(3) Each meter prover must successfully complete the test and inspection and must be marked in accordance with § 180.415(b) and in accordance with § 173.5a. (4) Each owner must retain a record of the most recent visual inspection and pressure test until the meter prover is requalified. Affected Public: Owners of meter provers used to measure liquid hazardous materials flow into bulk packagings such as cargo tanks and portable tanks. Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden: Number of Respondents: 50. Total Annual Responses: 250. Total Annual Burden Hours: 175. Frequency of collection: On occasion. Title: Requirements for United Nations (UN) Cylinders. OMB Control Number: 2137–0621. Summary: This information collection and recordkeeping burden is the result of efforts to amend the HMR to adopt standards for the design, construction, maintenance and use of cylinders and multiple-element gas containers (MEGCs) based on the standards contained in the United Nations (UN) Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods. Aligning the HMR with the UN Recommendations promotes flexibility, permits the use of technological advances for the manufacture of the pressure receptacles, provides for a broader selection of pressure receptacles, reduces the need for special permits, and facilitates international commerce in the transportation of compressed gases. Information collection requirements address domestic and international manufacturers of cylinders that request approval by the approval agency for cylinder design types. The approval process for each cylinder design type includes review, filing, and recordkeeping of the approval application. The approval agency is required to maintain a set of the approved drawings and calculations for each design it reviews and a copy of each initial design type approval certificate approved by the Associate Administrator for not less than 20 years. Affected Public: Fillers, owners, users, and retesters of UN cylinders. Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping Burden: Number of Respondents: 50. Total Annual Responses: 150. Total Annual Burden Hours: 900. Frequency of collection: On occasion. VerDate Mar<15>2010 14:59 Mar 29, 2011 Jkt 223001 Issued in Washington, DC on March 24, 2011. Charles E.

Under the terms of the license and certificate, the transport of the steam generators would be conducted in accordance with the special arrangement provisions of the International Atomic Energy Agency ‘‘Regulations for the Safe Transport of Radioactive Material’’ (TS–R–1). The initial leg of transport would be by road and entirely within Canada. The steam generators would then be loaded on a vessel in Owen Sound, Ontario for transport to Sweden via Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario and interconnecting waterways as well as the St. Lawrence River.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 4, 2011, the Canadian Nuclear 
Safety Commission (CNSC) issued a transport license and certificate to 
Bruce Power for the transport to Sweden of 16 radioactively 
contaminated decommissioned steam generator large components originally 
installed in the Bruce Power nuclear power plant near Tiverton, 
Ontario. The stated purpose of the transport is to conduct recycling 
and volume reduction activities in Sweden. Under the terms of the 
license and certificate, the transport of the steam generators would be 
conducted in accordance with the special arrangement provisions of the
