Dear Mr. Hahn:

This is in response to your letter dated September 22, 1999, regarding the transportation of a combustible liquid in a non­bulk packaging under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).  Specifically, you ask if liquids that meet the definition of a combustible liquid under § 173.120(b) are subject to the HMR when transported in non-bulk packagings.

A combustible liquid transported in non-bulk packaging is not subject to the HMR unless it is a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or a marine pollutant (§ 173.150(f)).

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

 

John A. Gale
