Dear Mr. Davis:
This is in response to your letter of January 5, 1998, regarding packaging requirements for Class 9 hazardous materials under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). Specifically you ask whether a shipper may place ten cubic yards of Hazardous waste, solid, n.o.s., 9, NA 3077, III with several non-bulk packages containing Asbestos, 9, NA2212, III in a non-specification sift-proof closed bulk bin.
The answer is yes. As provided in § 173.240, a non-specification closed bulk bin is an authorized bulk packaging for both of the described Class 9 materials. The fact that the asbestos is already packaged in bags is not relevant to this scenario.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Regulations Development
