Dear Mr. MacLean:
This is in response to your letter dated June 8, 2007 concerning the placarding requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) and driver licensing and endorsement requirements. Specifically, you ask (1) if placards are required to be displayed on 2,500 lb. super sacks containing sulfur powder when offered for transportation in commerce; and, (2) if a driver carrying this hazardous material must have a commercial driver"s license (CDL) with a hazmat endorsement.
A bulk packaging containing sulfur is not required to be placarded if it is marked with the appropriate identification number as required by Part 172, Subpart D (see § 172.102, special provision 30). In addition, Class 9 placards are not required to be displayed for domestic transportation (see § 172.504(f)(9)).
Requirements for drivers to possess a CDL with a hazmat endorsement are maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in 49 CFR Part 383. Questions regarding FMCSA regulations should be directed to the appropriate FMCSA field office. A list of FMCSA field offices and contact information is available at:

I hope this information is helpful.
Sincerely,
John A. Gale
