The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) addressed in a December 30, 2024, Interpretive Letter, the application of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (“HMR”) applicable to hazardous material placards. See Reference No. 24-0087.
PHMSA was responding to a request from HQ-Joint Munitions Command (“HQ”) from Rock Island, Illinois.
HQ asked whether it is permitted to print or produce its own hazardous material placards instead of purchasing placards from a company provided the placards adhere to the requirements found in § 172.519.
PHMSA responds in the affirmative, stating that there is no requirement to acquire placards from a vendor or company. As a result, HQ is permitted to print or produce its own placards provided the placards meet the placard specification requirements found in § 172.519.
