| 2016-11729 | Hazardous Materials: Carriage of Battery-Powered Electronic Smoking Devices in Passenger Baggage | Rule | The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is issuing a final rule to prohibit passengers and crewmembers from carrying battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices (e.g., e-cigarettes, e-cigs, e-cigars, e-pipes, e-hookahs, personal vaporizers, electronic nicotine delivery systems) in checked baggage and from charging these devices and their batteries on board the aircraft. However, these devices may continue to be carried in carry-on baggage. This action is consistent with the interim final rule (IFR) published in the Federal Register on October 30, 2015, and a similar amendment in the 2015-2016 Edition of the International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air (ICAO Technical Instructions). This final rule amends the Hazardous Materials Regulations to maintain alignment with the ICAO Technical Instructions. Furthermore, this final rule does not impact the existing rules on the transport of lithium batteries or other portable electronic devices that are transported for personal use in a passenger's checked or carry-on baggage. | 2016-05-19 | 2016 | 5 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/05/19/2016-11729/hazardous-materials-carriage-of-battery-powered-electronic-smoking-devices-in-passenger-baggage | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2016-05-19/pdf/2016-11729.pdf | Transportation Department; Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration | 492,408 | The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is issuing a final rule to prohibit passengers and crewmembers from carrying battery-powered portable electronic smoking devices (e.g., e-cigarettes, e-cigs, e-cigars, e-pipes,... |
