No. 98-0057 Alexandria, Virginia 22314 Dear Mr. Bomgardner: Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, This responds to your facsimile transmittal to Alan I. Roberts, concerning shipping paper requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Your fax included a copy of a government bill of lading prepared by the Traffic Management Office at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada that a motor carrier had forwarded to you. Our review of the bill of lading identified several problems. Section 172.202 requires that the shipping description of a hazardous material on the shipping paper must include the proper shipping name for the material from the § 172.101 Hazardous Materials Table, the hazard class, the identification number, and the packing group, if any. This basic description must be shown on the shipping paper in sequence with no additional information interspersed. In addition, the total quantity for the hazardous material covered by one description must appear before or after the shipping paper entry. A shipper may not offer and a carrier may not accept or transport a hazardous material unless it is accompanied by a shipping paper prepared in accordance with the HMR. If the shipping paper is for noncompliance with § 172.202. If a motor carrier accepts or not properly prepared by the shipper, the shipper can be cited transports the shipment, the motor carrier can be cited for noncompliance with S 177.817. If a shipping paper discrepancy is found and corrected after the shipment has been completed, the shipper and carrier can still be cited for civil or criminal hazardous materials shipments penalties for these violations. Motor carriers may not accept shipping papers. accompanied by improperly prepared <<>> 2 An information copy of this letter and a copy of the subject Traffic Management Command so it can follow up with the Traffic government bill of lading is being forwarded to the Military Management Office at Nellis Air Force Base to assure that, in the future, hazardous materials shipments originating there are accompanied by shipping papers prepared in accordance with the questions, I hope this information is helpful. If you have further please do not hesitate • to contact this office. sincerely, Th Thomas G.
