§ 146.22-30

Authorization to load or discharge ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate fertilizers.

(a) Ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate fertilizers and fertilizer mixtures packaged in paper bags or other combustible containers, except those types exempt by this section, in amounts exceeding the 1,000 pound test sample required by paragraph (e) of this section shall not be laden on or discharged from any vessel at any point or place in the United States, its territories or possessions not including the Panama Canal Zone, until a permit authorizing such loading or discharging has been obtained by the owner, agent, charterer, master or person in charge of the vessel from the Coast Guard District Commander or other officer designated by the Commandant of the United States Coast Guard for such purpose. The Coast Guard officer issuing the permit shall satisfy himself that no local regulations or rules will be violated by the issuance of such permit. This permit requirement shall not apply to ammonium nitrate, ammonium nitrate fertilizers and fertilizer mixtures loaded in railroad or highway vehicles offered for transportation on board vessels under the provisions of §§ 146.08-1 thru 146.08-55.

(b) (1) Ammonium nitrate, organic coated, in paper bags shall be loaded or discharged at facilities so remotely situated from populous areas and/or high value or high hazard industrial facilities, that in the event of fire or explosion, loss of lives and property may be minimized.

(i) This facility shall conform with port security and local regulations and shall provide an abundance of water for fire fighting.

(ii) This facility shall be so located as to permit unrestricted passage to open water. The vessel shall be moored bow to seaward, and shall be maintained in a mobile status either by presence of tugs or readiness of engines. The vessel shall provide at the bow and stern a wire towing hawser having an eye splice and lowered to the water's edge.

(iii) The detailed requirements of § 146.22-100 pertaining to this product,

and other applicable sections of this part shall be strictly adhered to.

organic

(2) Ammonium nitrate, coated, packaged in substantial metal barrels or drums, may be handled in accordance with paragraph (c) of this section. A permit is required for this transaction.

(c) (1) Ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate products (prills, crystals, grains or flakes) containing 90 percent or more ammonium nitrate by weight with no organic coating, including fertilizer grade, dynamite grade, nitrous oxide grade and technical grade, and ammonium nitrate phosphate (60 percent or more ammonium nitrate by weight) with no organic coating, packaged in multi-wall paper bags or other combustible containers, shall be loaded or discharged at facilities removed from congested areas and/or those having high value or high hazard industrial facilities. A permit is required for this transaction.

(i) This facility shall conform with port security and local regulations and shall provide an abundance of water for fire fighting.

(ii) This facility shall be so located as to permit unrestricted passage to open water. The vessel shall be moored bow to seaward, and shall be maintained in a mobile status either by presence of tugs or readiness of engines. The vessel shall provide at the bow and stern a wire towing hawser having an eye splice and lowered to the water's edge.

(iii) The detailed requirements of § 146.22-100 pertaining to these products and other applicable sections of this part shall be strictly adhered to.

(2) Ammonium nitrate and ammonium nitrate products (prills, crystals, grains or flakes) containing 90 percent or more ammonium nitrate by weight with no organic coating, including fertilizer grade, dynamite grade, nitrous oxide grade and technical grade, and ammonium nitrate phosphate (60 percent or more ammonium nitrate by weight) with no organic coating, packaged in ICC or nonspecification metal barrels or drums may be loaded or dis

charged at any waterfront facility which conforms to port security and local regulations. No permit is required for this transaction. The ICC or nonspecification metal barrels or drums may contain the ammonium nitrate products packaged in ICC approved plastic bags or the metal barrels or drums may contain an ICC approved plastic liner.

(d) (1) Ammonium nitrate-carbonate mixtures (60 percent or less ammonium nitrate by weight) may be loaded or discharged at any waterfront facility which conforms to port security and local regulations and provides an abundance of water for fire fighting. No permit is required for this transaction. The detailed requirements of § 146.22-100 pertaining to these products, and applicable sections of this part shall be strictly adhered to.

(2) Ammonium nitrate mixed fertilizers (over 13 percent but less than 60 percent ammonium nitrate by weight) including ammonium nitrate phosphate and ammonium nitrate phosphate fertilizers containing less that 60 percent ammonium nitrate by weight with no organic fillers may be loaded or discharged at any waterfront facility which conforms to port security and local regulations and provides an abundance of water for fire fighting. No permit is required for this transaction. The detailed requirements of § 146.22-100 pertaining to these products, and applicable sections of this part shall be strictly adhered to.

(3) Ammonium nitrate fertilizer materials containing 60 percent or more by weight of ammonium nitrate and those products not otherwise described in this section shall be tested as prescribed in paragraph (e).

(e) A person desiring to import or export ammonium nitrate materials and formulations not conforming to any of the classes listed in this section, or described in § 146.22-100, shall make application for a permit to the U.S. Coast Guard. A sample of 1,000 lbs. of the material in bags as prepared for shipment shall be furnished at least 60 days prior to intended date of shipment. Import shipments of this sample shall be

made as required for "Nitrates, N.O.S." This sample shall be tested by a competent laboratory designated by the Coast Guard to determine whether the characteristics of the material require its classification as a dangerous article for purposes of transportation. After such tests, conditions of loading, discharging and transportation shall be prescribed by the Commandant of the Coast Guard. Costs of such tests shall be borne by the shipper.

(f) Ammonium nitrate formulations shipped in multiwall paper bags shall be stowed in conformity with the following general plan:

(1) Minimum dunnage and sweatboards shall be used in ships' holds to prevent friction or abrasion of bags and to allow for circulation of air and access of water in the event of fire.

(2) The bags may be stowed from side to side, out to sweatboards.

(3) A space of 18 inches shall be provided between transverse bulkheads and the bagged cargo.

(4) An 18-inch athwartship trench shall be provided along the center line of the compartment, continuous from bottom to top.

(5) An 18-inch amidship trench shall be provided running fore and aft from bulkhead to bulkhead.

(6) Bags shall not be stowed closer than 18 inches from the overhead deck beams.

(7) The bags shall be stowed so as to provide vent flues 14 inches square at each corner of the hatch or in way of ventilators, continuous from top to bottom.

(8) Trenching shall be accomplished by alternating the direction of the bags in each tier (bulkheading). The master or person in charge of loading shall determine the amount of bracing and chocking necessary to prevent shifting of the bagged cargo adjacent to trench

areas.

Aircraft rocket engines (com Yellow... mercial) are standby aircraft propulsion engines which are for civil aircraft installation only, comprising of a metal case containing a solid composite fuel other than one classified as an explosive and containing nonexplosive materials or elements. Rocket engine igniters are devices used to ignite the chemical mixture of rocket engines. These units are for aircraft use only.

If approved by ICC, aircraft rocket engine igniters may be packed in the same outside shipping containers as the rocket engines provided the igniters are separately packaged in sealed metal containers in strong inside containers.
