B. Executive Order 12866 and DOT Regulatory Policies and Procedures

    This final rule is not considered a significant regulatory action
under section 3(f) of E.O. 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review''
\37\ and, therefore, was not formally reviewed by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB). This rulemaking is also not considered a
significant rulemaking under the DOT regulations governing rulemaking
procedures at 49 CFR part 5, subpart B. E.O. 12866 requires agencies to
regulate in the ``most cost-effective manner,'' to make a ``reasoned
determination that the benefits of the intended regulation justify its
costs,'' and to develop

regulations that ``impose the least burden on society.'' Similarly, DOT
regulations at Sec.  5.5(f)-(g) require that regulations issued by
PHMSA and other DOT Operating Administrations ``should be designed to
minimize burdens and reduce barriers to market entry whenever possible,
consistent with the effective promotion of safety'' and should
generally ``not be issued unless their benefits are expected to exceed
their costs.''

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In addition, E.O. 12866 and DOT implementing regulations at 49 CFR
5.5(i) require PHMSA to provide a meaningful opportunity for public
participation, which also reinforces requirements for notice and
comment under the Administrative Procedure Act. Therefore, in the NPRM,
PHMSA sought public comment on its proposed revisions to the HMR, the
preliminary cost and cost savings analyses in the Preliminary RIA, as
well as any information that could assist in quantifying the benefits
of this rulemaking. Those comments are addressed in this final rule,
and additional discussion about the economic impacts of the final rule
are provided within the RIA posted in the docket.
    In this final rule, PHMSA is introducing amendments to the HMR
responding to 24 petitions that have been submitted by stakeholders.
Overall, this rulemaking maintains the continued safe transportation of
hazardous materials while producing a net cost savings. PHMSA estimates
a present value of quantified net cost savings of approximately $0.72
million annualized at a 7 percent discount rate over a perpetual time
horizon. These estimates do not include non-monetized and qualitative
cost/cost savings discussed in the RIA.
    PHMSA's cost/cost savings analysis relies on the monetization of
impacts for three petitions included in this rulemaking. The following
table presents a summary of the three petitions that would have
monetized impacts upon codification and contribute to PHMSA's
estimation of quantified net cost savings.

    In addition to those three items, this rulemaking amends the HMR in
response to other petitions that are either (1) cost neutral or (2)
deregulatory in nature in that they provide relief from unnecessary
requirements or provide additional flexibility, but which have not been
monetized due to information gaps preventing quantification of cost
savings. Furthermore, PHMSA's actions in this final rule provide
regulatory certainty to industry and allow efficient movement of
hazardous materials resulting in increased economic activity.
    PHMSA's findings are described in further detail in the RIA posted
in the docket.

C. Executive Order 13771

    This final rule is a deregulatory action under E.O. 13771,
``Reducing Regulation and Controlling Regulatory Costs.'' \38\ Details
on the estimated cost savings of this final rule can be found in the
RIA posted in the docket.

D. Executive Order 13132

    This rulemaking was analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in E.O. 13132, ``Federalism'', \39\ and the
presidential memorandum (``Preemption'') that was published in the
Federal Register. \40\ E.O. 13132 requires agencies to assure
meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the
development of regulatory policies that may have ``substantial direct
effects on the States, on the relationship between the national
government and the States, or on the distribution of power and
responsibilities among the various levels of government.'' This
rulemaking may preempt State, local, and Tribal requirements, but does
not propose any regulation that 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. Therefore, the consultation and funding
requirements of E.O. 13132 do not apply.

    \40\ 74 FR 24693 (May 22, 2009).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Federal hazmat law contains an express preemption provision, 49
U.S.C. 5125(b), that preempts State, local, and Indian Tribal
requirements on the following subjects:
    (1) The designation, description, and classification of hazardous
materials;
    (2) The packing, repacking, handling, labeling, marking, and
placarding of hazardous materials;
    (3) The preparation, execution, and use of shipping documents
related to hazardous materials and requirements related to the number,
contents, and placement of those documents;
    (4) The written notification, recording, and reporting of the
unintentional release in transportation of hazardous material; and
    (5) The design, manufacture, fabrication, marking, maintenance,
recondition, repair, or testing of a packaging or container
represented, marked, certified, or sold as qualified for use in
transporting hazardous material.
    This final rule addresses covered certain of the subject items
above and preempts State, local, and Indian Tribe requirements
concerning those subjects unless the non-Federal requirements are
``substantively the same'' as the Federal requirements. PHMSA received
no comments on the NPRM regarding the effect of the adoption of the
specific proposals on State, local or tribal governments.

