In the passenger area, buses may carry less than 100 pounds of which item?

• A. Small arms ammunition (ORM-D)
• B. Batteries
• C. Medical supplies
• D. Food items

Answer: (A)

In the passenger area of a bus, there are relaxed hazmat rules for certain items that pose low risk. These items fall under the ORM-D category (Other Regulated Materials-Domestic), which covers consumer commodities that aren’t highly hazardous. The rule allows carrying up to 100 pounds of ORM-D materials in the passenger compartment, because they’re considered safe enough for travelers under controlled limits. Small arms ammunition is classified as ORM-D, so it fits this allowance and can be carried in the passenger area in quantities under 100 pounds. Batteries, medical supplies, and food items don’t fall into this same exempt category in the same way, or they’re governed by different hazmat rules, so they aren’t the item that the question is testing you to recognize as qualifying for the 100-pound limit in the passenger area.
