Dear Ms. Stone:

This is in response to your letter dated January 8, 2004, regarding the requirement to indicate the number and type of packages on shipping papers in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).  Specifically you ask whether you may describe your intermediate bulk container as “Super Sack” on a shipping paper.
                                                                             
The answer is yes.  Section 172.202(a)(6) specifies that the number and type of packages must be indicated.  The type of packages may be indicated by the description and by packaging specification number when applicable.

I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely

John A. Gale, Chief
Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
172.202(a)(6)
