Dear Ms. Shepherd:
This is in response to your letter dated September 2, 1999, regarding the use of DOT Specification 7A packagings that were designed in accordance with the requirements in effect on June 30, 1983. I am sorry for the delay and hope this has not caused you any inconvenience.
Section 173.415(a) states that “use of Specification 7A packagings designed in accordance with the requirements of § 178.350 of this subchapter in effect on June 30, 1983 ... is not authorized after April 1, 1997.” However, if it can be determined that a packaging originally designed in accordance with the requirements of § 178.350 in effect on June 30, 1983, meets the current requirements of 49 CFR 178.350, then the packaging would continue to be an authorized Type A packaging.
I hope this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allan
Senior Transportation Regulations Specialist
