Dear Mr. Kehril:

This responds to your December 2, 2008, letter requesting clarification on the § 175.75 quantity limitations in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) and United States (U.S.) Variation 13 in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Technical Instructions regarding small arms cartridges shipped as Consumer Commodity, ORM-D materials. Specifically, you ask for verification that these ORM-D materials are not subject to the quantity limitations of § 175.75 in the HMR or U.S. Variation 13 in the ICAO Technical Instructions.

The answer is yes. Small arms cartridges shipped as ORM-D materials, as defined in

§ 173.144, are not subject to the quantity limitations in § 175.75 in the HMR or U.S. Variation 13 in the ICAO Technical Instructions.

I hope this answers your inquiry.

Sincerely,

Charles E. Betts
