The annual registration fees for the 2004-2005 registration year are

$150 for each person meeting the Small Business Administration’s

(SBA) size standard for a small business and for not-for-profit

organizations, and $300 for all other persons. A complete table of

fees for single and multiple-year registration is supplied on page 12

of this brochure.

The changes adopted in final rules published in the Federal Register

on September 16, 2002, and January 9, 2003, remain in effect:

• The annual registration fees for the 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and

2005-2006 registration years were reduced to $150 for each person

meeting the SBA size standard for a small business and for notfor-profit organizations, and $300 for all other persons. This

was done to eliminate an unexpended balance in the special U.S.

Treasury account into which the registration fees are paid and

from which the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness

Grants are made. (The annual fees for registration years 1992-

1993 through 2002-2003 remain at the previously established

amounts.) Beginning in 2006-2007, when we anticipate that the

unexpended balance will be eliminated, the fees will increase to

$275 for persons meeting the SBA size standard for a small

business and for not-for-profit organizations, and $1,000 for all

other registrants. The increased fee for the 2006-2007 registration

year is included in the total fee for a multiple-year registration

that includes this year, as shown in the table on page 12.

• A new fee category for not-for-profit organizations was

established. A not-for-profit organization is an organization

exempt from taxation under 26 U.S.C. 501(a).

• RSPA also adopted the Small Business Administration's use of

the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS)

codes to determine whether a registrant meets the SBA size

standard for a small business. Registrants are to supply the

NAICS code that represents the major business activity of the

registrant.

Instructions & Form DOT F 5800.2

For Registration Year 2004–2005

This packet contains information outlining registration requirements applicable to persons who offer or transport hazardous materials in

commerce. You should read the section "Who Must Register" on page 3 to determine whether your company must comply. If your

company generates hazardous waste, please read the section "Requirements for Hazardous Waste Generators" on page 4 to determine

whether your company is required to register.

You may register by using one of the following methods:

• Register through the Internet as explained on page 11 of this

brochure.

• Complete form DOT F 5800.2 (revised 3/04) and mail it with

payment of the appropriate fee to the address given on the

printed form.

• Register by telephone through the expedited procedures

described on page 11 of this brochure.

Please also note:

• Prior years. The Hazardous Materials Registration Program

has been in effect since the 1992-1993 registration year. Your

company must register for prior years if (1) it engaged in

activities that required registration during those years, and (2) it

failed to register. See page 8.

• Each "person" must register. The Hazardous Materials

Registration requirements apply to a "person," which includes

each separate corporation, partnership, or association, as well

as a sole proprietorship. Registration is not required for each

vehicle that you operate or for each facility or terminal operated

by a single "person." See the discussion of "Person" on page 3.

• Mailings. If you received this in the mail, we sent it to you

because your company is currently registered in the Hazardous

Materials Registration Program or appears on one or more of

several lists of companies as an offeror or transporter of

hazardous materials (including hazardous wastes). These lists

were collected primarily from offices within the U.S. Department

of Transportation. While inclusion in any of our source lists is

not an absolute indication that you are required to register, it

does indicate that you may be subject to the registration

requirements.

We also make "follow-up" mailings several weeks after this

information packet is first mailed out, to remind people of the

registration requirements. For both the initial and follow-up

mailings we try to remove duplicate address records from the

lists we use. However, when working with lists from different

sources, it is not always possible to eliminate multiple entries,

especially when a single company appears in different lists under

slightly different names or with different addresses.

Consequently, this packet may have been sent more than once

to a single company or "person." We regret any inconvenience

this may cause.

P Background and Uses of the Fee

Under the federal hazardous material transportation law (49 U.S.C.

5101 et seq.), certain offerors and transporters of hazardous materials,

including hazardous waste, are required to file a registration

statement with the U.S. Department of Transportation and to pay an annual fee. This program began in 1992 and is administered by the

Associate Administrator for Hazardous Materials Safety, Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA). The registration

regulations are found at 49 CFR 107.601-107.620.

The fee provides funds for grants distributed to states and Indian tribes for hazardous materials emergency response planning and

training through the Hazardous Materials Emergency Preparedness Grants Program. For use in FY 2004, 50 states, the District of

Columbia, five territories, and ten Indian tribes received grant awards totaling $12.8 million. These grants support planning and training

of emergency personnel to respond to incidents involving hazardous materials. Grants are used to train, in part, approximately 140,000

emergency responders each year. In addition, $1.75 million in grants have been made to the International Association of Fire Fighters to

support its hazardous materials instructor train-the-trainer program. The fees are also used to publish the Emergency Response Guidebook.

Your fee is helping communities prepare for hazardous materials incidents or other emergencies that may occur.

A. Agencies of the federal government.

B. Agencies of states.

C. Agencies of political subdivisions of states.

D. Employees of those agencies listed in [A], [B], or [C] with

respect to their official duties.

