Ref. No. 13-0144

Dear Mr. DiMeo:

This is in response to your letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR 171-180) applicable to the non-commercial transportation of display fireworks.  Specifically, you ask whether such transportation by you is subject to the HMR.

The answer is no.  As provided by § 171.1(d)(6), the transportation of a hazardous material by an individual for non-commercial purposes in a private motor vehicle, including a leased or rented motor vehicle, is not subject to the HMR.
     
I trust this information is helpful.  Please contact us if you require further assistance.

Sincerely,

T. Glenn Foster
Chief, Regulatory Review and Reinvention Branch
Standards and Rulemaking Division

171.1(d)(6)
