Dear Ms. Soltys:
This is in response to your December 12, 2000 letter, regarding the use of the shipping name, “Environmentally Hazardous Substance, (liquid or solid), nos” under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
The proper shipping name, “Environmentally Hazardous Substance, (liquid or solid), nos,” may be used for a material not specifically listed in § 172.101, which meets the definition of a Class 9 material. A material need not meet the definition of a hazardous substance in § 171.8 to be associated with this proper shipping name.
A material can meet the Class 9 definition for reasons other than being a hazardous substance. Further, while the United States Environmental Protection Agency does not require the use of a manifest for universal wastes, certain states have not adopted parts or all of the Universal Waste program. Therefore, if a material is subject to the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest in 40 CFR Part 262 in a particular state, the material will, at minimum, meet the definition of a “hazardous waste” under § 171.8.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Transportation Regulations Specialist
