Research Triangle Park, NC 27560

Dear Mr. Romach:

This is in response to your June 13, 2001i letter requesting clarification of marking requirements in § 172.322(d) 3)of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the highway transportation of a placarded bulk packaging or transport vehicle containing a hazardous material that is also a marine pollutant.

A packaging containing a marine pollutant must have the "Marine Pollutant" mark placed on each bulk and non-bulk packaging when transported by vessel.  For transportation by highway, rail, or air, the "Marine Pollutant"  mark is required on each bulk packaging that contains a marine pollutant, And each vehicle or freight container that contains a package that requires the "Marine Pollutant" mark.  However, as provided by § 172.322(d)(3), the "Marine Pollutant" mark is not required on a bulk package or transport vehicle that is already labeled or placarded in accordance with Subpart E or F of Part 172, except when transported by vessel.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale
