Dear Mr. Weise:
This is in response to your August 29, 2007 email regarding the transportation of explosives by highway under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
In your letter, you ask whether a truck bed lining manufactured from a spray-on polyurethane coating meets the requirements for a lining of a motor vehicle transporting Division 1.3G or 1.4G (explosive) materials as specified in § 177.835(f) of the HMR.
Paragraph (f) of § 177.835 specifies the requirements for the lining of a motor vehicle transporting Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (explosive) materials by highway. It is the opinion of this Office that provided it consists of either non-metallic material or non-ferrous materials and complies with the remainder of the requirements in § 177.835, a truck bed lining manufactured from a spray-on polyurethane is an acceptable lining for a motor vehicle transporting Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 (explosive) materials by highway. There is no similar provision for the lining of a motor vehicle transporting Division 1.4 (explosive) materials by highway.
I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale,
Chief, Standards Development
