be revised and rewritten in order to simplify and clarify the requirements, further align them with the international requirements (ICAO) and eliminate obsolete requirements. The NPRM clarifies the applicability of Part 175 (Carriage by Aircraft), excepts cargo aircraft from certain quantity limitations, separates the exceptions in Section 175.10 into three sections based on applicability, provides new separation distances for shipping radioactive materials by cargo aircraft, converts certain exemptions into the regulations, responds to petitions for rulemaking, makes revisions to more clearly conform to international standards, and rewrites Part 175 for easier understanding.