E. Executive Order 13175

    This rulemaking was analyzed in accordance with the principles and
criteria contained in E.O. 13175, ``Consultation and Coordination with
Indian Tribal Governments'' \41\ and DOT Order 5301.1, ``Department of

Transportation Policies, Programs, and Procedures Affecting American
Indians, Alaska Natives, and Tribes.'' E.O. 13175 requires agencies to
assure meaningful and timely input from Tribal government
representatives in the development of rules that significantly or
uniquely affect Tribal communities by imposing ``substantial direct
compliance costs'' or ``substantial direct effects'' on such
communities or the relationship and distribution of power between the
Federal Government and Tribes. PHMSA assessed the impact of the
rulemaking on Indian Tribal communities and determined that it would
not significantly or uniquely affect Tribal communities or Indian
Tribal governments. Therefore, the funding and consultation
requirements of E.O. 13175 do not apply. Further, PHMSA did not receive
comments on the Tribal implications of the rulemaking.

F. Regulatory Flexibility Act, Executive Order 13272, and DOT
Procedures and Policies

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act \42\ requires agencies to consider
whether their rulemakings will have a ``significant economic impact on
a substantial number of small entities'' to include small businesses,
not-for-profit organizations that are independently owned and operated
and are not dominant in their fields, and governmental jurisdictions
with populations under 50,000. This rulemaking has been developed in
accordance with E.O. 13272, ``Proper Consideration of Small Entities in
Agency Rulemaking,'' \43\ and DOT implementing regulations at 49 CFR
5.13(f) to ensure compliance with the Regulatory Flexibility Act
requirements regarding evaluation of potential impacts of draft rules
on small entities.

    1. Need for and objectives of the final rule.
    This final rule amends miscellaneous provisions in the HMR in
response to 24 petitions for rulemaking. While maintaining safety, this
final rule would amend certain requirements that are overly burdensome
and provide clarity and flexibility where requested by the regulated
community. The changes are generally intended to provide relief to
shippers, carriers, and packaging manufacturers, including small
entities.
    2. Significant issues raised by the public comments, a statement of
the assessment by PHMSA regarding such issues, and a statement of any
changes made in the proposed rule as a result of such comments.
    PHMSA did not receive any public comments suggesting that the
proposed amendments would have a significant impact on small entities.
Please refer to Section IV. (Discussion of Amendments and Applicable
Comments) above and the RIA for PHMSA's responses to comments submitted
in the rulemaking docket.
    3. PHMSA's response to any comments of the Chief Counsel for
Advocacy of the Small Business Association (SBA).
    PHMSA received no comments filed by the SBA in response to the
NPRM, and therefore has introduced no changes to this final rule in
response.
    4. An estimate of the number of small entities to which the rule
will apply or an explanation of why no such estimate is available.
    This final rule affects numerous small entities across a wide range
of industries. However, quantified impacts on entities, large or small,
could only be assessed for a few of the changes incorporated in this
final rule due to data limitations. These impacts are explained,
discussed and assessed in the accompanying RIA. For the purposes of
identifying affected small entities, PHMSA focused on the industries
for which quantified impacts could be estimated. PHMSA assumes that any
change that did not draw comment from the industry and could not be
quantified is unlikely to have a significant economic or other impact
on small entities. PHMSA therefore limits the discussion here to the
three items for which impacts could be quantified: (1) The adoption of
petition P-1688 adopting a wider range of basis weight for the paper
stock used to manufacture UN specification paper sacks; (2) P-1710
adopting a new AESC/IME standard for JPGs; and (3) P-1711 incorporating
by reference an updated APA Standard 87-1 pertaining to fireworks.
    The table below presents the U.S. Census Bureau Statistics of U.S.
Businesses (SUBS) revenue data for each relevant NAICS Code that could
be affected by incorporating P-1688.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Depending on the industrial sector, the SBA defines small entities
either by a revenue threshold or by the number of employees. As
identified in the accompanying RIA, the entities affected by the
adoption of petition P-1688 are in North American Industrial
Classification System (NAICS) code 322220--Paper Bag and Coated and
Treated Paper Products Manufacturing. Firms in this NAICS sector
manufacture a wide range of products, of which only a small subset are
shipping sacks or shipping sack feed stock. Data are not available that
would enable PHMSA to identify how many firms within the larger NAICS
manufacture both shipping sacks and feed stock for shipping sacks, much
less identify the number of small entities. Neither can PHMSA estimate
the revenues for those small entities with any degree of certainty. As
noted in the RIA, the high-end cost savings estimate is roughly
$160,000 in cost savings per year. PHMSA does not believe these modest
cost savings, spread among all affected manufacturers, would rise to
the level of a significant impact for affected small entities.
    The second industry to consider is associated with petition P-1710
and affects manufacturers of JPGs. As described in the RIA, there are
five NAICS sectors that manufacture, operate or contract JPG services.
These sectors include:
 NAICS Code 325920, Explosives Manufacturing
 NAICS Code 213111, Drilling Oil and Gas Wells
 NAICS Code 213112, Support Activities for Oil and Gas
Operations