E. Hazmat employees, including the owner-operator of a motor

vehicle that transports hazardous materials in commerce if that

vehicle, at the time of those activities, is leased to a registered

motor carrier under a 30-day or longer lease as prescribed in

49 CFR Part 376 or an equivalent contractual relationship.

F. Persons domiciled outside the United States whose only activity

involving the transportation of hazardous materials within the

United States is to offer hazardous materials for transportation

in commerce from locations outside the United States, if the

country in which they are domiciled does not impose registration

or a fee upon U.S. companies for offering hazardous materials

into that country. However, persons domiciled outside the

United States must register if they transport the types and

quantities of hazardous materials that require registration within

the United States.

G. Farmers who offer or transport only hazardous materials that

are used in direct support of their farming operations and who

are not engaged in activities included in 49 CFR 107.601(a)(1)

through (a)(5), that is, Categories A through E described in

“Activities Requiring Registration” above. See “Requirements

for Farmers” below.

Clarifications:

The registration requirement applies to all persons who (1) engage

in interstate, intrastate, or foreign commerce; (2) engage in any of

the activities discussed in “Activities Requiring Registration”

above; and (3) are not specifically excepted from the requirement.

Each person who acts as an intermediary in the transportation of

hazardous materials, such as a freight forwarder or agent, is subject

to the registration requirements if that person performs or contracts

to perform any of the functions of an offeror of hazardous materials.

Each U.S. company engaged in a specified hazardous materials

activity that is (1) incorporated separately from a parent company,

(2) under the majority stock ownership of another company, or

(3) a wholly owned or controlled subsidiary of another company,

is required to register even when the parent company is also subject

to registration.

You must also register if you engage in any of the activities

discussed in “Activities Requiring Registration” above, and are:

1. A merchant vessel carrier transporting, transiting, or

transhipping hazardous materials within 12 miles of the U.S.

coast; or

2. A federal, state, or local government contractor.

Requirements for Farmers:

1. If you are a farmer who offers or transports only hazardous

materials that (a) are used in direct support of your farming

activities and (b) are not included in Categories A through E of

“Activities Requiring Registration” above, you are not required

to register.

P Who Must Register?

Each person* as defined by the federal hazardous material

transportation law that engages in any of the activities requiring

registration must register. See the discussion of person below for

exceptions to the requirement.

*Underlined words are defined on pages 3 - 6.

Activities Requiring Registration:

A person who, between July 1 of a year and June 30 of the following

year, offers or transports in commerce any of the following categories

of hazardous materials (including hazardous wastes) must register

with RSPA for that twelve-month period (Note: the letters identifying

each of the following sections represents the “category” of activity

used on the Registration Statement):

A. A highway route controlled quantity of a Class 7 (radioactive)

material, as defined in 49 CFR 173.403.

B. More than 25 kilograms (55 pounds) of a Division 1.1, 1.2, or

1.3 (explosive) material (see 49 CFR 173.50) in a motor vehicle,

rail car, or freight container.

C. More than one liter (1.06 quarts) per package of a “material

extremely toxic by inhalation” (that is, a “material poisonous by

inhalation,” as defined in 49 CFR 171.8, that meets the criteria

for “hazard zone A” as specified in 49 CFR 173.116(a) for gases

or 173.133(a) for liquids).

D. A hazardous material (including hazardous wastes) in a bulk

packaging having a capacity equal to or greater than 13,248 liters

(3,500 gallons) for liquids or gases or more than 13.24 cubic

meters (468 cubic feet) for solids. Please note that under this

provision persons who offer or transport hazardous materials that

do not require placarding (that is, Class 9 materials) in a bulk

packaging with a capacity greater than 3,500 gallons or 468 cubic

feet, must register.

E. A shipment in other than a bulk packaging of 2,268 kilograms

(5,000 pounds) gross weight or more of one class of hazardous

materials (including hazardous wastes) for which placarding of a

vehicle, rail car, or freight container is required for that class.

F. A quantity of hazardous material that requires placarding. The

offering and transporting of hazardous materials by farmers in

direct support of their farming operations are excepted from this

category of activities requiring registration. See the section

“Requirements for Farmers” below.

Since the beginning of the program in 1992, activities in Categories

A through E have required registration by law. Category F was

added by regulation beginning with the 2000-2001 registration year.

Person:

A person is defined by federal hazardous material transportation

law as including an individual, firm, copartnership, corporation,

company, association, joint-stock association, including any trustee,

receiver, assignee, or similar representative thereof, or government,

Indian tribe, or agency or instrumentality of any government or Indian

tribe when it offers hazardous materials for transportation in

commerce or transports hazardous materials to further a commercial

enterprise. However, the following are specifically excepted by

statute or regulation from the registration requirements:

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
4

2. If you are a farmer who offers or transports hazardous materials

that require placarding that are not in direct support of your

farming operation, you must register and pay the appropriate

registration fee. For example, a farmer who offers or transports

home heating fuel for commercial purposes in quantities

requiring placarding must register.

