Dear Ms. Smith:
This is in response to your letter dated February 25, 2003, requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you requested information on who is considered a offeror of hazardous material and thus subject to the DOT hazmat training requirements in Part 172, Subpart H.
Functions of an offeror include, but are not limited to the following: selection of the packaging for a hazardous material, physical transfer of hazardous materials to a carrier, classifying hazardous materials, preparing shipping papers, reviewing shipping paper to verify compliance with the HMR or international equivalents, signing-hazardous material certifications on shipping papers, placing hazardous materials markings or placards on vehicles or packages, and providing placards to a carrier. Therefore, a company that performs offeror functions, such as the closing of packages, is a hazmat employer and is subject to § 172.704.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A Gale
