Dear Mr. Stiger:
This responds to your letter concerning the transportation of combustible liquids to Hawaii from the continental United States in accordance with the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180).
Your questions are in relation to the transport of hazardous materials by air. In coordinating our response with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), we have learned that you are a hazardous materials inspector employed by the FAA. While the hazardous materials regulations (HMR) are promulgated by the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), they are enforced separately by each Operating Administration (including FAA). In your official oversight role as an air-mode government inspector, you may be subject to policies, restrictions, and guidance issued by FAA beyond any guidance PHMSA may provide you. We recommend that you provide your questions concerning the HMR to your FAA supervisor so they can be forwarded via the chain of command to PHMSA for consideration. Use of the chain of command in this situation is designed to ensure that inspectors operating in a particular mode of transport receive consistent guidance at approximately the same time.
Thank you for your interest in hazardous materials transportation safety.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
