Mr. Andrew N. Romach                           Ref. No. 01-0299
Corporate Regulatory Manager

Dear Mr. Romach:

This is in response to your November 28, 2001 letter requesting clarification on the materials of trade (MOTS) exception found in section § 171.6 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171 -180). Specifically, you ask if an employee from an automobile dealership transports auto parts that meet the definition of a hazardous material to a body shop, would that employee be able to take advantage of the MOTS exception if the transported items meet the inner containment limits in § 173.6.

The described hazardous materials meet the definition for MOTS (§ 171.8). Provided all conditions in § 173.6 are met, the MOTS exception may be applied to your scenario.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
