Section 175.85 (c) (establishes exceptions, when other modes of transportation are not practicable) to the accessibility requirement of § 175.85 (b) and to the quantity limitation requirements of § 175.75 (a) (for hazardous materials that are acceptable to both cargo and passenger aircraft).
When packages or overpackages containing hazardous materials have been transported in a unit load device, the area where the load unit device was stored should be inspected for leaks or contamination immediately after removing the load unit device from the aircraft, and the packages or overpackages should be inspected for any evidence of damage or leakage when the unit load device is unloaded. At a minimum, the segregation instructions prescribed in the segregation table in § 175.78 must be followed to maintain acceptable segregation between packages containing hazardous materials with different hazards. A package without orientation marks containing liquid hazardous materials must be stored and loaded with the top seal facing upwards.airlines, indirect airlines and cargo carriers, as well as their employees, agents and contracted personnel (including personnel receiving, handling, loading and unloading cargo, passengers and baggage), both on and off flights; and. Section 175,700 prohibits, in addition to other requirements, a person from carrying on a passenger aircraft any package that must be labeled in accordance with § 172,403 with a RADIOACTIVE YELLOW II or III label, unless certain provisions are met.

The NPRM clarified that the exceptions applicable to COMAT shipments apply only to an airline carrying “its own replacement items.” This final rule clarifies the applicability of part 175; clarifies regulatory exceptions for operator equipment and supplies, special aircraft operations, and passengers and crew members; reviews separation distances for shipping radioactive materials on cargo aircraft; and updates regulations to meet the safety requirements of special permits for explosives.
The Alaska Air Carrier Association states that the provision of Class 1 materials supports a variety of interests in Alaska, such as construction and mining, communities that organize fireworks shows, and people who travel in remote cabins, airlines, indirect airlines, and cargo transportation companies and their employees, agents, and subcontracted personnel (including personnel receiving, handling, loading and unloading cargo, passengers, and baggage), both from flights and other than flights ; andiii) The total quantity of these hazardous materials carried by each person cannot exceed 2 kg (70 ounces) in mass or 2 L (68 liquid ounces) in volume and the capacity of each container cannot exceed 0.5 kg (18 ounces) in mass or 500 ml (17 liquid ounces) in volume.