3. If you are a farmer who offers or transports for any purpose any

of the hazardous materials included in Categories A through E

of “Activities Requiring Registration” on page 3, you must

register and pay the appropriate registration fee. For example,

if you transport 55 lbs or more of a Division 1.1 explosive, even

if the explosive is to be used in direct support of your farming

operations, you must register.

Requirements for Hazardous Waste Generators:

Hazardous waste generators are subject to the registration

requirement if they offer or transport hazardous wastes in the

quantities that require registration. All hazardous wastes subject

to the Hazardous Waste Manifest Requirements of the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency are hazardous materials. In July

2000 the number of hazardous waste generators required to register

significantly increased when the regulations were revised to require

registration of all persons who offer or transport a quantity of

hazardous materials that requires placarding.

Any person who performs any of the activities of an offeror, which

include signing the shipping paper (hazardous waste manifest), for

a quantity that requires placarding must register. Depending on

the type of packaging (container) and the amount of waste being

removed at one time, even generators of relatively small quantities

of hazardous waste may be subject to the registration requirement.

A hazardous waste generator must register if it:

1. offers or transports any amount of a waste other than Division

6.2 or Class 9 materials (which do not require placarding) in

bulk packagings (for example, a cargo tank, a tank car, or a bulk

transport vehicle); or

2. offers or transports any amount of a Division 6.2 or Class 9

material in bulk packagings with capacities equal to or greater

than 3,500 gallons or 468 cubic feet; or

3. offers or transports hazardous waste in other than bulk

packagings (any container with a capacity of less than 119

gallons, for example, a 55 gallon drum) if a single shipment

contains 1,000 pounds or more of one or more classes of

hazardous waste that require placarding. Please note that it is

the amount of material being removed from a site in non-bulk

packagings at one time that triggers the registration requirement

for the generator, not the amount of material that is contained in

total on the truck, part of which may have been shipped by

another hazardous waste generator.

Placarding:

Placarding requirements are found in 49 CFR Part 172, Subpart F.

The requirements are summarized as follows:

1. Except for Division 6.2 and Class 9 materials, any quantity of a

hazardous material offered for transportation or transported in

a bulk packaging requires placarding.

2. For materials offered for transportation or transported in a nonbulk packaging, the quantity that requires placarding depends

on whether the material is in a class or division included in Table

1 or Table 2 below:

Table 1 (Placard any quantity)

Note: Infectious substances, hazardous materials classed as ORMD, hazardous materials authorized to be offered for transportation

as Limited Quantities when identified as such on shipping papers,

hazardous materials prepared in accordance with 49 CFR 173.13,

hazardous materials which are packaged as small quantities under

the provisions of 49 CFR 173.4, combustible liquids in non-bulk

packagings (see 49 CFR 172.500(b)), and materials offered or

transported under the "materials of trade" exception (see 49 CFR

173.6) are excepted from the placarding requirements.

P Definitions

Bulk Packaging:

A bulk packaging is a packaging, other than a vessel or a barge,

with (1) a maximum capacity greater than 450 liters (119 gallons)

as a receptacle for a liquid; (2) a maximum net mass greater than

400 kilograms (882 pounds) and a maximum capacity greater than

450 liters (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or (3) a water

capacity greater than 454 kilograms (1000 pounds) as a receptacle

for a gas (see 49 CFR 171.8).

The extension of the registration requirement to any placarded

shipment basically over-rides activities that require registration in

categories D and E. Hazardous materials (particularly Class 9
5

hazardous wastes) that do not require placarding but are transported

in bulk packagings with capacities greater than 3,500 gallons or

468 cubic feet require registration under category D. However,

shipments of hazardous materials that do not require placarding

(for example, Class 9 materials), placed in bulk packagings with

capacities less than 3,500 gallons or 468 cubic feet, do not require

registration.

It is important to note that the use of bulk packagings requires

registration no matter how small the quantity of hazardous materials

actually offered or transported. For example, persons who have

hazardous waste picked up in tank trucks, and persons who return

unpurged tank trucks or rail tank cars from which they have unloaded

hazardous materials so that the tanks still contain residues of

hazardous materials when returned, must register under the

provisions of Category F (or Category D if the material is a Division

6.2 or Class 9 material).

Calendar Year:

Although the registration year extends from July 1 of a year through

June 30 of the following year, a calendar year is used to report

activity in item 7 of the registration statement, “Prior-Year Survey

Information.” This calendar year is the twelve-month period

(January 1 through December 31) immediately preceding the

beginning date of the registration year (or years) for which you are

filing the registration statement. You are asked to supply information

on your activities in calendar year 2003 on the statement submitted

for 2004-2005 (or 2004-2006, or 2004-2007). The use of the preceding

calendar year in reporting activity provides a definite and verifiable

(rather than speculative) basis for this section of the form.

Farmer:

The term “farmer” means a person engaged in the production or

raising of crops, poultry, or livestock (49 CFR 171.8).

