Summary of Issue

What is the driver/carrier's course of action if a Level VI decal comes off of the vehicle in transit. If a Level VI decal is applied to a vehicle successfully passing a point of origin inspection and the driver notices the decal has come off during transport. Resulting in a vehicle transporting HRCQ or Transuranic (TRU) Waste not having a valid sticker, as required.

Justification or Need

In order for carriers of HRCQ or TRU Waste to operate in the U.S., they are required to display a valid Level VI inspection decal. If a vehicle is seen operating within the U.S. without one, it would be in violation of CVSA Level VI Inspection Procedures. These procedures, which are incorporated by reference under 385.415(b)(1), are listed under the Level VI Inspection, Section 4 of the CVSA Level VI Inspection Procedures.

Request for Action

Set protocol/procedure for drivers and/or carriers to follow when they notice the required Level VI decal has been lost en-route from their vehicle carrying HRCQ or TRU waste.
