Specifically, you ask if the movement of hazardous materials on a restricted road between hangar and terminal locations at Chicago O'Hare International Airport is subject to the HMR. Based on the information you provided, the answer is no. The HMR govern the safe transportation of hazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. Transportation of hazardous materials exclusively on private property, to which signs, gates and guard stations prevent public access, is not subject to the HMR. I hope this satisfies your request.
