Dear Mr. Hartman:
This is in response to your letter of June 15, 1998, regarding
general marking requirements for non-bulk packages under the
Hazardous Materials Regulations
Editorial revisions under HM-206 were published in the Federal
: (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Register on April 1, 1998, (63 FR 16070). Specifically you ask
what the meaning of "other material, hazardous or otherwise" is,
as stated in $ 172.301 (a) (3) (iv).
The intention behind the term "other material, hazardous or
otherwise" is that it. is any other material transported as a
commodity in commerce.
I hope this answers your guestions.
If we can be of further
assistance, please do not hesitate
to contact us.
Sincerely,
Salon 7 Mozalle

Materials Standards
