Dear Mr. Poole:
This is in response to your letter requesting confirmation that the ferrosilicon you purchase and resell is not subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171180). You state that your product was tested in accordance with the test method described in Appendix E to Part 173, and found it does not meet the definition of a Division 4.3 (Dangerous When Wet) material.
As provided in §173.22 it is the shipper=s responsibility to properly classify a hazardous material. However, if the ferrosilicon sold by your company is the same material that was tested in accordance with the U.N. Manual of Tests and Criteria and determined not to meet the Division 4.3 criteria, it is not subject to the HMR.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
<
