No. 11-0252 Dear Ms. Zax: This responds to your October 7, 2011 request for clarification on shipping "UN 1162, Dimethydichlorosilane, 3(8), PG II", by aircraft under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CPR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if this material was intended to be forbidden for air transport under the HMR.

I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, please contact this office at (202) 366-8553. Sincerely, ~_s~~ Ben Supko Acting Chief, Standards Development Standards and Rulemaking Division#
