Infectious substances (etiologic agents); revisions to transitional provisions--Department of Transportation. Final rule; partial response to petition for reconsideration.
This amendment extends the transition provisions in 49 CFR 171.14 concerning the regulations for the transportation of infectious substances (etiologic agents), which were published under Docket No. HM-142A (56 FR 197, January 3, 1991, and which was incorporated into Docket HM-181 in a final rule published September 18, 1991 (56 FR 47158). The September 18, 1991, final rule extended the effective date for certain quantities of infectious substances, partially in response to a petition for reconsideration. This further revision to the transition provisions in section 171.14 is necessary because RSPA anticipates issuing a further response to the petition for reconsideration in a forthcoming corrections document. This amendment also makes a minor technical correction to section 171.14(b)(4)(ii).
