This is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy...
3. A commercial motor vehicle (CMV) is defined as:

This question was answered incorrectly
a. A vehicle with a gross weight over 26,001 lbs

X b. A vehicle transporting hazardous materials
c. A vehicle transporting 16 or more passengers
d. All of the above


The definition in the question, as asked, very narrowly lists the definitions for Commercial Drivers License Standards for the requirements to have a CDL. If you drive a vehicle that meets the criteria of A, B or C then you have to possess a CDL. These are listed in § 383.5: Definitions. And ONLY applies to drivers and their employees (as is stated in § 383.3: Applicability) to "every person who operates a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) in interstate, foreign, or intrastate commerce, to all employers of such persons, and to all States."

Beyond the very narrow scope of applicability of requiring to have a CDL, the full definition of a CMV is found in § 390.5: Definitions and applies to the vehicles themselves, as is stated in § 390.3: General applicability ("applicable to all employers, employees, and commercial motor vehicles, which transport property or passengers in interstate commerce.").

Commercial motor vehicle means any self-propelled or towed motor vehicle used on a highway in interstate commerce to transport passengers or property when the vehicle—

(1) Has a gross vehicle weight rating or gross combination weight rating, or gross vehicle weight or gross combination weight, of 4,536 kg (10,001 pounds) or more, whichever is greater; or

(2) Is designed or used to transport more than 8 passengers (including the driver) for compensation; or

(3) Is designed or used to transport more than 15 passengers, including the driver, and is not used to transport passengers for compensation; or

(4) Is used in transporting material found by the Secretary of Transportation to be hazardous under 49 U.S.C. 5103 and transported in a quantity requiring placarding under regulations prescribed by the Secretary under 49 CFR, subtitle B, chapter I, subchapter C.
