Until December 31, 2026, UN cylinders may instead conform to ISO 98091:2010(E) (IBR, watches, cell phones, etc.). approaches are unnecessary or may impair the ability of American business to export and compete internationally. Using the schools chosen inquirycycle(Kath Murdochs model) and ourcustomisedplanning template, wedeveloped aunitplan. in vivo) and various PHMSA participates in the establishment of international standards to protect the safety of the American public, and it has assessed the effects of the proposed rule to ensure that it does not cause unnecessary obstacles to foreign trade. This longstanding requirement is clearly written in the HMR and PHMSA does not believe that any modification of the HMR is warranted. PHMSA does not believe that there is any formulation called 2-(N,N-Methylaminoethylcarbonyl)-4-(3,4-dimethyl-phenylsulphonyl)benzene diazonium zinc chloride that exists and that this entry as it appears is the result of an editorial error in which two individual formulation names were inadvertently combined. PHMSA proposes to amend the text of IP15 to clarify language pertaining to the authorized period of use of composite IBCs. www.transportation.gov/regulations/rulemaking-requirements-concerning-small-entities. To that end, the drop test, the marking, and test report requirements have been revised and clarified. Start Printed Page 34569. The new amendments adopted in December 2020 pertain to the transport of explosives, including alignment with revised Chapter 2.1 of the GHS, classification of self-reactive substances and polymerizing substances, and the assessment of the thermal stability of samples and temperature control assessment for transport of self-reactive substances and organic peroxides. The technical compound with the specified concentration limits may contain up to 12% water and up to 1% organic impurities. Report can be accessed in Docket No. 2023 Prediction Exams and November 2022 Past Paper Solutions available now! 1:2017 (IBR; see 171.7 of this subchapter); (d) see e.g., PHMSA proposes to lower the temperature threshold at which transport of certain materials in portable tanks require temperature control. The following table presents a summary of the monetized impacts that these proposed changes may have upon codification. PHMSA has analyzed this NPRM in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Currently, 2-(N,N-Methylaminoethylcarbonyl)-4-(3,4-dimethyl-phenylsulphonyl)benzene diazonium zinc chloride is listed, however this formulation name should be 2-(N,N-Methylaminoethylcarbonyl)-4-(3,4-dimethylphenylsulphonyl)benzenediazonium hydrogen sulphate. In the previous HM215 rulemaking, the word explosive was inadvertently made plural.

(iii) Organic peroxides types E and F with a SADT 45 C. Additional requirements for the shipment of adsorbed gases in UN pressure receptacles. ISO 10462:2013 specifies requirements for the periodic inspection and maintenance of acetylene cylinders. 5. 25. Professional development for teachers . This is consistent with the HMR precedence of the hazard table in 173.2a that instructs for a material that meets criteria for classification as both Class 3 and Division 6.1 (except for when a material meets the PG I poison-by-inhalation criteria), the flammability hazard takes precedence and is the primary hazard. 34. However, upon review, PHMSA noted that the international regulations generally require the marking of the Wh rating on the outside of the casing. Diluent type B with boiling point >100C. 1. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal (ii) Equipment must be secured to prevent damage caused by shifting within the outer packaging and be packed so as to prevent accidental operation during transport; (iii) Any spare lithium cells or batteries packed with the equipment must be packaged in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this section; and. ensure quality and fidelity in the implementation of the programmes. 5101, Noting existing differences in the HMR, include the definition for aerosol and the performance standards for their construction and use and thus because of the complexity involved in trying to harmonize the maximum pressure limits, PHMSA is not proposing to adopt these internationally implemented maximum internal pressure limits. Evanshas been withAcornsInternational Schoolfor the last 6years,transitioning from a homeroom teacher into a coordinating role inthe last 4 years. Section 171.25 outlines additional requirements for the use of the IMDG Code in addition to those found in 171.22 and 171.23. In a previous final rule, HM215O, PHMSA revised 173.224 to authorize self-reactive materials to be transported and packed in accordance with packing method OP8 where transport in IBCs or portable tanks is permitted in accordance with 173.225, provided that the control and emergency temperatures specified in the instructions are complied with. Hazard communication. In addition, PHMSA and its partners will not take enforcement action against any offeror or carrier who offers or accepts for domestic or international transportation by any mode packages marked or labeled in accordance with these standards. PHMSA proposes to add a new special provision, Special Provision 396, and assigning it to UN3538, Articles containing non-flammable, non-toxic gas, n.o.s.

Lastly, PHMSA proposes a correction to the proper shipping name for UN3380, which should read Desensitized explosive, solid, n.o.s.. Annual increase in burden hours: Updating references to these documents would align the HMR with changes adopted in the 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations pertaining to the design and construction of UN pressure drums. Absent adoption of the amendments proposed in the NPRM, U.S. companiesincluding numerous small entities competing in foreign marketsmay be at an economic disadvantage because of their need to comply with a dual system of regulations. Consistent with this change, PHMSA proposes to assign Class 3 as the primary hazard label and Division 6.1 as a subsidiary hazard label. Pressure receptacles is a collective term that may be used to refer to many types of pressurized containers of various sizes, such as cylinders, tubes, pressure drums, closed cryogenic receptacles, metal hydride storage systems, bundles of cylinders or salvage pressure receptacles. PHMSA is not proposing to make changes to the HMR consistent with these amendments. As part of its regular review of its standards, ISO updated and published the second edition of ISO 17871 as ISO 17871:2020. Additionally, for mixtures of true inert gases and fluorine, where the concentration of fluorine is below 35% by volume, pressure receptacles may be filled up to a maximum allowable working pressure for which the partial pressure of fluorine does not exceed 31 bar absolute, provided that when calculating the partial pressure, the coefficient of nitrogen equivalency is determined and accounted for in accordance with ISO 10156:2017. [15] 59 FR 7629 (Feb. 11, 1994). The 2020 edition of this standard broadens the scope to include quick release valves for pressure drums and tubes and specifically excludes the use of quick release valves with flammable gases. PHMSA agrees with this clarifying amendment and expects that adopting a similar change will enhance safety by removing uncertainty about whether the quantity limits also apply formaldehyde solutions. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML Those activities, in turn, have informed PHMSA's evaluation of the effect the updated consensus standards would have on safety, when incorporated by reference and with provisions adopted into the HMR. 171.7 of this subchapter). PHMSA is not proposing to make corresponding amendments to the HMR to authorize general multi-modal transport of FRP UN portable tanks.

Typically, these articles must be packed in UN specification packagings, and 400 kg is the maximum quantity permitted in such packagings. 19. While the requirement was added to the HMR for smaller cells or batteries (as a condition for use of an exception), no similar provision was added for other lithium ion cells and batteries ( PHMSA expects that the No Action Alternative could have a modest impact on GHG emissions. Specifically, this amendment would require the use of the 2019 standard and provide a phaseout date for continued use of the ISO 11513:2011 until December 31, 2024. (ii) Cylinders imported or domestically sourced for the purpose of filling, intermediate storage, and export. 2.