 NAICS Code 333132, Oil and Gas Field Machinery and Equipment
Manufacturing
 NAICS Code 423830, Industrial Machinery and Equipment Merchant
Wholesalers

    The RIA quantifies impacts related to elimination of testing
requirements. The entities most directly impacted by this elimination
are manufacturers of JPGs. While the firms involved in drilling wells,
and equipment wholesalers, and support activities for oil and gas
operations may use JPGs they are unlikely to manufacture them. PHMSA
therefore uses NAICS codes 325920 and 333132 to identify the entities
most likely to be affected by the cost savings associated with the
changes associated with adoption of this petition. The small business
size threshold for NAICS 325920--Explosives Manufacturing--is fewer
than 750 employees. For NAICS 333132 the threshold for a small business
is fewer than 1,250 employees. Given the size threshold for NAICS
333132--Oil and Gas Field Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing, and
looking at the Census Bureau SUBS tables, for this NAICS, it seems
likely that virtually all firms in this industry qualify as small
businesses. The average number of employees per firm with 500 employees
or more is essentially 500 employees, indicating that even the largest
firms in this industry are not much larger than 500 employees. Given
that the threshold is more than double 500 employees, it seems
reasonable to assume that essentially all firms in this industry fall
under the SBA threshold.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The other NAICS under consideration (Explosives Manufacturing) has
a threshold of 750 employees. 15 of the 52 firms in this sector have
more than 500 employees. Again, it appears likely that the larger firms
are clustered nearer the 500-employee threshold and hence would qualify
as small businesses given a threshold of 750 employees.
    Both industrial sectors manufacture a wide range of products:
Explosives range from munitions, to fireworks, demolitions explosives,
etc. JPGs make up a small fraction of the product output for these
firms. Similarly, there is a wide range of drilling and other equipment
manufactured for oil and gas exploration, of which JPGs make up a small
fraction. Given the nature of the data available from the Census Bureau
or other sources, PHMSA is unable to identify the number of firms in
either of these broader industrial sectors that manufacture JPGs, much
less those that would qualify as small entities. Nor could PHMSA
identify revenues for small entities for use in making a significance
determination with any degree of certainty. Although PHMSA cannot
determine the number of JPG manufacturers or their revenues with any
degree of specificity, PHMSA does not believe that the cost savings
would amount to a significant impact on small entities, as estimated
cost savings would be $360,000 split among all manufacturers of JPGs.
    PHMSA concludes by evaluating the last provision of this final rule
for which it has quantified the economic impacts: That element
responding to petition P-1711 by incorporating an updated edition of
APA Standard 87-1 by reference. This provision is the only element of
the NPRM that drew adverse comments. These adverse comments are
addressed above in the preamble. To summarize PHMSA's response, the
items that drew the most concern appear to be unchanged from the
existing regulatory requirements. Insofar as that is the case, the
negative consequences for small entities alleged by the comments on the
NPRM do not result from adoption of the updated APA Standard 87-1.
    PHMSA did quantify some cost savings related to testing fireworks
associated with adoption of the updated APA Standard 87-1. These cost
savings result from reducing UN series 5 and 6 testing requirements for
certain classes of fireworks. As described in the RIA, PHMSA estimated
that this change may reduce testing costs by roughly $270,000 per year.
Such a reduction in costs would be to the benefit of the fireworks
industry, and PHMSA does not interpret these cost savings to be
significant.
    As described in the RIA, virtually all consumer fireworks, and
roughly 75 percent of display fireworks, are manufactured in China. The
RIA describes the U.S. fireworks industry as having about $1.2 billion
in revenue, of which consumer fireworks revenues account for about $885
million and display fireworks account for the remaining $353 million.
    Fireworks manufacturers fall into a miscellaneous NAICS code--NAICS
325998--All Other Miscellaneous Chemical Product and Preparation
Manufacturing. Fireworks manufacturing makes up a small fraction of the
economic activity in this industry, which has a total revenue of
roughly $22 billion according to the Census Bureau SUBS data. The SBA
size threshold for this industry is 500 employees: Firms with fewer
than 500 employees are defined as small entities and those with 500 or
more employees are not defined as small entities. The table below
presents the relevant SUBS data for this NAICS code.

