Special Provision 118
Special provision 118 states that materials listing this special provision may not be
transported under the provisions of Division 4.1 unless specifically authorized by the
Associate Administrator. In the UN Model Regulations the corresponding special
provision, SP 272, contained a note that the special provision referred to UN0143. This
special provision in the UN Model Regulations has been revised to indicate that the special
provision applies to both UN0143 and UN0150, as appropriate. To maintain consistency
with the UN Model Regulations, PHMSA is adopting this editorial note and revising
special provision 118 by adding the language “(see UN0143 or UN0150 as appropriate)”
following the existing text.
Special Provision 134
Special provision 134 is revised to note that this provision also applies to
equipment powered by wet batteries or sodium batteries that are transported with these
batteries installed.
Special Provision 155
Special provision 155 states that Fish meal or fish scrap may not be transported if
the temperature at the time of loading either exceeds 35 °C (95 °F), or exceeds 5 °C (9 °F)
above the ambient temperature, whichever is higher.
PHMSA is revising special provision 155 by adding a reference to the new proper
shipping name “krill meal.” Krill meal possesses similar self-heating hazard
characteristics to fish meal and scrap; therefore, application of this special provision is
appropriate. This addition clarifies that special provision 155 applies to fish meal and fish
scrap as well as krill meal.
