Dear Mr. Varga:
This is in response to your letter dated March 5, 1999, concerning the definition of "non-DOT specification portable tanks suitable for the transport of liquids."
When the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) authorize a 'non-DOT specification portable tank suitable for the transport of liquids" any portable tank, as defined in § 171.8, may be used for the transportation of liquids or solids as long as the portable tank meets the general packaging requirements in §§ 173.24 and 173.24b. If the HMR authorize its use, no exemption is required to use a non-DOT specification portable tank. In addition, there are no requirements in the HMR to identify a portable tank as a "non-DOT specification portable tank suitable for the transport of liquids."
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
