I believe Section XII is to be reserved for hauling cargo.

DOT is currently working to publish a rulemaking that will formally adopt Section XII and the NBIC into the federal regulations. See link below:

http://www.regulations.gov/fdmspublic/component/main?main=DocketDetail&d=PHMSA-2005-21351

Currently, ASME Code Stamped vessels (tanks) in transport service are stamped as Section VIII (U-stamped) vessels. Once Section XII is adopted, by the DOT (including the Jurisdictions) new vessels will bear a “T” Stamp, and repairs or alterations must be performed by a holder of a “TR” Certificate of Authorization.

All of this is still pending.
