Mr. Hobart Huson Reference No. 02-0317
220 Carolwood Drive
San Antonio, TX 78213
Dear Mr. Huson:
This, is in response to your letter dated December 6, 2002, concerning the shipping paper requirements for a shipment consisting of non-hazardous materials and hazardous materials under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if a non-hazardous: material must be described on a shipping paper in the same manner as a hazardous material when transported together as a mixed shipment.
The answer is no. The HMR only apply to the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce. Therefore, the shipping paper requirements in Part 172, Subpart C do not apply to a non-hazardous material. However, a shipping paper that describes both hazardous materials and non-hazardous materials must comply with § 172.201 (a) (1)
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
