No. 10-0234\nDear Mr. Brown:\nThis responds to your October 29,2010 request for clarification on the materials of trade (MOT)\nexception under the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180). According to\nyour letter, your company is a small auto dealership that delivers a small quantity of Class 9 items,\ne.g., seat belts/air bags by your own van, along with other auto parts. You ask if these activities\nperformed by your non transportation-related company qualify for the MOT exception.\nThe answer is y~s. The HMR define a MOT as hazardous material, other than a hazardous waste,\nthat is carried on a motor vehicle by a private motor carrier in direct support of a principal business\nthat is other than transportation by motor vehicle. Provided all requirements of § 173.6 are met, you\nmay utilize the MOT exception for the transportation ofthe Class 9 materials, including seat belts/air\nbags.\nI hope this answers your inquiry. If you need additional assistance, please contact this Office at 202366-8553.\nSincerely,\n1i-:5~\nBen Supko\nActing Chief, Standards Development Branch\nStandards and Rulemaking Division\n\n<<<PAGE 2>>>\n\nDrakeford, Carolyn (PHMSA)\nFrom: INFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nSent: Friday, October 29, 2010 1 :27 PM\nTo: Drakeford, Carolyn (PHMSA)\nCc: DerKinderen, Dirk (PHMSA); Lucas, Adam CTR (PHMSA)\nSubject: FW: Hazmat Safety Feedback: Other\nHi Carolyn,\nWe received the following request for a formal letter of interpretation at the Info Center.\nThanks,\nVictoria Lehman\n282-366-HB5\n-----Original Message----From:\nHMIS (PHMSA)\nSent: Friday, October 29, 2818 6:31 AM\nTo: INFOCNTR (PHMSA)\nSubject: FW: Hazmat Safety Feedback: Other\n-----Original Message----From:\nPHMSA-Feedback [mailto:PHMSA-Feedback]\nSent: Thursday, October 28, 2818 18:02 AM\nTo: HMIS (PHMSA); PHMSA Webmaster\nSubject: Hazmat Safety Feedback: Other\nWritten interpretation requested.
