Box 2290\nValdosta, GA 31604\nReference No. 18-0056\nDear Mr. Harnage:\nThis letter is in response to your April 10, 2018, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous\nMaterials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to shipping paper requirements.\nYou state that Outsource Logistics, LLC transports containers of a product called Manzate Pro\nStick domestically. The product is initially shipped to the United States by vessel as a Class 9\nmarine pollutant in accordance with the International Maritime Dangerous Goods (IMDG) Code.\nYou further state that Manzate Pro Stick contains two different active components: Mancozeb\nand Ethylenethiourea. It is your understanding that based on the active components in Manzate\nPro Stick and because of the weight (in lbs) of one of the product components, Manzate Pro\nStick would meet the requirements of a limited quantity and therefore be excepted from shipping\npaper requirements found in § 173. l 55(b ). In addition, this Office obtained a Safety Data Sheet\nand test data from United Phosphorus Inc. (UPI) that describe Manzate Pro Stick as \"UN3077,\nEnvironmentally hazardous substance, solid, n.o.s. (Mancozeb), 9, PG III,\" for transportation\npurposes.\nAccording to § 171.4( c )( 1 ), except when all or part of the transportation is by vessel, the\nrequirements of the HMR specific to marine pollutants do not apply to non-bulk packagings\ntransported by motor vehicle, rail, or aircraft. Furthermore, in accordance with § 171.4( c )(2),\nsingle or combination packagings having a net mass per single or inner packaging of 5 kg\n(11 lbs) or less for solids are not subject to any other requirements of the HMR, provided the\npackagings meet the general requirements in§§ 173.24 and 173.24a and the marine pollutant is\nnot a hazardous waste or a hazardous substance.\n\n<<>>\n\nSince the product arrives in the United States by vessel and assuming the final destination is the ·\nport of entry (based on the originating shipping paper), this portion of the transportation has\nended. Therefore, any further domestic transportation does not require a shipping paper for\ntransportation by highway to Outsource Logistics, LLC's warehouse or to their customers, nor\nwould it be subject to any other HMR requirements in accordance with § 171.4.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nirk n\nChief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<>>\n\nJanuary, lkeya CTR (PHMSA)\nFrom:\nSent:\nTo:\nCc:\nSubject:\nAttachments: Kelley, Shane (PHMSA)\nTuesday, April 10, 2018 4:13 PM\nJanuary, Ikeya CTR (PHMSA)\nNickels, Matthew (PHMSA); Foster, Glenn (PHMSA}; DerKinderen, Dirk (PHMSA)\nFW: Shipping Paper Interpretation Request\nShipping Paper Limited Quantity PHMSA Request For Clarification.rtf; Shipping Paper\nLimited Quantity PHMSA Request For Clarification.pdf\nHi lkeya\nCould you kindly log this in as a request for interpretation?\nGlenn/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\nfinalized as it involves an enforcement action, and I have some background on the EHS provisions and our optional use\nof the international EHS criteria that may be helpful to the drafter.\nThanks\nShane\nFrom: training (PHMSA)\nSent: Tuesday, April 10, 2018 12:46 PM\nTo: Kelley, Shane (PHMSA) \nSubject: FW: Shipping Paper Interpretation Request\nShane,\nPlease see the email below for an interpretation.\nKenetha L.

The addresses above are\nthose located on the PHMSA website. I apologize for any short fall on presentation method or mode on my part. I read\nthe interpretations of the PHMSA. I find them very useful and a blessing in my training of hazardous materials personnel.\nMay I please ask for clarification on shipping paper as the regulations apply to Class 9 limited quantity.

We transport containers\nfrom port loaded and placarded with Class 9 marine pollutant products called Manzate Pro Stick,\nPackaging Group Ill, from port to inland to a warehouse. The product is cross docked and transported\ndomestically. Containers are shipped to the U.S. over water, arrive placarded Class 9, and marine pollutant\nmarked per IMDG code.\nThe material's active ingredients are Mancozeb and Ethylenethiourea. Neither are listed on the Hazardous\nMaterial Table, or only one is not listed as a Hazardous Substance, or are not a severe marine pollutant, or\nthe RQ does not meet or exceed the limit, or satisfies the exceptions in 172.200 paragraph (b) (1),(2),(3)\nby not being by any letter such as A or W. The material as such and by weight satisfies the requirements\nas a limited quantity, including the packaging having the orientation arrows and limited quantity Class 9\ntriangle square on point. Photographs of the product are included with this letter.\n172.200 (b) ( 1) (2) Subpart C regarding shipping papers says, wThis subpart does not apply to any\nmaterial, other than a hazardous substance, hazardous waste, or marine pollutant that is identified by the\nletter A in column 1 of the 172.101 Table, except when the material is offered or intended for transportation\nby air; or identified by the letter Win column 1 of the 172. 101 Table, except when the material is offered or\nintended for transportation by water. w The product is not offered to Outsource Logistics for transportation\nby air or water. Neither letters appear in column 1. Mancozeb is not listed as a Hazardous Substance.\nEthylenethiourea is listed on the Hazardous Substance Table with an RQ of 10. The ethylenethiourea in\nManzate Pro Stick has a trace amount of 0.1 which does not meet or exceed the RQ. It is my\nunderstanding that this trace amount satisfies the requirements of 172.200 (b) excepting it from shipping\npaper requirements.\n1\n\n<<>>\n\nThe packaging shows the orientation arrows characteristic of limited quantity packaging. A single package\nweighs 6 pounds, 5 pounds less than the limit of 11 pounds for limited quantity.\nDue to the unique nature of this aspect of this industry at ports, hundreds of containers of limited quantity\nproducts and Class 9 products exit the ports daily transported by hundreds of carriers with only an\ninterchange ticket and no shipping paper. Do I understand the regulations correctly pertaining to Limited\nQuantities that as such, this material does not require a shipping paper?\n~~\nJim Harnage Safety & Regulatory Compliance Manager\nOutsource Logistics LLC\nP. 0.
