Billings to Mr. William P. Roman\nHazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) remains valid. You\n(Ref. No.: 97-1025) regarding the classification of ferrosilicon as non-regulated under the\nindicate that the ferrosilicon is manufactured by the same company, continues to contain\nbetween 30 and 90 percent silicon, and is identical in composition to the material\nidentified in Mr. Roman's February 18, 1997 request for interpretation.\nOn May 6, 1997 we published a final rule under Docket HM-215B (62 FR 24690) which\nmade editorial revisions to the classification criteria for Division 4.3 materials. The final\nrule removed the Division 4.3 classification testing requirements from Appendix E of the\nHMR and added a reference to the UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous\nGoods Manual of Tests and Criteria (UN Manual) to § 173.124(c). However, the\nrequirements contained in the UN Manual were and continue to be virtually identical to\nthose contained in the HMR at the time the letter in question was drafted. Therefore,\naccording to the information you provided, letter of interpretation 97-1025 remains valid.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.\nSincerely,\nChief, Standards Development\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n060187\n173.22\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nMILLER\nSupko\nAND COMPANY\n3173.22\nShipper's Responsibility\n06-0187\nMr. Ed Mazzullo\nAugust 8, 2006\nDirector D.O.T.

In as much as the letter is\ndated in 1997, several of our contractors are requesting an updated version.\nIn a recent telephone conversation with your Mr. Ben Supko, D.O.T.\nHazmat Standards, he suggested that I fax a request for this letter\nreconfirming the exemption. Since the Ferro Silicon is manufactured by the\nsame company and has undergone no other changes in composition, we are\nrequesting that an updated letter be forwarded to our attention.\nIf you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.\nSincerely,\nEd Koziorowski (Koz)\nMiller and Company\n847/696-2433 (telephone)\n847/696-2419 (fax)\nEkoziorowski@MillerandCo.com\nCC: Ben Supko - D.O.T.","truncated":false,"body_characters":2819}
