Dear Ms. Scheurman:
This is in response to your letter requesting clarification of the placarding requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you asked if a cargo tank that previously transported a Class 9 material in domestic commerce and was placarded “Class 9" must remain placarded when it is empty, but has not been cleaned.
The answer is no. The requirements in § 172.514(b) that a bulk packaging must remain placarded when it is emptied apply only to required placarding. As provided in § 172.504(f)(9), placards are not required on a bulk packaging containing a Class 9 material in domestic transportation. However, a bulk packaging containing a Class 9 material must be marked on each side and each end with the appropriate identification number.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulation Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
172.504(f)(9)
