Hazardous Materials: Reducing Burdens on Domestic Companies Using Battery-Powered Equipment in Trades

Rule
Transportation Department, Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
Rule
August 4, 2026
2026-15823
49 CFR 173
September 3, 2026

πŸ“„ Summary

This final rule modernizes the Materials of Trade (MOT) exception in the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR) by increasing the maximum allowable quantities of lithium batteries that can be transported as MOTs. This increase removes an undue regulatory burden which constrains the ability of construction, landscaping, mowing, tree service, food service, and entertainment companies to perform their trade.
