Dear Mr. Kerstetter:
This is in response to your letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you asked whether Amine D and Amine D Acetate, based on your submitted test report meet the Class 8 corrosivity definition.
The answer is no. Based on the submitted test results, Amine D and Amine D Acetate do not meet the Class 8 corrosivity definition as defined in § 173.13 6 and, therefore, would not be regulated as a corrosive under the HMR.
I hope this information is helpful. Should you have further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
