Another credential that is only required for some companies is the Hazardous Materials Registration. This is issued by the Pipehne and Hazardous Materials Administration (PHMSA), another agency within the DOT. The Hazardous Materials Registration must be completed by all carriers (for-hire and private) that transport amormts of hazardous materials that require placarding (referred to as placardable amormts ). 

The company must complete a DOT Form 5800.2 and submit it to PHMSA, pay the necessary fee (the fee depends on the size of the operation), and then keep a copy of the registration letter or a document with the registration nrunber in all of the company vehicles that are transporting placardable amounts of hazardous materials. Operationally, it is best to simply keep a copy of the registration letter in all vehicles that could transport placardable amounts of hazardous materials. 

In addition to the Motor Carrier Identification Report (MCS-150) covered earlier, carriers that desire to haul hazardous materials for the oil and gas industries, including their finished products, need to be registered with the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). To do so, they use the Hazardous Materials Registration Statement (DOT F 5800.2) and may be required to have a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP). 

Federal hazardous material transportation regulations. Sections 107.601 through 107.620 requires carriers of certain hazardous materials, including hazardous wastes, to file a registration statement with the U.S. Department of Transportation and to pay an annual registration fee. The program is administered by PHMSA. 

Copies of the Certificate of Registration with the PHMSA statement and the certificate of registration must be kept for three years at the principal place of business and must be available for inspection. Motor carriers and vessel operators must also have on board a copy of the current certificate of registration, or another document bearing the current year s registration number identified as the U.S. DOT Hazardous Materials Reg. No. Every truck or truck tractor or vessel used for the transportation of a hazardous materials that meets the registration criteria must have this proof of registration on board. 

PHMSA has the primary responsibility for the issuance of DOT Special Permits and Approvals to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). These are documents that authorize a person to perform a function that is not currently authorized under the authority of the HMR. Also, in many instances, the regulations require approvals and/or registrations prior to transportation in commerce. At the current time, installation of the newer composite pipes in regulated pipelines requires special permits for each project.
