Dear Mr. Jandora:

This is in response to your August 11, 2005 letter regarding the exceptions for limited quantities of compressed gases as specified in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if aerosol cans containing foodstuffs prepared in accordance with § 173.306(b) (1) are subject to either the hot water bath test in § 173.306 (a) (3) or special venting features authorized under DOT-E-07951.

The answer is no. If the container meets the conditions specified in § 173.306(b) (1), the hot water bath test and special venting features are not applicable.

I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,        

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

173.306(b)(1)
