Dear Ms. Aeschilman:
This is in response to your letter dated September 19th, 2004 regarding shipping paper requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if the total quantity listed on a shipping paper must be modified to reflect intermediate drop-offs of medical oxygen cylinders.
As specified in § 172.202(a)(5), the total quantity of hazardous materials covered by a description must be indicated on a shipping paper, and must include an indication of the applicable unit of measurement. Cylinders are excepted from this requirement, provided some indication of total quantity is shown (e.g., “10 cylinders”). A driver is not required to update a shipping paper to reflect a partial delivery.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
