Dear Mr. Kruger:
This is in response to your letter regarding clarification of the requirements for the display of old and new placards for explosives under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). I apologize for the delay in responding and hope it has not caused any inconvenience.
As provided by § 171.14(b), until October 1, 2001, placards which conform to specifications for placards in effect on September 30, 1991, or placards specified in the December 21 1990 final rule may be used, for highway transportation only, in place of the placards specified in Subpart F of Part 172, in accordance with the "Placard Substitution Table." Therefore, the old or new placards may currently be used for explosives under the described conditions.
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
