Mr. Gordon Rousseau
HMT Associates, L.L.C.
1850 K Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20006-3500

Dear Mr. Rousseau:

This is in response to your letter dated January 29, 1998 on behalf of CAT Contracting, Inc., requesting confirmation of the non-applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (49 CFR Parts 171-180; HMR) to a cured-in-place pipe reconstruction material consisting primarily of resin-impregnated felt.

In confirmation of your understanding, this material does not meet the defining criteria for a hazardous material and is not subject to the IDv1R. This determination is based on the information provided in your letter and the understanding that the material is neither a forbidden material under the provisions of 49 CFR 173.21 nor a hazardous substance as defined in 49 CFR 171.8. If the material is packaged in a quantity wherein the styrene constituent meets or exceeds 1000 pounds, it would be regulated as a hazardous substance.

I trust this satisfies your inquiry. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.

Sincerely,

 

Edward T. Mazzullo
Director, office of Hazardous
Materials Standards
