Freedom, In. 47431

Reference No.: 11-0078

Dear Mr. Cooper:

This responds to your March 30, 2011 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to marking requirements. Specifically, you state in your letter that you have designed an orange panel holder to protect orange panels from damage. You ask whether your orange panel holder is permissible under the HMR so that you may produce this item for commercial sale.

This Office does not provide approval for commercial products. However, provided the orange panel itself meets the identification number marking requirements specified in § 172.332(b), and the orange panel holder does not prevent the marking from meeting the visibility requirements specified in § 172.304, the orange panel holder would be permitted to be used under the HMR.

I hope this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance

Sincerely,

T. Glenn Foster
