"On deck under cover." "Tween decks readily accessible."

Metal rivets, each containing No label required. Stowage: not more than 375 milligrams of explosive composition placed in one end. Do not stow in same compartment with inflammable liq. uids, inflammable solids and oxidizing materials, corrosive liquids or inflammable compressed gases.

Each outside container will be plainly marked: "Explosive rivets."

Used to actuate the valves on remotely controlled fire extinguishers.

Do not stow in the same com. partment with inflammable liquids, inflammable solids or oxidizing materials, corrosive liquids or inflammable compressed gases. Each outside container must be plainly marked "Fire Extinguisher Actuating Car tridges-Handle Carefully." Common fireworks are fire

works devices suitable for use by the public and designed primarily to produce visible effects by combustion. Some small devices designed to produce audible effects are also included in this class. The types, sizes and amount of pyrotechnic contents of these devices are limited as enumerated in this paragraph. No component, of any device listed in this paragraph, which produces or is intended to produce an audible effect shall contain pyrotechnic composition in excess of 2 grains in weight; nor shall such device or component, upon functioning, project or disperse any metal, glass or brittle plastic fragments. (Propelling or expelling charges consisting of a mixture of sulfur, charcoal and saltpeter are not considered 88 designed to produce audible effects.) Any new device, not enumerated in this paragraph, must be approved by the DOT before being offered for transportation as common fireworks. Common fireworks must be in a finished state exclusive of mere ornamentation as supplied to the retail trade and must be so constructed and packed that loose pyrotechnic composition will not be present in packages in transportation. Fireworks, other than common fireworks as defined in this paragraph and those forbidden for transportation by 146.20-3 are classed as special fireworks (see: Class B explosives).
