Department\nof Transportation\nWashington, D.C.\n400 Seventh Street, S.W.\n20590\nResearch and\nSpecial Programs\nAdministration\nNOV - 8 2002\nMr. John Ross\nDassault Falcon\nRef. No. 02-0231\nP.O. Box 967\nLittle Rock, AR 72076\nDear Mr. Ross:\nThis is in response to your e-mail dated September 12, 2002, and subsequent telephone conversation...\nwith Sandra Webb of our staff regarding the transportation of dry cell batteries under the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180), Specifically, you ask whether nickel cadmium\nbatteries are subject to the HMR, in particular when transported by aircraft.\nThe answer is no, provided certain conditions are met. In the Hazardous Materials Table, § 172.101\nthe entry Batteries, dry, not subject to the requirements of this subchapter\" references Special\nprovision 130. This provision excepts \"Batteries, dry, not subject to the requirements of this\nsubchapter\" from regulation when they are offered for transportation in a manner that prevents the\ndangerous evolution of heat (for example, by effective insulation of exposed terminals).\nThe HMR contains ar overriding provision in § 173.21, Forbidden materials and packages.\nMaterials forbidden by § 173.21 may not be offered for transportation, or transported in commerce.\nThis section extends the forbidden designation beyond materials specifically identified in the Hazardous\nMaterials Table or elsewhere in the HMR, to various additional general categories including electrical\ndevices which are likely to create sparks or generate a dangerous quantity of heat, unless packaged in a\nmanner which precludes such an occurrence.\nAny electrical device, even one not otherwise subject to the HMR (either by specific exception from\nthe HMR, or because the device and its power source contains no material meeting the definition of a\nhazardous material), is forbidden from being offered for transportation, or transported, if the device is\nlikely to produce sparks or a dangerous quantity of heat.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nDelmer F.
