Action
Final rule.
Summary
This final rule updates references in the Hazardous Materials Regulations to include the most recent amendments to international standards. Because of recent changes to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code (IMDG Code) and the International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions), these amendments are necessary to facilitate the continued transport of hazardous materials in international commerce by vessel and aircraft when these international regulations become effective.
