Morales\n'omah Products, Inc\nRef. No.: 02-0070\n74 West 19th Stree\nReserve, LA 70084\nDear Mr. Morales:\nThis is in response to your letter dated February 7, 2002 requesting clarification of the periodic retest\nand reinspection requirements specified in 49 CFR § 173.33(a)(3). Specifically, you ask when a cargo\ntank motor vehicle is supplied by the motor carrier is the shipper responsible for assuring that the retest\nor reinspection dates are not past due prior to loading the material?\nAs provided by § 173.33(a)(3), when the prescribed periodic retest or reinspection under § 180.407 is\npast due, a specification cargo tank motor vehicle may not be filled and offered for transportation until\nthe retest or reinspection has been successfully completed. However, the shipper's responsibilities\nconcerning the filling of carrier supplied cargo tanks extend to the requirements in part 173 and not to\nthe continuing requalification requirements contained in part 180. In essence, this requirement does not\napply to an offeror (shipper) when the cargo tank is supplied by the motor carrier.\nI trust this satisfies your inquiry. If we can be of further assistance, please contact us.\nSincerely,\nDelme F6S:160\nDelmer F.
