Dear Dr. Fox:
This is in response to your May 24, 2004 letter concerning emergency response information requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Your questions are paraphrased and addressed as follows:
Ql: Must the emergency response information required under § 172.602 include information regarding non-hazardous material that is loaded on the vehicle with the hazardous material?
Al: No. Section 172.602 does not require emergency response information regarding non-hazardous materials that is loaded on a transport vehicle with hazardous materials. Emergency response information must be provided only for the applicable hazardous materials as specified in § 172.600.
Q2: Do the HMR contain any requirements for emergency responders on how to handle an incident based on the emergency response information specified in § 107.602?
A2: No. Although the HMR specify the emergency response information that must be provided to emergency responders, the HMR do not specify guidelines on how the emergency responders must use that information.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale’
