Dear Ms. Device:
This is in response to your letter dated May 17, 2000 concerning specification packaging requirements for combination packagings under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically you ask if you may use a DOT specification 4B240 cylinder as an inner metal receptacle for a combination packaging authorized under §173.213(b).
The answer is yes. A DOT specification cylinder may be used as an inner receptacle of a combination packaging provided the outer packaging has been successfully tested with the DOT specification cylinder or similar packaging as an inner receptacle.
We hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
