The standards are general requisites established for schools to implement any IB programme. The updated standard has technical revisions including: a wider scope of cylinders ( the specific temperature controls applicable to decomposing and polymerizing substances transported in portable tanks. 74 FR 24693 (May 22, 2009). Finally, PHMSA proposes to remove the phrase when offered for transportation by aircraft from the introductory language in paragraph (a) and to restructure the existing first sentence of the section into two separate statements. As explained at greater length above in the preamble of this NPRM and in the PRIA (each of which is incorporated by reference in this discussion of the environmental impacts of the Proposed Action Alternative), PHMSA expects that the adoption of the regulatory amendments proposed in this NPRM would maintain the high safety standard currently achieved under the HMR. While PHMSA is not adding similar provisions for this type of mixture in DOT specification cylinders in this rulemaking, PHMSA has evaluated the rationale and the methods for determining the pressure limits in UN pressure receptacles and finds that they provide an equivalent level of safety. Though working with the 2014IBStandards and practices at the time, there was an overwhelming urge to honour student voice in a big way duringthis process. The whole school benefits from using the PYP curriculum framework to organize their curriculum and community. Start Printed Page 34583 (IBR, If PHMSA were to select the No Action Alternative, the HMR would remain unchanged, and no provisions would be amended or added. Using the schools choseninquirycycleand our customized planning template, wedeveloped aunitplan. https://store.icao.int/en/shop-by-areas/safety/dangerous-goods. III. This proposed rulemaking has been developed in accordance with Executive Order 13272 and with DOT's procedures and policies to promote compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act to ensure that potential impacts of draft rules on small entities are properly considered. This is consistent with paragraph (a)(26) which allows baggage equipped with lithium batteries to be carried as checked baggage if the batteries do not exceed 0.3 grams of lithium content or 2.7 Wh, respectively. In Vitro PHMSA expects that this change will provide clarity by referring to the specific requirement for hazard communication stipulated in this paragraph. 82 FR 15796 (Mar. All other standards that are set out as part of the regulatory text of 171.7(w) were previously approved for incorporation by reference and no changes are proposed. not in sleep or hibernation mode) and protected to prevent unintentional activation or damage, except portable electronic devices powered by lithium batteries with lithium content not exceeding 0.3 grams for lithium metal batteries and 2.7 Wh for lithium ion batteries are not required to be switched off. PHMSA has reviewed this edition as part of its regular participation in the review of amendments proposed for the UN Model Regulations and does not As a result of new peroxide formulations becoming commercially available, the 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations includes updates to the list of identified organic peroxides, which provides for formulations of these materials that are authorized for transportation without prior approval. PHMSA is not proposing this mark because it views the additional controls, specifically, the indication on the shipping paper, as well as other operational controls noted in the proposed special provision, as providing sufficient warning to those in the transport chain of the dangers present and mitigation of potential hazards. (A) The mark must be in the form of a rectangle or a square with hatched edging. 27.

PHMSA expects that this amendment will enhance safety by improving the communication of potential hazards, as without such indication, the need for shipment acceptance staff to check and ensure a copy of the approval accompanying the shipment can potentially be missed. In addition to permitting construction in accordance with ISO 16111:2018, the 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations added a December 31, 2026, phaseout date for the continued construction of UN metal hydride storage systems conforming to ISO 16111:2008. 4. The amendment also includes updates to the marking requirements in the normative Annex A, which includes clarifications, corrections, and new testing requirements. PHMSA agrees with this clarifying amendment and expects that adopting a similar change will enhance safety by removing uncertainty about whether the quantity limits also apply formaldehyde solutions. In my opinion, ourstudent survey of 2018-2019wasthemost significant success of this self-study exercise. Start Printed Page 34601 Specifically, in P1762, COSTHA requested that PHMSA add a reference to 173.167 in the individual sections that outline exceptions sections for Class 3, PG II and III (173.150), UN3175 (173.151), Division 6.1 PG III (173.153), UN3077, UN3082, UN3334 and UN3335 (173.155), and Class 2 non-toxic aerosols (173.306).

