Dear Mr. Thinnes:
This is in response to your letter of August 05, 2003, concerning the definition of “transportation in commerce" under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Intra-plant movement of a hazardous material that takes place within a contiguous plant boundary is not subject to the HMR. However, movement that utilizes or crosses a public road is subject to the HMR during that portion of the movement.
I hope this satisfies your request.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
