Matched Legal Cases: ['§173', '§5', '§4', '§5', '§173', '§173']

Regulatory Helpdesk: April 23 | ICC Compliance Center Inc - USA
By Karrie Ishmael May 3, 2018 May 13th, 2019 49 CFR, Regulatory Helpdesk, UN Recommendations
None of the other common (49 CFR §173.185(c)(3)(i); IMDG §5.2.1.10; TDG §4.24; or UN Model §5.2.1.9) regulations quote a minimum UN number size specifically for the lithium battery mark. All of the regulations referenced allow for proportional reduction, of features without specified dimensions, when the authorized option for a reduced lithium battery mark is applied.
So, if the UN number is legible and meets the general minimum size (based on package size), specified in all but TDGR, then a reduction should be allowed for all.
[If the IATA DGR are amended to change “should be” to “must be”, then as a feature with specified dimensions, the UN number size of at least 12 mm would have to be maintained. However, even if the starting size of the UN number is 12 mm and if proportional reduction is subsequently permitted, then 7 mm would be adequate based on the general 59.9% reduction allowed in the mark for smaller packages. Note that all but the TDGR do have general UN number size requirements on packages, based on the package size.]
Limited Quantity (49 CFR)
Q. Can a corrosive liquid in packing group III be shipped as limited quantity? I’m in §173.154 which is where the HMT directed me. Is the limit per package or per inner container?
A. Per §173.154, for a PG III material the inner packaging of a combination packaging cannot be more than 5 liters or 1.3 gallons. This means you can have two (2) inners each one 2.5 liters in size or one inner that is up to 5 liters in size.
De Minimis (49 CFR)
Q. Can I use the de minimis exception in 49 CFR for a material that is non-hazardous?
A. If the transport classification of the material is truly not hazardous, then no parts of the 49 CFR Hazardous Materials Regulations apply. There is no need to use the 49 CFR in this instance. However, if your material is in fact hazardous and in inner containers that are 1 ml (0.03 ounces for a liquid or 1 gram (0.04 ounces for a solid), then this particular exception could be used.
