The term hazmat employer and hazmat employee are defined in 49 CFR 171.8.

Contrary to the above, from January to December 11,1996, the licensee did not provide training for all hazmat employees as required by Subpart H to 49 CFR Part 172, and the licensee otherwise meets the definition of hazmat employer in 49 CFR 171.8 Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Construction Testing & Engineering, Inc. is hereby required to submit a written statement or explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington, D.C. 20555 with copies to the Regional Administrator, Region IV,611 Ryan Plaza Drive, Suite 400, Arlington, Texas 76011, and the Region IV Walnut Creek Field Office,1450 Maria Lane, Walnut Creek, California 94596, within 30 days of the date of the letter transmitting this Notice of Violation (Notice).
