Competent Authority Approvals (CAA).
CAAs are used on OCONUS
HAZMAT shipments when the 49 Code of Federal Regulations (49 CFR) speci±es
the packaging must comply with the shipper’s national CAA, when the package
of materials exceeds the non-bulk packaging criteria, or when the packaging
conflicts with the prescribed packaging of the modal regulations. A CAA issued
for international shipments may also be used for domestic shipments.
•
Department of Transportation Special Permit (DOT-SP).
DOT-SPs are
used for HAZMAT shipments within the continental United States that are not
authorized by 49 CFR. It provides authority to use a design-type package without
further testing.
•
CertiFcate of Equivalency (COE).
A COE is issued when an alternate
packaging design from the one prescribed in 49 CFR is used. A COE may be used
for domestic shipments of HAZMAT. It may also be used for OCONUS shipments
if the airport of destination is a DoD activity and the material will not leave the
activity. A COE certi±es that the proposed packaging design equals or exceeds the
requirements of 49 CFR for the commodity being shipped.
•
Military Air Transportation Waiver (MILAIR Waiver).
A MILAIR Waiver is
issued for either packaging or compatibility. A packaging or compatibility MILAIR
Waiver is needed when a HAZMAT shipment does not meet the requirements of
