The Hazardous Materials Regulations live in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-49\/subtitle-B\/chapter-I\/subchapter-C\" rel=\"noopener\">49 CFR Parts 100\u2013185<\/a>. Carriers transporting hazmat in quantities requiring placards or transporting select agents, certain explosives, radioactive materials, or any quantity of certain chemicals must register with PHMSA under <strong>49 CFR Part 107 Subpart G<\/strong> and obtain a Hazardous Materials Safety Permit when applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond federal registration, several states (Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and others) require their own hazmat permits with separate filings. Drivers handling hazmat need a hazmat endorsement on their CDL with TSA security threat assessment. Vehicles need proper placarding, shipping papers, and emergency response information per Part 172. Insurance minimums under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-49\/subtitle-B\/chapter-III\/subchapter-B\/part-387\" rel=\"noopener\">49 CFR \u00a7 387.9<\/a> increase to $1M, $5M, or
