Dear Mr. Greenberg:
This is in response to your letter dated July 28, 1998, requesting clarification of the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180) to shipments of manufactured products containing asbestos.
Asbestos contained in manufactured articles, (e.g., vinyl floor tiles or roofing papers), or immersed or fixed in a natural or artificial binder material (e.g., cement or asphalt) is not subject to the HMR (§ 173.216(b)). You stated in your letter that all of the asbestos containing materials that you offer for transportation are in manufactured products. Therefore, these products are not subject to the HMR.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
173.216(b)
