Dear Mr. Bandstra:

This is in response to your May 5, 2004 letter regarding classification of certain lead compounds destined for export transportation under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether your company is allowed to classify your product as “Lead compounds, soluble, n.o.s., Division 6.1” for export transportation when it is known by testing not to meet the Division 6.1 criteria for poisonous materials. You state the material is a soluble lead compound and contains a reportable quantity of lead metal.

The shipping name “Lead compounds, soluble, n.o.s.” may not be used for a material that does not meet the criteria for a Division 6.1 material as specified in § 173.132 of the HMR. If you wish to apply for an exemption, the application for exemption procedures is found in § 107.105 of the HMR, or you may contact the Office of Hazardous Materials Exemptions and Approvals at 202-366-4511.

I hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