    As with other sectors assessed in this section, PHMSA cannot
estimate the number of entities within the broader NAICS category that
manufacture fireworks. The NAICS category in question contains firms
that manufacture a wide range of products, only one small subset of
which are fireworks. Given the lack of data with more detailed
specificity, PHMSA cannot identify firms that manufacture fireworks,
much less identify small entities that manufacture fireworks, or
estimate revenue for those small entities. Given the relatively modest
estimate of $270,000 in annual cost savings, and that those savings
would be split among multiple firms, PHMSA does not expect the impacts
to be significant.
    5. A description of the projected reporting, recordkeeping and
other compliance requirements of the rule, including an estimate of the
classes of small entities which will be subject to the requirement and
the type of professional skills necessary for preparation of the report
or record.
    There are no reporting or recordkeeping requirements under the
``Paperwork Reduction Act'' associated with this final rule.
    6. Alternative proposals for small entities.
    The Regulatory Flexibility Act directs agencies to establish
exceptions and differing compliance standards for small entities, where
it is possible to do so and still meet the objectives of the applicable
regulatory statutes.
    To the extent that PHMSA received adverse comments, they were not
targeted at alleviating burdens on small entities. While PHMSA may
consider guidance to the extent that it is necessary to help clarify
responsibilities for small entities, PHMSA does not expect that
establishing exceptions to the HMR amendments in this final rule or
alternative requirements for small entities to address potential
concerns about the impact on small entities would accomplish the safety
objectives of Federal hazmat law. Moreover, many of the HMR amendments
introduced in this final rule--insofar as they relate to or incorporate
by reference technical specifications or industry standards--do not
accommodate different regulatory approaches based on whether the entity
is small entity or not. Further, as explained at length in Section IV.
(Discussion of Amendments and Applicable Comments) of this final rule,
the HMR amendments introduced in this final rule are generally
deregulatory in nature and intended to provide reduce regulatory
burdens on small entities and other members of the regulated community.
    7. Conclusion.
    The changes in this final rule are generally intended to provide
relief to shippers, carriers, and packaging manufactures and testers,
including small entities. As discussed above, a shortage of pertinent
data prevents PHMSA from quantifying economic impacts on small entities
potentially affected by most of the HMR amendments introduced in this
final rule. However, PHMSA has developed estimates for the numbers of
small businesses that may be affected by the HMR revisions introduced
in this final rule for which PHMSA has provided quantified cost
benefits. For those HMR amendments, PHMSA has compared cost savings
impacts to average small entity annual revenue and in none of those
cases does an impact rise to even 1 percent of average small entity
revenue, and in all cases the impacts reduce costs for the entities
affected. Therefore, PHMSA determines that this final rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities.

