Mr. Michael J. Pangia, P.C. Reference 05-0201
1717 N. Street, N.W.
Washington, DC 20036-2801
Dear Mr. Pangia:
This responds to your letter concerning the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to the transportation of hazardous materials aboard a private aircraft. Your letter indicates that you plan to purchase an aircraft, refurbish it and use it to transport passengers. Hazardous materials will be transported on this aircraft for the purpose of eventually placing it in passenger service. You ask if such hazardous materials are subject to the HMR.
The answer is yes. Transportation of hazardous materials aboard an aircraft in the above described scenario would be subject to the HMR because the hazardous materials are clearly being transported in furtherance of a commercial purpose. We suggest that you contact the Federal Aviation Administration concerning any additional operating requirements that may apply when placing an aircraft in passenger service.
I hope this satisfies your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Hattie L. Mitchell
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
