Dear Ms. Knight:

This is in response to your March 14, 2003 letter and subsequent telephone conversation with a member of my staff requesting clarification of the provisions in § 172.203(c) and (k) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).  Specifically, you ask if the technical name and name identifying the hazardous substance may be listed on the shipping paper in the same set of parentheses.

The answer is yes.  Technical names and the names representing hazardous substances may be placed in a single set of parentheses.  Section 172.203(c) and (k) require the name identifying the hazardous substance, if not identified by the proper shipping name, and the technical name to be entered in parentheses in association with the basic description.

I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,

John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
