Dear Mr. Farmer:
Thank you for your letter dated August 28, 2002, requesting information under the Freedom of
you seek does not fall under the Freedom of Information Act.
Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, concerning the Hazardous Materials Regulations. The information
Under the authority of the Federal Hazardous Materials Transportation Law [49 U.S.C. 5101-5127],
the Secretary of Transportation has the authority to promulgate regulations that govern the
transportation of hazardous materials in commerce. The Research and Special Programs
Administration is the agency in the Department of Transportation responsible for promulgation of
regulations governing the transportation of hazardous materials in commerce.
The Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) are found in Title 49, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts
100-185. The HMR apply to any person, including a department, agency, or instrumentality, that
transports or causes to be transported or shipped hazardous materials in interstate, intrastate, and
foreign commerce, by all modes of transportation (i.e., highway, rail, air, and vessel).
The HMR do not contain information on how specific hazardous chemicals (i.e., diethylmagnesium,
classification, packaging, preparation of shipping papers, marking, labeling, placarding, emergency
response information and training. Persons responsible for compliance with the HMR must be trained
and certified to perform functions related to preparing hazardous materials for transportation in
page at the following URL: http://hazmat.dot.gov. The HMR may be obtained from the U.S.
commerce. Information concerning the transportation of hazardous materials can be found on our wet
Government Printing Office Bookstore or for viewing at our web site.
The Department's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is responsible for the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), Parts 200-399, addressing maintenance and use of motor carrier
(NRHM). Federal standards for establishing, maintaining or enforcing specific NRHM routing
vehicles, including driving and parking rules and routing of non-radioactive hazardous materials
designations over which NRHM may or may not be transported is found in 49 CFR 397.71. Except

for radioactive materials, the HMR nor the FMCSR preclude States or other jurisdictions from
determining appropriate routes for NRHM, such as through tunnels. Therefore, you must contact the
State(s) you are interested in to determine whether or not NRHM may pass through its tunnels.
Thank you for your interest in hazardous materials transportation safety.
Sincerely,
