Dear Mr. Johnson:
This is in response to your letter dated March 17, 1999 regarding the bulk packaging requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether non-specification non-bulk packagings of Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (UN2680) may be further packaged in a sift-proof non-DOT specification closed bulk bin, to satisfy § 173.240.
The answer is yes. As provided § 173.240, a non-specification closed bulk bin is an authorized packaging for Lithium hydroxide monohydrate (UN2680). The fact that the material is already packaged in non-bulk packagings is not relevant.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
