Kurtz\nRegulations and Packaging Manager\nArkema Inc.\n900 First Avenue\nKing of Prussia, PA 19406\nReference No. 23-0028\nDear Mrs. Kurtz:\nThis letter is in response to your March 21, 2023, email and subsequent email conversation\nrequesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180)\napplicable to requirements for the highway transportation of a Division 5.2 organic peroxide with\na Class 1 subsidiary hazard. Specifically, you ask whether a highway motor carrier that\ntransports “UN3102, Organic peroxide type B, solid (Dibenzoyl Peroxide, >51-100%), 5.2, (1)”\nis required to obtain a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP) from the Federal Motor\nCarrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).\nThe answer is no, based on this Office’s understanding of the FMCSA’s relevant requirements in\nthe Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations—see 49 CFR 385.403. UN3102 has a primary\nhazard class of “5.2” (organice peroxide) as listed in Column 3 of the § 172.101 Hazardous\nMaterials Table, along with label codes indicating “5.2, 1” in Column 6. The first code is\nindicative of the primary hazard and additional codes are indicative of subsidiary hazards. The\nreference to Division 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, or 1.5 material in the applicability of the HMSP refers to the\nprimary hazard class, not subsidiary hazard(s). UN3102 is not defined as a Class 1 explosive and\ndoes not have a division assignment, therefore the HMSP requirements do not apply .\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nDirk Der Kinderen\nChief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n2 23-0028 8 Patrick\nMarch 21, 2023\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\nPipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration\nAttn: PHH-10\nU.S. Department of Transportation\nEast Building, 1200 New Jersey, SE\nWashington, D.C. 20590-0001\nRe: Luperox A98 and classification; Citations: 49CFR §173.225(c), §172.411,\n§172.505, §385.403(b) and UN Manual of Test Criteria Parts I and II\nDear Mr. Kelley,\nArkema Inc. ships our Luperox ®A98 as UN3102, Organic Peroxide Type B Solid\n(Dibenzoyl Peroxide, >51-100%), 5.2, (1) as defined in 49CFR §173.225 (c). SDS\nattached.\nUN3102 materials are classified as organic peroxides 5.2 based on testing criteria in the\nUN Manual of Test Criteria in Part II. These materials are classified as subsidiary\nexplosives (1) because they do not fit the criteria as primary explosives with division\nnumbers 1.1 – 1.6 as defined in the UN Manual of Test Criteria in Part I.\nThe Federal Motor Carrier and Safety Administration requires a Hazardous Materials\nSafety Permit for Explosives 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.5 per §385.403 (b). After review of the\nreferenced section Arkema Inc. determined we do not believe we need a FMCSA\nHMSP because Luperox ®A98 is an organic peroxide. With the assistance of Charles\nOdum, Sr. SISP Coordinator, James Simmons, Hazmat Program Manager, FMCSA\nemailed us and stated that since our material is a 5.2 it is not required to have the\nFMCSA’s HMSP. Email attached.\nWe sent the email and conferenced with one of our carriers. Unfortunately, they stated\nthis is a gray area and they require more than an email and would like an interpretation\nfrom PHMSA.\nArkema Inc.\n900 First Avenue\nKing of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406\n610-878-6500\nwww.arkema.com\n\n<<<PAGE 3>>>\n\nCould you please confirm Arkema Inc.’s and James Simmons interpretation of the\nhazmat regulations and thus, the HMSP is not needed for a material classified as a 5.2,\n(1).\nNote: The subsidiary explosive label exhibited in §172.411 does not contain a division\nnumber. Also, per §172.505 placards are not required for subsidiary explosive\nmaterials.\nSincerely,\nChristina M Kurtz\nChristina M Kurtz\nManager – Regulations and Packaging\nArkema Inc.\nAttached: SDS for Luperox A98\nEmail from PHMSA with FMCSA statement\nArkema Inc.\n900 First Avenue\nKing of Prussia, Pennsylvania 19406\n610-878-6500\nwww.arkema.com\n\n<<<PAGE 4>>>\n\nSAFETY DATA SHEET\nLUPEROX® A98\n1.

