Dear Dr. Sutherland:
This is in response to your February 5, 2006 letter requesting clarification regarding the appropriate proper shipping name for your material as specified under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if your client’s material, which does not meet the definition of any hazard class except Class 9 for hazardous waste, may be shipped in its original (non-specification) packaging and described as “Environmentally Hazardous Substances, Liquid, n.o.s. (D002), 9, UN 3082, PG III.”
Under § 173.22, it is the shipper’s responsibility to properly classify a hazardous material and assign it a proper shipping name from the Hazardous Materials Table (HMT). Based on the information provided in your letter and to a member of my staff, it is the opinion of this office that the material should be described as “Hazardous Waste, Liquid, n.o.s (DO0:2), 9, NA 3082, PG III.” The material may be offered for transportation in non-bulk packaging in accordance with § 173.203. Section 173.203 does not authorize non-specification packagings; therefore, the original packaging may not be used.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
Regulatory Review and Reinvention