G. Paperwork Reduction Act

    PHMSA has analyzed this final rule in accordance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995.\44\ This final rule does not impose new
information collection requirements. PHMSA did not receive any comments
regarding information collection activities under 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 Regulatory and
Deregulatory Actions (Unified Agenda). The Regulatory Information
Service Center publishes the Unified Agenda in April and October of
each year. The RIN contained in the heading of this final rule can be
used to cross-reference this action with the Unified Agenda.

I. Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    The Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) \45\ requires agencies to
prepare a written assessment of the costs, benefits, and other effects
of proposed or final rules that include a Federal mandate likely to
result in the expenditure by State, local, or Tribal governments, in
the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more
annually, adjusted for inflation. A Federal mandate is defined, in
part, as a regulation that imposes an enforceable duty upon State,
local, or Tribal governments or would reduce or eliminate the amount of
authorization of appropriation for Federal financial assistance that
would be provided to State, local, or Tribal governments for the
purpose of complying with a previous Federal mandate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \45\ 2 U.S.C. 1501 et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This final rule does not impose unfunded mandates under the UMRA.
It does not result in costs of $100 million or more, adjusted for
inflation, to either State, local, or tribal governments, in the
aggregate, or to the private sector in any one year, and is the least
burdensome alternative that achieves the objective of the rule.

J. Environmental Assessment

    The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) \46\ requires
Federal agencies to consider the consequences of major Federal actions
and prepare a detailed statement on actions significantly affecting the
quality of the human environment. The Council on Environmental Quality
(CEQ)

implementing regulations (40 CFR part 1500-1508) require Federal
agencies to conduct an environmental review considering (1) the need
for the action, (2) a description of the action and alternatives, (3)
probable environmental impacts of the action and alternatives, and (4)
comments from the public and the agencies and persons consulted during
the consideration process. DOT Order 5610.1C, ``Procedures for
Considering Environmental Impacts,'' establishes departmental
procedures for evaluation of environmental impacts under NEPA and its
implementing regulations.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \46\ 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PHMSA has completed its NEPA analysis. Based on the environmental
assessment herein, PHMSA determined that an environmental impact
statement is not required for this final rule because the HMR
amendments introduced will not result in a significant environmental
impact requiring the preparation of an environmental impact statement.
PHMSA notes that it received no comments from the public on the NEPA
analysis within the NPRM.
1. Need for the Action
    PHMSA is amending the HMR in response to petitions for rulemaking
submitted by the regulated community to update, clarify, or provide
relief from miscellaneous regulatory requirements. PHMSA expects that
the HMR revisions in this final rule will provide cost benefits to the
regulated community without adversely affecting safety. PHMSA has
provided a brief summary of each of those HMR revisions, including
their impact on safety, in Section IV (Discussion of Amendments and
Applicable Comments) of this final rule.
2. Alternatives
    In this rulemaking, PHMSA considered the following alternatives:
Alternative 1: No Action
    The No Action Alternative would not proceed with a rulemaking on
any of the previously-accepted petitions for rulemaking submitted by
stakeholders. In the No Action Alternative, current HMR provisions
would remain in effect.
Alternative 2: Amend the HMR as Provided in This Final Rule
    The Final Rule Alternative would adopt the HMR amendments set forth
in this final rule.
3. Environmental Impacts
