Dear Mr. Sanders:

This is in response to your letter dated July 31, 2003, concerning the reclassification of a material as “Consumer commodity, ORM-D” under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR 49 CFR Parts 171-180).  Specifically, you asked if a material properly described as “Consumer commodity, ORM-D” is subject to special provision 47 (see § 172.102).

The answer is no.  A material that has been appropriately reclassified as “Consumer commodity, ORM-D” as authorized in column (8A) of the HMT is no longer subject to special provision 47, which applies to the original shipping description.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
