Bugg:\nThis responds to your electronic mail requesting clarification under the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) of the marking requirements for\ncertain bulk packagings. Specifically, you ask whether a bulk packaging that is dual\nmarked as a DOT specification intermediate bulk container (IBC) and a DOT\nspecification portable tank is required to be marked with the identification number as\nrequired in § 172.331 for IBCs, or the proper shipping name, the name of the owner or\nlessee, and the identification number as required in § 172.326 for portable tanks.\nAn IBC must be marked with the identification number in accordance with § 172.331 and\na portable tank must be marked with the proper shipping name, the name of the owner or\nlessee, and the identification number in accordance with § 172.326. Therefore, to satisfy\nthe marking requirements, the dual-marked bulk packaging must be marked with the\nproper shipping name, the name of the owner or lessee, and the identification number as\nspecified in § 172.326. Also, the bulk packaging must conform to all applicable\nspecification requirerents and be authorized for the hazardous material being\ntransported.\nI hope this information is helpful. If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate\nto contact us.\nSincerely,\nHathe z Michell\nHattie L.
