| 2012-25853 | Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Certain Special Permits and Competent Authorities Into Regulations | Proposed Rule | The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits and certain competent authority approvals ("approvals") that have established safety records. Special permits allow a company or individual to package or ship a hazardous material in a manner that varies from the regulations provided an equivalent level of safety is maintained. An approval is a written consent (document) required under an international standard (i.e., International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)), or is specifically provided for in the HMR, and is issued by the Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety. These proposed revisions are intended to provide wider access to the regulatory flexibility offered in special permits and approvals and eliminate the need for numerous renewal requests, reducing paperwork burdens and facilitating commerce while maintaining an appropriate level of safety. Additionally, this rulemaking will address three petitions for rulemaking regarding the continued use of renewal applications for long standing special permits. | 2012-10-22 | 2012 | 10 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/10/22/2012-25853/hazardous-materials-incorporation-of-certain-special-permits-and-competent-authorities-into | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-10-22/pdf/2012-25853.pdf | Transportation Department; Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration | 492,408 | The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration is proposing to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations to incorporate provisions contained in certain widely used or longstanding special permits and certain competent authority approvals... |
