In\nyour email, you note that § 177.834(l)(1) specifies that a motor vehicle equipped with a cargo\nheater of any type may transport Class 1 (explosive) materials only if the cargo heater is rendered\ninoperable. You ask whether there is a provision in the HMR that permits limited quantities of\n“UN0012, Cartridges, small arms, 1.4S” to be transported in a motor vehicle equipped with a\ncargo heater that is fully functioning and active.\nThe answer is no. There are no provisions in the HMR that allow limited quantities of “UN0012,\nCartridges, small arms, 1.4S” to be transported in a motor vehicle equipped with an operable\ncargo heater.\nI hope this information is helpful. Please contact us if we can be of further assistance.\nSincerely,\nT.
