SECTION 3

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS MANAGEMENT

U.S. TEAM Guide, March 2009

A. Applicability

This section primarily addresses the proper storage and handling of chemicals and the training, reporting, spill contingency, and response requirements related to hazardous materials. Oil and pesticides are hazardous materials that have additional regulatory requirements that are addressed in separate sections. Radioactive substances and the general category of hazardous wastes also are not included in this section. This section does not focus on individual hazardous chemicals or substances used but deals with the generic requirements and management practices (MP) associated with minimizing impacts on the environment due to spills or releases of hazardous materials because of improper storage and handling.

Assessors are required to review state and local regulations and, if applicable, the appropriate Agency Supplement, to perform a comprehensive assessment.

Select portions of this section (i.e., Review of Federal Legislation, State and Local Regulations, Key Compliance Requirements, Key Terms and Definitions, Typical Records to Review, Typical Physical Features to Inspect, and the Checklist) have been reviewed by USEPA personnel from the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance (OECA) and USEPA's Office of General Counsel. USEPA's comments and suggestions for changes have been incorporated in this version of the TEAM Guide. USEPA did not review all portions of this section. USEPA also did not review and comment on items pertaining to federal Executive Orders, DOT regulations, OSHA regulations or any other area outside of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Portions that have been added or revised as a result of this review are identified as either being reviewed, revised or added in March 2001, for example [Reviewed March 2001].

B. Federal Legislation

• The Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). This act, last amended in November 1990, 29 U.S. Code (USC) 651-678, is a Federal statute that governs the issues related to occupational safety and health. The purpose and policy of this act are to assure every working man and woman in the nation safe and healthful working condition and to preserve our human resources by, among other things, providing for the development and publication of occupational safety and health standards, providing for an effective enforcement program, and providing for appropriate reporting procedures with respect to occupational safety and health which procedures will help achieve the objectives of this act and accurately describe the nature of the occupational safety and health (29 USC 651(b)(9)(10)(12)).

• The Hazardous Materials Transportation Act of 1975. This act, as last amended in November 1990, 49 USC 1801-1819, et al, is the federal legislation that governs the transportation of hazardous materials in the nation. The policy of Congress is to improve the regulatory and enforcement authority of the Secretary of Transportation to protect the nation adequately against the risks to life and property that are inherent in the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce (49 USC 1801).

• The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). CERCLA, known commonly as Superfund, became law in 1980 and authorizes USEPA to respond to releases or threatened releases of hazardous substances that may endanger public health, welfare, or the environment. The basic purpose of CERCLA is to provide funding and enforcement authority to USEPA for overseeing the clean up of environmental contamination caused by responsible parties. The Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) of 1986 revised various sections of CERCLA, and created a free-standing law, SARA Title III, also known as the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA). The CERCLA hazardous substance release reporting regulations (Section 103; 40 CFR Part 302) direct the person in charge of

3-1Hazardous Materials

a facility to report to the National Response Center any environmental release of a listed hazardous substance that equals or exceeds a reportable quantity. Reportable quantities are listed in 40 CFR Section 302.4. A release report may trigger a response by USEPA or by one or more federal or state emergency response authorities [Revised March 2001].

• Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA). This act, also known as SARA Title III, was designed to promote emergency planning and preparedness at both the state and local level. It provides citizens, local governments, and local response authorities with information regarding the potential hazards in their community. EPCRA requires the use of emergency planning and designates state and local governments as recipients of information regarding certain chemicals used in the community. EPCRA has four major components [Revised March 2001]:

Emergency planning (Sections 301-303) Emergency release notification (Section 304) Community right-to-know reporting (Sections 311-312) Toxic chemical release reporting (Section 313).

• Pollution Prevention Act of 1990 (PPA). The goals of PPA were the following: preventing or reducing pollution at the source whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be prevented should be recycled in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible; pollution that cannot be prevented or recycled should be treated in an environmentally safe manner whenever feasible; and disposal or other release into the environment should be employed only as a last resort and conducted in an environmentally safe manner. Section 6607 of the PPA requires owners or operators of facilities who have to file an annual toxic chemical release form (Form R) under EPCRA Section 313 to include a toxic chemical source reduction and recycling report for the preceding calendar year that has been incorporated into the Form R [Added March 2001].

• The Oil Pollution Act of 1990. This law, Public Law (PL) 301-308 (33 USC 2701-2761, et al.), as amended, requires the prevention of oil pollution into navigable waters by tank vessels. This includes the preparation of a response plan, construction of oil carriers with double hulls, and inspection of spill response equipment.

• Executive Order (EO) 12088, Federal Compliance with Pollution Standards. This EO, dated 13 October 1978, requires Federally owned and operated facilities to comply with applicable Federal, state, and local pollution control standards. It makes the head of each executive agency responsible for seeing to it that the agencies, facilities, programs, and activities the agency funds meet applicable Federal, state, and local environmental requirements and for correcting situations that are not in compliance with such requirements. In addition, the EO requires that each agency ensure that sufficient funds for environmental compliance are included in the agency budget.

• Executive Order (EO) 13423, Strengthing Federal Environmental, Energy, and Transportation Management. This EO, dated 24 January 2007, requires Federal agencies to lead by example in advancing the nation’s energy security and environmental performance by achieving goals outlined in the EO. This EO revokes the following EOs [Added July 2007]:

1. Executive Order 13101, Greening the Government Through Waste Prevention, Recycling, and Federal Acquisition of September 14, 1998;

2. Executive Order 13123, Greening the Government Through Efficient Energy Management of June 3, 1999;

3. Executive Order 13134, Developing and Promoting Biobased Products and Bioenergy of August 12, 1999, as amended;

4. Executive Order 13148, Greening the Government through Leadership in Environmental Management of April 21, 2000; and

5. Executive Order 13149, Greening the Government Through Federal Fleet and Transportation Efficiency of April 21, 2000.

• The National Fire Code, Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code, NFPA 30. This code prohibits the storage of Class I and Class II liquids in plastic containers in general-purpose warehousing.


C. State/Local Regulations

For information on regulations in specific states, see the State Supplements to TEAM Guide.

Hazardous materials may be regulated on the state level as well as local agencies (county/city fire departments) that may require flammable/combustible materials to meet certain storage requirements. Usually, these local ordinances will follow the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials (Pamphlets 325A, 325M, 49, 491F and 704M).

