Dear Mr. Bartley:
This letter is in response to your February 22, 2016, email requesting clarification of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) applicable to exceptions for vehicles transported by vessel. Specifically, you seek clarification of your understanding that vehicles shipped in accordance with § 176.905(i)(3) are excepted from the remainder of the HMR and are not required to comply with § 176.905(a)(2).
Your understanding is correct. The HMR provide modal exceptions under § 173.220(b)(4)(ii) for vehicles transported by vessel that conform to the requirements of § 176.905. Shipments of vehicles transported in accordance with § 176.905(i)(3) are only subject to United States Coast Guard regulations and are excepted from the HMR.
I hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.
Sincerely,
T. Glenn Foster
