Subject: INFORMATION: Clarification of 49 CFR 173.8
From: Delmer F. Billings, Chief
Standards Development, OHM-II
To: William A. Quade, Chief
Hazardous Materials Division, MC-ECH
This is in response to your request for clarification of the provisions in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) authorizing use of non-specification bulk: packagings, under certain conditions (§ 173.8). You ask whether this exception affects the provisions of § 173.315.
The answer is no. Section 173.8 provides for the continued use of certain non-specification cargo
tanks which were authorized for intra-state carriers by State law or regulation, but not otherwise authorized by the HMR.. The use of non-specification cargo tanks which are specifically authorized by the HMR, such as those in § 173.315, is not affected by § 173.8.
