Defense Transportation Regulation – Part II 10 July 2020 Cargo Movement

II-204-1

CHAPTER 204

HAZARDOUS MATERIAL

A. GENERAL

1. All Department of Defense (DoD) personnel (military, civilians, and contractors) participating in the movement of regulated hazardous materials (HAZMAT) must comply with the rules of regulatory bodies governing the safe transportation of regulated HAZMAT for modes of transportation. For non-national security movements, the labeling, placarding, marking, compatibility, emergency response guidance, and other Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) requirements of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) are applicable to DoD-regulated HAZMAT cargo transported by military or commercially operated conveyances.

Although exceptions are noted in 49 CFR 171, General Information, Regulations, and

Definitions; 49 CFR 173, Shippers-General Requirements for Shipments and Packagings; and 49

CFR 173.7, Government Operations and Materials, it is DoD policy to acknowledge the exception from HMR requirements for United States (U.S.) Government material shipped for national security. DoD personnel will comply with 49 CFR unless otherwise authorized by this regulation or DoD Component/Service/Agency Headquarters (HQ) operational necessity requires

it. For explanations pertaining to shipments for national security, see Paragraph C.4 of this chapter.

2. This chapter contains the policies, procedures, and responsibilities for the movement of DoD-regulated HAZMAT by all modes, military and commercial, operated by DoD-affiliated personnel. Regulated HAZMAT are materials determined by the Department of Transportation

(DOT) to be capable of posing an unreasonable risk to health, safety, and property when transported in commerce. These materials are segregated into classes and divisions and identified in 49 CFR 173.2, Hazardous Materials Classes and Index to Hazard Class Definitions.

Commanders (CDR) and Service HQ may apply more stringent requirements. Policies, procedures, and responsibilities for movement of regulated HAZMAT by military air shipment are identified in Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 24-204. For purposes of this regulation, the terms ammunition, explosives, and munitions are synonymous. Also, the term HAZMAT includes all regulated HAZMAT, including ammunition, explosives, and munitions.

3. The U.S. Army Technical Escort Unit (TEU) provides the DoD and other federal agencies with a unique, immediate response capability for chemical and biological warfare material. The TEU missions include worldwide response for escorting, packaging, detection, monitoring, rendering-safe, disposing, sampling, and mitigating hazards and identifying weaponized and non-weaponized chemical, biological, and regulated HAZMAT. For all matters related to emergency response capabilities for chemical and biological warfare material, call the 20th Chemical

Biological Radiological Nuclear and High Yield Explosive Command (CBRNE) at (410) 436-

6200 or Defense Switched Network (DSN) 584-6200, or the Public Affairs Office at (410) 436-

6455 or DSN 584-6455.

4. All matters establishing, amending, and/or clarifying DoD HAZMAT rules and regulations will be referred to Theater CDRs or DoD Component/Service/Agency HQ. HAZMAT issues requiring coordination or further handling by federal regulatory agencies will be forwarded through Service HQ to HQ Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC)

Safety, ATTN: AMSSD-SA (HAZMAT), 1 Soldier Way, Building 1900 West, Scott AFB, IL

62225-5006, (618) 220-5040 or DSN 770-5040.

5. Services/Agencies are authorized to apply more stringent requirements but not authorized to prescribe less stringent requirements than in this regulation unless based on operational necessity.

II-204-2

6. Each activity involved in the transport of HAZMAT will consult with local level Environmental, Safety and Occupational Health staff to evaluate HAZMAT transportation risks in accordance with (IAW) DoD Directive (DoDD) 4715.1E, Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health

(ESOH).

