No.: 10-0226\nDear Mr. Fischer:\nThis responds to your October 20, 20 10 email requesting clarification ofthe Hazardous Materials\nRegulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You refer to a letter issued by this office to DG Advisor\n(Reference No. 10-0029) pertaining to the changes to § 172.604 regarding the information that is\nrequired to accompany the emergency response telephone number. Specifically, in the sample\nshipping papers that you provided you pose two scenarios and ask if they meet the requirement in\n§ 172.604(b )(1) for the name ofthe person identified with the emergency response telephone number\nto be entered on the shipping paper in a prominent, readily identifiable, and clearly visible manner\nthat allows the information to be easily and quickly found.\nYour scenarios are restated as follows:\nScenario 1 .. Acme Inc is registered with the ERI provider. \"Acme Inc\" is shown in the\nShipper/Consignor/Sender Box of the standard IMO Dangerous Goods Declaration. \"Acme Inc\" is\nalso shown in the Name ofCompany Preparing Note Box. The only other company name on the\nshipping paper is listed in the Consignee Box. The ERI Provider name and phone number is in the\nAdditional Handling Information Box.\nScenario 2. Acme Inc is registered with the ERI provider. \"Acme Inc\" is shown in the\nShipper/Consignor/Sender Box ofthe standard IMO Dangerous Goods Declaration. \"Haz Experts\nInc.\" is shown in the Name of Company Preparing Note Box. The only other company name on the\nshipping paper is listed in the Consignee Box. The ERI Provider name and phone number is in the\nAdditional Handling Information Box.\nAs shown in the two examples you provided, the placement of\"Acme Inc\" on the standard IMO\nDangerous Goods Declaration is consistent with the requirement in § 172.604(b)(1) in that it is\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nprominent, readily identifiable, and clearly visible in the first box on the form.\nI trust this satisfies your inquiry. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nsinB~5~\nBen Supko\nActing Chief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\n_D_~_k_e_fu_r_d_,C_a_r_o~I\n__~..\",One\n________________________________~~~~~~~\nFrom: INFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nSent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 1 :20 PM\nTo: Drakeford, Carolyn (PHMSA)\nCc: DerKinderen, Dirk (PHMSA)\nSubject: FW: Interpretation Request 172.604\nHi Carolyn,\nWe received the following request for a formal letter of interpretation at the Info\nCenter.\nThanks,\nVictoria Lehman\n202-366-1035\nFrom: Eric Fischer [mailto:eric.fischer@vanguardlogistics.com]\nSent: Wednesday, October 20, 2010 12:03 PM\nTo: INFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nSubject: Interpretation Request 172.604\nTo whom it may concern,\nAs a follow up to your interpretation # 10-0029, I would like to get clarification on 172.604 and how it applies to companies\nwho register with an Emergency Response Information (ERI) provider but do not put their name, contract number or\nunique identifier \"immediately before, after, above, or below the emergency response telephone number.\" For this case\n172.604 states the person who is registered with the ERI Provider must be entered elsewhere on the shipping paper in \"a\nprominent, readily identifiable, and clearly visible manner that allows the information to be easily and quickly found.\"\nPlease advise if each of the following examples are compliant with the \"prominent, readily identifiable, and clearly visible\nmanner that allows the information to be easily and quickly found\" requirement.\nExample 1: Acme Inc is registered with the ERI Provider. \"Acme Inc\" is shown in the Shipper/Consignor/Sender Box of\nthe standard IMO Dangerous Goods Declaration. \"Acme Inc\" is also shown in the Name of Company Preparing Note\nBox. The only other company name on the shipping paper is listed in the Consignee Box.
