Proposed rulemaking; withdrawal of published proposals and termination of rulemaking.
Summary
On October 30, 1998, RSPA published a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) to amend certain requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations that apply to the maintenance, requalification, repair, and use of DOT specification cylinders. In addition, RSPA proposed to establish four new metric-marked cylinder specifications and to discontinue authorization for the manufacture of cylinders to certain current DOT specifications. For administrative purposes, RSPA is terminating action under this docket. Proposals in the NPRM related to establishing new metric-marked cylinder specifications and discontinuing current DOT specification cylinders are withdrawn. Proposals in the NPRM related to maintenance, requalification, repair, and use of DOT specification cylinders will be addressed in a final rule to be issued under a new docket number.
