Users of the Regulations should be aware that a Member State may require in its national regulations that an additional approval be given by its competent authority for any special form radioactive material, Type B(U) and Type C package which is to be used for domestic transport on its territory, even if the design has already been approved in another country. 

The calculation of border prices for traded goods usually includes afi adjustment to take account of domestic transportation to a project or to the project s primary market. For exports, the f.o.b. price is the total cost expended to produce, transport to the border, and prepare for transportation outside the country of origin. For imports, the c.i.f. price is the landed cost of an import including insurance but net of any additional domestic tariffs or other taxes and fees. It should also be adjusted for internal transport costs or savings from the port of entry to the market if these costs are significantly different from domestic factory-to-market costs, and it may also be adjusted for additional inventory cost required to cover delays or lumpiness in supply compared to domestic shipments ... 

When the view of the interministerial commission for transporting hazardous materials (CITMD) was adopted in December 1998, it was decided to adopt the same mles for transporting hazardous materials in France, whether national or international (J.O., 1999). These new conditions apply to road, rail, and domestic transport. French regulations, therefore, comply with international road (ADR), rail (RID), and waterway (ADNR) regulations. 

Rules for domestic transport are subject to regulations concerning the transport of hazardous materials on the Rhine, the ADNR Law, which was adopted by the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine (CNNR) on December 1, 1993.

The nameplate capacity of worldwide methanol plants is given by country in Table 2 (27). A significant portion of this capacity is based on natural gas feedstock. Percent utilization is expected to remain in the low 90s through the mid-1990s. A principal portion of this added capacity is expected to continue to come from offshore sources where natural gas, often associated with cmde oil production, is valued inexpensively. This has resulted in the emergence of a substantial international trade in methanol. In these cases, the cost of transportation is a relatively larger portion of the total cost of production than it is for domestic plants. 

A DOT regulation covers both domestic and international shipping (9). For transportation safety, the DOT has information for first responders to incidents involving elemental phosphoms (10). In addition, the Chemtrec phone number 1-800-424-9300 accesses DOT emergency information and assistance in the United States. Also, the phosphoms producers in the United States have estabUshed a Phosphoms Emergency Response Team (PERT) to assist in handling P emergencies. 

The U.S. domestic shipping name of isopropyl alcohol is UN No. 1219 Isopropanol. Anhydrous as well as water solutions to 91 vol % alcohol are considered flammable Hquid materials by the DOT. Both have flash poiats below 37.8°C by the Tag closed-cup method. Acceptable modes of transportation include air, rail, road, and water (124). For international air and water shipments, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) class is 3.2, the packaging group is II, and the primary hazard label required is "Flammable Liquid."... 

Marine transportation is done by ship or barge in permanent containers on board or by ISO containers. Propylene oxide can be shipped by air freight, but specific regulations for domestic and international transport must be foHowed. No shipment of propylene oxide can be made on passenger ships or airlines (3,233). 

The LD q for sodium bromide taken orally by rats is 3.5 g/kg body weight, and the TD q orally in rats is 720 mg/kg (8). RTECS Hsts data on reproductive effects in male and female rats. Sodium bromide is Hsted in the TSCA Inventory, the Canadian Domestic Substances Hst (DSL), the European Inventory of Existing Commercial Chemical Substances (EINECS), the Japanese Existing and New Chemical Substances (ENCS), and the Korean Existing Chemicals Hst (ECL). It is not regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation. 

Waterborne Transport. Despite natural limitations, the transportation of chemicals by water has enjoyed substantial growth, especially siace the ead of World War 11. Assisted by governmental developmeat of the inland waterways system, including locks and other navigational aids, water carriers transport large quantities of bulk chemicals in barges between inland ports or between such ports and coastal ports. In addition, bulk chemicals ate transported by self-propelled tank vessels between U.S. coastal points, and between U.S. ports and overseas destinations. In 1989, 56.1 million metric tons (61.9 million short tons) of chemicals were transported in the U.S. domestic waterborne commerce (16).

Calcium carbide is classed as a ha2ardous chemical under Department of Transportation regulations. Domestic shipments are mainly in steel tote bins varying in capacity from 2.5—4.5 t. A small amount continues to be shipped in industrial wide mouth steel dmms of 270 kg capacity. Containers must be marked "Flammable soHd, dangerous when wet" and have the United Nations designation UN 1402. 

ElectrolyticaHy generated hypochlorite may be used for the oxidative destmction of cyanides (qv) or the sterilization of domestic wastes. Several on-site systems for swimming pool sterilization and municipal waste treatment works have been developed. One of these systems is described in Reference 124. On-site production and immediate use of chlorine is considered safer than the transportation of chlorine.
