Dear Mr. Briner:
This is in response to your letter dated April 6, 2000, regarding the definition of a hazardous substance under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether a package containing 400 pounds of a D001 waste known to be 100 percent ethanol would meet the definition of a hazardous substance under §171.8.
The answer is yes. The appropriate RQ for a hazardous waste (e.g., D001) made up entirely of a material not specifically listed under Appendix A to §172.101 is that which is assigned to the waste (e.g., D001). Therefore, waste ethanol is subject to the RQ for a D001 waste (100 pounds (454 kg)).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
