HAZMAT CDL Practice Test

(A) Means the hazardous material described in Column 2:

1. is not regulated

2. is subject to HMR only when offered

3. is fully regulated

4. is exempt from reporting

The correct answer is: is subject to HMR only when offered

The correct choice indicates that the hazardous material described is subject to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) only when it is offered for transport. This means that there are specific circumstances under which the regulations apply, typically when the materials are being prepared for shipment. It recognizes that not all materials are continuously regulated throughout their entire lifecycle; they may only come under regulatory scrutiny at the point of transport preparation. The other options present different scenarios. The option of being "not regulated" would imply that the material is outside the jurisdiction of the HMR entirely, which is not true for materials described in Column 2; they do have conditions under which they are regulated. Being "fully regulated" would suggest that the material is under HMR's jurisdiction at all times, contrary to the notion that it is only during transportation. Lastly, being "exempt from reporting" denotes that the material has no requirements under the HMR, which contradicts the premise that certain regulations apply when the material is being offered for shipment. Each of these alternatives does not accurately reflect the conditions specified in the original description.
