Mr. Stephen A. Kemp Reference No. 02-0155
Director, Environmental Services
St. John's Health System

Springfield, MO 65804-2263
Dear Mr. Kemp:
This is in response to your letter and July 16, 2002 telephone conversation with a member of my staff concerning the transportation of "Regulated medical waste,6-2, UN 3291, PG II" under 49 CFR 173.134(b)(3).
Your understanding of the exceptions in § 173.134(b)(3) is correct. As provided by § 173.134(b)(3), a regulated medical waste that is transported by, a private or contract carrier is excepted from: (1) the "INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE" label, if the outer packaging is marked with a "BIOHAZARD" marking conforming to 29 CFR 1910.1030, and (2) for other than a waste culture or stock of an infectious substance, the specific packaging requirements in § 173.197, if packaged in a rigid, non-bulk, non-specification packaging conforming to §§ 173.24 and 173.24a, and 29 CFR 1910.1030.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
