Reference No. 20-0014
Dear Mr. Dritschel:
This letter is in response to your January 31, 2020 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to placarding. Specifically, you ask whether utilizing a blue boarder around the edge of your Class 8 (corrosive) material placard meets the requirements of § 172.516(c)(7).
In your letter, you provided a picture of the placard affixed to a white cargo tank. Based on this picture, the answer to your question is yes. If the placard still meets the requirements of §§ 172.519 and 172.558 a thick blue boarder around the placard may be used to meet the requirements of § 172.516(c)(7).
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
T. Glenn Foster
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Standards and Rulemaking Division
172.516(c)(7), 172.519, 172.558
