Dear Mr. Maberry:
This is in response to your letter dated March 21, 2000, regarding the removal of placards required under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether you may use a heat gun to remove placards from a transport vehicle.
The answer is yes. The use of a heat gun (i.e., a device that does not use a flame or produce sparks) may be used to remove placards from a transport vehicle.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A, Gale
