Regulatory oversight is provided within the US DOT by the Pipeline Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA).

SCOs are not regulated for shipment if contamination is below the definition of contamination in 49 CFR 173.403. SCOs are also exempt from classification as radioactive material if the total activity on the surface can be demonstrated to be less than the activity limit for an exempt consignment (see 49 CFR 173.401(b)(5) as of 2014, and DOT interpretations 05-0145 dated July 1,2005, and 08-0012 dated May 7,2008 available on the PHMSA website, http //www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/regs/interps). 

Shippers will sometimes encounter a shipment for which there is no reasonable and compliant shipping approach. The shipment may require a variance or waiver in the regulations to allow for the use of alternative packaging or test procedures. Special permits can be obtained for such shipments, and can be used repetitively. The permits and the application process are described in 49 CFR 107 Subpart B, beginning in 49 CFR 107.101. Shippers can obtain their own unique permit or can request party status to utilize an existing permit (see 49 CFR 107.107). A library of existing special permits is maintained on the RAMPAC and PHMSA websites.
