Mr. Samuel S. Elkind Reference No. 05-0223
Corporate Regulated Goods Manager
United Parcel Service (UPS)
55 Glenlake Parkway, N.E.
Atlanta, GA 30328
Dear Mr. Elkind:
This responds to your September 9, 2005 letter concerning design changes planned for UPS drop boxes in the United States. Specifically, you ask whether your design changes for the hazardous materials warning statement for your drop boxes comply with
§ 175.26(d)(l) of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
According to your letter and the August 30, 2005 meeting with this Office to discuss UPS’s preliminary design changes, you are planning to redesign your hazardous materials warning statement on your U.S. drop boxes, specifically to be located on the front of the package receiving chute. You do not plan to remove the statement currently posted within the supply box; however, you are planning to add a new warning statement to the exterior of your drop boxes. Upon review of your enclosed life-size mock-ups of your proposed design changes, it is the opinion of this Office that your proposed design changes for your warning statement on your drop boxes do comply with § 175.26(d)(l) requirements.
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
