Hazardous Materials<br />
<strong>Regulations</strong><br />
Hazardous material regulations are found in Title 49 <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Code <strong>of</strong> Federal <strong>Regulations</strong>. Title 49 is written by the<br />
U.S. Department <strong>of</strong> Transportation and only applies to<br />
commercial transport.<br />
Title 49 includes all U.S. DOT regulations, not just hazardous<br />
material regulations. Hazardous material regulations<br />
are found specifically in Subchapter C, Part 171 through<br />
178. DOT Title 49 CFR can be a tremendous aid to responders.<br />
In addition to the information which was just<br />
covered for highway transportation, 49 CFR also covers<br />
transportation by air, rail, and water. Information such as<br />
tank construction material, working pressures, and types <strong>of</strong><br />
relief and control devices can be researched in this CFR.<br />
To identify titles, parts, and sections, use the following<br />
guidelines.<br />
49 CFR 172.101<br />
(Title) (Part) (Section)<br />
The hazardous material table is found in Title 49 <strong>of</strong> the Code<br />
<strong>of</strong> Federal <strong>Regulations</strong> (CFR), Part 172, Section 101.<br />
