| E6-21723 | Interstate Shipment of Etiologic Agents | Proposed Rule | HHS proposes to remove Part 72 of Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, which governs the interstate shipment of etiologic agents, because the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) already has in effect a more comprehensive set of regulations applicable to the transport in commerce of infectious substances. DOT harmonizes its transport requirements with international standards adopted by the United Nations (UN) Committee of Experts on the Transport of Dangerous Goods for the classification, packaging, and transport of infectious substances. Rescinding the rule will eliminate duplication of the more current DOT regulations that cover intrastate and international, as well as interstate, transport. HHS replaced those sections of Part 72 that deal with select biological agents and toxins with a new set of regulations found in Part 73 of Title 42. HHS anticipates that removal of Part 72 will alleviate confusion and reduce the regulatory burden with no adverse impact on public health and safety. | 2007-01-03 | 2007 | 1 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2007/01/03/E6-21723/interstate-shipment-of-etiologic-agents | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2007-01-03/pdf/E6-21723.pdf | Health and Human Services Department | 221 | HHS proposes to remove Part 72 of Title 42, Code of Federal Regulations, which governs the interstate shipment of etiologic agents, because the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) already has in effect a more comprehensive set of regulations... |
