Box 16284\nDenver, CO 80216\nReference No. 14-0131\nDear Mr. Dhority:\nThis responds to your June 30, 2014 email and subsequent telephone conversation requesting\nclarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180)\napplicable to the emergency response telephone information provided on a shipping paper.\nYou have provided a shipping paper and ask if it is compliant with § 172.201(d) with regard\nto identifying the person (by name or contract number) who has a contractual agreement with\nthe service provider, as prescribed in in subpart G of part 172. You indicated during the\ntelephone conversation that the emergency response telephone number entered on the\nshipping paper is for a third party emergency response information provider (ERI provider).\nThe scenario on the provided shipping paper is restated as follows:\nThe shipping paper is a \"Poet Ethanol Products\" bill of lading. \"Yuma Ethanol, LLC\" is\nshown in the Consignor field at the top of the form; \"Ethanol Products, LLC\" is shown in the\nConsignee field; \"Phillips 66 Company\" is shown in the Ship To/Credit Inventory To field;\nand \"Valley Equipment Leasing Inc.\" is shown in the Carrier field. The emergency response\ntelephone number is clearly provided at the bottom of the shipping paper.\nIn accordance with subpart G of part 172 as specified in § 172.604(b)(2), the person who is\nregistered with the ERI provider must be identified by name, or contract number or other\nunique identifier assigned by the ERI provider, on the shipping paper immediately before,\nafter, above, or below the emergency response telephone number in a prominent, readily\nidentifiable, and clearly visible manner that allows the information to be easily and quickly\nfound, unless the name or identifier is entered elsewhere in a prominent manner as provided\nin § 172.604(b)(1). Paragraph (b)(1) authorizes the name of the person registered with the\nERI provider to be entered elsewhere on the shipping paper in a prominent, readily\nidentifiable, and clearly visible manner that allows the information to be easily and quickly\nfound.\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nProvided it is \"Yuma Ethanol, LLC that is registered with the ERI provider, the placement of\n\"Yuma Ethanol, LLC\" in the Consignor field at the top of the form is consistent with the\nrequirement in §172.604(b)(1) in that it is prominent, readily identifiable, and clearly visible\nin the first field on the form. In addition, by satisfying subpart G, the shipping paper you\nprovided would be in compliance with § 172.201(d). However, if one of the other parties\nindicated on the shipping paper is the person who is registered with the ERI provider, their\nname, or contract number or other unique identifier assigned by the ERI provider would need\nto be entered on the shipping paper immediately before, after, above, or below the emergency\nresponse telephone number.\nI trust this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to\ncontact this office.\nSincerely,\nshaneched\nShane C. Kelley\nActing International Standards Coordinator\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\nwiener\n172. 201 (d)\nDodd, Alice (PHMSA)\nEmergency Resporse\n14-0131\nFrom:\nINFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nSent:\nTo:\nMonday, June 30, 2014 2:45 PM\nSubject:\nHazmat Interps\nFW: 49 CFR 172.201(d)\nAttachments:\nPoet Ethanol Products Shipping Paper.pdf\nThis caller requested we submit this e-mail for a formal letter of interpretation.