D. Key Compliance Requirements

• Planning and Documentation - A master listing of hazardous materials storage sites should be maintained. When outside fire protection help is needed, the local fire department should be notified of the types of hazardous chemicals used, the areas where they are use, what they are used for, and the amount used. Material safety data sheet (MSDS) files are required for each hazardous chemical it stores and uses, not including such items as hazardous waste, tobacco, or drugs and cosmetics meant for personal use (29 CFR 1910.1200(b) and 1910.1200(g)).

• Personnel Training - All employees must be provided with written information about hazardous chemicals to which they are exposed. Personnel who work with hazardous materials are required to be trained in the use of and potential hazards of such materials. All employees and supervisors working on sites exposed to hazardous materials or other hazards are required to be trained before engaging in these activities (29 CFR 1910.1200).

• Emergency Response Plans - 40 CFR 355 establishes requirements for a facility to provide information necessary for developing and implementing State and local chemical emergency response plans, and requirements for emergency notification of chemical releases. 40 CFR 355 also lists Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHSs) and Threshold Planning Quantities (TPQs) in Appendices A and B, which are used in determining if a facility are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 355 [Revised January 2009].

• Community Right-to-Know - 40 CFR 370 establishes reporting requirements for providing the public with important information on the hazardous chemicals in their communities. Reporting raises community awareness of chemical hazards and aids in the development of State and local emergency response plans. The reporting requirements established under this 40 CFR 370 consist of Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) reporting and inventory reporting [Revised March 2001, Revised January 2009].

• Toxic Chemical Release Reporting. Section 313 of EPCRA and Section 6607 of the PPA require certain facilities to report to the federal and state governments the annual quantity of toxic chemicals (listed in 40 CFR 372.65) entering each environmental medium, either through normal operations or as the result of an accident, quantities transferred offsite in waste, as well as other information. Facilities subject to this requirement must submit to USEPA and state officials a toxic chemical release form (Form R) for each toxic chemical manufactured, processed, or otherwise used in quantities exceeding minimum threshold values during the preceding calendar year. Facilities that have a “reportable waste quantity” of 500 lb of a listed toxic chemical may take advantage of an alternate threshold of one million pounds. If the facility does not manufacture, process or otherwise use more than one million pounds, it may certify by filing a Form A certification statement rather than a Form R. Releases that must be reported include those to air, water, and land (including land disposal and underground injection). In addition, discharges to a POTW and transfers to off-site locations for treatment, disposal, energy recovery, and recycling must also be reported. Facilities must also report on the quantities of the chemicals treated, recycled, or combusted for energy recovery onsite [Revised March 2001].

Form R/Form A reports must be submitted to both the USEPA and the state on or before July 1. Copies of Form R/Form A reports and related documentation must be kept at the facility for three years after the report is submitted.

The Pollution Prevention Act requires facilities subject to Form R/Form A reporting to also submit information on source reduction.


• Hazardous Materials Storage - Containers for hazardous chemicals are required to be labeled or tagged with the identity of the substance and appropriate warning markings. Areas where hazardous materials are stored or used are required to be kept free from accumulations of materials that create a hazard, such as leaking containers, or a placement of containers in a manner that would create hazards such as tripping, fire, or pests. Substances that together may create a fire hazard must be separated (29 CFR 1910.176(c), 1910.1200(b), and 1910.1200(f)).

• Hazardous Materials in Laboratories - A chemical hygiene plan that is reviewed annually is required when hazardous chemicals are used in laboratories. Employees are required to be provided with information and training about the hazardous chemicals in their work areas. Records about the exposure of employees are to be kept along with medical records (29 CFR 1910.1450(e), 1910.1450(f), 1910.1450(h), and 1910.1450(j))).

• Outside Storage of Flammable Combustible Liquids - Containers of flammable/combustible liquids can be stored outside if no more than 1100 gal of liquid are stored adjacent to a building. More than 1100 gal can be stored if there are 10 ft or more between buildings and the nearest flammable container. The storage area must be graded to divert spills or surrounded by a curb (29 CFR 1910.106(d)(6)).

• Storage of Flammable/Combustibles in Industrial Areas - Specific guidelines, requirements, or operating standards apply wherever flammable/combustible materials are stored, dispensed, or used in industrial plants, are in incidental storage, or in use in unit operations. This includes availability of portable fire extinguishers, precautions being taken to prevent ignition, and use of maintenance and operating practices to control leakage and prevent accidental escape of flammable/combustible liquids (29 CFR 1910.106(e)(2) through 1910.106(e)(9)).

• Compressed Gases - Regardless of where the cylinders are stored, NO SMOKING signs should be posted and actions taken to prevent fire. Compressed gases are required to be stored according to the Compressed Gas Association Pamphlet P-1-1965 (29 CFR 1910.101).

• Acid Storage - Bulk storage of acids should be done in buildings that are one story in height with ventilation. Safety equipment and fire protection must be available. The building is labeled NO SMOKING and heated to prevent freezing (MP).

• Hazardous Materials Transportation - The regulations found in Title 49, Subchapter C of the CFR detail requirements for the transportation of hazardous materials, 49 CFR 171.1(b) stipulates that these requirements apply to any person who, under contract with any department, agency, or instrumentality of the executive, legislative, or judicial branch of the Federal Government, transports, or causes to be transported or shipped, a hazardous material or manufactures, fabricates, marks, maintains, reconditions, repairs, or tests a package or container which is represented, marked, certified, or sold by such person as qualified for use in the transportation of a hazardous material is required to comply with all provisions of the Federal hazardous materials transportation law, all orders and regulations issued thereunder, and all other substantive and


procedural requirements of Federal, State, and local governments and Indian tribes (except any such requirements that have been preempted by the Federal hazardous materials transportation law or any other Federal law), in the same manner and to the same extent as any person engaged in such activities that are in or affect commerce is subject to such provisions, orders, regulations, and requirements [Revised July 2002].

the quantity of all hazardous constituents of the mixture or solution is known and a reportable quantity or more of any hazardous constituent is released

the quantity of one or more of the hazardous constituents of the mixture or solution is unknown and the total amount of the mixture or solution released equals or exceeds the reportable quantity for the hazardous constituent with the lowest RQ.

