No. 02-0038\n!\nMurray, KY 42071\nDear Ms. Houser:\nThis is in response to your February 5, 2002 letter requesting clarification of § 172.204 of the\nHazardous Materials Regulations (HIMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if the\nshipping papers given to and retained by a secondary carrier must contain the shipper's certification.\nThe answer is no. In accordance with § 177.817(b), the shipper is required to provide the initial\nnighway carrier with a shipping paper that includes a signed shipper's certitication. Any subsequen\naighway carrier that transports the same hazardous material shipment is not required to be provided\nwith or maintain the shipper's certification; however, secondary carriers must maintain a shipping\npaper that otherwise conforms to Part 172, Subpart C.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nDelmer F.

Roadrunner picks the\nHazardous Materials loads. Our company is a truck load carrier and we have been\nlelivery ticker from the original bills of lading. \"The dolivery ticket is then used as the\nfreight up from the original shipper. Them they consolidate the load and print ou\ncertification are not given to PIL. The delivery ticket contains the proper shipping\nshipping document for the load we pick up. The original bills that have the shipper's\ndescription (proper name, hazard class, UN/NA number and Packing group) and the\negulations if the only document we have on file is the delivery ticket from Roadrunne\nmergency response number, but has no shipper's certification. Are we within th\nor are we required to have on file a copy of the original bills that contain the shippr's\ncertification?\nI thank you for your help in this matter. If you require more information please call ne at\n270-753-1717 ext 358.
