Dear Mr. Brown:
This responds to your October 29, 2010 request for clarification on the materials of trade (MOT) exception under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). According to your letter, your company is a small auto dealership that delivers a small quantity of Class 9 items, e.g., seat belts/air bags by your own van, along with other auto parts. You ask if these activities performed by your non transportation-related company qualify for the MOT exception.
The answer is yes. The HMR define a MOT as hazardous material, other than a hazardous waste, that is carried on a motor vehicle by a private motor carrier in direct support of a principal business that is other than transportation by motor vehicle. Provided all requirements of § 173.6 are met, you may utilize the MOT exception for the transportation of the Class 9 materials, including seat belts/air bags.
I hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, please contact this Office at 202-366-8553.
Sincerely,
Ben Supko
