Specifically, you ask whether a multi-page shipping paper, consisting of a bill of lading and a.Ii attached shipping paper containing the hazardous material information, satisfies the shipping paper requirements. You state that you use an orange tab to identify the shipping paper containing the hazardous material information. Under the HMR, a shipping paper means a shipping order, bill of lading, manifest or other shipping document serving a similar purpose and prepared in accordance with 49 CFR part 1 72 subpart C. See § 171.8. In accordance with § 172.201 ( c ), a shipping paper may consist ofmore than one page, if each page is consecutively numbered and the first page bears a notation specifying the total number of pages included in the shipping paper. For example, "Page 1 of 4 pages." Section 172.201(a)(l) also prescribes that, ifa hazardous material and non-hazardous material are listed on the same shipping paper (single- or multi-page), the hazardous material information must either be listed first, entered in a contrasting color, or "identified by the entry of an 'X' placed before the basic shipping description .. .in a column captioned 'HM'.'' In addition, 49 CFR 177 .817 ( e )(1) requires that the driver and carrier clearly distinguish a hazardous material shipping paper if it is carried with other shipping papers, bills of lading or documents of any kind. The shipping paper containing hazardous materials must be distinguished by either distinctly "tabbing" the shipping paper or having it appear first. <<>> 2 It is the opinion of this Office that the multi-page shipping paper you provided satisfies the shipping paper requirements of the HMR. I hope this satisfies your inquiry. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions.

Mr. Croft spoke with Eamonn in the HMIC. Thanks, Shelby From: Cliff Croft [mailto:cliff.e.croft@qmail.com] Sent: Monday, September 21, 2015 4:47 PM To: PHMSA HM lnfoCenter Subject: Letter of interp request U.S. DOT PHMSA Office of Hazardous Materials Standards Attn: PHH-I 0 East Building 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE. Washington, DC 20590-0001 I would like to request a formal interpretation of the shipping paper requirement in 49CFR 172.200. When shipping ground by truck using a bill of lading does the bill of lading have to be the shipping paper or could a separate document meeting the requirements of 172.200 attached to the bill of lading satisfy the shipping paper requirements? If we attach a separate document to the bill of lading to serve as the hazardous material shipping paper and use an orange tab to identify this form as "Hazardous Materials" would it be acceptable for this hazmat addendum page be attached to the backside of the bill of lading? 1 <<>> Please review the attached documents and verify whether or not it meets all of the requirements to be considered an acceptable shipping paper.
