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
