Dear Mr. Van Duzer:
This is in response to your letter dated July 29, 1998, requesting clarification of the mixed packaging requirements under § 173.61(a) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations(HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
The intent of § 173.61 is to prohibit the packaging of explosive items with any other material in the same outside packaging. As used in § 173.61, the phrase ~any other material" includes hazardous material and non-hazardous material. Thus, no other material may be placed in the same outside packaging with the explosive.
I hope this satisfies your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
