Dear Chief Warrant Officer Zagurski:
This is in response to your letter regarding the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to the transport of compressed gases solely for military purposes in Department of Defense-owned and-operated vehicles.
The transport of hazardous materials in military or government vehicles operated by military or government personnel solely for noncommercial purposes is not subject to the HMR. However, if the purpose is commercial, or if the government entity offers hazardous materials for transportation to commercial carriers, then the HMR would apply.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if you require additional assistance.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
