KY 42420 Dear Mr. Eargood: This is in response to your letter concerning the labeling requirements under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR: 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask whether the labels required by § 172.406 on DOT 106 or 110 multi-unit tank car tanks may be stenciled on each end of the tank car tank. In a conversation with a member of my light green respectively. You propose to paint the ends of the cylinders white and stencil staff, you stated that the cylinders for the chlorine and sulfur dioxide are painted gray and the labels in the white area. The answer is yes provided the stenciled labels fully conform to all requirements for durability, design, size and color specified in §§ 172.407, 172.416, and 172.442. I trust this satisfies your request. Sincerely, tatter. michel Hattie L.

STILL LOOSE TAGS IN TRANSIT. WE HAVE CHANGED TAG MATERIAL, GROMMETS AND WIRE, BUT OF THE CYLINDER INSTEAD OF A TAG? MY QUESTION IS, CAN A STENCIL BE USED ON EACH END WE ARE NOW USING. THE STENCIL WOULD BE THE SAME AS THE TAG (COPY ATTACHED) ELIMINATE THE DRIVER HAVING TO STOP ONTHE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A PERMANENT TAG ON EACH END OF THE CYLINDERS WOULD REPLACE TAGS THAT HAVE BLOWN OFF. - color of aye. THE COLOR OF THE CHLORINE UN1017 IS GRAY AND THE COLOR OF THE SULFUR DIOXIDE UN1079 IS LIGHT GREEN. TO COMPLY WITH THE CYLINDERS AND THE STENCIL WOULD BE PLACED OVER THE WHITE WITH THE REGULATIONS A WHITE AREA WOULD BE PAINTED ON EACH END OF THE BLACK ROLLED ON FORMING THE LABEL. YOUR RESPONSE.
