Materials by Rail.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0559
Summary: This information collection
consolidates and describes the
information provisions in parts 172,
173, 174, 179, and 180 of the HMR on
the transportation of hazardous
materials by rail and the manufacture,
qualification, maintenance, and use of
tank cars. The types of information
collected include:
(1) Approvals of the Association of
American Railroads (AAR) Tank Car
Committee: An approval is required
from the AAR Tank Car Committee for
a tank car to be used for a commodity
other than those specified in part 173
and on the certificate of construction.
This information is used to ascertain
whether a commodity is suitable for
transportation in a tank car. AAR
approval is also required for an
application for approval of designs,
materials and construction, conversion
or alteration of tank car tanks
constructed to a specification in part
179, or an application for construction
of tank cars to any new specification.
This information is used to ensure that
the design, construction, or
modification of a tank car or the
construction of a tank car to a new
specification is performed in accordance
with the applicable requirements.
(2) Progress Reports: Each owner of a
tank car that is required to be modified
to meet certain requirements specified
in § 173.31 must submit a progress
report to the Federal Railroad
Administration (FRA). FRA uses this
information to ensure that all affected
tank cars are modified before the
regulatory compliance date.

(3) FRA Approvals: An approval is
required from FRA to transport a bulk
packaging (such as a portable tank, IM
portable tank, intermediate bulk
container, cargo tank, or multi-unit tank
car tank) containing a hazardous
material in container-on-flat-car or
trailer-on-flat-car service other than as
authorized by § 174.63. FRA uses this
information to ensure that the bulk
package is properly secured using an
adequate restraint system during
transportation. An FRA approval is also
required for the movement of any tank
car that does not conform to the
applicable requirements in the HMR.
These latter movements are currently
being reported under the information
collection for special permit
applications.
(4) Manufacturer Reports and
Certificate of Construction: These
documents are prepared by tank car
manufacturers and used by owners,
users, and FRA personnel to verify that
rail tank cars conform to the applicable
specification.
(5) Quality Assurance Program:
Facilities that build, repair, and ensure
the structural integrity of tank cars are
required to develop and implement a
quality assurance program. This
information is used by the facility and
DOT compliance personnel to ensure
that each tank car is constructed or
repaired in accordance with the
applicable requirements.
(6) Inspection Reports: A written
report must be prepared and retained for
each tank car that is inspected and
tested in accordance with § 180.509 of
the HMR. Rail carriers, users, and FRA
use this information to ensure that rail
tank cars are properly maintained and
in safe condition for transporting
hazardous materials.
Affected Public: Manufacturers,
owners, and rail carriers of tank.
