Dear Ms. Rakita:
This is in response to your May 30, 2012 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) as they pertain to shipments of UN 1072 Oxygen, compressed. You state that you ship UN 1072 Oxygen, compressed in small non refillable cylinders that meet the criteria for reclassification as ORM-D and are authorized to be shipped as a limited quantity under § 173.306 when you offer the product for transportation by ground. You ask if similar relief is available for shipments made by air.
The answer to your question is no. Shipments of UN 1072 Oxygen, compressed may not take the limited quantity or consumer commodity exceptions provided in § 173.306 because special provision A14 specifically prohibits this material from being transported as a limited quantity or consumer commodity in accordance with § 173.306 when transported aboard an aircraft.
I trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Delmer Billings
Senior Regulatory Advisor
