Dear Ms. Finkenkeller:
This responds to your February 22, 2010 email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) regarding quantity limitations and cargo location for carriage by aircraft under § 175.75 and United States (U.S.) Variation 13 in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions. Specifically, you request clarification on the 75 kg net weight limitation of Division 2.2 materials stowed in an inaccessible manner as it applies to articles.
For each package containing a hazardous material acceptable for carriage aboard passenger-carrying aircraft, no more than 25 kg (55 pounds) net weight of hazardous material may be loaded in an inaccessible manner. In addition to the 25 kg limitation above, an additional 75 kg (165 pounds) net weight of Division 2.2 (non-flammable compressed gas) may be loaded in the same compartment. In the case of articles containing a Division 2.2 material, the 75 kg net weight limit applies to the amount of hazardous material contained in the article.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
Chief, Standards Development
