The January 19, 2011 final rule amended the HMR by phasing out the ORM-D system beginning January 1, 2013 for material transported by aircraft and, beginning January 1, 2014, for material transported by all other modes of transportation (e.g. motor vehicle).
After a number of appeals, D.O.T. is extending authorization of the ORM-D classification and the use of packagings marked "Consumer commodity, ORM-D" until December 31, 2020 for domestic highway, rail and vessel transportation.
