Dear Mr. Lloyd:
This is in response to your letter of March 6, 1998, requesting clarification of marking requirements for portable tanks in § 172.326(b) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR.; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You question whether the marking of the owner's name on a leased IM101 portable tank intended for export shipment satisfies § 172.326(b).
The answer is no. The name of the owner or of the lessee, if applicable, must be displayed on a portable tank that contains a hazardous material (§172.326(b)). If a portable tank is leased, the lessee's name must be marked on the tank. A leased tank makes the marking of the lessee's name an applicable requirement.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
