Dear Ms. Coughlin:
This is in response to your October 24, 2000, letter requesting clarification of shipments of agricultural samples packaged with dry ice under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically you ask if agricultural samples frozen with more than 2.3 kg (5 pounds) of dry ice shipped to a chemistry laboratory for analysis are excepted from shipping paper and certification requirements under the provisions of § 173.217(e).
The answer is no. The exception from the shipping paper and certification requirements under § 173-217 (e) is limited to the transportation of material for diagnosis or treatment (i.e., the diagnosis or treatment of humans or animals).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
