The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) proposes to amend the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to maintain consistency with international regulations and standards by incorporating various amendments, including changes to proper shipping names, hazard classes, packing groups, special provisions, packaging authorizations, air transport quantity limitations, and vessel stowage requirements. These revisions are necessary to harmonize the HMR with recent changes made to the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code, the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air, and the United Nations Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods--Model Regulations. Additionally, PHMSA proposes several amendments to the HMR that result from coordination with Canada under the U.S.-Canada Regulatory Cooperation Council.

Notificación: G/TBT/N/USA/1188 Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards; Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations; Parts and Accessories Necessary for Safe Operation; Speed Limiting Devices (32 pages, in English). NHTSA and FMCSA are proposing regulations that would require vehicles with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 11,793.4 kilograms (26,000 pounds) to be equipped with a speed limiting device initially set to a speed no greater than a speed to be specified in a final rule and would require motor carriers operating such vehicles in interstate commerce to maintain functional speed limiting devices set to a speed no greater than a speed to be specified in the final rule for the service life of the vehicle. Specifically, NHTSA is proposing to establish a new Federal motor vehicle safety standard (FMVSS) requiring that each new multipurpose passenger vehicle, truck, bus and school bus with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of more than 11,793.4 kilograms (26,000 pounds) be equipped with a speed limiting device. The proposed FMVSS would also require each vehicle, as manufactured and sold, to have its device set to a speed not greater than a specified speed and to be equipped with means of reading the vehicle’s current speed setting and the two previous speed settings (including the time and date the settings were changed) through its On-Board Diagnostic connection. FMCSA is proposing a complementary Federal motor carrier safety regulation (FMCSR) requiring each commercial motor vehicle (CMV) with a GVWR of more than 11,793.4 kilograms (26,000 pounds) to be equipped with a speed limiting device meeting the requirements of the proposed FMVSS applicable to the vehicle at the time of manufacture, including the requirement that the device be set to a speed not greater than a specified speed. Motor carriers operating such vehicles in interstate commerce would be required to maintain the speed limiting devices for the service life of the vehicle. Based on the agencies’ review of the available data, limiting the speed of these heavy vehicles would reduce the severity of crashes involving these vehicles and reduce the resulting fatalities and injuries. We expect that, as a result of this joint rulemaking, virtually all of these vehicles would be limited to that speed.

TAILANDIA Notificación: G/TBT/N/THA/481 Thai Industrial Standard for Pneumatic Tyres for Motor Vehicles and Their Trailers (TIS 2718-2558) (49 pages, in English; 1 page, in Thai). The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to enforce TIS 2718-2558 (2015) Pneumatic Tyres for Motor Vehicles and Their Trailers as a mandatory standard. This standard covers only new pneumatic tyres designed primarily for vehicles of categories M1, N1, O1 and O2. However, it does not apply to tyres designed for the equipment for vintage cars and competitions. Objeto y razón de ser: Performance and safety. Notificación: G/TBT/N/THA/482 Thai Industrial Standard for Pneumatic Tyres for Commercial Vehicles and Their Trailers (TIS 2719‑2558(2015)) (51 pages, in English; 1 page, in Thai). The Thai Industrial Standards Institute (TISI) has proposed to enforce TIS 2719-2558 (2015) Pneumatic Tyres for Commercial Vehicles and Their Trailers as a mandatory standard. This standard covers only new pneumatic tyres designed primarily for vehicles of categories M2, M3, N, O3 and O4. However, it does not apply to tyre types identified by speed category symbols corresponding to speeds below 80 km/h. Objeto y razón de ser: Performance and safety.
