Dear Sergeant Stern:
This is in response to your letter on April 22, 1999, requesting clarification on the applicability of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-18.) to U.S Air Force vehicles traveling on public highways.
The transport of hazardous materials in military vehicles operated by military personnel solely for noncommercial military purposes are not subject to the HMR. This also applies to the transport of hazardous material by other government agencies. However, if the or if the purpose commercial or if the government entity offers hazardous material for transportation to commercial carriers, then the HMR would apply.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact this office.
Sincerely,
Thomas G. Allen
Acting Director, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards
