Espinoza\nRef. No. 99-0064\nAvonite, Inc.\n1945 Hwy 304\nBelen, NM 87002\nDear Mr. Espinoza:\nThis is in response to your letter dated April 8, 1998, regarding dual markings on packages containing\nhazardous materials described as \"Consumer Commodity, ORM-D\" under the Hazardous Materials\nRegulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You requested our review of an enclosed drawing\nshowing a package marked with \"CONSUMER COMMODITY, ORM-D\", \"CONSUMER\nCOMMODITY, ORM-D-AIR\", \"CONSUMER COMMODITY, ID 8000,\" and bearing a CLASS 9\nlabel. The package is intended for transportation by highway, air, or vessel.\nThe HMR do not prohibit more than one marking on packages containing hazardous materials. So as\nnot to reduce the effectiveness of these markings, we suggest that the markings be placed on opposite:\nsides of the package. However, the orientation arrows depicted in your drawing do not conform\npictorially to the ISO Standard 780-1985, as prescribed in 49 CFR 172.312.\nFor your information, if all inner packagings meet 49 CFR 173.27, packages intended for materials\ndescribed as \"Consumer commodities, ORM-D,\" may be marked \"ORM-D-AIR\" regardless of\nwhether they are transported by aircraft (See 49 CFR 172.316(a)(1) and 49 CFR 173.27).\nI hope this satisfies your inquiry.\nSincerely,\nWhen Hillip\nDelmer F.
