Dear Mr. Herbage:
This is in response to your September 20, 2005 letter requesting clarification of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if cartridges, small arms manufactured and classed by your company under the provisions
of § 173.56(h), may be classed as Cartridges, small arms, 1.4S, UN 0012 for domestic and international transportation.
The answer is yes. Cartridges, small arms meeting all the criteria of § 173.56(h) may be assigned a classification code of 1.4S by the manufacturer, for both domestic and
international transportation without obtaining an approval from the Office of Hazardous Materials Special Permits and Approvals. You should know however that a country may choose not accept a classification assigned by another country or the manufacturer. In
such cases, a country may require further examination and testing of Class 1 materials such as Cartridges, small arms, or a written concurrence from the Competent Authority. The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration will provide such
concurrence upon request of the shipper, if needed.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Regulations Development