PDF Summary Brief: International Baccalaureate Standards - IB Mid-Atlantic 12. PHMSA has developed a more detailed analysis of these costs and benefits in the preliminary regulatory impact analysis (PRIA), a copy of which has been placed in the docket. In principle, all liquids or solids that have an inhalation toxicity hazard, and assigned PG I, should be subject to one of the two special provisions, as appropriate. The report following research conducted by APT noted that relaxing the temperature control requirements as proposed by HM215N is assessed to be an appropriate approach since it will harmonize U.S. regulations with international requirements and no additional hazards were identified for any common polymers during transport. No Corrosive subsidiary risk label is required for concentrations below 56%. PHMSA expects that correcting this conflict will improve safety by prohibiting corrosive materials that also pose inhalation hazards on passenger aircraft and limiting their transport on cargo aircraft. PHMSA has reviewed this edition as part of its regular participation in the review of amendments proposed for the UN Model Regulations and does not expect any degradation of safety standards in association with its use. Through the programme of inquiry and by reflecting on their learning, PYP students develop knowledge, conceptual understandings, skills and the attributes of the IB Learner profile. For each entry, the HMT identifies information such as the PSN, UN identification number, and hazard class. 1/2 Pursuant to the Trade Agreements Act, the establishment of standards is not considered an unnecessary obstacle to the foreign commerce of the United States, so long as the standards have a legitimate domestic objective, such as providing for safety, and do not operate to exclude imports that meet this objective. The safety and environmental benefits of the proposed rule have not been quantified. (3) Conformance with ISO 11118:2015 without the supplemental amendment is authorized until December 31, 2026 (IBR, While this rulemaking action is being completed through the final rule stage, PHMSA directs stakeholders to review the enforcement discretion notice available on the PHMSA website[17] The IMDG Code is a unified international code that outlines standards and requirements for the transport of dangerous goods by sea ( Reasonably Foreseeable Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives, 5. 5. 171.7 of this subchapter). 6. For lots of 30 or fewer, flattening tests are authorized to be made on a ring at least eight (8) inches long, cut from each cylinder and subjected to the same heat treatment as the finished cylinder. However, any economic benefits gained through harmonization of the HMR with updated international consensus standards (including, but not limited to, the 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations, the 20232024 ICAO Technical Instructions and amendment 4122 of the IMDG Code) governing shipping of hazardous materials would not be realized. PHMSA determined that certain elements of updated international regulations and standards should not be adopted into the HMR because the structure of the HMR is such that it makes adoption unnecessary, or PHMSA has deemed it is a safer approach to authorize certain transport requirements through issuance of a special permit rather than allow for general applicability by adopting those requirements into the HMR. To maintain consistency with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA proposes to update the Organic Peroxide Table in 173.225(c) by adding new entries for tert-Butylperoxy isopropylcarbonate, tert-hexyl peroxypivalate, and acetyl acetone peroxide, and identifying them as UN3105, Organic peroxide type D, liquid; UN3117, Organic peroxide type E, liquid, temperature controlled; and UN3107, Organic peroxide type E, liquid, respectively. hazard communication clarifications and revisions to lithium battery requirements for consistency). that revised 1 CFR 51.5 to require that an agency detail in the preamble of an NPRM the ways the materials it proposes to incorporate by reference are reasonably available to interested parties, or how the agency worked to make those materials reasonably available to interested parties. PHMSA notes that the amendments proposed in this NPRM are intended to result in cost savings and reduced regulatory burden for shippers engaged in domestic and international commerce, including trans-border shipments within North America.

These changes would remove the applicability of the limited quantity exceptions for these hazardous materials to correct an inconsistency regarding solid desensitized explosives. Paragraph (c)(3) specifies hazard communication requirements pertaining to the use of the lithium battery mark. 431 indicate that the substance or mixture is corrosive, but the test method does not clearly distinguish between assignment of Packing Groups II and III, the material must be assigned to Packing Group II unless further testing is performed. 31. As summarized in the Section IV. PHMSA proposes to remove the exceptions provided for small lithium cells and batteries for transportation by aircraft. PHMSA proposes to make an editorial correction to a reference to the formulations listed in 173.225. 51015128, 44701; 49 CFR 1.81, 1.96, and 1.97. b. Division 6.1, PG I to the HMT.

These are UN portable tanks with shells made of FRP materials instead of traditional steel. PHMSA proposes to make corrections to multiple HMT entries that were inadvertently modified in previous rulemakings. Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Typically, these articles must be packed in UN specification packagings, and 400 kg is the maximum quantity permitted in such packagings. Processes Updating references to this document would align the HMR with documents referenced in the 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations pertaining to metal hydride storage systems. i.e., expect any degradation of safety standards in association with its use.

Federal Register issue. However, during the course of the finalization of these changes in the UN Model Regulations, an additional precision was made regarding the word chime, which was removed from these testing requirements and replaced with the word edge. The wording was changed so as not to specify which direction the package should be dropped. DOT Order 5610.1C (Procedures for Considering Environmental Impacts) establishes departmental procedures for evaluation of environmental impacts under NEPA and its implementing regulations. The capability of a packaging to withstand an internal pressure without leakage that produces the specified pressure differential should be determined by successfully testing design samples or prototypes. This amendment would authorize the use of the second edition and add an end date of December 31st, 2026, to the authorization for use of the first edition, ISO 17871:2015(E), which is currently referenced in 173.301b. The results of this research will be used to better gauge the appropriateness of full adoption of the provisions, amendments to the requirements for approval or use, or a continued exclusion from the HMR. The 22nd revised edition of the UN Model Regulations made these same changes, deleting UN1169 from the Dangerous Goods List and changing the PSN for UN1197 to Extracts, liquid, for flavor or aroma to remove confusion associated with selection of the appropriate PSNs across the various languages of nations engaged in international shipments of the material. k Articles transported under this provision are limited to a maximum net quantity of gas of 75 kg by passenger aircraft and 150 kg by cargo aircraft.
