Ref. No. 12-0109
Dear Mr. Heine:
This responds to your letter requesting clarification of Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to household-generated solid waste. Specifically, you ask whether soiled diapers packaged and offered for transportation by your customers to a commercial carrier who then delivers them to your facility are subject to the HMR.
The answer is no. As specified in § 173.134(b)(13)(i) of the HMR, household waste that does not meet the definition of any other hazard class is not subject to the requirements of the HMR as a Division 6.2 material but may be subject to other state, local, or tribal requirements.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of any further assistance.
Sincerely,
T. Glenn Foster
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Branch
Standards and Rulemaking Division
