Dear Mr. Romach:
This is in response to your letter of March 4, 1999, requesting clarification on the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) as they pertain to the transportation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Magnet machine by highway. You state that the MRI machine contains helium, refrigerated liquid as a refrigerant to keep the system at a low temperature during transit. Specifically, you ask whether the machine qualifies as a "process system"' under the provisions in 49 CFR § 173.320(b) (2) .
Based on the information you provided, the answer is yes. The machine qualifies as a process system and, as provided by § 173.320(b)(2), is not subject to the requirements in 49 CFR Parts 171-180.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell, Chief
