Notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM).
Summary
RSPA is proposing to incorporate into the Department's Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) a number of changes, based on agency initiative, petitions for rulemaking and comments received at public meetings, to the classification of certain hazardous materials which are poisonous by inhalation and to provisions for the manufacture, use and reuse of hazardous materials packagings. The intended effect of these regulatory changes is to improve safety, reduce costs to offerors and transporters of hazardous materials, make the regulations easier to use and correct errors.
