Specifically, you ask for clarification on where\nthe name of the lading needs to be marked for cargo tanks to comply with the requirements\nof special provision B85 and if the lading name only needs to be marked once.\nThe HMR gives no specific location requirement for the marking of the name of the lading\nas required by special provision B85. Special provision B85 only requires a cargo tank to be\nmarked with the name of the lading in accordance with the requirements of § 173.302(b).\nSection 173.302(b) only addresses minimum size requirements for bulk package markings.\nMarking the lading name once is sufficient to comply with the requirements of special\nprovision B85.\nI trust this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to\ncontact this office.\nSincerely,\nUntil Babul for\nShane C. Kelley\nActing International Standards Coordinator\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nwebb\n172,302\nGoodall, Shante CTR (PHMSA)\nCoperal Mackerip\nFrom:\nCiccarone, Michael CTR (PHMSA)\nSent:\n14 - 0211\nThursday, October 30, 2014 12:39 PM\nTo:\nHazmat Interps\nSubject:\nFW: Special Provision B85 interpretation\nShante/Alice,\nPlease submit this for a formal letter of interpretation.

B85 states \"Cargo tanks must be marked with the name\nof the lading in accordance with the requirements of §172.302(b).\" Section 172.302(b) describes the size of the\nmarking only and there is no reference in Section 172 on where to lading name needs to be marked for cargo\ntanks. Does this mean that the lading name only needs to be marked once such as on the back end? Other bulk\npackagings do reference marking the shipping name, or key words of the shipping name, on opposite sides\n(Section 172.326(a) for portable tanks and Section 172.330(1)(ii) for rail cars). Section 172.328 referencing\ncargo tanks does not address where to mark the name of the lading only where to mark the identification\nnumber. Marking of the identification number on portable tanks and rail cars is consistent with what is required\nor cargo tanks. Does this then mean that the name of the lading should be marked on opposite sides, instead of\nust one side or end, to be consistent with the portable tank and rail car lading name marking'\nYour response is appreciated.\nRegards,\nPeroxyChem EHS and\nRalph Mikida\n215/299-6909\nRegulatory Manager\nwww.peroxychem.com\nThis message may contain information which is private, privileged or confidential and is intended solely for the use of\nthe individual or entity named in the message.
