Which statement correctly applies the federal rules on when a carrier must hold a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit (HMSP)?

Answer options

Why

Only certain high-risk shipments require an HMSP, including a highway route-controlled quantity of radioactive material, more than 55 pounds of Division 1.1 explosives, and liquefied methane in bulk packaging with a capacity of 3,500 gallons or more. A bulk tank with a 3,000-gallon capacity is below that threshold, and 30 pounds of a Division 1.1 explosive is under the 55-pound limit.
