Dear Mr. Rich:
This is in response to your letter dated July 10, 2000 regarding the transportation of a combustible liquid under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if a liquid that meets the definition of a combustible liquid under § 173.120(b) is subject to the HMR when transported in a non-bulk packaging.
The answer is no. As provided by § 173.120(b)(1), a combustible liquid is defined as a material that has a flash point above 60.5°C (1410F) and below 93°C (200°F) and that does not meet the definition of any other hazard class under the HMR. A combustible liquid transported in a non-bulk packaging is not subject to the HMR unless it is a hazardous substance, a hazardous waste, or a marine pollutant (§ 173.150(f)(2)).
I hope this satisfies your request
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
