S.E. Washington. DC 20590 Mr. Robert Mitchell Roeder Cartage Company, Inc. 1979 North Dixie Highway Lima, Ohio 45801 Ref. No.: 08-01 06 Dear Mr. Mitchell: This responds to your letter dated April 8,2008, concerning requirements in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 17 1 - 180) applicable to special permits. Specifically, you ask if a special permit number (e.g., SP12930) that is marked on a cargo tank must also be entered on a shipping paper. The answer is yes. Unless otherwise specified in the special permit or except as provided in 9173.23, each shipping paper issued in connection with a shipment made under a special permit must bear the notation "DOT-SP" followed by the special permit number assigned and located so that the notation is clearly associated with the description to which the special permit applies (See 9 1 72.203(a)). I hope this satisfies your inquiry. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us. Sincerely, ,,Ehf 8~) j John A.

Lima, Ohio To: Helen L. Engnun Research and Special Programs Administrator California Department of Vehicle Inspection Violation Subject: Ms. Engrurn, Our Roeder Cartage driver James McFarland received a D.O.T. inspection on 410 112008. The violation was CFR 49 172.203 (q). It stated the trailer tank markings were not on the shipping papers. I could not find this in the ruling. We want to comply and will amend this to the customer shipping papers in the future if we are required to. I have enclosed copies of the vehicle inspection report and the shipping papers for clarification purposes. I would greatly appreciate your help in advising Roeder Cartage in this matter.
