HM-215K Final Rule Extends Transition Period for ORM-D Materials Transported by Highway

The ORM-D issue continues to generate much interest.  Our experience as a training organization is that most US shippers do NOT ship consumer commodities by air under the DOT regulations.  But by highway, it's another story entirely.

On Monday, January 7, 2013, the transition period for shipments traveling under ORM-D designation was extended until December 31, 2020.

Other issues are discussed in this final rule as well.  Click here to view the Federal Register document.
