SE\nWashington. D.C. 20590\nAPR 0 9 2012\nMr. Rick Araniz\nDirector of Operations\nCentral & Western Area\nBoyle Transportation\n15 Riverhurst Road\nBillerica, MA 01821-3425\nRef. No.: 12-0064\nDear Mr. Araniz:\nThis responds to your February 15, 2012letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the highway\ncompatibility and segregation requirements for Division 1.1 materials. Specifically, you ask\nwhether \"UN0065, Cord, detonating, flexible, 1.1D, PG II\" can be transported by highway\non the same motor vehicle as \"UN0048, Charges, demolition, 1.1D, PG II.\"\nThe answer is yes. As provided in § 177 .848( d), the highway segregation requirements\nindicate how hazardous materials must be stored, loaded, or transported in accordance with\nthe Segregation Table. A \"*\" in the Segregation Table indicates that segregation among\ndifferent Class 1 (explosive) materials is governed by the Compatibility Table in\nparagraph (f). Per the Compatibility Table for Class 1 (explosive) materials provided in\n§ 177 .848(f), these two hazardous materials are authorized to be transported on the same\nmotor vehicle. Additionally, per the definitions of\"Cord, detonating, flexible\" and\n\"Detonators\" in§ 173.59, UN0065 is not defined as a detonator and therefore is permitted to\nbe transported on the same motor vehicle with UN0048.\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\nEngrum, Helen (PHMSA)\nFrom:\nSent:\nTo:\nSubject:\nAttachments:\nRick Araniz [Rick.Araniz@BOYLETRANSPORT.COM]\nThursday, February 23, ·2012 12:54 PM\nEngrum, Helen (PHMSA)\nFW: Question on Class 1\n2008 11 17 PHMSA ltr & regs.pdf\n~ f7'3· 159\nE..x pI osi v~\nIt -ooeot.J\nGood Afternoon Ms. Engrum,\nJust following up to see if you got my last email.\nThank you\nRespectfully,\nRick Araniz\nDirector of Operations\nCentral & Western Area\nBoyle Transportation\n978.670.3404 Direct\n866.904.4717 Fax\n866.305.1134 Operations Fax\nOperations Center 800.343.2004\nrick.araniz@ boyletransport.com\nwww .boyletransport.com\nFrom: Rick Araniz\nSent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 5:17PM\nTo: 'helen.engrum@dot.gov'\nSubject: RE: Question on Class 1\nDear Ms. Engrum,\nThe interpretation letter enclosed states that \"Fuzes, detonating,\" for compatibility purposes should be considered\n\"detonators\"\nMy question is, based on this letter and section 177.835(g) would this also apply to \"Cord, detonating\" (UN0065,\nUN0289, UN0102, UN0290 and UN0104). Based on my reading of the regulation it would appear that you are not\nallowed to load \"Detonators\" with \"detonating cord Division 1.4 material\" but it does not state anything about\ndetonating cord that is 1.1 or 1.2.\nExample: Can the following be loaded together:\nUN0065, Cord, Detonating 1.1D with UN0048, Charges, Demolition, 1.1D.\nNormally compatibility group D would ride together, but if UN0065 is considered a \"detonator\" then it would not be\ncompatible?\nRespectfully,\nRick Araniz\nDirector of Operations\nCentral & Western Area\nBoyle Transportation\n978.670.3404 Direct\n866.904.4717 Fax\n866.305.1134 Operations Fax\nOperations Center 800.343.2004\n1\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\n' ·.\nrick.araniz@ boyletransport.com\nwww.boyletransport.com.\n,,\nFrom: helen.engru'm@dot.gov [mailto: helen.engrum@dot.gov]\nSent:.Tuesqay, February 14, 2012 5:07 PM\nTo: Rick Arallii \\\nSubject: RE: Question on Class 1\n: \\ \\ \\\nIt depends on the actual question.
