DOE-HDBK-1129-99
49 CFR 173.413 - Requirements for Type B packages.
Each Type B(U), or Type B(M) package must be designed and constructed to meet the
applicable requirements in 10 CFR 71.
49 CFR 173.403 - Definitions
Type B(U) package means a Type B packaging that, together with its radioactive contents, for
international shipments requires unilateral approval only of the package design and of any
stowage provisions that may be necessary for heat dissipation.
Type B(M) packaging means a Type B packaging, together with its radioactive contents, that
for international shipments requires multilateral approval of the package design, and may
require approval of the conditions of shipment. Type B(M) packages are those Type B
package designs which have a maximum normal operating pressure of more than 700
kilopascals per square centimeter (100 psi gauge) or a relief device which would allow the
release of Class 7 (radioactive) material to the environment under the hypothetical accident
conditions specified in 10 CFR Part 71.
49 CFR 173.471 - Requirements for U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)-approved
packages.
In addition to the applicable requirements of the NRC and parts 49 CFR 171 through 177, any
shipper of a Type B, Type B(U), Type B(M), or fissile material package that has been approved
by the USNRC in accordance with 10 CFR 71 shall also comply with the following
requirements:
-- The shipper shall be registered with the NRC as a party to the approval, and shipment must
be made in compliance with the terms of the approval;
-- The outside of each package shall be durably and legibly marked with the package
identification marking indicated in the NRC approval;
-- Each shipping paper related to the shipment of the package shall bear the package
identification marking indicated in the NRC approval;
-- Before the first export shipment of the package, the shipper shall obtain a U.S. Competent
Authority Certificate for that package design, or, if one has already been issued, the shipper
shall register with the U.S. Competent Authority as a user of the certificate. Upon
registration as a user of the certificate, the shipper will be furnished with a copy of it. The
shipper shall then submit a copy of the U.S. Competent Authority Certificate applying to
that package design to the national competent authority of each country into or through
which the package will be transported, unless a copy has already been furnished;
-- Each request for a U.S. Competent Authority Certificate as required by the IAEA
regulations shall be submitted in writing to the address set forth in paragraph (e) of this
section. The request shall be in duplicate and include copies of the applicable NRC
approval and a reproducible drawing showing the make-up of the package. Each request
is considered in the order in which it is received. To allow sufficient consideration by the
Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, requests should be received at
least 45 days before the requested effective date;
-- Import and export shipments may be made in accordance with 49 CFR 171.12.
