Box 20\nHenderson, KY 42420\n1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE\nWashington, D.C. 20590\nReference No. 08-0 108\nDear Mr. Eargood:\nThis is response to your April 1 1,2008 letter concerning the Hazardous Materials Table\n($ 172.101) entry for \"UN 1791, Hypochlorite solutions, 8 (corrosive), PG 11\" in the\nOctober 1,2007 edition of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts\n171 -1 80). You asked if the \"PG 111\" designation present in earlier editions of the HMR had\nbeen inadvertently deleted.\nThe answer is yes. The PG I11 entry for the proper shipping name hypochlorite solutions was\ninadvertently removed when this entry was revised in a December 29,2006 final rulemaking\npublished under Docket No. PHMSA-06-25476 (HM-2151; 71 FR 78596, 78622). This error\nwill be corrected in a future rulemaking. In the interim, the PG I11 entry may continue to be\nused for hypochlorite solutions that meet the defining criteria for a PG I11 Class 8 liquid\nprescribed in $ 173.137.\nThank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I hope this information is helpful.\nHattie L.
