| Summary of Issue | The OOSC, Part III, Item 2(b) "Number and Type of Placards" - an OOS condition exists when 50% or more of the required placards are missing or misrepresent the hazardous materials being transported |
| Justification or Need | Provide Clarification and uniformity. Confusion exists as to whether a transport vehicle, displaying placards, but is now empty of its hazardous material cargo is still considered out-of-service or just in violation at the time. |
| Request for Action | Clarify the out-of-service criteria as it applies to vehicles that are not transporting hazardous materials at the time of inspection. Clarification of OOSC Part III Item 2(b). |