(NOTE: Radionuclides are subject to these notification requirements only in the following circumstances:

if the identity and quantity (in curies) of each radionuclide in a released mixture or solution is known, the ratio between the quantity released (in curies) and the RQ for the radionuclide must be determined for each



U.S. TEAM Guide



radionuclide (NOTE: The only such releases notification requirements are those in which the sum of the ratios for the radionuclides in the mixture or solution released is =/> 1.)

if the identity of each radionuclide in a released mixture or solution is known but the quantity released (in curies) of one or more of the radionuclides is unknown, the only such releases subject to notification requirements are those in which the total quantity (in curies) of the mixture or solution released is =/> the lowest RQ of any individual radionuclide in the mixture or solution

if the identity of one or more radionuclides in a released mixture or solution is unknown (or if the identity of a radionuclide released by itself is unknown), the only such releases subject to notification requirements are those in which the total quantity (in curies) released is equal to or greater than either one curie or the lowest RQ of any known individual radionuclide in the mixture or solution, whichever is lower.)

(NOTE: The following categories of releases are exempt from the notification requirements:

releases of those radionuclides that occur naturally in the soil from land holdings such as parks, golf courses, or other large tracts of land

releases of naturally occurring radionuclides from land disturbance activities, including farming, construction, and land disturbance incidental to extraction during mining activities, except that which occurs at uranium, phosphate, tin, zircon, hafnium, vanadium, monazite, and rare earth mines. Land disturbance incidental to extraction includes: land clearing; overburden removal and stockpiling; excavating, handling, transporting, and storing ores and other raw materials; and replacing materials in mined-out areas as long as such materials have not been beneficiated or processed and do not contain elevated radionuclide concentrations (greater than 7.6 pCi/g of Uranium-238, 6.8 pCi/g of Thorium-232, or 8.4 pCi/g of Radium-226)

releases of radionuclides from the dumping and transportation of coal and coal ash (including fly ash, bottom ash, and boiler slags), including the dumping and land spreading operations that occur during coal ash uses

releases of radionuclides from piles of coal and coal ash, including fly ash, bottom ash, and boiler slags

releases in amounts less than 1,000 lb/24 h of nitrogen oxide to the air which are the result of combustion and combustion-related activities

releases in amounts less than 1,000 lb/24 h of nitrogen dioxide to the air which are the result of combustion and combustion-related activities.)

(NOTE: Except for releases of radionuclides, notification of the release of an RQ of solid particles of antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, selenium, silver, thallium, or zinc is not required if the mean diameter of the particles released is larger than 100 micrometers (0.004 in.).)

HM.20.3.US. Specific notification requirements are required to be met for releases of hazardous substances that are continuous and stable in quantity and rate (40 CFR 302.8) [Revised April 1999; Revised March 2001].

Determine if there are any releases that are continuous and stable in quantity and rate.

Verify that the following notifications have been given:

initial telephone notification initial written notification within 30 days of the initial telephone

notification follow-up notification within 30 days of the first anniversary date of the

initial written notification notification of changes in:

the composition or source of the release information submitted in the initial written notification

the follow-up notification required on the first anniversary date of the initial written notification of when there is an increase in the quantity of the hazardous substances in any 24-h period that represents a statistically significant increase.

Verify that, prior to making an initial telephone notification of a continuous release, the person in charge of a facility or vessel establishes a sound basis for qualifying the release for reporting by one of the following:

using release data, engineering estimates, knowledge of operating procedures, or best professional judgment to establish the continuity and stability of the release

reporting the release to the NRC for a period sufficient to establish the continuity and stability of the release, or, when a basis has been established to qualify the release for reduced reporting, initial notification to the NRC is made by telephone.

Verify that the notification is identified as an initial continuous release notification report and includes the following information:

the name and location of the facility or vessel the name and identity of the hazardous substance being released.

Verify that initial written notification of a continuous release is made to the appropriate USEPA Regional Office for the geographical area where the releasing facility or vessel is located and occurs within 30 days of the initial telephone notification to the NRC.

Verify that the initial written notification includes, for each release for which reduced reporting as a continuous release is claimed, the following information:

the name of the facility or vessel; the location, including the latitude and longitude; the case number assigned by the NRC or the USEPA; the Dun and Bradstreet number of the facility, if available; the port of registration of the vessel; the name and telephone number of the person in charge of the facility or vessel

the identity and location of sensitive populations and ecosystems within a 1-mi radius of the facility or vessel (e.g., elementary schools, hospitals, retirement communities, or wetlands)

for each hazardous substance release claimed to qualify for reporting under CERCLA section 103(f)(2), the following information:

the name/identity of the hazardous substance; the CAS Registry Number for the substance (if available); and, if the substance being released is a mixture, the components of the mixture and their approximate concentrations and quantities, by weight

the upper and lower bounds of the normal range of the release (in pounds or kilograms) over the previous year

the source(s) of the release (e.g., valves, pump seals, storage tank vents, stacks). If the release is from a stack, the stack height (in feet or meters)

a brief statement describing the basis for stating that the release is continuous and stable in quantity and rate

an estimate of the total annual amount that was released in the previous year (in pounds or kilograms)

the environmental medium affected by the release, such as the name of the surface water body; the stream order or average flowrate (in cubic feet/second) and designated use; the surface area (in acres) and average depth (in feet or meters) of the lake; the location of public water supply wells within 2 mi if on or underground

a signed statement that the hazardous substance release described is continuous and stable in quantity and rate and that all reported information is accurate and current to the best knowledge of the person in charge.

Verify that, within 30 days of the first anniversary date of the initial written notification, each hazardous substance release reported is evaluated to verify and update the information submitted in the initial written notification.

Verify that the followup notification contains all the information required in the initial notification, plus notification of changes in the release not otherwise reported.

(NOTE: Instead of the initial written report or follow-up report, a copy of the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) form submitted under SARA Title III section 313 for the previous 1 July may be used if the following information is added:

the population density within a 1 mi radius of the facility or vessel described in terms of the following ranges: 0-50 persons, 51-100 persons, 101-500 persons, 501-1,000 persons, more than 1,000 persons

qualifies for reporting under CERCLA section 103(f)(2): the upper and lower bounds of the normal range of the release over

the previous year the frequency of the release and the fraction of the release from each

release source and the specific period over which it occurs a brief statement describing the basis for stating that the release is

continuous and stable in quantity and rate a signed statement that the release is continuous and stable in quantity

and rate and that all reported information is accurate and current to the best knowledge of the person in charge.)

(NOTE: If there is a change in any information submitted in the initial written notification or the followup notification other than a change in the source, composition, or quantity of the release, the person in charge of the facility or vessel shall provide written notification of the change to the USEPA Region for the geographical area where the facility or vessel is located, within 30 days of determining that the information submitted previously is no longer valid. Notification shall include the reason for the change, and the basis for stating that the release is continuous and stable under the changed conditions. Notification of changes shall include the case number assigned by the NRC or the USEPA and also the signed certification statement.)

