Dear Mr. Doheny:
This is in response to your letter requesting clarification relating to shipments of "foodstuffs" in the same motor vehicle with material that is labeled POISON GAS under the provisions of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if it is permissible to transport Division 2.3 materials in the same transport vehicle with material known to be foodstuffs.
The answer is yes. Section 177.841(e)(1) does not restrict the transportation of Division 2.3 materials from being transported with foodstuffs; the restriction in ' 177.841(e)(1) applies only to materials bearing a POISON or POISON INHALATION HAZARD label in Division 6. 1.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
