Dear Ms. McKenzie:
This is in response to your February 25, 2004 letter regarding the marking requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether cylinders marked with an expired exemption number are allowed to be tested, filled and transported.
The answer is yes. The prohibited marking requirements, in 49 CFR 172.303, do not require removal or obliteration of the exemption number from the packaging, even when the packaging is not being used under the terms of the exemption. However, in order to minimize confusion or frustration of the shipment, you may wish to cover or obliterate the exemption number marking when the packaging is not being used under the terms of the exemption.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
