Dear Corporal Rucker:
This is in response to your letter of October 9, 1998, regarding requirements to identify marine pollutants on shipping papers under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) . Specifically you ask if it is acceptable to describe leaded gasoline on a shipping paper as "Gasoline (leaded), 3, UN1203, PG II, Marine Pollutant."
The answer is yes. Section 172.203(l) (1)states that if a proper shipping name for a material that is a 'marine pollutant does not identify the component making it a marine pollutant, the name of that component must appear in parentheses in association with the basic description. A previous letter of clarification dated October 19, 1993 (enclosed) states the shipping name 'Gasoline" and the notation "Marine Pollutant" which appear as part of the proper shipping description are sufficient to identify the marine pollutant "Gasoline, leaded." It is the opinion of this Office that the description "Gasoline, (leaded), 3, UN1203, PG II, Marine Pollutant' is also an acceptable description for leaded gasoline.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
