Is anyone exempt from the registration and fee requirements under the Hazardous Materials Registration Program?

Yes, the following are excepted from the requirements:

• An agency of the federal government;
• A state agency;
• An agency of a political subdivision of a state;
• An employee of any of the above agencies;
• A hazmat employee (including the owner-operator of a motor vehicle that transports hazardous materials and is leased to a registered motor carrier under a 30-day or longer lease or an equivalent contractual relationship); and
• A person domiciled outside of the U.S., who offers solely from locations outside the U.S., hazardous materials for transportation in commerce, provided the country in which the person is domiciled does not require U.S. persons to register or pay a fee.
