Hazardous Materials: Shipping Description and Packaging of Oxygen Generators; Delay of Effective Date, Technical Amendments and Corrections

Final rule; delay of effective date, technical amendments and corrections.

On June 5, 1997, RSPA published a final rule which amended the Hazardous Materials Regulations by adding a specific shipping description to the Hazardous Materials Table for chemical oxygen generators. In this revision to the final rule, RSPA is delaying the effective date of the final rule for one month, authorizing permissive compliance immediately, correcting the identification number for chemical oxygen generators and a typographic error in the Hazardous Materials Table entry for them, and revising Special provision 60 for clarity and to provide additional time to conform to additional approval procedures.
