Action
Final rule.
Summary
This final rule amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by updating incorporation by reference materials to include the most recent amendments to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code), the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions) and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations). This action is necessary to facilitate the continued transport of hazardous materials in international commerce by aircraft and vessel after these international standards become effective. The other changes proposed in the notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) under this docket will be addressed in a separate rule.
