Billings, MT 59102

Dear Ms. Johnson:

This is in response to your letter concerning a combustible liquid (a spent solvent having a flash point of 40.5°C (1050F) that is being transported to a facility to be reclaimed.

You are correct in your understanding that if the spent solvent is exempt from the Environmental Protection Agency's Hazardous Waste Manifest requirements and is not a hazardous substance or marine pollutant, it is not subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR, Parts 171-180) when packaged in non-bulk packages. (See § 173.150(f) (2).)

I hope this information is helpful. If you need additional information, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,

 

Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
