and a Series 6(c) test from the UN Manual
of Tests and Criteria (IBR, see Section 171.7 of
this subchapter) on packages as prepared
for transport in accordance with the requirements of this subchapter.
144 If transported as a residue in an underground storage tank (UST), as defined in 40
CFR 280.12, that has been cleaned and
purged or rendered inert according to the
American
Petroleum
Institute
(API)
Standard 1604 (IBR, see Section 171.7 of this subchapter), then the tank and this material
are not subject to any other requirements
of this subchapter. However, sediments remaining in the tank that meet the definition for a hazardous material are subject
to the applicable regulations of this subchapter.
145 This entry applies to formulations that
neither detonate in the cavitated state nor
deflagrate in laboratory testing, show no
effect when heated under confinement, exhibit no explosive power, and are thermally stable (self-accelerating decomposition temperature (SADT) at 60 SectionC (140 SectionF)
or higher for a 50 kg (110.2 lbs.) package).
Formulations not meeting these criteria
must be transported under the provisions
applicable to the appropriate entry in the
Organic Peroxide Table in Section 173.225 of this
subchapter.
146 This description may be used for a material that poses a hazard to the environment but does not meet the definition for
a hazardous waste or a hazardous substance, as defined in Section 171.8 of this subchapter, or any hazard class, as defined in
part 173 of this subchapter, if it is designated as environmentally hazardous by
another Competent Authority. This provision may be used for both domestic and
international shipments.
147 This entry applies to non-sensitized
emulsions, suspensions, and gels consisting
primarily of a mixture of ammonium nitrate and fuel, intended to produce a Type
E blasting explosive only after further
processing prior to use. The mixture for
emulsions typically has the following composition: 60-85% ammonium nitrate; 5-30%
water; 2-8% fuel; 0.5-4% emulsifier or
thickening agent; 0-10% soluble flame suppressants; and trace additives. Other inorganic nitrate salts may replace part of the
ammonium nitrate. The mixture for suspensions and gels typically has the following composition: 60-85% ammonium nitrate; 0-5% sodium or potassium perchlorate; 0-17% hexamine nitrate or
monomethylamine nitrate; 5-30% water; 2-
15% fuel; 0.5-4% thickening agent; 0-10%
soluble flame suppressants; and trace additives. Other inorganic nitrate salts may replace part of the ammonium nitrate. These
substances must satisfactorily pass Tests
8(a), (b) and (c) of Test Series 8 of the UN
Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part I, Sec-

Section 172.102

tion 18 (IBR, see Section 171.7 of this subchapter),
and may not be classified and transported
unless approved by the Associate Administrator.
148 For domestic transportation, this entry
directs to Section 173.66 for:
a. The standards for transporting a single
bulk hazardous material for blasting by
cargo tank motor vehicles (CTMV); and
b. The standards for CTMVs capable of
transporting multiple hazardous materials for blasting in bulk and non-bulk
packagings (i.e., a multipurpose bulk
truck (MBT)).
149 When transported as a limited quantity
or a consumer commodity, the maximum
net capacity specified in Section 173.150(b)(2) of
this subchapter for inner packagings may
be increased to 5 L (1.3 gallons).
150 This description may be used only for
uniform mixtures of fertilizers containing
ammonium nitrate as the main ingredient
within the following composition limits:
a. Not less than 90% ammonium nitrate
with not more than 0.2% total combustible, organic material calculated as carbon, and with added matter, if any, that
is inorganic and inert when in contact
with ammonium nitrate; or
b. Less than 90% but more than 70% ammonium nitrate with other inorganic materials, or more than 80% but less than 90%
ammonium nitrate mixed with calcium
carbonate and/or dolomite and/or mineral
calcium sulphate, and not more than
0.4% total combustible, organic material
calculated as carbon; or
c. Ammonium nitrate-based fertilizers containing mixtures of ammonium nitrate
and ammonium sulphate with more than
45% but less than 70% ammonium nitrate, and not more than 0.4% total combustible, organic material calculated as
carbon such that the sum of the percentage of compositions of ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulphate exceeds
70%.
151 If this material meets the definition of
a flammable liquid in Section 173.120 of this subchapter, a FLAMMABLE LIQUID label is
also required and the basic description on
the shipping paper must indicate the Class
3 subsidiary hazard.
155 Fish meal, fish scrap and krill meal may
not be transported if the temperature at
the time of loading either exceeds 35 SectionC (95
SectionF), or exceeds 5 SectionC (41 SectionF) above the ambient temperature, whichever is higher.
156 Asbestos that is immersed or fixed in a
natural or artificial binder material, such
as cement, plastic, asphalt, resins or mineral ore, or contained in manufactured
products is not subject to the requirements
of this subchapter.
157 When transported as a limited quantity
or a consumer commodity, the maximum
net capacity specified in Section 173.151(b)(1)(i) of
