Dear Ms. Czeczuga:
This is in response to your letter dated September 10, 1998, requesting clarification on the limited quantity and consumer commodity provisions for Class 3 and Division 2.1 materials in §§ 173.150(b) (2) and 173.306(a) (3) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether your packagings containing isopropyl alcohol may be shipped under these provisions.
Based on the information provided in your letter, you are correct in your understanding of the use of the limited quantity and consumer commodity exceptions for Class 3 materials in §.173.150(b) (2) and Division 2.1 materials in § 173.306(a) (3). Limited quantities of Class 3 materials and Division 2.1 materials are excepted from labeling requirements, unless offered for transportation by aircraft, placarding, and specification packaging.
In addition, a limited quantity of Class 3 or a Division 2.1 material which meets the definition of a consumer commodity in § 171.8, may be renamed consumer commodity and re-classed as ORM-D. An ORM-D material is also excepted from shipping paper requirements of the HMR unless it meets the definition of a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or a marine pollutant, or is offered for transportation by aircraft.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