Highway Route Controlled Quantity:

The criteria for determining whether a shipment of radioactive

material is a “highway route controlled quantity” are found in 49

CFR 173.403, which further references 49 CFR 173.435. Please

note that any shipment of a “highway route controlled quantity” of

a radioactive material, whether by highway, rail, air, or water,

subjects the offeror and carrier to the registration requirement.

If you think you are an offeror or carrier of highway route controlled

quantities, please review the defining criteria carefully. Shipments

of highway route controlled quantities must be specifically identified

as such by the offeror on the shipping papers (see 49 CFR

172.203(d)(4)).

Modes:

The four modes of transportation that are covered under the

Hazardous Materials Regulations, including the registration

requirement, are highway, rail, air, and water. Highway

transportation includes all interstate, intrastate, and foreign

shipments that meet the registration criteria and are not specifically

excepted by regulation. Water transportation does not include

hazardous materials loaded or carried on board a vessel without

benefit of containers or labels and received and handled by the

vessel carrier without mark or count. This type of shipment, for

which the vessel becomes the container, such as LNG or oil tanker

vessels, falls under the authority of the U.S. Coast Guard, now part

of the Department of Homeland Security.

Not-for-Profit Organization:

A Not-for-Profit Organization is an organization exempt from taxation

under 26 U.S.C. 501(a). This category of registrant was first

established for the 2003-2004 registration year. Not-for-profit

organizations registering for years before 2003-2004 must pay the

fee appropriate to the SBA size category (small or not-small)

according to the SBA size standard established for the NAICS code

of its primary business activity.

Offeror:

An offeror is a person who ships hazardous materials in commerce,

or a person who acts as an intermediary in the transportation of

hazardous materials (such as a freight forwarder or agent) if the

intermediary performs any of the functions of an offeror of

hazardous materials. Functions of an offeror, besides shipping,

include, but are not limited to: selecting the packaging for a

regulated hazardous material, physically transferring a hazardous

material to a carrier, determining the hazard class of a hazardous

material, preparing shipping papers, reviewing shipping papers to

verify compliance with the hazardous materials regulations or their

international equivalents, signing hazardous materials certifications

on shipping papers, placing hazardous materials markings or

placards on vehicles or packages, and providing placards to a carrier.

A formal interpretation of the terms “offeror” and “transporter” as

related to the registration requirements was published in the Federal

Register on October 28, 1992, pages 48739 - 48741. Further

clarification of the term “offeror” was supplied in the Final Rule

published in the Federal Register on February 14, 2000, page 7304.

In item 7 of the registration statement, you are asked to indicate

whether you operated as a “Shipper,” “Carrier,” or “Other” during

the calendar year preceding the beginning of the registration year.

Persons who act as intermediaries should mark “Other” (marking

“Shipper” or “Carrier” as well, if appropriate).

Shipment:

The term “shipment” as used in the registration regulations means

the offering or loading of hazardous material at one loading facility

using one transport vehicle, or the transport of that transport vehicle

(see 49 CFR 107.601(c)).

Small Business:

A person is a “small business” if its size does not exceed the size

standard established by the U.S. Small Business Administration

(SBA) in 13 CFR 121 for the primary commercial activity of the

person (company).

Since the 2000-2001 registration year, the amount of the annual

registration fee has depended on whether the registering company

meets the SBA size standard for a small business. The SBA assigns

a size standard, which is expressed, with a few exceptions, either as

the number of employees or as the gross annual receipts of the

company, for each industry group. In registration years 2000-2001,

2001-2002, and 2002-2003, we used the SBA size standard assigned

to the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code for each industry

group identified in the SIC system. In a rulemaking published in the

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
6

Federal Register on September 16, 2002, (67 FR 58343) RSPA

adopted the SBA’s use of the North American Industry Classification

System (NAICS) codes as the basis for establishing size standards.

You are to report the NAICS code that represents the major business

activity of the registering company and use this code to determine

whether your company qualifies as a small business.

A representative list of the NAICS code, the corresponding SIC

code(s), and the current size standard for some common hazardous

materials industry groups is given on pages 12 and 15. If your

industry group is not included in this list, see the complete list of

size standards by NAICS code, effective January 28, 2004, at the

SBA Internet site at:

http://www.sba.gov/size/sizetable2002.html

The NAICS system was revised by the Office of Management and

Budget effective January 1, 2002 (referred to as NAICS 2002),

which was adopted by the SBA effective October 1, 2002. Because

some sections of the previous version of the NAICS system were

significantly revised in NAICS 2002, you may want to verify that

the NAICS code you report to us is the correct code.

If you do not know your NAICS code, the SBA provides a search

engine of the NAICS and SIC systems at:

https://eweb1.sba.gov/naics/dsp_naicssearch2.cfm

At this site you can search for a NAICS code, a SIC code, or the

description (example: enter “ethyl alcohol” or “trucking”). The

site displays the NAICS description, NAICS number, SBA size

standard, and the corresponding SIC codes. Because the NAICS

system is more detailed than the SIC system, more than one NAICS

code may be represented on the list if you search by the description

or your SIC number. You will need to determine which description

and NAICS code best reflects your primary business. In some cases

you may need to enter additional words in the “description” box to

narrow the range of selections.

