Action
Final rule; revisions and response to petitions for reconsideration.
Summary
This amendment makes revisions to a final rule published in the Federal Register under Docket HM-181E (59 FR 38040, July 26, 1994) in response to a number of petitions for reconsideration. This document also clarifies and makes corrections to the final rule. That final rule established requirements for the construction, maintenance and use of intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) for the transportation of hazardous materials. These changes respond to petitions for reconsideration regarding IBC authorizations, design, construction and use, and align requirements for IBCs with revisions in the 8th edition of the U.N. Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods and the 27th revision of the International Maritime Organization's International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.
