Sec. 101-42.405  Transportation of hazardous materials.



    The transportation of hazardous materials is governed by the 

hazardous materials regulations (49 CFR parts 170-180) issued by the 

Department of Transportation. Except as otherwise provided below, an 

agency official, prior to the transportation of hazardous materials, 

shall certify on the shipping document, based on his/her own 

examination, that the materials are properly classified, described, 

packaged, marked, and labeled and are in proper condition for 

transportation in accordance with the hazardous materials regulations. 

The shipper shall provide such certification in duplicate and give one 

copy to the originating carrier and retain the other for no less than 1 

year. Hazardous materials sold by the Department of Defense (DOD) in 

packings not marked under the hazardous materials regulations may be 

shipped from DOD installations, provided DOD certifies in writing on a 

certificate or equivalency (COE) that the packing meets or exceeds 

requirements of the hazardous materials regulations.
