Specifically, you ask whether the subsidiary hazard class and the\npacking group must be included on the dangerous cargo manifest.\nThe answer is yes. Section 176.30(a)(5) requires the classification of the hazardous material,\nwhich includes the subsidiary hazard class and the packing group, to be noted on the\ndangerous cargo manifest. The dangerous cargo manifest assures that information about the\nhazardous materials on board a vessel is readily available in a single document. As specified\nin $ 176.30(b), the hazardous material information on the dangerous cargo manifest must be\nthe same as the information furnished by the shipper on the shipping order or other shipping\ndocument. The wording in 176.30(a) will be revised to provide clarification in an upcoming\nrulemaking.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact this office if you have additional questions.\nHattie L. Mitchell\nChief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nDrakeford, Carolyn <PHMSA>\nFrom:\nSent:\nTo:\nCc:\nSubject:\nKelley, Shane <PHMSA>\nThursday, February 19, 2009 12:58 PM\nDrakeford, Carolyn <PHMSA>\nMclntyre, Joan <PHMSA>\nFW: interpretation of 49 CFR $176.3 0\n4 172\n----- Original Message-----\nFrom: Henson, Kevin CTR\nSent: Thursday, February 19, 2009 9:18 AM\nTo: Bornhorst, Richard\nCc: Sorge, Randy MSTCS; Foss, George CTR; Jolly, Danica MSTl\nSubject: interpretation of 49 CFR\nI am requesting a formal interpretation of the requirement to show subsidiary hazard\nclass and packing group on the Dangerous Cargo Manifest (DCM).
