Dear Mr. Friedman:
This is in response to your letter dated August 22, 2000 regarding the shipment of environmental samples. Specifically, you ask if a inside receptacle of a combination packaging that does not meet the outage requirements of 49 CFR 173.24a(d) may be placed inside a secondary packaging capable of containing all of the liquid in the primary receptacle.
Section 173.24a(d) states that liquids may not completely fill a receptacle at a temperature of 55 C (131 F) or less. It is die opinion of this office that hazardous material may be placed in an inside container of a combination packaging that does not itself meet the outage requirements of § 173.24a(d) provided that the inner packaging is placed within a secondary inside packaging which does meet the outage requirements and other applicable packaging requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171-180).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
