§ 172.338 Replacement of identification numbers.

If more than one of the identification number markings on placards, orange panels, or white square-on-point dis-play configurations that are required to be displayed are lost, damaged or de-stroyed during transportation, the car-rier shall replace all the missing or damaged identification numbers as soon as practicable. However, in such a case, the numbers may be entered by hand on the appropriate placard, or-ange panel or white square-on-point display configuration providing the correct identification numbers are en-tered legibly using an indelible mark-ing material. When entered by hand, the identification numbers must be lo-cated in the white display area speci-fied in § 172.332. This section does not preclude required compliance with the placarding requirements of subpart F of this subchapter.
