Dear Mr. Gaskill:
This is in response to your letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRi 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to manufactured articles containing limited quantities of hazardous material. You state that you are using the proper shipping names "Ethy~ether," UNl155, PG I and "Pentanes," UN1265, PG I for transporting these manufactured articles and request confirmation of your understanding of the limited quantities provision (§ 173.150) specified for these entries in the exceptions column of the Hazardous Materials Table.
You are correct in your understanding of the limited quantity exceptions for Class 3 (flammable liquids) as provided in
§ 173.150. For Packing Group I materials, an inner packaging may not exceed .1 gallon and the gross weight of the packaging may not exceed 66 pounds. Although the quantity of hazardous material in your manufactured articles is less than .1 gallon, the gross weight of each article is over 66 pounds. Therefore, your manufactured articles do not meet the requirements for the limited quantity exceptions in § 173.150.
You may wish to contact the Research and, Special Programs Administration's Office. of Exemptions and Approvals. Exemptions are granted on a case-by-case basis to authorize the relief of 'certain requirements under the HMR. Procedures for applying for an exemption are set forth in § 107.105 of the HMR. The Office of Exemptions and Approvals may be reached by telephone at (202) 366-4512.
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
