case as set forth in your September 2,1981 memorandum (copies furnished earlier to Regional Enforcement Coordinators). Our agreement is primarily based on the 00T interpretation of 49 CFR 173.392(d), shipment of bulk LSA caterial, that states, "any packaging of your choice may be used, provided there is compliance with all requirements of S173.392(d)." The D07 interpretation is stated in their letter to the licensee dated May 4,1981, attached.

Whether or not shipment records indicate that individual drums were the intended containers is not relevant here because of DOT's interpretation.