    Hazardous materials are substances that may pose a threat to public
safety or the environment during transportation because of their
physical, chemical, or nuclear properties. Under the HMR, hazardous
materials are transported by aircraft, vessel, rail, and highway. The
HMR embodies a risk management approach that is prevention-oriented and
focused on identifying a safety hazard and reducing the probability and
quantity of a hazardous material release. The potential for
environmental damage or contamination exists when packages of hazardous
materials are involved in accidents or en route incidents resulting
from cargo shifts, valve failures, package failures, loading,
unloading, collisions, handling problems, or deliberate sabotage. The
release of hazardous materials can cause the loss of ecological
resources (e.g., wildlife habitats) and the contamination of air,
aquatic environments, and soil. Contamination of soil can lead to the
contamination of ground water. Compliance with the HMR substantially
reduces the possibility of accidental release of hazardous materials,
thereby minimizing the potential a significant impact on public health
and the environment.
Alternative 1: No Action
    If PHMSA were to select the No Action Alternative, current
regulations would remain in place. However, efficiencies gained through
harmonization of HMR provisions with international (UN, ICAO, IMDG, and
EU) and consensus standards (AAR, APA, ASME, CGA, IME) for domestic
U.S. industry would not be realized, thereby foregoing cost and safety
benefits identified in Section IV. (Discussion of Amendments and
Applicable Comments) of this final rule. Consistency between HMR
requirements and international regulations and updated industry
standards can promote the safety of international hazardous materials
transportation through a better understanding of HMR requirements, an
increased level of industry compliance, and fewer disruptions in
transport of hazardous materials from their points of origin to their
points of destination. Each of those consequences promote protection of
human health and the environment; they also result in decreased
compliance costs for regulated entities.
    Nor, moreover, would the No Action Alternative provide meaningful
safety benefits in declining to adopt HMR revisions in this final rule
affording regulated entities greater flexibility in complying with HMR
requirements. As explained in greater detail in Section IV. (Discussion
of Amendments and Applicable Comments) PHMSA does not expect those
flexibility-affording HMR amendments in the final rule (including, but
not limited to, extension of regulatory exceptions to additional
commodities; relaxation of labelling requirements or cleaning
requirements) to adversely affect safety. Further, the regulatory
flexibilities foregone in the No Action Alternative do not exist in
isolation: Rather, they are each backstopped by the robust, proven
safety framework provided by other HMR requirements governing the
transportation of hazardous materials.
Alternative 2: Go Forward With the Proposed Amendments to the HMR in
This Final Rule
    PHMSA selected the Final Rule Alternative as the preferred
alternative. The Final Rule Alternative updates, clarifies, or provides
relief from a variety of HMR regulatory requirements. As explained at
greater length in Section IV (Discussion of Amendments and Applicable
Comments) of this final rule and the above discussion of the No Action
Alternative, PHMSA expects the Final Rule Alternative will realize cost
benefits from providing greater compliance flexibility for regulated
entities without adversely affecting safety. Further, PHMSA expects
cost and safety benefits from harmonizing HMR requirements with
international and domestic U.S. industry standards can also promote
safety, thereby minimizing the risk of environmental impacts from the
release of hazardous materials to the environment during shipment. For
example, the Final Rule Alternative's regulatory phase out of legacy-
specification PIH tank cars consistent with industry (AAR) consensus
standards and contractual practices (e.g., interchange rules)
permanently locks-in the safety benefits associated with a more robust
tank car design for transporting PIH material.
    The table below summarizes the anticipated environmental impacts
from each of the elements of the final rule alternative:

