Title: 2022 Liquid Chemical Categorization Updates 
Abstract:

The Coast Guard is proposing another update to the Liquid Chemical Categorization tables, in order to align them with the 2020 International Code for the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Dangerous Chemicals in Bulk and the International Maritime Organization’s Marine Environment Protection Committee’s Circular 25, which entered into force on January 1, 2021.  The updated tables provide a list of liquid hazardous materials and liquefied and compressed gases approved for international and domestic maritime transportation, and indicate how each substance is categorized by its pollution potential, safe carriage requirements, chemical flammability, combustibility, and compatibility with other substances.  This rule promotes the Coast Guard’s mission of maritime safety and imposes no additional cost to chemical shippers and vessel owners.