If you need to see the full descriptions of NAICS industry groups,

the Bureau of the Census provides a search tool of the NAICS

2002 system at:

http://www.census.gov/epcd/naics02/

You can enter a NAICS number or a keyword in the search box.

Clicking on the NAICS 2002 code in the results page will display

the full NAICS description. Once you determine which NAICS

code is appropriate to your major business activity, you will need

to go the the SBA size standard site to find the size standard

appropriate for the NAICS code.

The SBA Office of Size Standards Internet site at:

http://www.sba.gov/size/

provides other useful information on the SBA size standards. You

may also call the SBA Office of Size Standards at 202-205-6618

for assistance in determining your company’s industry group and

its size standard.

With a few exceptions, the size standard is either the number of

employees or the gross annual receipts. The number of employees

is defined by SBA as being the average number of employees

(including all individuals employed on a full-time, part-time,

temporary, or other basis) employed during the pay periods in the

preceding twelve months. See 13 CFR 121.106 for the applicable

SBA definition.

Gross annual receipts is defined by SBA at 13 CFR 121.104.

“Receipts” generally means “total income” (or in the case of a sole

proprietorship, “gross income”) plus the “cost of goods sold” as

these terms are defined or reported on Internal Revenue Service

(IRS) federal tax returns. The term, however, excludes net capital

gains or losses, taxes collected for and remitted to a taxing authority

if included in gross or total income, and proceeds from the

transactions between a concern and its domestic or foreign affiliates

(if also excluded from gross or total income on a consolidated return

filed with the IRS). If your company has been in business for three

or more years, the “annual receipts” is the receipts over its last

three completed fiscal years divided by three. For companies in

existence less than three years, the “annual receipts” is calculated

by taking the receipts for the period the company has been in

business divided by the number of weeks in business, multiplied

by 52.

Whether annual receipts or number of employees is the size standard

established for your industry group, you should consider the receipts

or number of employees for the person required to register to

determine whether your company must pay the fee for a “Small

Business” or “Not a Small Business.” The person required to

register may pay the fee appropriate for a small business even though

it may be part of an “entity” (which includes affiliates) that the

SBA does not consider a small business concern for its purposes.

The SBA periodically adjusts its size standards to reflect changes

in industry characteristics. When the SBA adopted the NAICS

system in place of the SIC system in October 2000 a significant

number of size standards were adjusted. If you are registering for

the 2000-2001 year, you may use the SBA size standards for SIC

codes as of September 30, 2000, to determine whether your

company qualified as a small business for that registration year. A

table of these standards is provided at the SBA Internet site at:

http://www.sbaonline.sba.gov/regulations/siccodes/

For all years after 2000-2001, we recommend that you use the

current size standards by NAICS code. Almost all revisions to the

size standards increase the number of employees or annual receipts

that a company may have in order to qualify as a small business. If

you are registering for 2001-2002, 2002-2003, or 2003-2004 and feel

that using the SBA size standards in effect during the year or years

for which you are registering would be to your advantage, you may

do so, but neither SBA nor RSPA maintains helps for determining

the size standards in effect for these years. You are responsible for

demonstrating that the size standard you use is correct for previous

years.

Transportation:

Transportation means the movement of property and loading,

unloading, or storage incidental to the movement (49 U.S.C. 5102

(12)).

P Registration Deadline

The completed 2004-2005 registration statement and payment must

be submitted before July 1, 2004, or before engaging in any of the

activities requiring registration, whichever is later. If you submit

your registration statement by mail, we suggest that you submit it

at least four weeks in advance of the date you will need the

registration certificate in order to allow sufficient time for the

registration to be processed and the certificate produced and mailed

to you. If you need to obtain a registration number immediately,

see the instructions for “Registering Through the Internet” or

“Expedited Registration” on page 11.

P Recordkeeping Requirements

Copies of the registration statement and the certificate of registration

must be kept for three years at your principal place of business and

must be available for inspection. Motor carriers and vessel operators

must also have on board a copy of the current certificate of

registration, or another document bearing the current year’s

registration number identified as the “U.S. DOT Hazmat Reg. No.”

Every truck or truck tractor or vessel you use for the transportation

of a hazardous material that meets the registration criteria must

have this proof of registration on board.

P State Registrations

Some states have hazardous materials registration or permitting

programs that may also apply to you. Registration with RSPA does

not replace state requirements.

P Use The Proper Registration Statement

Because of the changes in the registration requirements in 2003,

you must use a Registration Statement with a “revised” date of 3/03

or 3/04. All forms with earlier revision dates will be returned to you

unprocessed and will therefore delay your registration. A copy of

the Registration Statement, Form DOT F 5800.2 (Revised 3/04), is

supplied in this brochure. You may use this form to register for

years prior to 2004-2005, but for years before 2000-2001, the NAICS

code, the indication of business size, and Category F of the Prior

Year Survey need not be supplied. For years between 2000-2001

and 2002-2003 you do not need to supply the not-for profit status

information and may supply the SIC (Standard Industrial

Classification) code that represents the major industrial activity of

your company in place of the NAICS code.

