Dear Mr. Moskowitz:

This is in response to' your September 15, 2003, letter regarding the applicability of the in-depth security training requirements specified under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). Specifically, you ask if the in-depth security training requirements are applicable to all hazmat employees or only those hazmat employees whose job functions involve having access to and handling of materials covered by the security plan.

The requirement for in-depth security training is limited to hazmat employees who handle hazardous materials covered by a security plan or are responsible for ~mplementation of a security plan. In-depth security training must include company security objectives, specific security procedures, employee responsibilities, actions to take in the event of a security breach, and the organizational security structure.

I hope this satisfies your request.

Sincerely,

John A.Gale
Transportation Regulations Specialist
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
