Dear Ms. Grant:

This is in response to your December 22, 1998, letter concerning the training requirements for materials shipped under the small quantity exceptions in § 173.4 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171 - 180).

Materials which meet the requirements of § 173.4 are not subject to any other requirements of the HMR.  Therefore, persons who ship hazardous materials under the provisions of § 173.4 are not subject to the formal training requirements of Subpart H in Part 172.  A person who offers small quantity shipments under § 173.4 is still responsible for properly classifying and naming the material as well as correctly determining if the material may be shipped as a small quantity.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

Thomas G. Allan
Transportation Regulations Specialist
