Dear Mr. Burnett:
This is in response to your letter dated June 29, 1999, requesting clarification of a proper shipping description under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you asked if it was permissible for a coating kit containing two receptacles of coating solution, one classified as packing group (PG) II and the other classified as PG III, to be described under one shipping description as a PG II material.
The answer is no. A Class 3, PG III material may not be described on a shipping paper as a PG II material. In the scenario you describe, the PG II and PG III coating solution should be described separately on your shipping paper.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
