Dear Mr. Bomgardner:
This is in response to your letter dated April 8, 1999, regarding the placement of an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) waste code in shipping descriptions for hazardous wastes. Specifically, you ask if a materials EPA waste code can be placed between the shipping name and hazard class.
Section 172.202 (d) authorizes the placement of technical and chemical group names between the proper shipping name and hazard class. It is the opinion of this office, that the hazardous waste code designated by the EPA for a material may be placed, on shipping papers, between the proper shipping tame and hazard class. However, except for a material described as “Hazardous waste, liquid or solid, n.o.s”, an EPA hazardous waste code cannot be used to satisfy the requirement to place the technical name of the hazardous material in association with the basic description. (See § 172.203 (k).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
Acting Director
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
