Ref. No. 09-0029

Dear Mr. Maxwell:

This responds to your January 22, 2009 letter requesting clarification regarding the use and applicability of the T Codes (Special Provisions) under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the guidance offered in our April 6, 2005 letter (Ref. No. 05-0072) regarding the replacement of Special Provision T4 with T8 in Column (7) of the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT) for the entry "Gasoline, UN1203" is still correct.

The answer is yes. Special Provision T4 was inadvertently replaced by Special Provision T8 in a September 3, 2003 rulemaking published under Docket HM-213 (68 FR 52363, 52369). Special Provision T4 must be used when determining portable tank requirements for "Gasoline, UN1203." As indicated by the representative from our Hazardous Materials Information Center, the error has been noted and will be corrected in a future rulemaking.

I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Betts

Chief, Standards Development
