What does Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) regulate?

Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) specifically regulates the transportation of hazardous materials. This includes detailed provisions concerning the classification, packaging, labeling, and handling of hazardous materials during transport. The regulations aim to ensure safety and minimize risks associated with the transportation of materials that could pose a threat to public safety or the environment.

In the context of hazardous materials, Title 49 provides guidelines that must be followed by shippers, carriers, and others involved in the transport process. It covers a wide range of materials, including flammable liquids, corrosive substances, and explosives, ensuring that they are handled and transported in a safe and compliant manner.

The other options relate to different areas of regulation: military vehicle maintenance falls under distinct military regulations, civil aircraft operations are governed by Title 14 of the CFR, and explosive weapon manufacture is regulated under other specific laws and regulations not covered by Title 49.
