Dear Mr. Traylor:

This responds to your May 22, 2007 email requesting clarification of the duplicate labeling provisions of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if you may apply a duplicate label if you do not meet one of the conditions listed in §172.406(e) of the HMR.

The answer is yes. Generally, duplicate labeling is not required on a package or containment device except under the conditions specified in § 172.406(e) (see § 172.406(a)(2)). However, nothing in the HMR prohibits the application of duplicate labels. Thus, you may apply duplicate labels to a package even where the conditions specified in § 172.406(e) are not met. If you elect to apply a duplicate label, it is not necessary to also apply a duplicate shipping name marking.

I hope this answers your inquiry.

Sincerely,

John A. Gale

Chief, Standards Development

Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
