Dear Mr. Miller:
This is in response to your letter and subsequent telephone conversation with a member of my staff concerning the classification for lead compounds under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Specifically, you request clarification pertaining to the use of the entry "Lead compounds, soluble, n.o.s." and whether you must consider the results of the solubility test in Special Provision 138. You state that your lead compounds do not meet the definition of Division 6.1 under § 173.132 and that they are not hazardous wastes, hazardous substances, or marine pollutants.
Special Provision 138 does not apply in your situation. Your material does not meet the definition of Division 6.1; therefore, you may not use the entry, "Lead compounds, soluble, n.o.s.". Under the HMR, unless an entry is preceded by a plus (+) sign in Column (1) of the HMT, a material listed by name that does not meet the corresponding hazard class may not be described using that description. If you determine that your material meets the definition of another hazard class, you must choose the most appropriate proper shipping name with a hazard class assignment applicable to the material. If you determine that the material does not meet the definition of another hazard class and is not a hazardous substance, hazardous waste or marine pollutant, then the material is not subject to the HMR.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact this office if you need additional assistance.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
