No. 11-0015\nDear Mr. Olson:\nThis responds to your letter requesting clarification ofthe Hazardous Materials\nRegulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the transportation of nurse tanks.\nSpecifically, you ask whether permitting or approval is required under the HMR for three\nnurse tanks secured and transported on one trailer that is pulled by a pickup truck or semitrailer\noperated by a private motor carrier.\nProvided the requirements for nurse tanks specified in § 173.315(m) are met, multiple\nnurse tanks mounted and secured to a farm wagon that are intended tor use in direct\nsupport of agricultural operations do not require additional permitting or approval from\nthis Office.\nI hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please contact this office.\nSincerely,\nT. Glenn Foster\nChief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n~\n~ +1\\..1 «i'- 'II\nSteven~\n9'7.3. 315 [fh)\nEdward T.
