Specifically, you ask\nwhether the HMR authorize the portable tank described in your email for the transportation of\n“UN 2213, Paraformaldehyde, 4.1, PG III.”\nThe answer is yes. The hazardous material description “UN 2213, Paraformaldehyde, 4.1, PG\nIII,” is assigned bulk special provisions T1 and TP33 in § 172.101 of the Hazardous Materials\nTable (HMT). Although special provision T3 is not assigned to “UN 2213, Paraformaldehyde,\n4.1, PG III,” the HMR authorize the use of a UN portable tank conforming to the alternative tank\ninstructions listed in § 172.102(c)(7)(v). If your new UN portable tank meets the requirements\nof § 172.102(c)(7)(v), then the new UN portable tank could transport “UN 2213,\nParaformaldehyde, 4.1, PG III.” In addition, when imported by vessel, and the IMDG Code is\nutilized, portable tanks with “higher test pressures, greater shell thicknesses, more stringent\nbottom opening and pressure-relief device arrangements” are authorized. See IMDG Code\n4.2.5.2.5.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nSteven W. Andrews Jr.\nActing Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nPollack\n23-0101\nFrom: INFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nTo: Dodd, Alice (PHMSA)\nCc: Hazmat Interps\nSubject: FW: Letter of interpretation request for UN portable Silo Isotank Container\nDate: Friday, November 17, 2023 3:37:24 PM\nAttachments: image002.png\nSpecification_GA drawing of N11065579.pdf\n21-PARAFORMALDEHYDE USA GHS SDS VITUSA 2020-09-17.docx\nHi Alice,\nPlease see the below and attached interpretation request.\nLet me know if you have any questions on anything.\nRegards,\n-Breanna\nFrom: Nicole Enright <nenright@nrsgr.com>\nSent: Thursday, November 16, 2023 4:40 PM\nTo: INFOCNTR (PHMSA) <INFOCNTR.INFOCNTR@dot.gov>\nCc: Jacques Corblin <corblin@nrsgr.com>\nSubject: Letter of interpretation request for UN portable Silo Isotank Container\nCAUTION: This email originated from outside of the Department of Transportation (DOT).

Per your instructions, I’m attaching the general arrangement drawing and SDS of the product we will\nbe importing in the tank container. As I mentioned, the UN portable tank is being built in accordance with IMDG and ADR/RID Portable Tank instruction: T3 as per attached specification. The tank will\nhave a current periodic inspection certificate before it is shipped. I’ve also attached a copy of the SDS for the product we will be importing to the US.
