Dear Ms. Smith:
This is in response to your March 29, 2007 letter regarding placarding requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask where on a transport vehicle a subsidiary hazard placard must be placed in relation to the primary hazard class placard with which it is associated.
The HMR do not specify where the subsidiary hazard class placard must be placed in relation to the primary hazard class placard (i.e., above, below, to the left or right). Subsidiary hazard placards, when required under § 172.505, must be placed on each side and each end of the transport vehicle, freight container, portable tank, unit load device, or rail car. In addition, the requirements for visibility and display of placards in § 172.516 apply to placards representing both primary hazards and subsidiary hazards.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
