Dear Mr. Gartmann:
This responds to your July 7, 2008 letter requesting clarification of the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) to non-commercial shipments. Specifically, you ask whether the HMR apply to aviation fuel transported on a tow dolly trailer and used to fuel your privately owned helicopter. You state that the helicopter is used for personal transportation only.
The answer is no. The HMR do not apply to hazardous materials transported by an individual for non-commercial purposes in a private motor vehicle. See 49 CFR 171.1(d)(6).
I hope this answers your inquiry.
Sincerely,
Susan Gorsky
Acting Chief, Standards Development
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
