Dear Ms. Mayrand-Burney:
This is in response to your letter dated January 31, 2000, regarding the transportation of aerosols under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically you ask if aerosols may be offered for transportation in packages that exceed 30 kg (66 pounds).
Materials transported under the proper shipping name "Aerosols" must be packaged in accordance with § 173.306. Under ' 173.306 each outside package may not exceed 30 kg (66 pounds) gross weight. However, a limited quantity of aerosols that meets the definition of consumer commodity may be renamed consumer commodity and reclassed ORM-D (see § 173.306(h)). The 30 kg (66 pound) gross weight limitation does not apply to materials classed as ORM-D when shipped under the provisions of § 173.156(b)(1) or (2).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
