Dear Mr. Wadlinger:
This is in response to your November 3, 2014 letter requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to the transportation of hazardous waste. Specifically, you ask if a person who offers a hazardous waste for transportation must meet the requirements of the HMR regardless of what state they are in.
Unless specifically excepted or authorized by the HMR, the transportation of a hazardous material in commerce must be in compliance with the applicable requirements of the HMR regardless of the state. Section 171.2 states that each person who offers a hazardous material for transportation in commerce must comply with all applicable requirements of the HMR. The definition of commerce" in § 171.8 includes transportation within the jurisdiction of the United States within a single state (intrastate) and transportation between a place in a state and a place outside of the state (interstate).
I trust this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Shane C. Kelley
