Dear Mr. Ziebell:
This letter is in response to your March 12, 2019, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the marking requirements for lithium cells and batteries. Specifically, you ask whether more than one telephone number may be provided on the mark required by § 173.185(c)(3). You describe a scenario where one telephone number is provided for the domestic transportation portion of a trip and a different telephone number for the international transportation portion.
The answer is yes. Section 173.185(c)(3)(i)(C) does not prohibit including multiple telephone numbers provided each number reaches a person that can provide additional information on the contents of the package. Furthermore, identifying that one number is for domestic purposes and the other number is for international purposes is also not prohibited.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
Dirk Der Kinderen
Chief, Standards Development
Standards and Rulemaking Division
173.185(c)(3), 173.185(c)(3)(i)(C)
