OSTI ID:6472465

The U.S. Materials Transportation Bureau (MTB) published a notice of proposed rulemaking on 6/7/79 proposing the adoption of a numerical identification system for hazardous materials transported in commerce. The purpose of the proposed regulations is to improve the capability of emergency response personnel (fire, police, et al.) to quickly identify hazardous materials and to assure the accurate transmission of information to and from the scenes of accidents involving hazardous materials. The MTB proposes, in this additional proposal, to list each organic peroxide (with identification number) that may be shipped in commerce in order that the different kinds of risks presented by these materials may be recognized during implementation of emergency response procedures. Comments on this additional proposal, and on the proposal of 6/7/79, must be received by the MTB on or before 10/18/79.
