Action
Final rule.
Summary
RSPA is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by restructuring the cylinder specification requirements in its regulations on Specifications for packagings. The intended effect of this rulemaking is to reduce the size of the HMR through consolidation of repetitive requirements and other formatting changes. This action eliminates approximately 45 pages of regulations from the Code of Federal Regulations without substantially changing the regulatory requirements or affecting safety. It is in response to President Clinton's March 4, 1995 Regulatory Reinvention Initiative memorandum to heads of departments and agencies calling for a review of all agency regulations. RSPA is also making corresponding reference changes throughout the HMR.
