Dear Mr. Richard:
This is in response to your March 29, 2007 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) concerning certain carbon dioxide cylinders that are used in a medical device to administer needle-free injections. Specifically, you ask whether cylinders may continue to be carried on board a passenger-carrying aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the exceptions in § 175.10 of the HMR.
Our December 13, 2000 reply (Reference Number 02-0206) to Alaska Airlines remains valid. In that letter we stated that it is our opinion the cylinders may be carried aboard passenger- carrying aircraft in checked or carry-on luggage under the provisions in §§ 175.10(a)(4)(i). We also stated that the devices do not qualify for the exceptions in §§ 175. 10(a)(18) and (a)(25). Please note that in a final rule published March 22, 2006, under Docket HM-228 (71 FR 14586), we amended the requirements in the HMR for the transportation of hazardous materials by aircraft. As a result of those amendments, the provisions previously found in § 175.10(a)(4)(i) are now found in § 175.10(a)(1)(i). Additionally, the provisions previously found in §§ 175.10(a)(18) and (a)(25) are now found in §§ 175.10(a)(12) and (a)(11) respectively.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
