No. 12-0076\nDear Ms. Artime:\nThis responds to your March 20, 2012 request for clarification regarding the transportation\nby vessel of compressed oxygen under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49\nCFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask ifyou are required to package cylinders\ncontaining \"UN 1072, Oxygen, compressed, 2.2, 5.1\" in an outer package that meets the\n\"DOT31 FP\" specification.\nThe answer to your question is no. In accordance with§§ 173.302(t) and 173.304(t)\ncompressed oxygen and oxidizing gases transported by aircraft must meet certain\nrequirements. Specifically, these requirements include placing the cylinder in a rigid outer\npackaging meeting the requirements of§§ 173.302(t)(3) and 173.304(t)(3) respectively.\nThe requirements in§§ 173.302(t) and 173.304(t) are applicable to shipment of\ncompressed oxygen by aircraft, not by vesseL\nI hope this answers your inquiry. If you need further assistance, please contact this office\nat (202) 366-8553.\nSincerely,\nRobert Benedict\nChief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nDrakeford, Carolyn (PHMSA)\nFrom:\nSent:\nTo:\nCc:\nSubject: Edmonson, Eileen (PHMSA)\nTuesday, March 20, 2012 3:49PM\nLawson, Eleanor (PHMSA)\nDrakeford, Carolyn (PHMSA)\nRE: UN1072- Ocean transport clarification\nFrom: hazardous-control@hotmail.com [mailto:hazardous-control@hotmail.com] On Behalf Of HAZARDOUS CONTROL\nSent: Tuesday, March 20, 2012 3:29 PM\nTo: Lawson, Eleanor (PHMSA)\nSubject: UN1072- Ocean transport clarification\nGood day Eleanor,\nI hope everything is going well with you, again I need your help with some HAZMAT question.\nI need to ship by ocean in a full container 1 Box- UN1072, my question is:\nDo we need package in an outer package that meets the DOT31 FP specification?\nCylinders containing Oxygen, compressed, UN 1 072; Compressed gas, oxidizing, n.o.s.,\nUN 3156; Liquefied gas, oxidizing, n.o.s., UN 3157; Nitrogen trifluoride, UN 2451; or Nitrous\noxide, UN 1070 must be packaged as required by 49 CFR 173.302(f) and 173.304(±) and be\nplaced in a rigid outer packaging that meets specified flame penetration and them1al resistance\nrequirements as prescribed in Appendices D and E of 49 CFR Part 178.
