Dear Ms. Houser:
This is in response to your February 5, 2002 letter requesting clarification of § 172.204 of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if the shipping papers given to and retained by a secondary carrier must contain the shipper's certification.
The answer is no. In accordance with §177.817(b), the shipper is required to provide the initial highway carrier with a shipping paper that includes a signed shipper's certification. Any subsequent highway carrier that transports the same hazardous material shipment is not required to be provided with or maintain the shipper's certification; however, secondary carriers must maintain a shipping paper that otherwise conforms to Part 172, Subpart C.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
Delmer F. Billings
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