Verify that notification of a statistically significant increase in a release is made to the NRC as soon as there is knowledge of the release.

(NOTE: A determination of whether an increase is a “statistically significant increase” shall be made based upon calculations or estimation procedures that will identify releases that exceed the upper bound of the reported normal range.)

Verify that each hazardous substance release is evaluated annually to determine if changes have occurred in the information submitted in the initial written notification, the followup notification, and/or in a previous change notification.

(NOTE: Where necessary to satisfy the requirements of this section, the person in charge may rely on recent release data, engineering estimates, the operating history of the facility or vessel, or other relevant information to support notification. All supporting documents, materials, and other information shall be kept on file at the facility, or in the case of a vessel, at an office within the United States in either a port of call, a place of regular berthing, or the headquarters of the business operating the vessel.)

Verify that supporting materials are kept on file for a period of 1 yr and that they substantiate the reported normal range of releases, the basis for stating that the release is continuous and stable in quantity and rate, and the other information in the initial written report, the followup report, and the annual evaluations.

(NOTE: Multiple concurrent releases of the same substance occurring at various



U.S. TEAM Guide



locations with respect to contiguous plants or installations upon contiguous grounds that are under common ownership or control may be considered separately or added together in determining whether such releases constitute a continuous or a statistically significant release; whichever approach is elected for purposes of determining whether a release is continuous also must be used to determine a statistically significant increase in the release.)

HM.20.4.US. When there is a release of an RQ of any extremely hazardous substance (EHS) or CERCLA hazardous substance, emergency release notification is required (40 CFR 355.30, 355.31, 355.32, 355.33, 355.41, 355.42, 355.43, 355.40, 355.60 and Appendix A) [Revised April 1999; Revised July 2000; Reviewed March 2001; Revised October 2006; Citation Revised January 2007; Revised January 2009)

(NOTE: The emergency release notification requirements of 40 CFR 355 are in addition to the release notification requirements of CERCLA. If the facility has a release of a CERCLA hazardous substance, the facility must comply with the emergency release notification requirements of 40 CFR 355 and the release notification requirements of CERCLA section 103, codified at 40 CFR 302 [see checklist items HM.20.2.US and HM.20.3.US]. See Appendix 3-0 for a chart comparing the emergency release notification requirements of 40 CFR 355 and CERCLA)

Verify that, if there is a release of a reportable quantity (RQ) of an EHS or CERCLA hazardous substance within any 24-h period, the emergency release notification requirements are triggered.

(NOTE: RQs for EHSs are listed in Appendix 3-1. The EPA's October 2006 Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act is online and searchable at http://yosemite.epa.gov/oswer/lol.nsf/homepage.) Verify that an immediate, oral, notification is made, and as soon as practicable thereafter a written follow-up emergency notification (or notifications, as more information becomes available).

Verify that the immediate notification includes as much of the following information known at the time:

the chemical name or identity of any substance involved in the release indicate whether the substance is an EHS provide an estimate of the quantity of any such substance that was

released into the environment state the time and duration of the release the medium or media into which the release occurred any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the

emergency and, where appropriate, advice regarding medical attention necessary for exposed individuals

proper precautions to take as a result of the release, including evacuation (unless such information is readily available to the community emergency coordinator pursuant to the emergency plan)

the name and telephone number of the individual (or individuals) to be contacted for further information.



U.S. TEAM Guide



(NOTE: The retrieval of the above information for immediate notification should not cause a delay in the notification on the emergency response.)

Verify that, except for releases that occur during transportation or from storage incident to transportation, the facility provides a written follow-up emergency notice (or notices, as more information becomes available), as soon as practicable after the release.

Verify that, in the written follow-up emergency notice, the facility provides and updates the information required in the immediate notification and includes additional information with respect to all of the following:

actions taken to respond and contain the release any known or anticipated acute or chronic health risks associated with the

release where appropriate, advice regarding medical attention necessary for

exposed individuals.

(NOTE: The facility is not required to submit a written follow-up notification for a release that occurred during transportation or from storage incident to transportation. For a release that occurs during transportation or from storage incident to transportation, the facility may meet the emergency notification requirements by notifying the 911 operator (or in the absence of a 911 emergency telephone number, the operator) of the immediate notification information listed above. )

Verify that the immediate emergency release notification information and the written follow-up are provided to:

the community emergency coordinator for the LEPC of any area likely to be affected by the release (if there is no LEPC, notify the relevant local emergency response personnel)

the SERC of any State likely to be affected by the release.

(NOTE: If the release of an EHS or CERCLA hazardous substance is continuous and stable in quantity and rate at the facility as defined in 40 CFR 302.8(b) [see checklist item HM.20.3.US], then the release qualifies for reduced reporting requirements. Under reduced reporting requirements, the facility does not need to provide the immediate or the followup notifications. However, in addition to the notifications required under 40 CFR 302.8 [see checklist item HM.20.3.US] , the facility must make all of the following notifications to the community emergency coordinator for the LEPC for any area likely to be affected by the release and to the SERC of any State likely to be affected by the release:

initial notifications as specified in 40 CFR 302.8(d) and 302.8(e) notification of a “statistically significant increase,” defined in 40 CFR

302.8(b) as any increase above the upper bound of the reported normal range



U.S. TEAM Guide



notification of a “new release” as specified in 40 CFR 302.8(g)(1) notification of a change in the normal range of the release as specified

under 40 CFR 302.8(g)(2).)

(NOTE: Emergency release notification is not required for any of the following types of releases of EHSs or CERCLA hazardous substances that occur at a facility:

any release that results in exposure to persons solely within the boundaries of your facility

any release that is a federally permitted release as defined in section 101(10) of CERCLA

any release of a pesticide product that is exempt from reporting under section 103(e) of CERCLA

any release that does not meet the definition of release under section 101(22) of CERCLA and is therefore exempt from CERCLA section 103(a) reporting

any radionuclide release that occurs: naturally in soil from land holdings such as parks, golf courses, or

other large tracts of land naturally from land disturbance activities, including farming,

construction, and land disturbance incidental to extraction during mining activities, except that which occurs at uranium, phosphate, tin, zircon, hafnium, vanadium, monazite, and rare earth mines

from the dumping and transportation of coal and coal ash (including fly ash, bottom ash, and boiler slags), including the dumping and land spreading operations that occur during coal ash uses

from piles of coal and coal ash, including fly ash, bottom ash, and boiler slags

any release less than 1,000 pounds per 24 h of nitrogen oxide or nitrogen dioxide to the air which is the result of combustion and combustion related activities.)

