FMCSA Updates Hazmat Route Registry

Posted on 6/8/2020 by Lauren Scott

Last week the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) released new updates to the National Hazardous Materials Route Registry (NHMRR). The June 3, 2020 Federal Register notice revises the registry to reflect changes that were reported to FMCSA from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.

What is the National Hazmat Route Registry?

The NHMRR is a listing of all United States road and highway designations and restrictions concerning the transport of hazardous materials by motor vehicle.

The restrictions apply to motor vehicles transporting hazardous materials in commerce for which placards are required. The regulations at 49 CFR 5112(a) and (b) also allow US DOT's Secretary to extend the route restrictions to any vehicle that transports a hazardous material in commerce.

Hazmat routes are reported by State and Tribal governments to ensure hazmat, logistics, and safety personnel can plan the safest route for hazmat transportation by highway. FMCSA published the full registry April 2015 and there have been three revisions since. The last update was made on September 24, 2019.

The instructor was great, explaining complex topics in terms that were easily understandable and answering questions clearly and thoroughly.

I tried other environmental training providers, but they were all sub-standard compared to Lion. I will not stray from Lion again!

The instructor took a rather drab set of topics and brought them to life with realistic real-life examples.

Excellent class, super instructor, very easy to follow. No rushing through material. Would like to take his class again.

Lion provided an excellent introduction to environmental regulations, making the transition to a new career as an EHS specialist less daunting of a task. Drinking from a fire hose when the flow of water is lessened, is much more enjoyable!

I attended training from another provider and learned absolutely nothing. Lion is much better. Hands down.

I can take what I learned in this workshop and apply it to everyday work and relate it to my activities.

Lion's course was superior to others I have taken in the past. Very clear in the presentation and the examples helped to explain the content presented.
