Notice of Enforcement Discretion Regarding Packaging Tape
The U.S. Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) is providing notice that it will exercise regulatory enforcement discretion for any person who affixes tape of a different type than what was originally tested for a packaging test report to a package provided the packaging meets all requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) except that the tape may be different.