(NOTE: Land disturbance incidental to extraction includes: land clearing; overburden removal and stockpiling; excavating, handling, transporting, and storing ores and other raw (not beneficiated or processed) materials; and replacing in mined-out areas coal ash, earthen materials from farming or construction, or overburden or other raw materials generated from the exempted mining activities.)

HM.25

EMERGENCY PLANNING

HM.25.1.US. When extremely hazardous substances (EHS) are present in amounts equal to or greater than their threshold planning quantity (TPQ) or the facility has been designated for emergency planning purposes, specific emergency planning procedures are required to be followed (40 CFR 355.10, 355.11, 355.13, 355.14, 355.15, 355.16, 355.20 and 355.21) [Revised April 1999; Revised July 2000; Reviewed March 2001; Citation Revised January 2007; Citation Revised July 2007; Revised January 2009].

(NOTE: This checklist item applies if the facility meets either of the following two conditions:

any EHS is present at the facility in an amount equal to or greater than its TPQ [See Appendix 3-1, plus, the EPA's October 2006 Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act is online and searchable at http://yosemite.epa.gov/oswer/lol.nsf/homepage]

the facility has been designated for emergency planning purposes, after public notice and opportunity for comment, by one of the following three entities: the State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) the Governor of the State in which your facility is located the Chief Executive Officer of the Tribe for the Indian Tribe under

whose jurisdiction the facility is located.If a facility is designated for emergency planning purposes, substances that are not EHSs at this facility may become subject to the emergency planning requirements.)

Verify that the SERC and the LEPC are notified that the facility is subject to emergency planning requirements for EHSs within 60 days after the facility first becomes subject to EHS emergency planning requirements.

Verify that the facility designates a representative who will participate in the local emergency planning process as a facility emergency response coordinator.

Verify that the facility notifies the LEPC (or the SERC if there is no LEPC, or the Governor if there is no SERC) who the facility emergency response coordinator is within 60 days after the facility first becomes subject to EHS emergency planning requirements.

Verify that, if no LEPC exists for the facility at the time the facility is required to provide emergency planning notification and identification of the emergency response coordinator, the facility reports to the LEPC within 30 days after an LEPC is established for the emergency planning district in which the facility is located.

Verify that the facility notifies the LEPC of any changes occurring at the facility that may be relevant to emergency planning within 30 days of the change.

(NOTE: The facility must provide to the LEPC any information necessary for developing and implementing the local emergency plan upon the request of the LEPC.)



U.S. TEAM Guide



(NOTE: EPA does not require any specific format. EPA recommends that the facility submits the required information in writing in order to insure appropriate documentation. The SERC or LEPC may request that information be submitted in a specific format.)

(NOTE: If an EHS is present in a mixture in a particular container, determine the quantity (in pounds) of the EHS in that container by multiplying the concentration of the EHS (in weight percent) by the weight (in pounds) of the mixture in the container. If the concentration of an EHS is less than or equal to one percent in the mixture, the facility does not have to count that EHS.)

(NOTE: You must aggregate (i.e., add together) the amounts of each EHS at the facility to determine if a TPQ is present. This means that, for a particular EHS, the facility must determine the total amount present at any one time at the facility by adding together the quantity of pure EHS and the quantity contained in all mixtures, regardless of location, number of containers, or method of storage. The facility does not have to count an EHS in a mixture if the concentration of that EHS is less than or equal to one percent.)

(NOTE: EHSs that are in solid form are subject to one of two different TPQs (for example, TPQs may be listed as 500/10,000 pounds), both of which are listed in Appendix 3-1 [EPA's October 2006 Consolidated List of Chemicals Subject to the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) and Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act is online and searchable at http://yosemite.epa.gov/oswer/lol.nsf/homepage]. Here is how to determine which of the two listed TPQs must be used for an EHS present at the facility in solid form:

use the lower TPQ from Appendix 3-1 if the solid meets one of the following: is in powdered form and has a particle size less than 100 microns is in solution is in molten form meets the criteria for a National Fire Protection Association (NFPA)

rating of 2, 3 or 4 for reactivity. if the solid does not meet one of the above criteria, then the TPQ is

10,000 pounds. For the three forms of solids use the following instructions to determine the quantity of EHS present:

solid in powdered form with a particle size less than 100 microns: multiply the weight percent of solid with a particle size less than 100 microns in a particular container by the total weight of solid in the container

solid in solution: multiply the weight percent of solid in solution in a particular container by the total weight of solution in the container

solid in molten form: multiply the weight of solid in molten form by 0.3.)

HM.30

RIGHT-TO-KNOW

HM.30.1.US. Facilities are required to report certain hazardous chemicals when they are present in amounts above the regulatory threshold levels (40 CFR 370.10, 370.12, 370.13, 370.14, 370.30, 370.31, 370.32, 370.33, and 370.60) [Revised April 1999; Revised July 2000; Revised March 2001; Citation Revised January 2007; Citation Revised July 2007; Revised January 2009].

Verify that the facility reports any hazardous chemical for which they are required to prepare or have available an MSDS under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard that is present at the facility in amounts equal to or above the applicable threshold levels (see NOTE below) by either:

submitting an MSDS for each hazardous chemical present at the facility that meets or exceeds its applicable threshold level

submitting a list of all hazardous chemicals present at the facility at or above the applicable threshold levels with the hazardous chemicals grouped by Hazard Category and the list contains the chemical or common name of each hazardous chemical as provided on the MSDS.

Verify that, while MSDS reporting is a one-time requirement, the information is updated in all of the following ways:

submitting a revised MSDS after discovering significant new information concerning a hazardous chemical for which an MSDS was submitted

submitting an MSDS, or a list, for any new hazardous chemical for which the facility become subject to these reporting requirements

submitting, as requested by the LEPC, an MSDS for any hazardous chemical present at the facility which you have not already submitted a MSDS.

Verify that the MSDS or list (new or revised) are submitted to the LEPC, the SERC, and the fire department with jurisdiction over the facility within 3 mo after first becoming subject to the reporting requirements.

Verify that , for a mixture containing a hazardous chemical, the table in Appendix 3-0a is used to determine if a reporting threshold is equaled or exceeded, and to determine how to report.

Verify that, for each specific mixture, the reporting option used is consistent for both MSDS and inventory reporting, unless it is not possible to do so.

