Which condition governs the shipping of MPPEH over public routes?

• A. It may be shipped if a supervisor approves
• B. It may be shipped if it is marked safe by a supervisor
• C. It may be shipped when accompanied by documentation of explosives safety status
• D. It may be shipped if it is a small quantity

Answer: (C)

Shipping MPPEH over public routes requires formal verification through explosives safety documentation. This documentation shows the item has been reviewed and cleared for transport, with its hazard classification, packaging, stowage, and handling controls documented and approved by the proper authority. Simply having supervisor approval or a supervisor marking it as safe does not provide the regulatory clearance needed for public-road movement, and a small-quantity exemption does not apply. Therefore, the transport is allowed only when it is accompanied by documentation of explosives safety status.
