Marie, Ontario P6A 2E5 Reference No. 23-0006 Dear Mr. Kyostia: This letter is in response to your January 20, 2023, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the transportation of lampricides by the U.S. Federal government and the government of Canada. Specifically, you ask whether liquid lampricide transported by foreign government employees, in foreign government vehicles, for foreign government purposes (i.e., not for the purpose of commerce) are subject to the HMR. The HMR do not apply to the transportation of hazardous materials in a motor vehicle, aircraft, or vessel operated by Federal, state, or local government solely for noncommercial Federal, state, or local government purposes (see § 171.1(d)(5)). It is the opinion of this Office that the HMR also do not apply to a motor vehicle, aircraft, or vessel operated solely for the noncommercial Sea Lamprey Control Program. I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance. Sincerely, T.

Good morning, Please find attached a written request for a Letter of Interpretation for the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada following a phone conversation I had with Josh on Wednesday, January 18, 2023. His opinion was that we meet the criteria for HMR exception #171.1, paragraph D, sub paragraph 5. The attached letter provides specific details on our operation and we have also attached PDF’s of all applicable hazardous materials that we transport. Thanks in advance, Paul Kyostia <<>> Fisheries and Oceans Canada Sea Lamprey Control Centre 1219 Queen Street East Sault Ste.

I had contacted the U.S. Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) at that time to seek clarification on the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) to the transportation of lampricides that are manufactured solely for use in controlling Sea Lamprey populations within the Great Lakes basin. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission was established by the governments of Canada and the United States through the 1954 Convention on Great Lakes Fisheries. The Great Lakes Fishery Commission facilitates successful cross-border collaboration that ensures the two nations, Great Lakes states, the Province of Ontario, Indigenous stakeholders, and other non- governmental entities work together to improve and perpetuate the Great Lakes fishery, including the management of the invasive Sea Lamprey. The Sea Lamprey Control Program is funded by the federal governments of both countries, and is deployed by staff of the US Fish and Wildlife Service and Fisheries and Oceans Canada employees, who act as agents to implement this initiative. The primary method for controlling Sea Lamprey populations in the Great Lakes is by lampricide application. The lampricides we apply are manufactured solely for the purpose of controlling Sea Lamprey. By mutual agreement, Fisheries and Oceans Canada is responsible for control of sea lamprey in New York State, and Fisheries and Oceans often collaborates with the US Fish & Wildlife Service in applying lampricides to tributaries in other Great Lakes state. All of the lampricides we apply and transport in the United States are registered to the US Fish and Wildlife Service and we do not transport any lampricides across the border. The liquid lampricide 3-Trifluoromethyl-4- nitro phenol (TFM) is classed as a Category 3 Flammable Liquid, Categories 3 and 4 Toxicity, Category 1 Corrosive and Category 1A Marine Pollutant. Please find attached Safety Data Sheets for the liquid lampricide TFM manufactured <<>> by Weylchem and Iofina. Iofina also manufactures a solid form of the lampricide 3- Trifluoromethyl-4- nitro phenol (TFM bar) which is a slow dissolve application method. I have attached the Safety Data Sheet for the TFM bar as well. The other formulation of lampricide is Niclosamide (commonly referred to as Bayluscide) which is manufactured by Coating Place Inc., Verona, WI, and comes in both a liquid and solid form. I have attached the Safety Data Sheets for Bayluscide 20% Emulsifiable Concentrate and Bayluscide 3.2% Granular for your review. Given that we are foreign government employees, transporting hazardous materials in foreign government vehicles for foreign government purposes, and do not transport these hazardous materials for the purpose of commerce, we are seeking a Letter of Interpretation based on HMR exception #171.1, paragraph D, sub paragraph 5. . We are requesting our own letter of interpretation as we are concerned that the existing Letter of Interpretation created in 2010 for Canada’s Department of National Defense (reference #10-0085) will not be sufficient for state inspection officers. Please reach out to me should you require any additional information. You will find my name, email and phone number below.
