Dear Mr. Rawn:
This responds to your letter of August 28, 2001, requesting clarification o f the testing requirements for cargo tanks under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You provide an example where a cargo tank had a thickness test (due every 2 years) performed on 8/1/99 and the cargo tank was marked 8/99. You ask whether the cargo tank must be retested by August 1, 2001 or if it may be tested anytime within the month of August, 2001.
It is acceptable to test a cargo tank within the month that the test is due (the month that is marked on the cargo tank). In your example, the cargo tank may be retested anytime within the month of August, 2001,
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
