No. 99-0060 Danzas S.P.A Via Torricelli, 49 1-37136 Verona, Italy Dear Mr. De Mercurio: This is in response to your letter of February 19, 1999, regarding the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you asked us to provide reportable quantity values (RQs) for a hazardous material déscribed as "Environmentally hazardous substance, liquid, The HMR require the letters "RO" to appear on a shipping paper, if the hazardous material meets the definition of hazardous substance (S 172.203(c)(2)). As defined in $ 171.8, a hazardous substance is a material that is listed in Appendix A to $ 172.101, is in a package that meets or exceeds the Rl, and when in a mixture or solution, has a concentration by weight which equals or éxceeds the concentration corresponding to the RQ of the material as listed in the table in § 171.8. A material must meet all of these requirements in order to be a hazardous substance. Appendix A lists hazardous substances by their chemical name or waste name, and lists each substance's corresponding Rl value in pounds or kilograms. You should review Appendix A to determine if the chemicals in your customer's material have Rs. If the chemicals do not appear in Appendix A, then you need not mark RQ on your <<>> shipping paper. I have enclosed copies of appropriate parts of S$ 171.8, Appendix A to 172.101, and 172.203. I hope this satisfies your request. sincerely, Transportation Regulations Specialist Office of Hazardous Materials Standards Enclosures : <<>> B2/19/99 13:22:14; UK_GWY_85→> 202 366 3753; Total Pages: 1 Page DANZAS S.P.A.
