The Petroleum Marketers Association of America (“PMAA”) and its state chapter The Arkansas Oil Marketers Association (“AOMA”) published in their June 15th newsletters a reminder regarding the United States Department of Transportation Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (“PHMSA”) Annual Hazardous Materials Registration.

Both PMAA and AOMA state that PHMSA:

. . . requires hazardous material transporters to register and pay a fee for annual registration in return for a Certificate of Operation. PHMSA began mailing the 2017-2018 registration information to HAZMAT transporters in April. Only those with expiring DOT PHMSA HAZMAT registration certificates must re-register before July 1, 2018, or risk losing authority to operate and pay a substantial penalty.

The organizations also provide a reminder that the validity of Hazmat registration certificates is checked at roadside inspections.
