activity is affecting rail transportation of
flammable liquids and allow PHMSA to
make data-driven decisions in advance
of the compliance milestones in the
retrofit schedule. The Oklahoma DOT
states that it does not object to the tank
car retrofitting reporting requirements
but encourages PHMSA to reemphasize
the importance of evaluating the causes
of oil by rail accidents so as to prevent
them in the future.
We estimate that this reporting
requirement will result in a revised
information collection and
recordkeeping burden as follows:
OMB No. 2137–0628, ‘‘Flammable
Hazardous Materials by Rail
Transportation.’’
