emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES
amount of liquid hazardous materials
being measured during load and
unloading of bulk packagings is
accurate. These meter provers consist of
a gauge and several pipes that always
contain small amounts of the liquid
hazardous material in the pipes as
residual material, and, therefore, must
be inspected and maintained in
accordance with the HMR to ensure
they are in proper calibration and
working order. These meter provers are
not subject to the specification testing
and inspection requirements in Part
178. However, these meter provers must
be visually inspected annually and
hydrostatic pressure tested every five
years in order to ensure they are
properly working as specified in
§ 173.5a of the HMR. Therefore, this
information collection requires that:
(1) Each meter prover must undergo
and pass an external visual inspection
annually to ensure that the meter
provers used in the flow of liquid
hazardous materials into bulk
packagings are accurate and in
conformance with the performance
standards in the HMR.
(2) Each meter prover must undergo
and pass a hydrostatic pressure test at
least every five years to ensure that the
meter provers used in the flow of liquid
hazardous materials into bulk
packagings are accurate and in
conformance with the performance
standards in the HMR.
(3) Each meter prover must
successfully complete the test and
inspection and must be marked 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.

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

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.

Title: Response Plans for Shipments of Oil.
OMB Control Number: 2137-0591.
Summary: In recent years, several major oil discharges damaged the
marine environment of the United States. Under authority of the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act, as amended by the Oil Pollution Act of
1990, PHMSA issued regulations in 49 CFR Part 130 that require
preparation of written spill response plans.
Affected Public: Carriers that transport oil in bulk, by motor
vehicle or rail.

Title: Hazardous Materials Security Plans.
OMB Control Number: 2137-0612.
Summary: To assure public safety, shippers and carriers must take
reasonable measures to plan and implement procedures to prevent
unauthorized persons from taking control of, or attacking, hazardous
materials shipments. Part 172 of the HMR requires persons who offer or
transport certain hazardous materials to develop and implement written
plans to enhance the security of hazardous materials shipments. The
security plan requirements, as prescribed in Sec. 172.800(b) applies
to specific types of shipments. Such shipments include but are not
limited to shipments greater than 3,000 kg (6,614 pounds) for solids or
3,000 liters (792 gallons) for liquids and gases in a single packaging
such as a cargo tank motor vehicle, portable tank, tank car, or other
bulk container; any quantity of a Division 1.1, 1.2, or 1.3 material; a
large bulk quantity of a Division 2.1 material; or any quantity of a
poison by inhalation material. A security plan will enable shippers and
carriers to reduce the possibility that a hazardous materials shipment
will be used as a weapon of opportunity by a terrorist or criminal.
Affected Public: Shippers and carriers of hazardous materials in
commerce.

Title: Inspection and Testing of Meter Provers.
OMB Control Number: 2137-0620.
Summary: This information collection and recordkeeping burden
results from the requirements pertaining to the use, inspection, and
maintenance of mechanical displacement meter provers (meter provers)
used to check the accurate flow of liquid hazardous materials into bulk
packagings, such as portable tanks and cargo tank motor vehicles, under
the HMR. These meter provers are used to ensure that the
[[Page 26501]]
amount of liquid hazardous materials being measured during load and
unloading of bulk packagings is accurate. These meter provers consist
of a gauge and several pipes that always contain small amounts of the
liquid hazardous material in the pipes as residual material, and,
therefore, must be inspected and maintained in accordance with the HMR
to ensure they are in proper calibration and working order. These meter
provers are not subject to the specification testing and inspection
requirements in Part 178. However, these meter provers must be visually
inspected annually and hydrostatic pressure tested every five years in
order to ensure they are properly working as specified in Sec. 173.5a
of the HMR. Therefore, this information collection requires that:
(1) Each meter prover must undergo and pass an external visual
inspection annually to ensure that the meter provers used in the flow
of liquid hazardous materials into bulk packagings are accurate and in
conformance with the performance standards in the HMR.
(2) Each meter prover must undergo and pass a hydrostatic pressure
test at least every five years to ensure that the meter provers used in
the flow of liquid hazardous materials into bulk packagings are
accurate and in conformance with the performance standards in the HMR.
(3) Each meter prover must successfully complete the test and
inspection and must be marked 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.

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.