P Penalties For Failure To Register

The requirement to register with DOT is based on a federal law.

The enforcement of this requirement is conducted cooperatively

by federal, state, and local agencies. Federal, state, or local officials

may impose penalties for failing to register or failing to meet the

recordkeeping requirements.

P Registering As A Non-Resident

If you are not a resident of the United States, you must designate a

permanent U.S. resident to serve as “agent for service of process”

in accordance with 49 CFR 107.7. The name and address of your

agent must be attached to the statement.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
8

If you engaged in any of the hazardous materials activities described in

49 CFR 107.601(a)(1) through (a)(5), that is, those listed on the

statement as categories A through E, in registration years before

2000-2001, or if you engaged in any of the activities described in 49 CFR

107.601(a)(1) through (a)(6), that is, those listed on the statement as

categories A through F, in registration year 2000-2001, 2001-2002,

2002-2003, or 2003-2004, but did not register, you must do so now.

There are twelve prior registration years:

1992-93 (September 16, 1992, to June 30, 1993);

1993-94 (July 1, 1993, to June 30, 1994);

1994-95 (July 1, 1994, to June 30, 1995);

1995-96 (July 1, 1995, to June 30, 1996);

1996-97 (July 1, 1996, to June 30, 1997);

1997-98 (July 1, 1997, to June 30, 1998);

1998-99 (July 1, 1998, to June 30, 1999);

1999-2000 (July 1, 1999, to June 30, 2000);

2000-2001 (July 1, 2000, to June 30, 2001);

2001-2002 (July 1, 2001, to June 30, 2002);

2002-2003 (July 1, 2002, to June 30, 2003); and

2003-2004 (July 1, 2003, to June 30, 2004).

You must file a registration statement and pay the appropriate fee for each

year for which you need to register. For registration years 1992-1993

through 1999-2000, the fee is $300 per year and is not dependent on

the SBA size standard. For these years, you must submit a separate

statement for each of the years for which you are registering. Multiple

year statements are not accepted for registration years 1992-1993

through 1999-2000. For registration year 2000-2001 or 2001-2002 or

2002-2003, the fee is $300 if you meet the SBA size standard for a small

business or $2,000 if you do not meet the SBA standard for a small

business. For registration year 2003-2004, the fee is $150 if you meet

the SBA standard for a small business or are a not-for-profit organization

exempt from taxation under 26U.S.C.501(a), and $300 for all other

persons. See the definition of Small Business for further information on

the size standards for these years. You may combine registrations for

2000-2001 and later years to a maximum of three consecutive registration

years on a single registration statement. A complete table of possible

registration periods and the appropriate fees is given on page 12. Be

very careful to enter the proper registration years at the top of the

statement and pay the proper fee for one, two, or three years. You may

copy and use the form supplied in this booklet to register for any previous

year.

Complete the “Activities” and “States” sections of item 7 of the registration

statement to reflect the type of activities you conducted and the states in

which you conducted them during the calendar year preceding the

beginning of the registration year for which the statement is being filed.

For example, if you are filing for the 2003-2004 registration year, report

the activities you engaged in, and the states in which you offered or

transported hazardous materials, between January 1 and December 31,

2002.

If you are registering for a year between 1992-1993 and 1999-2000, you

do not need to supply the NAICS code, the business category information

(Item 5), or Category F of Item 7 (Prior Year Survey). If you are

registering for a year before 2003-2004 you do not need to supply the

not-for-profit status information.

6. Fees:

2004-2005, 2004-2006, 2004-2007. The

fee structure for registration years 2003-

2004 and following were altered by a Final

Rule published on January 9, 2003, in the

Federal Register. The fees were reduced for

registration years 2003-2004, 2004-2005,

and 2005-2006 to $150 for small businesses

and not-for-profit organizations and to $300

for all other persons. The fees for registration

years 2006-2007 and following were reduced

to $275 for small businesses and not-for-profit

organizations and to $1000 for all other

persons.

If your company meets the SBA size standard

for a small business, or is a not-for-profit

organization, the fee for a single year (2004-

2005) is $150, for two years (2004-2006) is

$275, and for three years (2004-2007) is

organization, the fee for one year (2004-2005)

is $300, for two years (2004-2006) is $575,

and for three years (2004-2007) is $1550.

If your company does not meet the SBA

standard for a small business, is not a not-forprofit organization, and is submitting an

Expedited Follow-Up for the 2004-2005

registration year, the remaining fee is $150.

Enter the amount due for this particular

statement in the place provided for “Total

Amount Due for this Registration.” If you are

the fees appropriate to them. For years

before 2004-2005, please see this table and

the section “If You Have Failed to Register for

Past Years” on page 8 to determine the

appropriate fee. To determine whether your

company qualifies for the small business fee

for registration years 2000-2001 through

2003-2004, see the discussion of Size

Standards under the definition of Small

Business on pages 5-6, or for the fee for Notfor-Profit Organizations, see the definition of

that term on page 5.