(NOTE: This means that if the facility reports on a specific mixture as a whole for MSDS reporting, report on that mixture as a whole for inventory reporting too (unless it is not possible).)

(NOTE: To determine the quantity of an EHS or a non-EHS hazardous chemical component present in a mixture, multiply the concentration of the hazardous chemical component (in weight percent) by the weight of the mixture (in pounds). It is not necessary to count a hazardous chemical present in a mixture if the concentration is less than or equal to 1%, or less than or equal to 0.1% for



U.S. TEAM Guide



a carcinogenic chemical.)

(NOTE: The EPA has not issued a list of hazardous chemicals subject to this reporting requirement. A substance is a hazardous chemical if it is required to have an MSDS and meets the definition of hazardous chemical under the OSHA regulations found at 29 CFR 1910.1200(c). See checklist item HM.1.2.US for more detailed information on MSDS requirements.)

(NOTE: The threshold levels for reporting are as follows: a hazardous chemical that is an Extremely Hazardous Substance (EHS) is

present at the facility at any one time in an amount equal to or greater than 500 lbs (227 kg--approximately 55 gal) or the Threshold Planning Quantity (TPQ), whichever is lower (EHSs and their TPQs are listed in Appendices A and B of 40 CFR 355)

a hazardous chemical that is not an EHS is present at the facility at any one time in an amount equal to or greater than the threshold level for that hazardous chemical and the threshold level for hazardous chemicals that do not meet the following criteria is 10,000 lbs (or 4,540 kg): for gasoline at a retail gas station, the threshold level is 75,000 gal

(approximately 283,900 L) for diesel fuel at a retail gas station the threshold level is 100,000 gal

(approximately 378,500 L).

(NOTE: A retail gas station means a retail facility engaged in selling gasoline and/or diesel fuel principally to the public, for motor vehicle use on land.)

(NOTE: The threshold levels at retail gas stations include all grades of gasoline or diesel combined as applicable. The threshold levels at retail gas stations also only apply for gasoline or diesel that was in tank(s) entirely underground and was in compliance at all times during the preceding calendar year with all applicable UST requirements at 40 CFR 280 or requirements of the EPA-approved state UST program)

Verify that, regardless of the threshold levels of hazardous chemicals at the facility, if the LEPC requests that the facility submit an MSDS for a hazardous chemical, the facility submits the MSDS within 30 days of the request.

Verify that, regardless of the threshold levels of hazardous chemicals at the facility, if the LEPC, SERC, or the fire department with jurisdiction over the facility requests that the facility submits Tier II information, the facility submits the Tier II Information.

(NOTE: In general, facilities are not required to report substances for which they are not required to have an MSDS under the OSHA regulations, or that are excluded from the definition of hazardous chemical under EPCRA section 311(e). Each of the following substances are excluded under EPCRA section 311(e):

any food, food additive, color additive, drug, or cosmetic regulated by the



U.S. TEAM Guide



Food and Drug Administration any substance present as a solid in any manufactured item to the extent

exposure to the substance does not occur under normal conditions of use any substance to the extent it is used:

for personal, family, or household purposes, or is present in the same form and concentration as a product packaged for distribution and use by the general public

in a research laboratory or hospital or other medical facility under the direct supervision of a technically qualified individual

in routine agricultural operations or is a fertilizer held for sale by a retailer to the ultimate customer.)

(NOTE: “Present in the same form and concentration as a product packaged for distribution and use by the general public” means a substance packaged in a similar manner and present in the same concentration as the substance when packaged for use by the general public, whether or not it is intended for distribution to the general public or used for the same purpose as when it is packaged for use by the general public.)

(NOTE: Any person may obtain an MSDS for a specific facility by writing to the LEPC and asking for it. If the LEPC has the MSDS, it must provide it to the person making the request. If the LEPC does not have the MSDS, it must request the MSDS from the facility's owner or operator.)

HM.30.2.US. When applicable, inventory information (Tier I and Tier II inventory forms) must be submitted annually by March 1 (40 CFR 370.10, 370.40, 370.41, 370.42, 370.44, 370.45, and 370.61) [Revised April 1999; Revised March 2001; Citation Revised January 2007; Citation Revised July 2007; Revised January 2009].

Verify that the facilities which are required to report any hazardous chemical for which they are required to prepare or have available an MSDS under OSHA Hazard Communication Standard that is present at the facility in amounts equal to or above the applicable threshold levels (see checklist item HM.30.1.US) submit inventory information by March 1 of every year to the SERC, LEPC, and fire department with jurisdiction over the facility.

Verify that the inventory information addresses any hazardous chemical present at the facility at any time during the previous calendar year in an amount equal to or in excess of its threshold level.

(NOTE: Tier I information is the minimum information that must be reported to be in compliance with the inventory reporting requirements.)

Verify that, if the facility is reporting Tier I information, the facility reports aggregate information on hazardous chemicals by hazard categories.

(NOTE: There are two health hazard categories and three physical hazard categories for purposes of reporting, see the definitions.)

(NOTE: EPA publishes Tier I and Tier II Inventory Forms that provide uniform formats for reporting the Tier I and Tier II information. You may use a State or local format for reporting inventory information if the State or local format

contains at least the required Tier I information. EPA's Tier I and Tier II forms are available at http://www.epa.gov/emergencies.) Verify that Tier I information includes all of the following:

certification by the owner or operator or the officially designated representative of the owner or operator that all information included in the Tier I submission is true, accurate, and complete as follows: “I certify under penalty of law that I have personally examined and

am familiar with the information and that based on my inquiry of those individuals responsible for obtaining the information, I believe that the submitted information is true, accurate, and complete''

the certification is accompanied by the owner/operators’ full name, official title, original signature, date signed, and total number of pages in the submission including all attachments

the owner/operators’ signature or signature stamp, the date the certification was signed, and the total number of pages in the submission on all other pages

(NOTE: The owner or operator or a facility at which a toxic chemical was manufactured (including imported), processed or otherwise used in excess of an applicable threshold quantity may submit a separate Form R for each establishment or for each group of establishments within the facility to report the activities involving the toxic chemical at each establishment or group of establishments, provided that activities involving the toxic chemical at all the establishments within the covered facility are reported. See 40 CFR 372.30(c) for instruction and procedures regarding alternatives for reporting when the facility consists of more than one establishment.)



