Dear Mr. Galang:
This is in response to your June 25; 2001 letter asking if the emergency response phone number for
export shipments must be monitored for the time the material is in transportation, including lay-overs in
foreign countries. Additionally, you ask if the emergency response phone number must be monitored
for vessel shipments originating in the U.S. but outside of the 12-mile international border.
The answer to both questions is yes. A U.S. shipper must monitor the emergency response phone
umber the entire time a shipment is in transportation (until it reaches its destination as designated on th
hipping paper) in accordance with § 172.604. This requirement applies to both air and vesse
shipments.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
She 17 Megal
