Dear Mr. Atkinson:
This is in response to your letter dated December 28, 1999, requesting clarification on whether a
final rule, Docket No. HM-225A, published in the Federal Register on May 24, 1999, apply to
your company's cylinder exchange operation. You state that your company transports propane
cylinders to retailers for sale to individuals. You ask whether, beginning January 1, 2000, your
drivers must carry on each motor vehicle written emergency shut-down procedures as prescribed
in § 177.840(l).
The answer is no. The requirements, as adopted in 49 CFR 177.840(I), apply to the unloading of
Han moto repress see from era. Messe, icemand not appontecitication cargo
tank motor vehicles.
I hope this information is helpful. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.
