49 CFR 173.427(a)(3)

["Roy A. Parker" <70472.711@compuserve.com>]

There is no inconsistency nor need to adjust the Federal Register.
 
49 CFR 173.427(a)(3) permits you to classify fissile materials as LSA or
SCO and package such materials in Industrial Packaging.
 
Fissile exempt is a completely separate issue.
 
> What  justification are  shippers using for LSA shipments with fissile
> excepted material?
     If a  material  is  "fissile  exempt"  then  it  loses  it  fissile
     classification  and   reverts  to   any  of  the  other  applicable
     radioactive material classifications pursuant to 49 CFR 173.453.

Subject: 49CFR 173.427 (a)(3)
 
49CFR 173.427 (a)(3)LSA material and SCO that are or contain fissile
material must meet the applicalble requirements of 173.451 and
173.467.
 
Section 173.451 use to be fissile exempt requiements and is not used
presently. What justification are shippers using for LSA shipments with
fissile excepted material?
 
The section is 173.453 Fissile materials - exceptions but is not
referenced in 173.427. Looks like another error caused by HM-169 nobody
caught. Time for a Federal register adjustment.
