Dear Mr. Jablonski:
This is in response to your December 11, 2008 letter regarding requirements applicable to the transportation of lithium batteries installed in and packaged with equipment under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) as amended in Docket HM 224C and HM 224E, published August 9, 2007 (72 FR 44929). Specifically, you ask if the exception from the prohibition on the transport of primary lithium batteries by passenger aircraft under Special Provision 188 applies to batteries packaged with equipment.
The answer is yes. The exception from the prohibition on the transport of primary lithium batteries by passenger aircraft in Special Provision 188 under paragraph a.(2) applies to batteries packed "in" as well as "with" equipment.
