| 02-31990 | Hazardous Materials: Proposed Domestic Mail Manual Revisions for Division 6.2 Infectious Substances and Other Related Changes | Proposed Rule | The Postal Service is proposing to revise the mailing standards in Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) C023 related to the requirements and packaging standards for mailable types of Division 6.2 infectious substances. These DMM revisions would adopt some of the regulatory and packaging changes for infectious substances that the U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) made to Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) in the Federal Register final rule published on August 14, 2002 (67 FR 53118) and the subsequent change published on August 27, 2002 (67 FR 54967). If the revisions proposed by the Postal Service were adopted, they would provide a greater level of safety for handling and transporting mailable infectious substances in the mailstream. The proposed changes would also facilitate domestic and international air transportation by aligning the changes with the current international standards for the transport of hazardous materials via air. Other minor changes and clarifications are proposed to the hazardous materials mailing standards in DMM C021, C023, C024, and F010 to improve clarity and reduce misunderstanding; to ensure the packaging integrity of mailable hazardous materials during Postal Service handling; and to provide a greater level of safety for Postal Service employees and the public. | 2002-12-19 | 2002 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2002/12/19/02-31990/hazardous-materials-proposed-domestic-mail-manual-revisions-for-division-62-infectious-substances | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2002-12-19/pdf/02-31990.pdf | Postal Service | 410 | The Postal Service is proposing to revise the mailing standards in Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) C023 related to the requirements and packaging standards for mailable types of Division 6.2 infectious substances.