Please note that if your payment is less than the

amount due for the registration period you

indicate at the top of the form and the business

type, the registration will not be processed until

full payment has been made. Please check the

Registration Fee Table carefully for the fee

appropriate to the business type and registration

period you indicate.

Payment Options:

a. Enclose a check or money order, identified

as Hazmat Registration Fee, and drawn on

a U.S. bank in U.S. funds, payable to “U.S.

Registration and full fee payment are required

of any person engaging in any of the specified

activities at any time during the registration

year. The fee is not prorated for registrations

submitted after July 1.

You may submit one check in payment for

multiple registration statements. If you send a

single check for multiple statements, please

enter the amount due for each particular

statement in the appropriate place on the

statement.

Be sure to send the payment with the

statement(s). Statements without

payments and checks unaccompanied

by statements will be returned to you

and will significantly delay the processing

of your registration.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

ACTIVITIES: Prior-Year Survey Information

7. Use this part of the form to record your

hazardous materials activities during the

calendar year ending last December 31.

Even if you engaged in none of the hazardous

materials activities described here last year,

but you intend to do so this year, you must

register and pay the appropriate fee (mark

category G).

Item 7 defines six categories of hazardous

materials activities that require registration.

Mark each category that your company

engaged in during the last completed calendar

year. Shipments of materials included in

Categories A, B, C, D, or E should not also be

included in Category F, even though in most

instances such shipments require placarding.

For instance, if your only hazardous materials

activity is carrying more than 55 lbs. of Division

1.1 explosives, you should mark only Category

B - not B and F. If, however, your only activity

is shipping hazardous materials in quantities

that require placarding that are not included in

Categories A through E, mark only Category

F. If you carry both shipments of more than 55

lbs. of Division 1.1 explosives and shipments

of hazardous materials not included in

Categories A through E, not in bulk packagings,

of more than 1,000 lbs. but less than 5,000 lbs.,

you would mark both Categories B and F. If

you are registering for a year prior to

2000-2001, you do not need to mark Category

F even if you engaged in that activity during the

applicable preceding calendar year. Activity

in Category F requires registration only

beginning with Registration Year 2000-2001.

For each of the categories A, B, C, D, E, or F,

that you marked, also tell us for each one:

(1)Shipper, Carrier, Other: Whether you handled

MAILING INSTRUCTIONS

the hazardous materials as a shipper, carrier,

or “other.” Check as many as apply. “Other”

refers to activities other than those of the

“shipper” or “carrier” in which any of the

functions of an offeror or carrier are

performed. See the definition of offeror on

page 5.

(2)States: Which states you operated in with

respect to this hazardous material. Circle

the abbreviation for each state or territory in

which you did business in hazardous

materials. If you checked “carrier,” circle all

states in which you operated as a carrier of

that category of hazardous material. If you

checked “shipper” or “other,” circle only

those states from which you offered

hazardous materials - you need not indicate

states to which or through which the materials

were transported. Registrants operating in

all of the “lower 48” states may circle “48

Contiguous States.” (This excludes Alaska,

Hawaii, the District of Columbia, and our five

territories, which must be circled individually,

if appropriate.) A list of the states and

territories and their abbreviations is provided

on page 8.

Remember, if you did not engage last year in

any of the activities described in categories A

through F, check category G.

CERTIFICATION OF INFORMATION

8. Your signature in item 8 certifies that the information

on this form is true, accurate, and complete. BE

ADVISED that false statements may violate the

law (18 U.S.C. 1001). Complete this part with

2. A DOT registration specialist will provide a temporary

registration number over the phone, which is good

for proving compliance for 45 days from the date

of your call. DOT will mail a temporary registration

letter that serves as proof of payment of the fee,

along with a copy of the registration statement for

you to complete. You must complete the statement

and return it to the address given in the letter within

10 days of receiving the registration package.

Follow the special instructions for “Expedited FollowUp” below and given in the letter. If your company

meets the SBA size standard for a small business

or is a not-for-profit organization, do not resubmit

credit or debit card information or send another

payment. If your company does not meet the

SBA size standard for a small business and is

not a not-for-profit organization, you must either

submit credit/debit card information or enclose a

check or money order for $150 to complete the

payment of the appropriate fee.

3. A certificate of registration with the current

registration number will be sent to you. Use this

number to replace the temporary number given

to you over the phone.

Because the expedited procedures allow only

single-year registrations (for 2004-2005), and involve

the later payment of the remaining $150 fee if your

company does not meet the SBA size standard for

a small business or is not a not-for-profit organization,

we suggest that registration through the Internet

may be a more convenient means of obtaining a

registration number immediately.

