| Summary of Issue | The placarding OOS requires that there be HM on board for improper placarding to be OOS. |
| Justification or Need | If a carrier chooses to leave placards on a non HM load, first responders will not know that there is no HM on board. If it continues, eventually the placarding regs become worthless. |
| Request for Action | Make improper displaying of placards an OOS item. |
