Dear Mr. Canter:
This responds to your July 15, 2010 letter requesting clarification on the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if you may ship a new windshield washer fluid containing methanol between 25% to 30% by volume, with propylene glycol and/or glycerine at a treat rate between 1% and 5%, as a consumer commodity, ORM-D with six gallons per inner packaging instead of the 1.3 gallons authorized in § 173.150.
For flammable liquids in Packing Group III and combustible liquids meeting the requirements of a limited quantity and a consumer commodity, § 173.150 authorizes inner packagings not over 5.0 L (1.3 gallons) capacity each, packed in a strong outer packaging. You may not exceed the quantity limits authorized in the HMR. However, to ship larger quantities, you may apply for a special permit under subpart B of part107 of the HMR. (See § 107.105)
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, please contact this office.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
