I can NOT see our current government eliminating fees on anything much less politically incorrect items such as primers and powder.

The government did not impose the fee (at least directly);
They required detailed record keeping about what is on EVERY cargo truck.
The driver has to know everything on the truck that is ANY kind of hazmat.
The shippers imposed the fee since they have to check for the label, and every driver of each truck that moves the box must peel off a copy of the hazmat sticker and carry it in the cab with him.
There must be a 24 hour phone number available to tell first responders how to deal with the hazmat material.
Both of these cost money to operate.
