| Abstract: | 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). |
