Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration Advisory Alert - September, 2009
The US Department Of
Transportation (DOT), Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety
Administration (PHMSA) and the COSTHA Air Carrier Roundtable
would like to remind the hazardous materials community that
effective
October 1,
2009, the new packaging requirements
for transporting cylinders containing compressed oxygen and
other oxidizing gases and packages of chemical oxygen generators
must be placed in rigid outer packagings that meet the specified
flame penetration and thermal resistance requirements when
transported aboard an aircraft. Advisory Alert - June, 2009Upcoming October 1, 2009 Compliance Date for Outer Packagings that Meet Certain Flame Penetration and Thermal Resistance Requirements when Transported Aboard AircraftIATA / ICAOMandatory changes for January 1, 2009.1) New Proper Shipping Names and Changes. 2) New Special Provisions. 3) New Excepted Quantity Mark. 4) New Marking & Labeling Requirements. 5) New Environmentally Hazardous Substance Mark. CFRRulemakings and Federal Register Notices - See all the rulesPHMSA Final Rule under Docket HM-218E Summary: PHMSA has published a final rule under Docket HM-218E containing changes related to cylinders and cargo tanks. It is interesting to note a policy statement near the end of the preamble relating to the reason for adopting the changes. It reads: “Alternative 2: Many of the industry standards currently incorporated by reference [in the regulations] have been revised and updated to incorporate new technology and methodology. Most of the amendments would relax requirements in certain instances or allow for alternative means of compliance while still ensuring safety, clarify regulatory requirements, and make the regulatory provisions more consistent—all in furtherance of the safe transportation of hazardous materials in commerce.” A copy of the final rule is attached: http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2009/pdf/E9-8021.pdf PHSMA (HM-232) Hazardous Materials: Security Requirements for Offerors and Transporters of Hazardous Materials Final rule - Published 3/25/2003: 68 FR 14509. Summary: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHSMA) is establishing new requirements to enhance the security of hazardous materials transported in commerce. Shippers and carriers of certain highly hazardous materials must develop and implement security plans. In addition, all shippers and carriers of hazardous materials must assure that their employee training includes a security component. Harmonization Rule Issued (HM-215J/HM-224D) Summary: Revision to Requirements for the Transportation of Batteries and Battery-Powered Devices; and Harmonization with the United Nations Recommendations, International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, and International Civil Aviation Organization's Technical Instructions
72 FR 55091 SUMMARY: On January 31, 2007, PHMSA published a final rule that amended requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations applicable to the air transportation of compressed oxygen cylinders and oxygen generators. In response to appeals submitted by entities affected by the January 31 final rule, this final rule amends requirements adopted in the January 31, 2007 final rule and delays the effective date of these requirements from October 1, 2007 to October 1, 2008.
72 FR 44929 (HM-224C/E) SUMMARY: The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is amending the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to tighten the safety standards for transportation of lithium batteries, including both primary (nonrechargeable) and secondary (rechargeable) lithium batteries. Specifically, we are adopting with minor changes the amendments to the HMR published in an interim final rule on December 15, 2004, imposing a limited prohibition on the transportation of primary lithium batteries and cells as cargo aboard passenger-carrying aircraft. In addition, we are adopting many of the proposed changes to the HMR published under the April 2, 2002 NPRM; (1) Eliminating a hazard communication and packaging exception for medium-size lithium cells and batteries of all types transported by aircraft or vessel; (2) revising an exception for small lithium batteries and cells of all types to require testing in accordance with the United Nations Manual of Tests and Criteria; and (3) revising an exception for consumer electronic devices and spare lithium batteries of all types carried by airline passengers and crew. These amendments will enhance transportation safety by reducing fire hazards associated with lithium batteries and harmonizing U.S. and international standards.
