Mr. John H. Hawn

Ref. No. 08-0160
Dear Mr. Hawn:
This responds to your May 12, 2008 letter requesting clarification on the registration
requirements in 49 CFR Part 107, Subpart G. Specifically, you ask if you must register and
pay a registration fee.
According to your letter, you are a gas distributor for Sinclair. Your dealers order fuel, which
is delivered to them by Sinclair in Sinclair's trucks. The gas delivery is billed to you and you
collect payment from the dealers. You do not own gas stations nor do you operate the motor
vehicles that deliver gas.
In accordance with 49 CFR 107.60 1, shippers and carriers of certain quantities of hazardous
materials must register with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and
pay a registration fee. Because you are neither a shipper nor a carrier, based on the
information provided in your letter, it is the opinion of this Office that you are not subject to
the registration requirements.
1 I hope this answers your inquiry.
I Sincerely,
Susan Gorsky
Regulations officer
Office of Hazardous Materials Standards
