Dear Mr. Giaccio:
This is in response to your March 22, 2005, letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if plastic inner packagings for the combination packaging specified in § 173.1 58(f)(3) must have a maximum capacity that is not greater than 2.5 L or whether a larger container can be used and only filled to 2.5 L.
Nitric acid of 70% or less concentration offered for transport by rail, highway, or water may be packaged in certain combination packagings with plastic inner packagings not over 2.5 L capacity further individually overpacked in tightly closed metal packagings (173.158(f )(3)). The use of the term “not over” means that you may not use a plastic inner packaging with a maximum capacity greater than 2.5 L.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
