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.
