Dear Dr. Martin:

This is in response to your letter dated May 18, 2007 concerning the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Registration Program as specified in 49 CFR Part 107, Subpart G. According to your letter, your company uses hydrogen gas for cooling at your facility. A carrier delivers hydrogen in 250 ft trailers and removes the empty trailers.

Provided you do not offer or transport the hydrogen described in your letter, you are not required to register. "Person who offers or offeror" is defined in § 171.8 as a person who performs, or is responsible for performing, any pre-transportation function required under this subchapter for transportation of the hazardous material in commerce or who tenders or makes the hazardous material available to a carrier for transportation in commerce. In addition, "carrier" is defined in § 171.8 to mean a person who transports passengers or property in commerce by rail car, aircraft, motor vehicle, or vessel.

I hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

John A. Gale
