Dear Dr. Fox:
This is in response to your May 24, 2004 letter and subsequent telephone conversation with a member of my staff concerning the classification of a material in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180)
Under 49 CFR 173.22, it is the shipper’s responsibility to properly classify a material in accordance with the hazard class definitions in part 173 or to determine that the material does not meet a hazard class definition and does not meet the definition in § 171.8 of a hazardous substance, hazardous waste or a marine pollutant. If a material meets a hazard class definition, or meets the definition of a hazardous substance, hazardous waste or a marine pollutant but is not listed by name in the § 172.101 table, then selection of a proper shipping name must be made from the generic descriptions or n.o.s. entries corresponding to the specific hazard class, packing group, and subsidiary hazards of the material.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
172.101, 173.22
