Dear Ms. Terry:
This is in response to your letter dated July 13, 2000, regarding U.S. DOT Hazmat Registration Number recordkeeping requirements for a motor carrier subject to the requirements in Part 107, Subpart G. You stated in your letter that many propane marketers in Texas received advice from the Propane Gas Association that the U.S. DOT Hazmat Registration Number need not be posted on the outside of the vehicle. You further stated that a copy of the certificate of registration containing the registration number need only be maintained inside the vehicle.
Your understanding is correct. A copy of the current certificate of registration, or other document bearing the current year's registration number identified as the "U.S. DOT Hazmat Reg. No.," must be kept on board the vehicle and need not be posted on the outside of the vehicle. Under § 107.620(b), every truck, truck tractor or vessel that meets the registration criteria must have this Proof of registration. In addition, copies of the registration statement and the certificate of registration must be kept for three years at your principal place of business and must be available for inspection (§ 107.620(a)).
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
