THE LETTERS

摘要

This is in response to your August 8, 2011, and September 20, 2011 telephone conversation with a member of my staff on behalf of one of your law firm's clients, a moving company, concerning the interstate transportation of scuba tank cylinders and oxygen tank cylinders under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). You state that while moving a household, the moving company refused to transport two scuba-tank cylinders belonging to its client because the company did not know whether the cylinders contained a hazardous material and with which regulations they must comply.
