Box 20067\nCheyenne, WY 82003\n1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE\nWashington, D.C. 20590\nReference No. 08-00 18\nDear Mr. Anderson:\nThis is in response to our January 15,2008 telephone conversation and your e-mail\nconcerning the entry \"Chlorodifluoromethane or Refrigerant Gas R 22,2.2 (non-flammable\ngas), UN 101 8\" appearing in the tj 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table (HMT; 172.101) of the\nHazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). The HMT lists \"Chlorodifluoromethane\" and\n\"Refrigerant Gas R 22\" in Roman type. You state your company receives the material from\ndifferent vendors in packages marked with either proper shipping name. You ask if your\ncompany's shipping paper may display both proper shipping names or if it must display only\none.\nWhen one proper shipping name includes alternative wording choices that appear in Roman\ntype in a sequence and are separated by the word \"or\" in italics, such as \"Articles, pressurized\npneumatic or hydraulic containing non-Jlammable gas,\" it is the intent of @ 172.10 1. (c)(2) that\nRoman type wording choice that appropriately describes the material, e.g., pneumatic or\nhydraulic, must be used. However, in your scenario, both Roman type names describe the\nsame material. Therefore, it would be permissible to show the proper shipping name as\n\"Chlorodifluoromethane or Refrigerant gas R22.\"\nI hope this satisfies your request. If you have any further questions, please contact this office\nat (202) 366-8553.\nSincerely,\nHattie L. Mitchell\nChief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nB\nPage 1 of 1\nDrakeford, Carolyn <PHMSA>\nFrom: Mitchell, Hattie cPHMSA>\nSent: Tuesday, January 15,2008 7:29 AM\nTo: Drakeford, Carolyn <PHMSA>\nSubject: FW: Proper shipping name description on a hazardous material shipping paper\nFrom: John Anderson (SAFECOR) [mailto: John.Anderson.SAFECOR@Airgas.com]\nSent: Monday, January 14,2008 3:35 PM\nTo: Mitchell, Hattie <PHMSA>\nSubject: Proper shipping name description on a hazardous material shipping paper\nGood afternoon,\nPer our phone conversation this afternoon, would the following description be acceptable.\nChlorodifluorornethane or Refrigerant Gas R22 2.2 UN1018\nOur question is can we both descriptions (Chlorodifluoromethane or Refrigerant Gas R22) or are we only\nallowed to use one?\nIf you would prefer this question as an actual letter instead of an email, please let me know.\nJohn Anderson\nAirgas-SAFECOR\nP. 0 .
