Section 173.165<br />

Section 173.165 prescribes the transport and packaging requirements for polyester<br />

resin kits. <strong>PHMSA</strong> is revising § 173.165 to better align the packaging and other<br />

requirements for UN3269, Polyester resin kits with the various international modal<br />

standards. These amendments correct inconsistencies adopted in a final rule published in<br />

the Federal Register on January 19, 2011 (76 FR 3308; HM-215K).<br />

Section 173.175<br />

Section 173.175 prescribes the transport and packaging requirements for<br />

permeation devices. Currently, permeation devices containing hazardous materials that are<br />

used for calibrating air quality monitoring devices are not subject to the HMR provided<br />

they meet specific requirements that include packaging, quantity limitations, testing, and<br />

transport controls.<br />

<strong>PHMSA</strong> is adding a new paragraph (g) stating that “for transport by aircraft, must<br />

be transported as cargo and may not be carried onboard an aircraft by passengers or<br />

crewmembers in carry-on baggage, checked baggage, or on their person unless specifically<br />

excepted by § 175.10.” This clarification aligns the HMR with changes adopted in the<br />

ICAO Technical Instructions regarding the air transport <strong>of</strong> permeation devices that are<br />

otherwise excepted from the HMR.<br />

Section 173.176<br />

Electric double layer capacitors are devices that store but do not produce electrical<br />

energy. They contribute to increased fuel efficiency in many alternative energy solutions<br />
