No. 01-0246 Regulatory Compliance Specialist Occidental Chemical Company 5005 LBJ Freeway Dallas, TX 75244-6119 Dear Ms. Palazzo: This is in response to your letter dated September 24, 2001, requesting clarification on the placement of the total quantity on a shipping paper. Specifically, you ask whether additional information may be placed between the basic description required by § 172.202(a)(1), (2), (3), and (4) and the total quantity required by § 172:202(a)(5). The answer is yes. Section 172.201(a)(4) states that the shipping paper may contain additional information concerning the material provided the information is not inconsistent with the shipping description. Additional information concerning the material must be placed after the basic description (§ 172.201(a)(4))). When the total quantity appears after the basic description, additional information may be placed before or after the total quantity. I hope this satisfies your request. Sincerely, Gehun Millio Delmer F. Billings Chief, Standards Development Office of Hazardous Materials Standards HINNIN 010246 -#
