Mr. Robin J. Eddy Bolte Reference No. 07-0053

Dear Mr. Bolte:
This responds to your letter dated March 1, 2007, regarding whether a material described
as “Sulfur dioxide, 2.3, UN 1079” is regulated under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR 49 CFR Parts 171-180) as a hazardous substance requiring entry of the letters on shipping papers and package markings.
The answer is no. Under the HMR, “Sulfur dioxide” is not specifically listed as a hazardous substance in § 172.101, Appendix A and, therefore, does not meet the definition of a hazardous substance in § 171.8. The letters “RQ” may not be shown on the shipping paper or package marking in association with the proper shipping name.
I hope this satisfies your inquiry. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
172.101, 171.8
