Mr. Eugene J. Secor                    Ref.  No. 99-0198
HB Fuller Company
25200 Malvina Avenue
Warren, MI 48089

Dear Mr. Secor:

This is in response to your letter dated July 13, 1999, and subsequent telephone conversation with a member of my staff, regarding the small quantity exception in § 173.4 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).  Specifically you ask if your one piece molded plastic device consisting of two separate reservoirs would be considered two separate inner receptacles.

Upon examination of your device it is the opinion of this Office that it is two separate receptacles that are attached.  Provided each receptacle contains less than the quantities specified in § 173.4 for inner receptacles, you may qualify for the small
quantity exception.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
