Specifically, you request classification of your material,\nknown by the trade name of “NS 30:7.”\nUnder § 173.22, it is the shipper’s responsibility to properly classify a hazardous material in\naccordance with classification criteria provided in the HMR prior to offering it for transportation\nto—or within—the United States. This Office does not normally perform this function. In\naccordance with Special Provision 150 of § 172.102, ammonium nitrate-based fertilizer must be\nclassified using the procedures of the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, Section 39,\n“Classification Procedure and Criteria Relating to Solid Ammonium Nitrate Based Fertilizers”\n(incorporated by reference, see § 171.7). If your material meets the composition and testing\nrequirements described in Section 39 for classification as UN 2067, a competent authority\napproval is not needed for transportation. If your material does not fulfill the requirements for\nUN 2067, you may need to obtain a competent authority approval prior to offering it for\ntransportation, in accordance with § 107.709.\n1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE\nWashington, DC 20590\nI hope this information is helpful.
