Dear Mr. Bomgardner:
This is in response to your letter of November 24, 1997, requesting confirmation of your opinion that the requirements for duplicate markings on packagings with a gross mass of more than 30 kg (66 pounds) in § 178.3(a)(5) applies to packages manufactured on or after October 1, 1996.
You opinion is correct. The provisions for duplicate markings of packagings as specified in § 178.3(a)(5) applies to packages manufactured on or after October 1, 1996. Packages manufactured prior to this date are not required to display duplicate markings, although it is permissive to do so.
I hope this information is of assistance to you. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Regulations Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
