Reference No. 15-0080

Dear Mr. Martin:

This is in response to your April 23, 2015 email regarding requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the use of portable tanks.  Specifically you ask what DOT specification and UN portable tanks are authorized for the transport of UN3308, Liquefied Gas, Toxic, Corrosive n.o.s. (Hexafluoroacetone, Perfluoropropionyl Fluoride), 2.3 (8) Inhalation Hazard Zone B.  

In accordance with the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT), UN3308, Liquefied Gas, Toxic, Corrosive n.o.s. (Hexafluoroacetone, Perfluoropropionyl Fluoride), 2.3 (8) Inhalation Hazard Zone B may be transported in portable tanks authorized in § 173.315 that also meet the conditions of special provisions B9 and B14. As provided in § 173.315, DOT 51 portable tanks are authorized. UN3308 is not assigned a portable tank “T” Code in column (7) of the HMT and may not be transported in a UN portable tank unless approved by the Associate Administrator.

I trust this information is helpful.  If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,

Duane Pfund