Dust explosion\ncharacteristics vary with the particle size, particle shape, moisture content, contaminants, and other variables.\nNote: Check that all equipment is properly grounded and installed to satisfy electrical classification requirements. As\nwith any dry material, pouring this material or allowing it to free-fall or to be conveyed through chutes or pipes can\naccumulate and generate electrostatic sparks, potentially causing ignition of the material itself, or of any flammable\nmaterials which may come into contact with the material or its container.\n6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES\nPersonal precautions, Emergency procedures, Methods and materials for containment/clean-up:\nPrevent further leakage or spillage if you can do so without risk. Evacuate area of all unnecessary personnel.\nVentilate the area. Eliminate all ignition sources. Avoid dust formation and dispersal of dust in the air. Wet down\n(dampen) the spilled material with water. Sweep or scoop up using non-sparking tools and place into suitable\nproperly labeled containers for prompt disposal. The sweepings should be wetted down further with water. Avoid\ndispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Implement workplace\npractices such that dusts are not allowed to accumulate on surfaces, as these may form an explosive mixture if they\nare released into the atmosphere in sufficient concentration.

EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION\nAirborne Exposure Guidelines:\nDibenzoyl peroxide (94-36-0)\nUS. ACGIH Threshold Limit Values\nTime weighted average 5 mg/m3\nUS. OSHA Table Z-1 Limits for Air Contaminants (29 CFR 1910.1000)\nPEL: 5 mg/m3\nOnly those components with exposure limits are printed in this section. Limits with skin contact designation above have skin contact\neffect. Air sampling alone is insufficient to accurately quantitate exposure. Measures to prevent significant cutaneous absorption\nmay be required. Limits with a sensitizer designation above mean that exposure to this material may cause allergic reactions.\nEngineering controls:\nInvestigate engineering techniques to reduce exposures below airborne exposure limits or to otherwise reduce\nexposures. Provide ventilation if necessary to minimize exposures or to control exposure levels to below\nairborne exposure limits (if applicable see above).If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at\nsources of air contamination such as open process equipment.\nCheck that all dust control equipment such as local exhaust ventilation, material transport systems, and air-\nmaterial separation devices involved in handling this product contain explosion relief vents or an explosion\nsuppression system or an oxygen-deficient environment.Isolation devices may be appropriate to prevent\npropagation from one unit to another.Ensure that dust-handling systems are designed in a manner to prevent\nthe escape of dust into the work area (i.e., there is no leakage from the equipment).Consult ACGIH ventilation\nmanual, NFPA Standard 91 and NFPA Standard 654 for design of exhaust system and safe handling.\nRespiratory protection:\nAvoid breathing dust. Where airborne exposure is likely or airborne exposure limits are exceeded (if applicable,\nsee above), use NIOSH approved respiratory protection equipment appropriate to the material and/or its\nProduct code: 011000 Version 3.2 Issued on: 11/25/2019 Page: 7 / 15\nPage 7/16\nQuick-FDS [18958-32846-04982-012167] - 2019-11-26 - 09:07:26\nQuick-FDS [20094-67238-06155-340001] - 2023-01-05 - 18:40:38\n\n<<<PAGE 11>>>\n\nSAFETY DATA SHEET\nLUPEROX® A98\ncomponents.

Consult respirator manufacturer to determine appropriate type equipment for a given\napplication. Observe respirator use limitations specified by NIOSH or the manufacturer. For emergency and\nother conditions where there may be a potential for significant exposure or where exposure limit may be\nsignificantly exceeded, use an approved full face positive-pressure, self-contained breathing apparatus or\npositive-pressure airline with auxiliary self-contained air supply. Respiratory protection programs must comply\nwith 29 CFR § 1910.134.\nSkin protection:\nWear appropriate chemical resistant protective clothing and chemical resistant gloves to prevent skin contact.\nConsult glove manufacturer to determine appropriate type glove material for given application. Rinse\nimmediately if skin is contaminated. Wash contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse.\nProvide a safety shower at any location where skin contact can occur.
