Specifically, you ask if the movement of radioactive materials along a 0.7 mile section o\nHighway Rt. 650 that is under the control of Dominion's armed security force is subject to the HMR.\nBased on the information you provided, the answer is no. The HMR govern the safe transportation of\nhazardous materials in intrastate, interstate, and foreign commerce. Transportation of hazardous\nmaterials exclusively on private property, to which signs, gates and guard stations prevent public\naccess, is not subject to the HMR.\nI hope this satisfies your request.\nSincerely,\nSusa Jidf\nSusan Gorsky\nSenior Transportation Regulations Specialist\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standard:\n1711\n030151\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\n06/25/2003 12:35\n7573652668\nSPS EXPOSURE CONTROL\nPAGE\n92\nSupko\n-\n51?1.1\nDonig General Sury: VA 29993\nDominion\nApplicabitity\n03-0151\nOffice of Hazardous Materials Standards\nMr. Edward Mazzullo, Director\nJune 25, 2003\n4007 Street SW\nWashington, DC 20590\nDear Mr. Mazzullo:\nDominion Generation - Surry Power Station requests clarification as to the applicability\nof Hazardous Materials Regulations, 49CFR parts 171-180, at our facility.\nSurry Power Station is a nuclear fueled, electric generating station.
