Mazzullo, Director\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards, DHM-10\nTo\nWilliam Quade\nChief, Hazardous Materials Division\nFMCSA\nThis is in response to your request for clarification of § 172.604. Your questions are\nparaphrased and answered as follows:\nQl.\nWhat is the maximum allowable elapsed time from the time an emergency response call\nis placed, until the caller receives the required information?\nAl.\nSection 172.604(a) requires that the emergency response telephone number be the\nnumber of a person who is either knowledgeable of the hazardous material being shipped\nand has comprehensive emergency response and incident mitigation information for that\nmaterial, or has immediate access to a person who possesses such knowledge and\ninformation. The term \"immediate access\" is not defined in the HMR. However, the\nterm is intended to indicate that the emergency response information must be provided to\na responder without undue delay. Clearly, a few minutes may elapse during a telephone\ncall while the person answering the emergency response telephone number locates\nspecific information on a particular product or contacts a person with that information.\nHowever, any delay longer than a few minutes would be unacceptable.\nQ2.\nMay the caller be referred to another telephone number?\nA2.\nThe answer is no. Providing another telephone number, without providing the required\nresponse information or connecting the emergency responder to a knowledgeable\nperson, does not fulfill the requirements in § 172.604.\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n..:\n-\nQ3.\nThe emergency responder is told that someone will call them back in ten minutes. Is that\nacceptable?\n•À3:: 'The answer is-no. \"Call backs,\" regardless of time parameters, are unacceptable and do\nnot satisfy the requirements in § 172.604.\nQ4.\nIs there a maximum time that the caller should wait for the call to be answered, i.e., a\nmaximum number of rings?\n44.\nThe answer is no.\nQ5.\nIs it acceptable for the person answering the emergency response telephone number to\nread verbatim from the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG)?\nA5.\nMerely reading the information from the ERG does not meet the requirements in\n§ 172.604(a). The person answering the emergency response telephone number should\nhave knowledge beyond the information contained in the ERG; that person should be\nknowledgeable of the hazards and characteristics associated with the hazardous material,\nbe familiar with the terminology and subject matter, and be able to provide\ncomprehensive emergency response and accident mitigation information for the material\ninvolved.\n06.\nIs it acceptable for the person answering the phone to ask for a brand/common name\nbecause that person cannot respond to the proper shipping name.\nA6.\nAs some products contain widely varying concentrations of a hazardous material, the\nperson answering the emergency response telephone number may ask for a trade name\nin order to provide the most appropriate information. Because the emergency responder\nplacing the call may not have access to that information, the person answering the\nemergency response telephone number must be able to provide emergency response\ninformation based on the basic description on the shipping paper.\n#\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\n•,\n:\nGale, John\nSent:\nFrom:\nMazzullo, Ed\nSubject:\nTo:\nThursday, July 12, 2001 9:02 AM\nCorbin\nFW: 172.604 interpretation request\nGale, John\n$172.604\nEmergency Response\nCLOSE\nA clarification is\nnaeded.doc\nPlease assign for handling.\ntelephone Number)\n-Original Message--.\nFrom: Quade, William <FHWA> [mailto:William.Quade@fhwa.dot.gov]\n01-0176\nSent: Thursday, July 12, 2001 7:11 AM\nTo: Mazzullo,\nEd <RSPA>\nCc: Cicero, Anthony <FHWA>; Eno, Andrew <FHWA>; Byrd, Bill <FHWA>;\nshetect: Dan: 1,2,604 intexpretation request\nDaniel <EHWA>\nEd,\nattached is a request for interpretation from the field staff.\ncaise some very good questions.\nAnswers\nare needed to facilitate enforcement\nI think they\nof this regulations.\nappreciate it if we could give this matter some priority.\nI believe there iș some enforcement pending, I would\nBQ\nThanks,\n1\n\n<<<PAGE 4>>>\n\nA\nA interpretation is needed: What is an acceptable response for an emergency response\ncall?

Would the time\nrequired to complete the second call be included in an allowable maximum\namount of elapsed time?\n3) Is it acceptable if the responder says they will call back in ten minutes?\n4) What would be the allowable maximum amount of time the caller should wait\nfor a call to be answered? Should a maximum number of rings be set?\n5) Is it acceptable if the responder reads verbatim from the Emergency Response\nGuide?\n6) Is it acceptable if the responder cannot respond to the proper shipping name?\nComments: We have had responders ask for brand names. We would suggest\nthat responders be required to respond to the proper shipping name or\nidentification numbers as this is the information available to emergency response\npersonnel.\n\n<<<PAGE 5>>>\n\n54336\nFederal Register /Vol. 65, No. 174/Thursday, September 7, 2000/Notices\n(2) Election of Committee Chairman &\nbusiness (5:00 p.m. edt) September 15,\nCommittee Sponsor.\n(3) Remarks by RADM P.
