open flames.” Deleted stowage provision 48 previously read “Stow “away from” sources
of heat”. Deleted stowage provision 50 previously read “Stow “away from” sources of
heat where temperatures in excess of 55°C (131°F) for a period of 24 hours or more will be
encountered.”
The current stowage provision table in paragraph (b) contains three listings
requiring shipments to be either shaded or stowed away from sources of heat. The addition
of a standard definition for “protected from sources of heat” to the list of definitions in
§ 176.2 has rendered stowage provisions 19, 48, and 50 redundant and all HMT listings
previously assigned stowage provisions 19 or 48 have been assigned the revised stowage
provision 25. Furthermore, no listings in the current HMR are assigned stowage provision
50; therefore, we are deleting it and all references to it. The change to stowage provision
128 will account for a citation change in the newest edition of the IMDG Code.
In this final rule, PHMSA is revising explosive stowage provision 26E and deleting
explosive stowage provisions 7E, 8E, and 20E from the table in paragraph (c)(2). Deleted
explosive stowage provision 7E previously read “Stowage category “04” for projectiles or
cartridges for guns, cannons or mortars; Stowage category “08” for other types.” Deleted
explosive stowage provision 8E previously read “When under deck, special stowage is
required.” Deleted explosive stowage provision 20E previously read “Stowage category
“03” for projectiles or cartridges for guns, cannons or mortars; Stowage category “07” for
other types; magazines must be of steel construction that prevents leakage.” Changes to
explosive stowage provisions 7E, 8E, and 20E are necessary to account for revisions to the
stowage category definitions proposed in § 172.101(k). Additionally, as a result of the
removal of stowage provisions 10 and 13 from
