Dear Ms. Hicks:

This is in response to your February 6, 2007 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to marine pollutants. Specifically, you ask if a material is considered to be a listed man e pollutant if the technical name of the material does not specifically appear in the table of marine pollutants (172.101, Appendix B) but a synonym does.

The answer is yes. Under the HMR, a material is considered a listed marine pollutant if either its technical name or a synonym appears in the table of marine pollutants.

Sincerely,

John A. Gale

172.101 App.B
