Ten Eyck\nDirector, Technical Services\nTEN-E Packaging Services, Inc.\n1666 County Road 74\nNewport, MN 55055\nRef. No. 10-0092\nDear Mr. Ten Eyck:\nThis responds to your letter dated, requesting clarification of the inner packaging quantity\nlimitations for nitric acid under § 173. 158(b)(2), (d)(I), (d)(2), (e), (t)(2), (t)(3), (h)(l) and (h)(2)\nof the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask\nwhether the \"not over 2.5 L\" inner packaging quantity limitation as specified in the\nabove referenced paragraphs of the § 173.158 packaging instruction for nitric acid refers to\noverflow capacity or nominal capacity while recognizing the latter to infer a certain amount of\noutage manufactured into the packaging when necessary.\nNitric acid of 70% or less concentration offered for transport by rail, highway, or water may be\npackaged in certain combination packagings with plastic, glass, or earthenware inner packagings\nnot over 2.5 L capacity each. The term \"not over\" as used in § 173.158 means that you may not\nuse an inner packaging with a maximum capacity greater than 2.5 L (i.e., overflow capacity).\nI trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nT. Glenn Foster\nChief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nTEl\nsun KG THE 5TH HUBR 0\nApril 21, 2010\nSusan Gorsky\nU.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION\nPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards, PHH-10\n1200 New Jersey Avenue\nSE Building, 2nd Floor\nWashington, DC 20590\nDear Susan:\nTEN-E Packaging Services, Inc. is writing to request a clarification concerning maximum capacity for\n2.5 liter glass and plastic bottles referenced in Sections 173.158(b)(2), (d)(1), (d)(2),(e), (f)(2), (f)(3) ,\n(h)(1) and (h)(2) of Title 49 CFR.
