Specifically you ask if hazardous materials transported\nbetween your company's facilities may be considered materials of\ntrade.\nOne criteria for a material of trade is that a hazardous material\nis transported by a private carrier in direct support of its\nprincipal business which may not be transportation by motor\nvehicle.\nIf the hazardous materials transported between your\ncompany's facilities are used to, support the business, and\nprovided all condition of § 173.6 are met, the materials of trade\nexception may be applied to your scenario.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nTransportation Regulations Specialist\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\n990190\n118\nSEA...\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nFROM : NO OF WISCONSIN INC.\nPHONE NO.: 17154492454\nJul.\n14 1992\nNCL north central laboratories\nPO.
