Dear Mr. Bell:
This is in response to your e-mail to the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration"s Hazardous Materials Information Center pertaining to special permits. In your e-mail, you ask whether § 172.203(a) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) requires the notation "DOT-SP 11110" to be placed on shipping papers accompanying packages offered for transportation under Special Permit Number DOT-SP 11110.
The answer is no. Under the HMR, a shipper is responsible for noting the special permit number on a shipping paper and package marking for a hazardous material authorized for transportation under the terms of a special permit (see §§ 171.1, 171.2, 171.3, 172.203(a) and 172.301(a)). DOT-SP 11110 is an operational special permit issued only to carriers that authorizes hazardous materials to be stowed in the manner specified in the special permit. Therefore, the shipper"s responsibility to note the special permit number on the shipping paper and package marking does not apply.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
T. Glenn Foster
