Dear Mr. Eargood:
This responds to your letter regarding the entry of additional information on a shipping paper for cargo tanks and tanks cars containing the residue of a hazardous material, in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the shipping paper for an empty cargo tank or tank car that contains the residue of a hazardous material must be annotated with the words "Residue Last Contained".
The description on the shipping paper for a packaging, such as a cargo tank, containing the residue of a hazardous material may, but is not required to, include the phrase, "RESIDUE: Last Contained * * *" in association with the basic description of the hazardous material previously contained in the packaging (See § 172.203(e)(1)). However, the shipping paper description for a tank car containing the residue of a hazardous material must include the phrase, "RESIDUE: LAST CONTAINED * * *" before the basic description (§ 172.203(e)(2)).
I hope this satisfies your inquiry. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
