longer necessary. <strong>PHMSA</strong> concurs with the IMO on this issue and is deleting § 176.130<br />

and reserving it for future use. In general, a magazine is equivalent to a closed cargo<br />

transport unit with a wooden floor. Properly packaged and transported packages in a<br />

closed cargo transport unit will adequately address safety concerns presented by<br />

commodities previously required to be transported in magazine stowage type A.<br />

Section 176.133<br />

Section 176.133 prescribes requirements for magazine stowage type C. The IMO<br />

has determined that all explosive shipments must be stored at a distance at least equal to<br />

one eighth <strong>of</strong> the beam <strong>of</strong> the vessel or 2.4 m (8 feet), whichever is less, thus making the<br />

provisions for magazine stowage type C unnecessary. <strong>PHMSA</strong> concurs with the IMO on<br />

this issue and is deleting § 176.133 and reserving it for future use.<br />

Section 176.134<br />

Section 176.134 prescribes requirements for vehicles carrying Class 1 materials<br />

requiring magazine stowage. The removal <strong>of</strong> magazine stowage definitions and provisions<br />

make this section unnecessary. Therefore, <strong>PHMSA</strong> is deleting this section and reserving it<br />

for future use.<br />

Section 176.136<br />

Section 176.136 prescribes requirements for special stowage <strong>of</strong> Class 1 materials.<br />

Changes to vessel stowage location codes in § 172.101(k) and the assignment <strong>of</strong> vessel<br />

stowage codes requiring on deck stowage for entries previously authorized as special<br />

stowage make this section unnecessary. Therefore, <strong>PHMSA</strong> is deleting this section and<br />

reserving it for future use.<br />

Section 176.138<br />
