You are not required to supplement the proper shipping name\nmarking on a portable tank containing residue of a hazardous material with the words\n\"RESIDUE: Last Contained.\" The requirement provided in $ 172.203(e)(l) allows you to\ninclude the words \"RESIDUE: Last Contained\" on the shipping paper in association with the\nbasic description of the hazardous material previously contained in the package.\nI hope this information is helpful. If you have fiu-ther questions, please do not hesitate to contact\nthis office.\nSincerely,\nChief, Standards Development ' Office of Hazardous Materials Standards\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n17 November 2007\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\nPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety\nAttn: DHM-10, US Department of Transportation\n400 7th Street SW\nWashington, DC 20590-0001\nHyundai America Shipping Agency\n7701 Las Colinas Ridge, Suite '400\nIrving, Texas 75063\nre: 172.203(e)(l)and(2) - Shipping Paper Requirements\n172.326(a) - Marking of Portable Tank Requirements\nEncl: (1) Picture of Portable Tank\n1. Part 172.203(e) (1) addresses the requirement to supplement the\nshipping description on a shipping paper to include the words or phrase\n\"Residue Last Contained\" before the basic description. Part 172.336(a)\naddresses the requirement for a portable tank to be marked with the\nproper shipping name on two opposing sides.\n2. Hyundai America requests clarification concerning the marking of\nportable tanks. Please confirm that the Proper Shipping Name marking\non a portable tank does not need to supplemented with the words\n\"RESIDUE: LAST CONTAINED\". Specifically, a portable tank being\ntransported had previously been filled with UN3394 ORGANOMETALLIC\nSUBSTANCE, LIQUID, PYROPHORIC, WATER-REACTIVE (TRIETHYLAMUMINUM), CLASS\n4.2(4.3) PG I and only contained residue of that product. The tank was\nmarked on two opposing sides with the PSN - ORGANOMETALLIC SUBSTANCE,\nLIQUID, PYROPHORIC, WATER-REACTIVE and included the chemical\ndescription (TRIETHYLALUMINUM). Enclosure (1) is a picture of the tank\nmarkings.\n3. Supplementing Proper Shipping Names with the words or phase\n\"Residue: Last Contained\" is only a shipping papers requirement and has\nno impact on the marking of portable tanks.\n4. Please confirm if my interpretations above are correct.\nBest Regards,\nkerb ~iles\nManager, Hazardous Materials\nHyundai America Shipping Agency\n972-550-2645\na HYUNDAI AMERICA SHIPPING AGENCY, INC.\n7701 U S COLINAS RIDGE, SUITE 400, IRVING, TX 75063\nTEL: (972) 373-3 100 FAX: (972) 373-31 39\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\n3394\n* CHEMICAL EXTINGUISHER\nMADE IN USA\nTEA.