B. RESPONSIBILITIES

Chapter 205.

j. Ensure Advance Transportation Control and Movement Documents

(ATCMD)/Transportation Control and Movement Documents (TCMD) are completed IAW

Chapter 203. ATCMD/TCMDs for export airlift munitions shipments will be sent to the

Service Airlift Clearance Authority and Joint Munitions Transportation Coordinating Activity

(JMTCA) (SFSJM-LIT). Prior to the movement of munitions to the aerial port of embarkation, aerial port clearance will be obtained from the JMTCA.

k. Trace munitions (Class 1) shipments when they are not received 4 hours after the estimated time of arrival and report all discrepancies on a Transportation Discrepancy Report IAW

Chapter 210 of this regulation.

l. Report overage, shortage, damage, and other transportation-type discrepancies, IAW Chapter

210.

m. Furnish a quarterly DOT-SP/CAA usage report to the Service/Agency HAZMAT focal points listed in Figure 204-2, who will in turn consolidate all such usage reports and forward them to

SDDC Safety (Figure 204-1).

n. Shippers and carriers who receive shipping papers must retain a copy or an electronic image for at least 2 years after shipment thereof that is accessible at or through its principal place of business and must make the shipping paper immediately available upon request to an authorized official of a federal, state, or local government agency at reasonable times and locations.

o. When preparing materiel for shipment using multiple modes (e.g., airlift, sealift, and line-haul) of transportation, package materiel to ensure the integrity of the package is sustainable during handling and transferring between modes. Ensure the package is prepared in compliance with all the applicable regulations for the modes the package will travel (e.g., if shipping materiel to/from multiple zones globally, ensure all documents are included to support all modes).

4. Retention of Shipping Papers by Shippers. For HW, a copy of each shipping paper must be retained for 3 years after the initial carrier accepts the material for shipment. For all other

HAZMAT, a copy of each shipping paper must be retained for 2 years or the same period as the requirement to maintain the shipment’s BL after the initial carrier accepts the material for shipment. For radioactive materials, shipping papers associated with shipments and receipt of radioactive materials must be retained for 3 years, IAW 10 CFR 71, Packaging and

Transportation of Radioactive Material and 10 CFR 71.91, Records. Each shipping paper copy must include the date of acceptance for shipment by the initial carrier. The date on the shipping paper may be the date a shipper notifies the carrier that a shipment is ready for transportation, as indicated on the waybill or BL, as an alternative to the date the shipment is picked up, or accepted, by the carrier. Shipping papers must also be retained IAW this section or by

Service/Agency regulatory requirements if the latter are more stringent than the requirements https://www.phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat/erg/emergency-response-guidebook-erg

II-204-5

above. Services/Agencies are not authorized to prescribe less stringent requirements than in this regulation unless based on operational necessity.

a. Original vouchers and support documents covering commercial freight charges of settled fiscal accounts, including registers and other control documents, but excluding those covered by item b below, will be maintained for a period of 6 years.

b. Records covering payment for commercial freight charges for services for which:

(1) Notice of overcharge has been or is expected to be issued, or if a rail freight overpayment is involved;

(2) Deduction or collection action has been taken;

(3) The voucher contains inbound transit shipments(s);

(4) Parent voucher has print of paid supplemental bill associated;

(5) The voucher has become involved in litigation; or

(6) Any other condition arises, such as detection of overcharge, which prevents the settling of the account, requiring the voucher to be retained beyond the 6-year retention period will be maintained for a period of 10 years.

C. REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS

1. This applies to all regulated HAZMAT.

a. Ammunition or explosives may not be shipped in uploaded and ready-to-fire configuration over public highways, via rail, vessel, or commercial/military aircraft except as approved by

DOT-SP or Military air waivers.

b. Regulated DOT HAZMAT will be shipped in United Nations (UN)-, DOT-, or DoD-approved packages.

2. Commercial Surface and Air Movement. Military shippers arranging transportation of HAZMAT must comply with local, state, federal (49 CFR), and international laws and regulations and Status of Forces Agreement, STANAG, HN, and DoD Component/Service/Agency HQ publications.

Appendix S contains procedures for transporting government-owned or privately owned small arms, ammunition, and HAZMAT aboard commercial aircraft in scheduled service or DoD-owned or controlled aircraft. DoD or contractor personnel who fail to comply may be liable for civil and criminal personal liability penalties for violations.

