Outsource Logistics, LLC — Hazardous Materials Safety Interpretation

Page 1U.S. Department of Transportation Pipel~ne and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 SEP 1 3 2018 James Harnage Safety and Regulatory Compliance Manager Outsource Logistics, LLC P.O. Box 2290 Valdosta, GA 31604 Reference No. 18-0056 Dear Mr. Harnage: This letter is in response to your April 10, 2018, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to shipping paper requirements. You state that Outsource Logistics, LLC transports containers of a product called Manzate Pro Stick domestically. The product is initially shipped to the United States by vessel as a Class 9 marine pollutant in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code. You further state that Manzate Pro Stick contains two different active components: Mancozeb and Ethylenethiourea. It is your understanding that based on the active components in Manzate Pro Stick and because of the weight (in lbs) of one of the product components, Manzate Pro Stick would meet the requirements of a limited quantity and therefore be excepted from shipping paper requirements found in § 173. l 55(b ). In addition, this Office obtained a Safety Data Sheet and test data from United Phosphorus Inc. (UPI) that describe Manzate Pro Stick as "UN3077, Environmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s. (Mancozeb), 9, PG III," for transportation purposes. According to § 171.4( c )( 1 ), except when all or part of the transportation is by vessel, the requirements of the HMR specific to marine pollutants do not apply to non-bulk packagings transported by motor vehicle, rail, or aircraft. Furthermore, in accordance with § 171.4( c )(2), single or combination packagings having a net mass per single or inner packaging of 5 kg (11 lbs) or less for solids are not subject to any other requirements of the HMR, provided the packagings meet the general requirements in§§ 173.24 and 173.24a and the marine pollutant is not a hazardous waste or a hazardous substance.#

Page 2Since the product arrives in the United States by vessel and assuming the final destination is the · port of entry (based on the originating shipping paper), this portion of the transportation has ended. Therefore, any further domestic transportation does not require a shipping paper for transportation by highway to Outsource Logistics, LLC's warehouse or to their customers, nor would it be subject to any other HMR requirements in accordance with § 171.4. I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, irk n Chief, Standards Development Branch Standards and Rulemaking Division#

Glenn/Dirk- not sure how to tag in the system for my review, but I'd like to make sure I see this response before it is finalized as it involves an enforcement action, and I have some background on the EHS provisions and our optional use of the international EHS criteria that may be helpful to the drafter.

Page 4This is the first attempt I have made in my career to reach out to the PHMSA for clarification. The addresses above are those located on the PHMSA website. I apologize for any short fall on presentation method or mode on my part. I read the interpretations of the PHMSA. I find them very useful and a blessing in my training of hazardous materials personnel. May I please ask for clarification on shipping paper as the regulations apply to Class 9 limited quantity. My attached letter is the result of a DOT inspection. If we are in violation we will correct. Thank you and have a blessed day.

We transport containers from port loaded and placarded with Class 9 marine pollutant products called Manzate Pro Stick, Packaging Group Ill, from port to inland to a warehouse. The product is cross docked and transported domestically. Containers are shipped to the U.S. over water, arrive placarded Class 9, and marine pollutant marked per IMDG code. The material's active ingredients are Mancozeb and Ethylenethiourea. Neither are listed on the Hazardous Material Table, or only one is not listed as a Hazardous Substance, or are not a severe marine pollutant, or the RQ does not meet or exceed the limit, or satisfies the exceptions in 172.200 paragraph (b) (1),(2),(3) by not being by any letter such as A or W. The material as such and by weight satisfies the requirements as a limited quantity, including the packaging having the orientation arrows and limited quantity Class 9 triangle square on point. Photographs of the product are included with this letter. 172.200 (b) ( 1) (2) Subpart C regarding shipping papers says, wThis subpart does not apply to any material, other than a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or marine pollutant that is identified by the letter A in column 1 of the 172.101 Table, except when the material is offered or intended for transportation by air; or identified by the letter Win column 1 of the 172. 101 Table, except when the material is offered or intended for transportation by water. w The product is not offered to Outsource Logistics for transportation by air or water. Neither letters appear in column 1. Mancozeb is not listed as a Hazardous Substance. Ethylenethiourea is listed on the Hazardous Substance Table with an RQ of 10. The ethylenethiourea in Manzate Pro Stick has a trace amount of 0.1 which does not meet or exceed the RQ. It is my understanding that this trace amount satisfies the requirements of 172.200 (b) excepting it from shipping paper requirements. 1#

Page 6The packaging shows the orientation arrows characteristic of limited quantity packaging. A single package weighs 6 pounds, 5 pounds less than the limit of 11 pounds for limited quantity. Due to the unique nature of this aspect of this industry at ports, hundreds of containers of limited quantity products and Class 9 products exit the ports daily transported by hundreds of carriers with only an interchange ticket and no shipping paper. Do I understand the regulations correctly pertaining to Limited Quantities that as such, this material does not require a shipping paper? ~~ Jim Harnage Safety & Regulatory Compliance Manager Outsource Logistics LLC P. 0.
