Hazardous Materials (Hazmat) Training NPRM

In comments filed with the FAA, ARSA said that the proposed expansion of hazardous materials (hazmat) training requirements would impose significant new costs on the aviation industry and would apply indiscriminately to thousands of companies that do not handle hazmat and are thus not hazmat employers.

The Association recommended an alternative approach in which Part 145 certificate holders would have their hazmat status listed on their operations specifications.
