Dear Mr. Strasser,
This is in response to your letter of February 10, 2000, requesting clarification of the notification requirements in § 178.28 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically you ask how often a manufacturer or subsequent distributor of a packaging must provide closure instructions to a customer.
Once notification has been made it is not necessary to send identical notification again, provided such notification is clearly identified as being applicable to a particular packaging for a stated amount of time, or "until further notice" or similar language. Therefore, only one notification is necessary as long as the package design remains the same and there is no change in closure or other use instructions.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
