Dear Mr. Martillotta:

This responds to your recent letter concerning the Hazardous Materials Registration Program.  Specifically, you ask whether separately incorporated, wholly owned subsidiaries of a company are required to register as separate entities.

The answer is yes.  The registration and fee requirements established in 49 CFR Part 107, Subpart G, apply to any person who offers for transportation or transports hazardous materials subject to the applicability criteria in § 107.601. The definition of  “person”  includes a firm, co-partnership, corporation, company, association, or joint-stock association (see 49 CFR 171.8). Separately incorporated subsidiaries of a parent company must register individually.  Thus, for the scenario described in your letter, Companies A, B, C, D, and E must each file a registration statement and pay the appropriate registration fee.  Each company should use the Small Business Administration size criteria in 13 CFR 121.201 applicable to its own revenues or number of employees and not the aggregate figure for all affiliates to determine if it may register as a small business.

I hope this information is helpful.  If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.

Sincerely,

 

Thomas G. Allan
