Dear Mr. Ware:
This responds to your letter concerning the exception for oxygen in § 175.10 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 17 1-180). Specifically, you ask whether a mixture of "Helium" and "Oxygen," commonly called Heliox, and ranging in ratios from 80:20 to 60:40 and used for medical purposes is excepted from the HMR under the provisions in § 175.10(a)(7).
The answer is yes. As provided in § 175.10(a)(7), oxygen or any hazardous material, including a mixture of helium and oxygen, used for the generation of oxygen, for medical use by a passenger, and furnished by the aircraft operator in accordance with 14 CFR 121.574 or 135.91 is excepted from the HMR.
I trust this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
175.10(a)(7)
