Mr. Kevin Henson

End of State Route 238

Yorktown, VA 23690-5000

Reference No. 09-0040

Dear Mr. Henson:

This is in response to your request for clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) regarding information required to be included on the

dangerous cargo manifest. Specifically, you ask whether the subsidiary hazard class and the packing group must be included on the dangerous cargo manifest.

The answer is yes. Section 176.30(a)(5) requires the classification of the hazardous material, which includes the subsidiary hazard class and the packing group, to be noted on the

dangerous cargo manifest. The dangerous cargo manifest assures that information about the hazardous materials on board a vessel is readily available in a single document. As specified

in § 176.30(b), the hazardous material information on the dangerous cargo manifest must be

the same as the information furnished by the shipper on the shipping order or other shipping document. The wording in § 176.30(a) will be revised to provide clarification in an upcoming rulemaking.

I hope this information is helpful. Please contact this office if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,

Hattie L. Mitchell

Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
