No. 05-0167\nHazardous Materials Specialist\nBoasso America Corporation\n100 Intermodal Drive\nChalmette, Louisiana\n70043\nDear Mr. Ortego:\nThis responds to your June 24, 2005 letter requesting clarification on shipping hazardous\nmaterials in a portable tank as a bulk export shipment from the port of New Orleans\nunder the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically,\nyou ask for clarification on the proper shipping name and hazard class for your material,\nas well as the required markings and placarding for the portable tank.\nAccording to your letter, you are shipping a bulk quantity of a material that meets the\ndefining criteria for a combustible liquid, UN 1993, as well as an environmentally\nhazardous substance and a marine pollutant for alkyl-(C3-C5)-benzene and solvent\nnaptha. You also state that the portable tank is currently being marked and placarded as a\nClass 9, Marine Pollutant, and bears no markings as a Combustible liquid, NA 1993.\nIn accordance with § 173.22, it is the shipper's responsibility to properly class and\ndescribe a hazardous material for transportation. This Office does not perform that\nfunction. However, it is the opinion of this Office that the proper shipping description for\nyour material would be 'Combustible liquid, n.o.s., NA 1993' under the HMR. It is also\nthe opinion of this Office that in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous\nGoods (IMDG) Code, the proper shipping description would be \"Environmentally\nazardous substances, liquid, n.o.s., 9, UN 3082, PG IIl'. Both entries require a technica\name. If a reportable quantity of a listed environmentally hazardous substance i\nthe package.\nFor domestic transportation, the portable tank must be marked in accordance with\n58172302, 13220) d the Ho The porsche tank mant be placate the MIDG\n173.22\n050167\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\naccordance with § 172.504. Placarding is not required for Class 9 materials when\nshipped domestically.\nI hope this answers your inquiry.\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\nChief, Standards Development\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\nBoothe\n$173.22\nJune 24, 2005\nShipper's Responsibility\nMr. Edward T.
