Dear Mr. Anderson:
This responds to your November 3, 2009 letter regarding the exceptions for limited quantities of compressed gases under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if a metal container filled with a liquefied compressed gas (LPG) designed to expel a non-poisonous paint for air brush painting kits may utilize the exception in § 173.306(a)(3). The container would contain a flammable compressed gas propellant but would not contain the corresponding liquid, paste, or powder.
The exception in § 173.306(a)(3) is limited to aerosol containers not exceeding one liter capacity in which one or more gases are used to expel other material that is a liquid, paste or powder. An LPG packaged without a liquid, paste, or powder in the container, is not eligible for the exception.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Charles E. Betts
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
173.306(a)(3)
