A bill of lading lists Acme Chemical Co. as the shipper and Riverside Distribution Center as the location to which the carrier must deliver the hazardous material. Under 49 CFR 171.8, what is Riverside Distribution Center's regulatory role?

49 CFR 171.8 (Consignee definition)

Shipping papers must correctly identify the consignee because that information is part of what dispatchers and emergency responders rely on if there's an incident en route; knowing exactly who is supposed to receive the material helps confirm what's actually on the truck.
