Mr. Kurt Colborn                    Reference No. 05-0138
Director, Technical Services

Cranberry Township, PA 16066

Dear Mr. Colborn:

This is in response to your June 10, 2005 letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you seek concurrence that your Super Load Wrapper™ (SLW) gondola lining system meets the general design requirements of § 173.410.

Based on the information you provided, it is our opinion that a gondola railcar with a SLW lining system would satisfy the general design requirements of § 173.410. In addition, the gondola railcar with the SLW lining system would also qualify as an IP-1 (Industrial packaging) in accordance with § 173.411(b).

I trust this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