4. Agencies consulted
    PHMSA expects this final rule would affect hazardous materials
shippers and carriers by highway, rail, vessel, and aircraft, as well
as package manufacturers and testers. PHMSA sought therefore sought
comment from the following Federal Agencies and modal partners:

 Federal Aviation Administration
 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
 Federal Railroad Administration
 U.S. Coast Guard

    PHMSA did not receive any adverse comments on the amendments in
this final rule from these or any other Federal Agencies.
5. Conclusion
    PHMSA finds that no significant environmental impacts will result
from this final rule. The revisions in the final rule are intended to
update, clarify, or provide relief from certain existing HMR
requirements by eliminating unnecessary regulatory requirements;
aligning HMR requirements with international and industry standards;
and introducing editorial clarifications to make HMR requirements
easier to understand. PHMSA does not expect those HMR revisions to
adversely impact safety, much less cause a significant environmental
impact under NEPA.

    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 553(c), DOT solicits comments from the
public to better inform its rulemaking process. DOT posts these
comments, without edit, including any personal information the
commenter provides, to http://www.regulations.gov, as described in the

L. Executive Order 13609 and International Trade Analysis

    Under E.O. 13609, ``Promoting International Regulatory
Cooperation,'' \47\ agencies must consider whether the impacts
associated with significant variations between domestic and
international regulatory approaches are unnecessary or may impair the
ability of American business to export and compete internationally. In
meeting shared challenges involving health, safety, labor, security,
environmental, and other issues, international regulatory cooperation
can identify approaches that are at least as protective as those that
are or would be adopted in the absence of such cooperation.
International regulatory cooperation can also reduce, eliminate, or
prevent unnecessary differences in regulatory requirements.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \47\ 77 FR 26413 (May 4, 2012).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Similarly, the Trade Agreements Act of 1979,\48\ as amended by the
Uruguay Round Agreements Act,\49\ prohibits Federal agencies from
establishing any standards or engaging in related activities that
create unnecessary obstacles to the foreign commerce of the United
States. For purposes of these requirements, Federal agencies may
participate in the establishment of international standards, 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 statute also requires consideration of international
standards and, where appropriate, that they be the basis for U.S.
standards.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \48\ Public Law 96-39.
    \49\ Public Law 103-465.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    PHMSA participates in the establishment of international standards
to protect the safety of the American public. PHMSA has assessed the
effects of the rulemaking to ensure that it does not cause unnecessary
obstacles to foreign trade. As explained in greater detail in Section
IV. (Discussion of Amendments and Applicable Comments) of the preamble
to this final rule, several of the HMR amendments introduced in this
rulemaking better align U.S. requirements for transportation of
hazardous materials with international (e.g., UN, IMDG) standards.
Further, insofar as those and other HMR amendments in this final rule
are expected to reduce regulatory burdens, improve the clarity of HMR
provisions, and afford regulated entities greater flexibility in
satisfying HMR requirements, PHMSA expects the final rule to make a
positive contribution to U.S. domestic and international trade.
Accordingly, this final rule is consistent with E.O. 13609 and PHMSA's
obligations under the Trade Agreement Act, as amended.

M. Executive Order 13211

    E.O. 13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly
Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' \50\ requires Federal
agencies to prepare a Statement of Energy Effects for any ``significant
energy action.'' Under E.O. 13211, a ``significant energy action'' is
defined as any action by an agency

(normally published in the Federal Register) that promulgates, or is
expected to lead to the promulgation of, a final rule or regulation
(including a notice of inquiry, ANPRM, and NPRM) that: (1)(i) Is a
significant regulatory action under E.O. 12866 or any successor order,
and (ii) is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply,
distribution, or use of energy; or (2) is designated by the
Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs as a
significant energy action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \50\ 66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This final rule is not significant energy action as contemplated by
E.O. 13211. It is neither a ``significant regulatory action'' under
E.O. 12866, nor expected to have a significant adverse effect on the
supply, distribution or use of energy in the United States. The
Administrator of OIRA has not designated the final rule as a
significant energy action.

N. National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act

    The National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 \51\
directs Federal agencies to use voluntary consensus standards in their
regulatory activities unless doing so would be inconsistent with
applicable law or otherwise impractical. Voluntary consensus standards
are technical standards (e.g., specification of materials, test
methods, or performance requirements) that are developed or adopted by
voluntary consensus standards bodies. This final rule incorporates
updates to multiple voluntary consensus standards which are listed in
Sec.  171.7. See Section II, ``Incorporation by Reference Discussion
Under 1 CFR part 51'' for availability.

