Title: Hazardous Materials: Adoption of Miscellaneous Petitions to Reduce Regulatory Burdens | |
Abstract:
In response to various petitions for rulemaking submitted by the regulated community, this rulemaking action amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to reduce regulatory burdens while maintaining or enhancing the existing level of safety. These changes have been identified as deregulatory in nature and provide a cost savings to industry. Specific examples include amending the HMR to adopt a phase-out schedule for certain tank cars used to ship chlorine by rail; revising section 172.302(b)(2) for consistency with section 172.326(a) and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code 5.3.2.0.2, to allow a minimum height of 12 mm (0.47 inches) for a proper shipping name marked on a portable tank that has a capacity of less than 3,000 L (792.52 gallons); revising section 173.5b to allow for the continued use of certain Portable and Mobile Refrigerator Systems thus providing significant regulatory relief to agricultural producers and related post-harvest precooling industry entities; and permitting the import of filled pi-marked foreign pressure receptacles for intermediate storage, transport to point of use, discharge, and export without further filling, as well as the import of certain pi-marked foreign pressure receptacles for filling, intermediate storage, and export. Additionally, this rulemaking action amends the HMR and respond to petitions that are identified as deregulatory in nature and provide a cost savings to industry. |
