Your understanding is that the compound resin\nproduct in a felt/glass constructed liner should be classified as \"Resin Solution, UN 1866,\nClass 3, PG III.\"\nAs specified in§ 173.22 of the HMR, a shipper is responsible for properly classifying,\npackaging, marking, and labeling a hazardous material for transportation in commerce. This\nOffice does not typically perform this function. The hazard class of a material is determined\nbased on the chemical composition and hazard properties of the material. If your material\nmeets the definition of any of the hazard classes or is a hazardous substance, a marine\npollutant or a hazardous waste, it is regulated under the HMR. Therefore, if the material you\nhave described remains in its liquid form, it should continue to be classified as a \"Resin\nSolution, UN 1866, Class 3, PG III.\"\nI hope 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\nPhone: 860-664-3951\nCell: 203-260-8888\nFax: 860-664-4135\nNovember29, 2011\nInformatio-Q Center\nU.S. DOTIPHMSA(PHH;IO) ,'\n1200New Jersey Aven,u~: SEEast Building,, 2nd Floor\nW aslrington, DC 20590 ,'\nRE: Request for FonnaL Letter ofinterpretation\nDear Neil,\nI spoke with you yesterday in regards to Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) manufacturer and\ninterpretation regardinf? tFStnsport requirements.