    (a) Conditions and requirements for cylinders and pressure
receptacles--(1) Applicability. Except as provided in this paragraph
(a), a filled cylinder (pressure receptacle) manufactured to other than
a DOT specification or a UN standard in accordance with part 178 of
this subchapter, a DOT exemption or special permit cylinder, a TC, CTC,
CRC, or BTC cylinder authorized under Sec.  171.12, or a cylinder used
as a fire extinguisher in conformance with Sec.  173.309(a) of this
subchapter, may not be transported to, from, or within the United
States.
    (2) Conditions. Cylinders (including UN pressure receptacles)
transported to, from, or within the United States must conform to the
applicable requirements of this subchapter. Unless otherwise excepted
in this subchapter, a cylinder must not be transported unless--
    (i) The cylinder is manufactured, inspected and tested in
accordance with a DOT specification or a UN standard prescribed in part
178 of this subchapter, or a TC, CTC, CRC, or BTC specification set out
in the Transport Canada TDG Regulations (IBR, see Sec.  171.7), except
that cylinders not conforming to these requirements must meet the
requirements in paragraph (a)(3), (4), or (5) of this section;
    (ii) The cylinder is equipped with a pressure relief device in
accordance with Sec.  173.301(f) of this subchapter and conforms to the
applicable requirements in part 173 of this subchapter for the
hazardous material involved;
    (iii) The openings on an aluminum cylinder in oxygen service
conform to the requirements of this paragraph, except when the cylinder
is used for aircraft parts or used aboard an aircraft in accordance
with the applicable airworthiness requirements and operating
regulations. An aluminum DOT specification cylinder must have an
opening configured with straight (parallel) threads. A UN pressure
receptacle may have straight (parallel) or tapered threads provided the
UN pressure receptacle is marked with the thread type, e.g. ``17E, 25E,
18P, or 25P'' and fitted with the properly marked valve; and
    (iv) A UN pressure receptacle is marked with ``USA'' as a country
of approval in conformance with Sec. Sec.  178.69 and 178.70 of this
subchapter, or ``CAN'' for Canada.
    (3) Pi-marked pressure receptacles. Pressure receptacles that are
marked with a pi mark in accordance with the European Directive 2010/
35/EU (IBR, see Sec.  171.7) on transportable pressure equipment (TPED)
and that comply with the requirements of Packing Instruction P200 or
P208 and 6.2 of ECE/TRANS/257 (Vol. I), the Agreement Concerning the
International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road (ADR) (IBR, see Sec.
171.7) concerning pressure relief device use, test period, filling
ratios, test pressure, maximum working pressure, and material
compatibility for the lading contained or gas being filled, are
authorized as follows:
    (i) Filled pressure receptacles imported for intermediate storage,
transport to point of use, discharge, and export without further
filling; and
    (ii) Pressure receptacles imported or domestically sourced for the
purpose of filling, intermediate storage, and export.
    (iii) The bill of lading or other shipping paper must identify the
cylinder and include the following certification: ``This cylinder
(These cylinders) conform(s) to the requirements for pi-marked
cylinders found in 171.23(a)(3).''
    (4) Importation of cylinders for discharge within a single port
area. Except as provided in Sec.  171.23(a)(3), a cylinder manufactured
to other than a DOT specification or UN standard in accordance with
part 178 of this subchapter, or a TC, CTC, BTC, or CRC specification
cylinder set out in the Transport Canada TDG Regulations (IBR, see
Sec.  171.7), and certified as being in conformance with the
transportation regulations of another country may be authorized, upon
written request to and approval by the Associate Administrator, for
transportation within a single port area, provided--
    (i) The cylinder is transported in a closed freight container;
    (ii) The cylinder is certified by the importer to provide a level
of safety at least equivalent to that required by the regulations in
this subchapter for a comparable DOT, TC, CTC, BTC, or CRC
specification or UN cylinder; and
    (iii) The cylinder is not refilled for export unless in compliance
with paragraph (a)(5) of this section.
    (5) Filling of cylinders for export or for use on board a vessel. A
cylinder not manufactured, inspected, tested and marked in accordance
with part 178 of this subchapter, or a cylinder manufactured to other
than a UN standard, DOT specification, exemption or special permit, or
other than a TC, CTC, BTC, or CRC specification, may be filled with a
gas in the United States and offered for transportation and transported
for export or alternatively, for use on board a vessel, if the
following conditions are met:
    (i) The cylinder has been requalified and marked with the month and
year of requalification in accordance with subpart C of part 180 of
this subchapter, or has been requalified as authorized by the Associate
Administrator;
    (ii) In addition to other requirements of this subchapter, the
maximum filling density, service pressure, and pressure relief device
for each cylinder conform to the requirements of this part for the gas
involved; and
    (iii) The bill of lading or other shipping paper identifies the
cylinder and includes the following certification: ``This cylinder has
(These cylinders have) been qualified, as required, and filled in
accordance with the DOT requirements for export.''
    (6) Cylinders not equipped with pressure relief devices. A DOT
specification or a UN cylinder manufactured, inspected, tested and
marked in accordance with part 178 of this subchapter and otherwise
conforms to the requirements of part 173 of this subchapter for the gas
involved, except that the cylinder is not equipped with a pressure
relief device may be filled with a gas and offered for transportation
and transported for export if the following conditions are met:
    (i) Each DOT specification cylinder or UN pressure receptacle must
be plainly and durably marked ``For Export Only'';
