Annual Hazmat Registrations for 2019-2020 Registration Year Due July 1

BACKGROUND: The U.S. DOT's Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) requires hazardous material transporters to register and pay a fee each year in return for a certificate of operation. PHMSA began mailing the 2019-2020 registration information to HAZMAT transporters earlier this month. Only those with expiring DOT PHMSA HAZMAT registration certificates must re-register before July 1, 2019 or risk losing authority to operate and pay substantial civil penalty.

PMAA members should check their HAZMAT certificate for the expiration date as multiple year reservations are offered and 2019 may not be your expiration date. The validity of HAZMAT registration certificates is checked at roadside inspections.
