Which piece of information is required to identify the person responsible for a Category B package?

• A. Name and telephone number of a person responsible
• B. Email address
• C. Mailing address
• D. Fax number

Answer: (A)

For Category B shipments, you must identify the person responsible by providing their name and a telephone number. This direct phone contact ensures there is a quick and reliable way to reach the designated individual if questions arise, or if there’s an incident or regulatory check during handling and transport. The name alone doesn’t point to who to call, and a phone number is essential for real-time communication with the responsible party.

Email address, mailing address, and fax number aren’t the standard required contact method for identifying the person in charge. They may be useful in other contexts, but in transport operations and safety compliance, a telephone contact is the fastest and most actionable means to reach the right person immediately.
