Action
Final rule; editorial revisions and response to petitions for reconsideration.
Summary
On December 29, 1994, RSPA published a final rule which amended the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain alignment with corresponding provisions of international standards. Recent changes 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 or ICAO TI), and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods (UN Recommendations) necessitated amendments to domestic regulations to provide consistency with international transport requirements and to facilitate the transport of hazardous materials in international commerce. This final rule corrects errors in that final rule and responds to petitions for reconsideration.
