No. 03-0027\nSubject: INFORMATION: Definition of \"on one's person\"\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\nTo:\nWilliam Wilkening\nDangerous Goods Program\nThis is in response to your memo requesting clarification of the phrase \"on one's person\" as used in\n49 CFR 175.10(a)(10). At issue is whether a lighter or pack of matches must be in a person's\nclothing, such as in a pocket, to be \"on one's person\" for carriage by a passenger onto an aircraft.\nSection 175.10(a)(10) excepts from the HMR safety matches or lighters intended for use by an\nindividual when carried \"on one's person.\" It is the opinion of this office that the term \"on one's\nperson\" includes any item carried aboard an aircraft by a passenger, including what would\notherwise be construed as \"carry-on baggage.\" Therefore, a passenger is authorized to carry\nsafety matches or lighters onto an aircraft in their clothing, carry-on baggage, fanny pack, purse, or\nitems which are considered \"checked baggage.\"\nany other item under their control. However, the phrase \"on one's person\" does not include those\nI trust this satisfies your inquiry. If this Office can be of further assistance, please contact us.\n#\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n$ 02/03/03 MON 13:49 FAX 202 267 8496\nACSI\nGale\n4002\nINHOUSS\nMEM\n$ 175.10 (a) C10\n03-50 Exceptions\nMemorandum\nof Transportation\nU.S. Department\nFederal Aviation\n•\nAdministration\nSubject: Interpretation of 49 CFR\nDare: February 3, 2003\n175.10 (a) (10)\nFrom:\nFAA Dangerous Goods, ASI-300\nAttn. of:\nRaply to\nTo:\nEd Mazullo, Director\nRSPA Office of Hazardous Materials\nStandards\nIn 49 CFR 175.10 (a) (10) the Hazardous Materials Regulations\nindicate that safety matches or a lighter may be a carried\naboard aircraft by passengers for use by an individual when\nthese items are carried \"on one's person\". The terms\n\"carry-on baggage\" and \"checked baggage\" appear to be\nspecifically excluded as options for carrying these items.\nDue to the greater scrutiny of hazardous materials at\nairport passenger screening checkpoints, it has become\nnecessary to further delineate what constitutes \"on one's\nperson\" as opposed to \"carry-on baggage.\" Specifically in\nquestion are purses, fanny-packs, and other small carry-on\nitems traditionally used for carrying matches and lighters.\nWe request an interpretation from your office of the term\n\"on one's person\" as it is used in 49\nCER 175.10 (a) (10).\nPlease include how this term may or may not relate to\ncarry-on and checked baggage.\no prettishaughlin\nWilliam Wilkening\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\nPage 1 of 1\nINFOCNTR\nFrom: DStigerman@aol.com\nSent:\nWednesday, May 26, 2004 12:49 PM\"\nTo:\nINFOCNTR\nStevens\nSubject: Request for Letter of Clarification\n8175.10 g)E)\nMr. Edward T.
