No.\n99-0098\nDangerous Goods of America, Inc,\nPO Box 590888\nMiami, FL 33159-0888\nDear Mr. Pagan:\nThis is in response to your letter dated April 8, 1999,\nregarding the classification of aircraft engines.\nSpecifically, you ask how an aircraft engine is classified\nwhen offered for air transportation and whether it requires a\nshipper's Declaration of Dangerous Goods; and if an engine is\naccompanied by a certificate of drainage, is a declaration\nrequired.\nNo person may offer a hazardous material\nfor transportation\nunless the material is properly classified in accordance with\nthe Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-\n180). The classification of a hazardous material is the\nresponsibility of the shipper (§ 173.22). Aircraft engines\nthat are offered for transportation by air and have not been\ncompletely purged of fuel are subject to the HMR.\nThe engine\nmust be accompanied by a hazardous materials shipping paper\n(e.g. Declaration of Dangerous Goods) that includes the\nshipper's certification required by § 172.204. An aircraft\nengine that is completely purged of all flammable materials is\nnot subject to the HMR.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nThan DOll\nThomas G.
