On February 18, 2020, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) disseminated a CBD Notice on their Drug and Alcohol Policy and Compliance in regards to CBD use. Although, the Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-334 otherwise known as the Farm Bill, removed hemp from the definition of marijuana under the Controlled Substances Act, not all hemp-derived products are made the same.
It’s a new year and a new regulation addendum. Actually, it’s the first addendum to the 61st Edition IATA (International Air Transportation Association) Dangerous Goods Regulation (DRG). It’s fitting that it should take effect January 1, 2020. With everyone’s New Year’s resolutions and all. If your reading this, maybe your New Year’s resolution is like many, to read more. What better way to start the new year than educating yourself about the confusing world of hazmat shipping?
This is a question we get asked a lot (or some variation of the question). The short answer is yes. If you ship, receive, or handle ANY hazardous materials in the US, you fall under the requirements of 49 CFR . I know, it sounds super official and scary. But now that you know you are one of millions of people who need training, you must figure out what hazmats are.
In case you didn’t know, 49 CFR 1022 refers to the Civil Monetary Penalty Inflation Adjustment.The Surface Transportation Board (board) has issued its final rule adjusting the annual inflation for 2018-2019 pursuant to the Federal Civil Penalties Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015.
