A bill to amend the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 1985 and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act to provide that commerce does not include transportation performed in a vehicle, aircraft, or vessel that is owned, operated, or controlled by a governmental entity. Removes the requirement for posting hazardous transportation exemption renewals in the Federal Register. Revises the definition of radioactive materials to provide that the term does not include material which the Secretary of Transportation determines is of such a low order of radioactivity that when transported it does not pose an unreasonable hazard to health or safety. Authorizes the Secretary to contract with a private entity for a supplemental reporting system and data center on the transportation of hazardous substances. Changes from May 1 to June 15 of each year the date for submission of the Secretary's annual report on the transportation of hazardous materials. Declares that Federal laws relating to such transportation shall not apply to any matter subject to Federal postal laws or regulations. Authorizes appropriations for FY 1985 and 1986.
