Dear Mr. Phillips:

This is response to your letter dated October 10, 2006, letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) pertaining to hazardous materials authorized to be transported under the proper shipping name "Consumer commodity". Specifically, you ask whether your charcoal briquette product may be transported as "Consumer Commodity" ORM-D.

Under § 173.151(c), charcoal briquettes may be renamed "Consumer commodity" and reclassed as "ORM-D" provided each package does not exceed 30 kg (66 lbs) gross weight and the briquettes, as packaged, meet the definitions of a consumer commodity as specified in § 171.8.

I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale

Chief, Standards Development
