Where can the DOT's Reportable Quantity (RQ) for a hazardous material be found?

The Reportable Quantity (RQ) for hazardous materials can be found in 49 CFR 172.101 App A. This section of the Code of Federal Regulations provides detailed guidance on proper shipping names and associated reportable quantities for various hazardous substances. The RQ indicates the minimum amount of a hazardous material that, if released into the environment, requires immediate notification to the National Response Center (NRC) and other relevant authorities, making it crucial for compliance and safety.

Other options pertain to different regulatory frameworks: 40 CFR 261.3 deals with the identification of hazardous waste; 49 CFR 171.173 outlines requirements for the labeling and marking of hazardous materials; and 40 CFR Part 262 covers the standards for generators of hazardous waste. While these sections are all pertinent to hazardous materials and waste management, they do not specifically provide the information regarding Reportable Quantities as outlined in 49 CFR 172.101 App A.
