Dear Mr. Sutherland:
This responds to your September 12, 2008, letter requesting clarification on the proper spelling of a proper shipping name under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if you are permitted to use an alternate spelling of the proper shipping name, "Extracts Flavouring Liquid" instead of the United States spelling "Extracts Flavoring Liquid" for shipments within the U.S. and vessel shipments.
The HMR authorize the use of alternate spellings for proper shipping names as found in international standards, such as the International Civil Aviation Organization Technical Instructions on the Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and the International Maritime Dangerous Goods Code. See §172.101(c)(1). Authorization to use such alternate spellings is not limited to shipments intended for international transportation or for which all or part of the transportation is by air or vessel. Thus, "Extracts Flavouring Liquid" is an authorized proper shipping name under the HMR.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Susan Gorsky
Acting Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
