This is in response to your May 10, 2000 letter requesting clarification of the proper shipping name for a Formaldehyde solution containing 10% neutral buffered formalin under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (Hlv1R; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the proper shipping name should be "Environmentally hazardous substances, liquid, n.o.s." or "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s."

Either shipping name may be used, however, the preferred proper shipping name is "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s." The entry "Aviation regulated liquid, n.o.s," was added to the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table in a final rule published March 5, 1999 (Docket HM-215C; 64 FR 10741) for alignment with the ICAO Technical Instructions and the UN Recommendations.

I trust you find the information helpful.

Sincerely,

Hattie L.Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
