49 CFR 173.415(a) requires that each shipper of a DOT Specification 7A Type A
package must maintain on file for at least one year after the latest shipment
a complete documentation of tests and an engineering evaluation or comparative
data showing that the construction methods, packaging design, and materials of
construction comply with the specification as described in 49 CFR 178.350.

What types of engineering analysis are licensees who transport nuclear gauges
off-site performing in regard to the requirement, and what sort of records are
you keeping.  The Type A packages that I'm referring to are the one's supplied
originally by the manufacturer (CPN and Troxler).

Any input is appreciated.
