FAA Allows Transition Period on Lithium Batteries

FAA announced today (12/21/2012) that a one month transition period will be allowed for use of the 2011-2012 ICAO Technical Instructions as they relate to lithium batteries.  This does not include "contained in" or "packed with" equipment.

For the IATA user, this means you may use the 2012 IATA DGR until the end of January 2013
