PHMSA-2005-22208 (HM-240); Hazardous Materials: Incorporation of Statutorily Mandate Revisions to the Hazardous Materials Regulations; Correction; Effective Date 8/8/2006.

SUMMARY: On December 9, 2005, PHMSA published a final rule to revise terminology, definitions, and requirements for consistency with the Hazardous Materials Safety and Security Reauthorization Act of 2005. These amendments included revising the definitions of ``hazmat employee'' and ``hazmat employer''; modifying shipping paper retention requirements; providing a security plan exception for farmers; and replacing the term ``Exemption'' with ``Special permit.'' This final rule corrects an error in the final rule. In addition, we are clarifying the amendments applicable to shipping paper retention requirements, the definition of ``hazmat employer,'' and the transition from ``Exemption'' to ``Special permit.''
