Subpart C_Specific Regulations Applicable According to Classification of 
                                Material
 
Sec.  175.630  Special requirements for Division 6.1 (poisonous) material 
and Division 6.2 (infectious substances) materials.

    (a) A package required to bear a POISON, POISON INHALATION HAZARD, 
or INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE label may not be carried in the same compartment 
of an aircraft with material which is marked as or known to be a 
foodstuff, feed, or any other edible material intended for consumption 
by humans or animals unless:
    (1) The Division 6.1 or Division 6.2 material and the foodstuff, 
feed, or other edible material are loaded in separate unit load devices 
which, when stowed on the aircraft, are not adjacent to each other; or
    (2) The Division 6.1 or Division 6.2 material are loaded in one 
closed unit load device and the foodstuff, feed or other material is 
loaded in another closed unit load device.

    (b) No person may operate an aircraft that has been used to 
transport any package required to bear a POISON or POISON INHALATION 
HAZARD label unless, upon removal of such package, the area in the 
aircraft in which it was carried is visually inspected for evidence of 
leakage, spillage, or other contamination. All contamination discovered 
must be either isolated or removed from the aircraft. The operation of 
an aircraft contaminated with such Division 6.1 materials is considered 
to be the carriage of poisonous materials under paragraph (a) of this 
section.
    (c) When unloaded from the aircraft, each package, overpack, pallet, 
or unit load device containing a Division 6.2 material must be inspected 
for signs of leakage. If evidence of leakage is found, the cargo 
compartment in which the package, overpack, or unit load device was 
transported must be disinfected. Disinfection may be by any means that 
will make the material released ineffective at transmitting disease.
