[pct-l] aquamira drops shipping and availability

[Bill Burge]

I've heard that many times over the years. 

I have never found any formal reference to support that, except maybe some USPS documents on the shipment of it via air.  (Those things are a nightmare! ;-)  

Do you have references to what parts of the CAEPA regs and articles?  I've always been curious.
