Dear Mr. Roberts:
This is in response to your letter dated September 21, 2000 regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to a cylinder of anhydrous ammonia that is installed in a motor vehicle. The anhydrous ammonia is used as a reducing agent in the motor vehicle's exhaust system.
Compressed gas cylinders used as part of an exhaust system for a motor vehicle and not to transport cargo are not subject to the Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.) or the HMR. Therefore, a cylinder of anhydrous ammonia that is installed in a motor vehicle for the purpose of reducing harmful emissions is not subject to the HMR.
I hope this satisfies your request. You should also contact the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to see if your system complies with their regulations.
Sincerely,
Edward T. Mazzullo
Director, Officer of Hazardous Materials Standards
