Dear Mr. Duque:

This is in response to your letter dated July 27, 2007 and subsequent telephone conversation with Ben Supko of my staff, requesting clarification of the registration requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask for clarification of the registration provisions in § 107.601 applicable to the shipment of asbestos in a 22.94 cubic meter (30 cubic yards) roll-off. In addition, during the telephone conversation with Mr. Supko, you indicated that the asbestos is bagged in order for the roll-off to comply with the sift-proof closed bulk bin requirement

in § 173.240(c).

Section 107.601(4) states that a person offering a hazardous material in a bulk packaging, container, or tank with a capacity equal to or greater than 13,248 liters (3,500 gallons) for liquids or gases or more than 13.24 cubic meters (468 cubic feet) for solids is subject to the registration requirement. The roll-off container you are using to transport the asbestos has a capacity of 22.94 cubic meters; therefore, you must register.

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

Sincerely,

John A. Gale