3. Military Airlift. Requirements for military aircraft and commercial aircraft under contract to the

AMC operating under DOT-SP 7573 and 9232 are covered in AFMAN 24-204. Appendix S contains procedures for transporting government-owned or privately owned small arms, ammunition, and HAZMAT aboard commercial aircraft in scheduled service or DoD-owned or controlled aircraft. See DTR Part II, Appendix Q, Paragraph I, for Chapter 3 approval requests.

4. Shipments for National Security. The provisions of 49 CFR 173.7(b) may only be used under a special program approved by the Service or DoD Component/Service/Agency HQ. The program will provide equal or better protection than the normal DoD/Service/DOT rules during transport.

The approving official will be at the general officer level or equivalent. The approving official will sign the memorandum that certifies that the shipments made within the specific program are in support of national security. A copy of the memorandum will be in the possession of the person who is in charge of the security escort team.

II-204-6

5. Military Vehicle Surface Movement.

a. Installation (Other Than Public Highway). The Services will determine the requirements for on-installation transportation of regulated amounts of HAZMAT as defined in 49 CFR

172.101, Purpose and Use of Hazardous Materials Table. At a minimum, the

Services/Agencies will address operator training, driver licensing, minimum blocking and bracing requirements, and emergency notification procedures for incidents and/or accidents on roads controlled by the Services/Agencies. A road is considered controlled by the

Services/Agencies if access to the road is restricted at all times through the use of gates and guards.

b. Installation (Public Access). Comply with the requirements of Paragraph C.2 when moving

HAZMAT over uncontrolled roads. A road is considered uncontrolled by the

Services/Agencies if it is used by the general public with no DoD affiliation.

c. Off-Installation. Transportation units and Service tactical and combat units must adhere to the requirements of 49 CFR when moving HAZMAT over public highways for the purpose of transportation. Installation CDRs will develop procedures for the movement of HAZMAT on installation or government roads and over public highways IAW or more stringent than 49

CFR and this regulation if tactical or combat units travel on roads accessible to civilians, family members, military personnel, or contractors. Transportation and security requirements for movements of HAZMAT by forces performing their functional requirements shall be determined IAW DoD Component policy and established guidelines. Those functions shall maintain accountability and control of all HAZMAT in their possession until such items are consumed or returned to the installation-approved storage locations. OCONUS movements comply with HN requirements.

d. Intra-Facility. The EPA exempts manifest requirements for all intra-facility/on-installation

HW shipments, as defined by 40 CFR 261.3. If a HW shipment is made on a public or private right-of-way that is within or along the border of the installation, an EPA manifest, otherwise required under 40 CFR 262, Standards Applicable to Generators of Hazardous

Waste and 49 CFR 172.205, Hazardous Waste Manifest, is not required; however, Material

Safety Data Sheets are still required. DoD has also adopted these standards for intra-facility/on-installation shipments of HW. However, DD Form 2890, Figure 204-11, and any other forms (e.g., DD Form 1348-1A, Issue Release/Receipt Document, Figure 204-13, and

DA Form 3161, Request for Issue or Turn-In, Figure 204-8) describing the HW must accompany the shipment to aid in tracking and managing HW while on installation. HW being transported off installation must comply with all DoD, DOT, and EPA transport requirements. UN packaging is not required for on-installation movement of HAZMAT and

HW unless prescribed by the Service/Agency Standard Operating Procedures or local regulation, but is required for all off-installation movement unless packaged IAW procedures described in Paragraph H below.

6. Brokers, freight forwarders, shipper agents, third-party logistics providers, and other such parties are not authorized to transport material under a Transportation Protective Service (TPS) or 675 services (see Chapter 205, Paragraph B).

7. The shipper or person who stuffs the container and has been designated by the CDR to certify

HAZMAT cargo will sign the DD Form 2890, Figure 204-11, and the DD Form 2781, Container

Packing Certificate or Vehicle Packing Declaration, Figure 204-12.
