Croft Kajuligan Corporation 3 16 Crescent Place Geneva, IL 60 134 Ref. No.: 08-0253 Dear Mr. Croft: This responds to your October 3,2008 letter requesting clarification of the $ 175.10 exceptions in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171 -1 80). Specifically, you ask if $ 175.1 O(a)(l) applies to instant ice packs carried on board aircraft by sports teams for the treatment of injuries while enroute to their destination. According to your letter, the instant ice packs contain approximately 4-6 ounces of Ammonium nitrate, 5.1, UN 1942 with 4-6 ounces of water in a pack. These are shipped throughout the United States as Consumer Commodity, ORM-D material. The answer is yes. It is the opinion of this Office that the exceptions in $1 75.10(a)(l) apply to instant ice packs as described in your letter as non-radioactive medicinal and toilet articles for personal use. I hope this answers your inquiry. Sincerely, &L 32 Susan Gorsky Acting chief, Standards Development Office of Hazardous Materials Standards#
