Dear Ms. O'Connor:
This is in response to your March 3, 2010 letter requesting clarification on the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to a calcium silicate alloy material. You request confirmation from this office that the test report submitted with your letter provides sufficient verification that the tested material is not subject to the requirements of the HMR.
As provided in § 173.22, it is the shipper's responsibility to properly classify a hazardous material. Such determinations are not required to be verified by this office. However, based on the test results you provided, it is our opinion that the calcium silicate alloy material described in the test report does not meet the definition of a Division 4.3 material and, provided it does not meet the criteria for another hazard class, it is not subject to the HMR.
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
