No. 03-0247\nMyers Industries, Inc.\n1293 South Main Street\nAkron, OH 44301\nDear Ms. Germano:\nThis is in response to your October 6, 2003 letter, concerning shipping papers under the\nHazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Your questions are\nparaphrased and answered as follows:\nQ1.\nMust a driver create a new shipping paper or revise an existing shipping paper to reflect\npartial delivery of a product? For example, a driver transports ten drums and only\ndelivers two. Must he change the shipping paper to indicate that he has only eight drums\non the transport vehicle?\nAl.\nThe answer is no. A driver is not required to update a shipping paper to reflect partial\ndelivery. However, if a driver picks up additional quantities of hazardous materials,\nwhich were not previously indicated on the shipping paper, the additional quantities must\nbe added it the total quantity on the vehicle exceeds that indicated on the shipping papers.\nQ2.\nIs a driver required to present a shipping paper to the consignee of a hazardous material\nupon deliver to the consignee's cite?\nA2.\nThe answer is no. Each person who offers a hazardous material for transportation shall\ndescribe that hazardous material on the shipping paper and present it to the carrier.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nTransportation Regulations Specialist\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n030247\n172,202\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nOCT 06 03 04:26 FR RISK-MGMT\n330 761 6247 TU 12023553012\nP.01\nBAHt\nFax Memo\n§172.202\nShipping Papers\nDATE: 10-6-03\n03-0247\nTO:\nEDWARD MAZZULLO, DIRECTOR OF HAZARDOUS\nMATERIALS STANDARDS\nFROM: BARB GERMANO\nRE:\nBills of Lading for Haz Mat shipments\nFAX:\n1-202-366-3012\nOur company has a delivery van which is stocked like a mini warehouse. He leaves\nour location in the morning with a bill of lading showing the van is stocked with 10\neach 5-gallon pails of Adhesives.\nThe driver stops at various customers throughout the day.\nAs he makes his stops at the various customers, he may sell 2 pails of the Adhesives\nthroughout the day.\nMy questions are:\n1. After selling 2 pails of the Adhesives, his original bill of lading will still show 10\npails, even though he has sold 2 pails. Does he have to complete a new bill of\nlading to show what is now in his van?\n2. When he sells the 2 pails of Adhesives to a customer, does he have to present the\ncustomer with a bill of lading showing he delivered the Adhesives?\nAlso, if we sell 6 different hazardous products, can we have a preprinted bill of\nlading showing all 6 products and fill in the appropriate line when we ship 1 of the\nproducts?\nCould you please respond in writing?\nThank you,\nBarb Germano\nPhone: 330-253-5592, Fax: 330-761-6247, E-Mail: bgermano@po.myersind.com\nFrom: Barb Germano, Myers Industries, 1293 S Main St, Akron, Oh 44301\n** TOTAL PAGE.01**","truncated":false,"body_characters":2956}