REGISTERING THROUGH THE INTERNET

You may register over the Internet at http://

hazmat.dot.gov/register.htm. A link provided at “To

Register On-Line Click Here” takes you to the

Department’s e-commerce site, Do It Yourself. Your

Internet browser must support 128-bit encryption to

use this service. Assistance in checking your browser

version and encryption level and upgrading to the

128-bit encryption versions is provided. Click on

“HAZMAT Registration Applications” in the right-hand

column. The next page is the registration options page,

which allows you to choose “Initial HAZMAT

Registration” or “Renewal of HAZMAT Registration”

under “Registration for years 2000-2001 and

later” or “Registration for years 1999-2000 and

prior” and also offers “Registration Amendment”

and “Hazmat Company Lookup” (at the bottom of

the page). Because of the changes in the registration

requirements and fees beginning with the 2000-2001

registration year and revised again beginning with the

2003-2004 registration year, please be very careful

to select either “Initial HAZMAT Registration” or

“Renewal of HAZMAT Registration” under the proper

registration years heading. Help in filing your

registration through the Internet is provided at the

top of the application form pages.

There is no additional charge for registering over

the Internet, and at the end of the session, after

payment has been made electronically, you will

receive a registration number and be able to print

a registration certificate. We recommend this

process, especially if you are in immediate need of

a registration number.

If you have questions about registering through the

Internet or need assistance, please call 202-366-

4484.

Expedited Follow-Up

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING EXPEDITED REGISTRATION

[For Those Who Have Made Expedited Registration By Phone And Have Paid The $200 Initial Expedited Registration Fee]

FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO AVOID DELAY

1. Check “Expedited Follow-up” in the top block and enter your temporary registration number in the space for “Current Registration #.”

2. Complete items 1 through 8. In item 6 enter “0” for the “Total Amount Due for this Registration” if your company meets the SBA size standard for a small business

or is a not-for-profit organization, or “$150” if your company does not meet the SBA size standard for a small business and is not a not-for-profit organization.

If the “Total Amount Due for this Registration” is $0, do not resubmit credit or debit card information.

3. Send the completed statement and any necessary payment to DOT at the address in Cambridge, MA, given in the temporary registration letter.

4. Include a copy of the temporary registration letter with this submission as proof of payment of the initial $200 fee.

DOT will mail a certificate of registration with your current registration number for the year as confirmation that your registration process is complete. Use this

number to replace the temporary number for all subsequent purposes.

EXPEDITED REGISTRATION

If you need to register for 2004-2005 more quickly than

the normal procedures provide and you are not able

to register over the Internet (see below), you may do

so by telephone with credit or debit card payment of

an initial $200 fee, which includes an additional $50

expedited registration fee. A debit card can be used

only if it displays a VISA or Mastercard logo. For

registrants that meet the SBA size standard for a small

business or are not-for-profit organizations, this $200

fee will be accepted as full payment of a single-year

registration for the 2004-2005 registration year. For

registrants that do not meet the SBA size standard

for a small business and are not not-for-profit

organizations, payment of an additional $150

must be made as part of the follow-up procedures

(for a full payment of $350, which includes a $50

expedited registration fee). You may register only

for registration year 2004-2005 through the expedited

procedures. You will be provided with a temporary

registration number, which can be used for 45 days

to prove compliance with the registration requirement.

To obtain a registration number promptly, you may

also register over the Internet (see below). No

additional processing fee is required for registration

over the Internet.

To register by telephone, please do the following:

1. Call 800-942-6990 or 617-494-2545 for service

24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Be ready to

provide your company name, the mailing address

of the principal place of business, and valid

VISA, Mastercard, American Express, or

Discover information. Your credit or debit card

account will be billed for $200 and payment will

be confirmed while you are on the phone.

You must respond within 10 days of receipt of the temporary registration letter.

Registration Fee Table

As Amended by the Final Rule of January 9, 2003

A final rule published in the Federal Register on January 9, 2003, reduced the annual fees for registration years 2003-2004, 2004-2005, and 2005-2006

to $150 for persons that meet the SBA size standard for a small business and for the newly established business category for not-for-profit organizations

(organizations exempt from taxation under 26 U.S.C. 501(a)), and to $300 for all other persons, and for registration year 2006-2007 and following to $275

for small businesses and not-for-profit organizations, and to $1000 for all other persons. The fees previously established for registration years 1992-1993

through 2002-2003 remain in effect.

One, two, or three year periods of registration are permitted for years beginning July 1, 2000, and later. The fees for all possible registration periods and

business types are listed in this table. All fees include the appropriate processing fee.

If you are a not-for-profit organization registering for 2002-2004 or 2002-2005, you must pay the fee in the column titled “Small Business/Non-Profit” if you

met the SBA size standard for a small business between July 1, 2002, and June 30, 2003, and the fee in the column titled “Not-Small Business/Non-Profit”

if you did not meet that standard during that year.

Registrants whose SBA business size changed within a period for which a multiple-year registration could otherwise be submitted are advised to register for

the years in which they qualified as a small business separately from the years for which they do not qualify as a small business.