U.S. TEAM Guide



(NOTE: A facility may apply an alternate threshold of 1 million pounds per year to that chemical if it is calculated that the facility would have

no more than 2,000 lb of total on-site and off-site disposal or other releases (including disposal or other releases that resulted from catastrophic events)

an annual reportable amount of that toxic chemical not exceeding 5,000 lb for the combined total quantities released at the facility; disposed within the facility; treated for destruction at the facility; recovered at the facility as a result of recycling operations; combusted for the purpose of energy recovery at the facility; transferred from the facility to off-site locations for the purpose of

recycling, energy recovery, treatment, and/or disposal; and managed as a result of remedial actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not associated with production processes during the reporting year..)

For chemical of special concern (see Appendix 3-1a) the facility may apply an alternate threshold of 1 million lb/yr to that chemical if the owner or operator calculates that the facility would have:

zero on-site and off-site disposal or other releases (including disposal or other releases that resulted from catastrophic events)

an “Annual Reportable Amount of a Chemical of Special Concern” not exceeding 500 lb.

The “Annual Reportable Amount of a Chemical of Special Concern: is the combined total of:

quantities treated for destruction at the facility quantities recovered at the facility as a result of recycling operations quantities combusted for the purpose of energy recovery at the facility quantities transferred from the facility to off-site locations for the purpose

of recycling, energy recovery, and/or treatment quantities managed through recycling, energy recovery, or treatment for

destruction that were the result of remedial actions, catastrophic events, or one-time events not associated with production processes during the reporting year.)

Verify that, if a facility uses the alternate reporting threshold, the facility owner or operator submits the required certification statement that contains the following information instead of the USEPA Form R:

Number(s) of the facility name of the facility's parent company parent company's Dun and Bradstreet Number.

Verify that, when more than one threshold applies to facility activities, the facility reports if it exceeds any applicable threshold and reports on all activities at the facility involving the chemical unless otherwise exempted.

Verify that, when a facility manufactures, processes, or otherwise uses more than one member of a chemical category listed in 40 CFR 372.65(c), the facility reports if it exceeds any applicable threshold for the total volume of all the members of the category involved in the applicable activity and the report covers all activities at the facility involving members of the category.

(NOTE: A facility may process or otherwise use a toxic chemical in a recycle/reuse operation. To determine whether the facility has processed or used more than an applicable threshold of the chemical, the owner or operator of the facility counts the amount of the chemical added to the recycle/reuse operation during the calendar year. In particular, if the facility starts up such an operation during a calendar year, or in the event that the contents of the whole recycle/reuse operation are replaced in a calendar year, the facility also counts the amount of the chemical placed into the system at these times.)

(NOTE: The following exemptions apply: if a toxic chemical is present in a mixture of chemicals at a covered facility

and the toxic chemical is in a concentration in the mixture which is below 1 percent of the mixture, or 0.1 percent of the mixture in the case of a toxic chemical which is a carcinogen, the quantity of the toxic chemical present in such mixture does not have to be considered when determining whether an applicable threshold has been met or determining the amount of release to be reported under. This exemption applies whether the person received the mixture from another person or the person produced the mixture, either by mixing the chemicals involved or by causing a chemical reaction that resulted in the creation of the toxic chemical in the mixture. However, this exemption applies only to the quantity of the toxic chemical present in the mixture. If the toxic chemical is also manufactured (including imported), processed, or otherwise used at the covered facility other than as part of the



U.S. TEAM Guide



mixture or in a mixture at higher concentrations, in excess of an applicable threshold quantity, the facility is required to report. This exemption does not apply to the chemicals listed in Appendix 3-1a

if a toxic chemical is present in an article at a covered facility, the quantity of the toxic chemical present in such article does not have to be considered when determining whether an applicable threshold has been met or determining the amount of release to be reported. This exemption applies whether the facility received the article from another facility or produced the article. However, this exemption applies only to the quantity of the toxic chemical present in the article. If the toxic chemical is manufactured (including imported), processed, or otherwise used at the covered facility other than as part of the article, in excess of an applicable threshold quantity, reporting is required. If a release of a toxic chemical occurs as a result of the processing or use of an item at the facility, that item does not meet the definition of “article”

if a toxic chemical is used at a covered facility for one of the following purposes, it is not required to consider the quantity of the toxic chemical used for such purpose when determining whether an applicable threshold has been met under or determining the amount of releases to be reported. However, this exemption only applies to the quantity of the toxic chemical used for the purpose described in the following list. If the toxic chemical is also manufactured (including imported), processed, or otherwise used at the covered facility other than as listed, in excess of an applicable threshold quantity, reporting is required. The list includes:

use as a structural component of the facility use of products for routine janitorial or facility grounds maintenance personal use by employees or other persons at the facility of foods,

drugs, cosmetics, or other personal items containing toxic chemicals, including supplies of such products within the facility such as in a facility-operated cafeteria, store, or infirmary

Appendix 3-1

Consolidated List of Chemicals Covered in Title III of SARA[Revised July 2003; Revised January 2005; Revised July 2005; Revised October 2006]

(NOTE: This list is constantly changing and the Federal Register should be consulted for the most up-to-date information.)

This consolidated chemical list includes chemicals subject to reporting requirements under Title III of SARA. This consolidated chemical list does not contain all chemicals that are subject to reporting requirements in Sections 311 and 312 of SARA Title III. These hazardous chemicals, for which MSDSs must be developed under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, Hazard Communication Standards, are identified by broad criteria rather than enumeration. There are over 50,000 such substances that meet the criteria. The consolidated list has been prepared to help determine whether there is a need to submit reports under Section 304 or 313 of Title III and, for a specific chemical, what reports need to be submitted.

The list includes chemicals under the four following Federal statutory provisions:

1. SARA Section 302 Extremely Hazardous Substances - the presence of which, in sufficient quantities, requires certain emergency planning activities to be conducted. Releases of these substances are also subject to reporting under Section 304 of Title III. The final rule listing the extremely hazardous substances and their threshold planning quantities (TPQ) is found in 40 CFR 355.

2. CERCLA Hazardous Substances (RQ) Chemicals - releases of which are subject to reporting under the CERCLA or Superfund of 1980. Such releases are also subject to reporting under Section 304 of Title III. CERCLA hazardous substances, and their RQs, are listed in 40 CFR 302, Table 302.4.

3. SARA Section 313 Toxic Chemicals - emissions or releases of which must be reported annually as part of SARA Title III’s community right-to-know provisions. A list of these toxic chemicals is found in 40 CFR 372.65.

