Dear Mr. Walker:
This is in response to your letter dated March 27, 2000, requesting clarification of the provisions in §172.301(a)(3) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
You provided the following scenario:
A truck is loaded at one location with non-bulk packages containing: 9,000 pounds of Sodium hydroxide, 8, UN 1824; 3, 400 pounds of Potassium hydroxide, 8, UN 1814; 1,200 pounds of Isopropyl alcohol, 3, UN 1219; and 4,500 pounds of other non-regulated materials.
Specifically, you ask if the truck must display the appropriate placards and identification number, markings or only placards.
The truck in your scenario requires the display of placards only. Section 172.301(a)(3) requires: identification number markings on a vehicle containing only a single hazardous material in non-bulk packages that are marked with the same proper shipping name and identification number. This requirement does not apply to the above scenario because the truck is loaded with more than one material.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
