No. 98-0280\nField Environmental Specialist\nExxon Company, U.S.A.\n1 Avenue J\nBayonne, NJ\n07002\nDear Mr. Casbill:\nThis is in reference to your inquiry concerning the\npollutants under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49\nrequirements for non-bulk packagings containing marine\nCFR Parts 171-180).\nSpecifically, you state that the material, an aviation\nhydraulic fluid, contains triaryl phosphate, isopropylated in a\nquantity that meets the definition in $ 171.8 of a marine\npollutant when transported by vessel. The material is packaged\nin quantities ranging from one quart cans to 55 gallon drums.\nYou ask if it is acceptable to describe and mark the packages\nin accordance with the marine pollutant requirements and to\nmark the packages with a notation stating that they are not\nregulated by highway, rail or air.\nThe answer is yes.\ndo so.\nYou may want to consider revising the wording of your\nthe HMR; \"Non-bulk packages |< 119 gallons) ARE NOT REGULATED\n171.4).\"\nIt is unnecessary to show the notation on your\nregulated bulk packages.\nI hope this information is helpful. If I can be of further\nassistance, please contact me.\nSincerely,\nHattee z. mitchel\n-\nHattie I.
