No. 01-0159 President Nuckly Packaging Company, Iric. 2341 Scranton Road Cleveland, OH 44113 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 Edward Mazzullo Director, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards 172604 010159#
