Hazardous Materials Regulations: Minor Editorial Corrections and
Clarifications
AGENCY: Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA),
DOT.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This final rule corrects editorial errors, makes minor
regulatory changes and, in response to requests for clarification,
improves the clarity of certain provisions in the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR). The intended effect of this rule is to enhance the
accuracy, and reduce misunderstandings of the regulations. The
amendments contained in this rule are minor changes and do not impose
new requirements.
DATES: Effective date: October 1, 2006.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kevin Leary, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards, (202) 366-8553, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials
Safety Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, 400 Seventh
Street, SW., Washington, DC 20590-0001.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
PHMSA annually reviews the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49
CFR Parts 171-180) to identify errors that may confuse readers.
Inaccuracies corrected in this final rule include typographical errors;
incorrect references to regulations in the CFR; inaccurate office names
and internet addresses; inconsistent use of terminology; and
misstatements of certain regulatory requirements. In response to
inquiries PHMSA received concerning the clarity of certain requirements
specified in the HMR, certain other changes are made to reduce
uncertainties.
Because these amendments do not impose new requirements, notice and
public procedure are unnecessary. By making these amendments effective
without the customary 30-day delay following publication, the changes
will appear in the next revision of 49 CFR.
The following is a summary by section of the changes made in this
final rule. It does not discuss all minor editorial corrections (e.g.,
punctuation errors), and certain other minor adjustments to enhance the
clarity of the HMR (e.g., corrections to office names and internet
addresses).

more than 50 percent ammonia'' UN2073, we are correcting Column (2) to
italicize the words ``relative density less than 0.880 at 15 degrees C
in water, with more than 35 percent but not more than 50 percent
ammonia''. This correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in this
rulemaking.
For the entry ``Fertilizer ammoniating solution with free
ammonia'' UN1043, we are correcting Column (2) to italicize the words
``with free ammonia''. This correction appears as a ``Remove/Add'' in
this rulemaking.

III. Regulatory Analyses and Notices
A. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures
This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866 and, therefore, was not
reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget. This rule is not
significant under the Regulatory Policies and Procedures of the
Department of Transportation (44 FR 11034). This final rule will not
result in increased compliance costs for hazardous materials shippers
or carriers; therefore, it is not necessary to prepare a regulatory
impact analysis.
B. Executive Order 13132
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria in Executive Order 13132 (``Federalism''). This final rule
does not adopt any regulation that: (1) Has substantial direct effects
on the States, the relationship between the national government and the
States, or the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government; (2) imposes substantial direct compliance
costs on State and local governments; or (3) preempts state law. PHMSA
is not aware of any State, local, or Indian tribe requirements that
would be preempted by correcting editorial errors and making minor
regulatory changes. This final rule does not have sufficient
[[Page 54390]]
federalism impacts to warrant the preparation of a federalism
assessment.
C. Executive Order 13175
This final rule has been analyzed in accordance with the principles
and criteria contained in Executive Order 13175 (``Consultation and
Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments''). Because this final rule
does not have tribal implications, does not impose substantial direct
compliance costs on Indian tribal governments, and does not preempt
tribal law, the funding and consultation requirements of Executive
Order 13175 do not apply, and a tribal summary impact statement is not
required.
D. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13272, and DOT
Procedures and Policies
I certify that this final rule will not have a significant economic
impact on a substantial number of small entities. This rule makes minor
editorial changes which will not impose any new requirements on persons
subject to the HMR; thus, there are no direct or indirect adverse
economic impacts for small units of government, businesses or other
organizations.
E. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995
This rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995. It does not result in costs of $120.7
million or more to either State, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector, and is the least burdensome
alternative that achieves the objective of the rule.
F. Paperwork Reduction Act
There are no new information collection requirements in this final
rule.
G. Environmental Impact Analysis
There are no environmental impacts associated with this final rule.
H. Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)
A regulation identifier number (RIN) is assigned to each regulatory
action listed in the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulations. The
Regulatory Information Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in
April and October of each year. The RIN number contained in the heading
of this document can be used to cross-reference this action with the
Unified Agenda.