4. RCRA Hazardous Wastes - from the "P" and "U" lists (40 CFR 261.33) of specific chemicals. RCRA hazardous wastes from the "F" and "K" lists are not included here; such waste streams are also CERCLA hazardous substances. This listing is provided as an indicator that you may already have data on a specific chemical that can be used for Title III reporting purposes.

There are four columns in the consolidated list corresponding to these four statutory provisions. If a chemical is listed as an extremely hazardous substance under Section 302, its TPQ is given in the extremely hazardous substance column. Similarly, the CERCLA RQ is given for those chemicals that are listed as hazardous substances. A key to the symbols used in Section 302 and CERCLA columns precedes the list. An "X" in the column for 40 CFR 372.65(f) indicates that the chemical is subject to reporting under Section 313.

The letter-and-digit code in the column for 40 CFR 261.33 is the chemical’s RCRA hazardous waste code. A blank in any of these columns indicates that the chemical is not subject to the corresponding statutory authorities.

The Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number is provided for each chemical on the list.

Key to Symbols in the Consolidated Chemical List

# Indicates that the RQ is subject to change when an assessment of potential carcinogenicity and/or chronic toxicity is completed; until then, the statutory RQ applies.

## Indicates that an adjusted RQ has been proposed, but a final judgment has not been made.

+ USEPA has proposed to adjust the RQ for radionuclides by establishing RQs in units of Curies; until then, the 1 lb RQ applies.

* Indicates that the chemical is proposed for deletion from the list of extremely hazardous substances.


** Indicates that no RQ is assigned to this generic or broad class.

(NOTE: These abbreviations are used below: Haz Sub (hazardous substances), Mat (materials).)

However, when 1,000 kg (2,205 pounds) aggregate gross weight or more of one category of material is loaded therein at one loading facility on a freight container, unit load device, transport vehicle, or rail car, the placard specified in Table 2 for that category must be applied.

When hazardous materials covered by Table 2 are transported by highway or rail, placards are not required on the following, with the exception of bulk packagings and hazardous materials subject to 49 CFR 172.505:A transport vehicle or freight container which contains less than 454 kg (1001 pounds) aggregate gross weight of hazardous materials covered by Table 2; orA rail car loaded with transport vehicles or freight containers, none of which is required to be placarded.

The exception for Table 2 placarding do not prohibit the display of placards in the manner prescribed, if not otherwise prohibited (see 49 CFR172.502), on transport vehicles or freight containers which are not required to be placarded.

A non-bulk packaging that contains only the residue of a hazardous material covered by Table 2 of need not be included in determining placarding requirements.

2 When more than one division placard is required for Class 1 materials on a transport vehicle, rail car, freight container or unit load device, only the placard representing the lowest division number must be displayed.

3 A NON-FLAMMABLE GAS placard is not required on a transport vehicle which contains non-flammable gas if the transport vehicle also contains flammable gas or oxygen and it is placarded with FLAMMABLE GAS or OXYGEN placards, as required.

4 A FLAMMABLE placard may be used in place of a COMBUSTIBLE placard on--A cargo tank or portable tank.A compartmented tank car which contains both flammable and combustible liquids.

5 OXIDIZER placards are not required for Division 5.1 materials on freight containers, unit load devices, transport vehicles or rail cars which also contain Division 1.1 or 1.2 materials and which are placarded with


EXPLOSIVES 1.1 or 1.2 placards, as required. For transportation by transport vehicle or rail car only, an OXIDIZER placard is not required for Division 5.1 materials on a transport vehicle, rail car or freight container which also contains Division 1.5 explosives and is placarded with EXPLOSIVES 1.5 placards, as required. 6 The EXPLOSIVE 1.4 placard is not required for those Division 1.4 Compatibility Group S (1.4S) materials that are not required to be labeled 1.4S.

Additional Information

For domestic transportation of oxygen, compressed or oxygen, refrigerated liquid, the OXYGEN placard in 49 CFR.172.530 may be used in place of a NON-FLAMMABLE GAS placard. For domestic transportation, a POISON INHALATION HAZARD placard is not required on a transport vehicle or freight container that is already placarded with the POISON GAS placard. For domestic transportation, a Class 9 placard is not required. A bulk packaging containing a Class 9 material must be marked with the appropriate identification number displayed on a Class 9 placard, an orange panel or a white-square-on-point display configuration.

For Division 6.1, PG III materials, a POISON placard may be modified to display the text ``PG III'' below the mid line of the placard.

For domestic transportation, a POISON placard is not required on a transport vehicle or freight container required to display a POISON INHALATION HAZARD or POISON GAS placard.

For shipments of Class 1 (explosive) materials by aircraft or vessel, the applicable compatibility group letter must be displayed on the placards..

1Where length is used in this table it means the length measured from end to end over the deck, excluding sheer. This expression means a straight line measurement of the overall length from the foremost part of the vessel to the aftermost part of the vessel, measured parallel to the centerline. 2Subchapter E (Load Lines), F (Marine Engineering), J (Electrical Engineering), and N (Dangerous Cargoes) of this chapter may also be applicable under certain conditions. The provisions of 49 CFR 171-179 apply whenever hazardous materials are on board vessels (including motorboats), except when specifically exempted by law. 3Public nautical schoolships, other than vessels of the Navy and Coast Guard, shall meet the requirements of 49 CFR 167 of subchapter R (Nautical Schools) of this chapter. Civilian nautical schools, as defined by 46 USC 1331, shall meet the requirements of subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) and part 168 of subchapter R (Nautical Schools) of this chapter. 4Subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) of this chapter covers only those vessels of 100 gross tons or more. Subchapter T (Small Passenger Vessels) of this chapter covers only those vessels of less than 100 gross tons. 5Vessels covered by subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) or I (Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels) of this chapter, where the principal purpose or use of the vessel is not the carriage of liquid cargo, may be granted a permit to carry a limited amount of flammable or combustible liquid cargo in bulk. The portion of the vessel used for the carriage of the flammable or combustible liquid cargo shall meet the requirements of subchapter D (Tank Vessels) in addition to the requirements of subchapter H (Passenger Vessels) or I (Cargo and Miscellaneous Vessels) of this chapter. 6Any vessel on an international voyage is subject to the requirements of the International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.


7The meaning of the term passenger is as defined in the Act of 10 May 1956 (Section 1, 70 Statute 151; 46 USC 390). On oceanographic vessels, scientific personnel on board shall not be deemed to be passengers or seamen, but for calculations of lifesaving equipment, etc., shall be counted as persons. 8Boilers and machinery are subject to examination on vessels over 40 ft in length.
