SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1320.8 (d), title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies an information
collection request that PHMSA will be
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for renewal and
extension. This information collection is
contained in 49 CFR 171.6 of the
Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR;
49 CFR parts 171–180). PHMSA has
revised burden estimates, where
appropriate, to reflect current reporting
levels or adjustments based on changes
in proposed or final rules published
since the information collection was last
approved. The following information is
provided for this information collection:
(1) Title of the information collection,
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
45361
including former title if a change is
being made; (2) OMB control number;
(3) summary of the information
collection activity; (4) description of
affected public; (5) estimate of total
annual reporting and recordkeeping
burden; and (6) frequency of collection.
PHMSA will request a 3-year term of
approval for this information collection
activity and will publish a notice in the
Federal Register upon OMB’s approval.
PHMSA requests comments on the
following information collection:
Title: Hazardous Materials Shipping
Papers & Emergency Response
Information.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0034.
Summary: This information collection
is for the requirement to provide a
shipping paper and emergency response
information with shipments of
hazardous materials. Shipping papers
are a basic communication tool in the
transportation of hazardous materials
and, by definition (see 49 CFR 171.8),
include a shipping order, bill of lading,
manifest, or other shipping document
serving a similar purpose and
containing the information required by
§§ 172.202, 172.203, and 172.204 of the
HMR. A shipping paper with emergency
response information must accompany
most hazardous materials shipments
and be readily available at all times
during transportation.
Shipping papers serve as the principal
source of information regarding the
presence of hazardous materials,
identification, quantity, and emergency
response procedures. They inform on
compliance with other requirements
(i.e., the placement of rail cars
containing different hazardous materials
in trains); prevent the loading of poisons
with foodstuffs; maintain the separation
of incompatible hazardous materials;
and limit the amount of radioactive
materials that may be transported in a
vehicle or aircraft. Shipping papers and
emergency response information also
notify transport workers that hazardous
materials are present and serve as a
principal means of identifying
hazardous materials during
transportation emergencies. Firefighters,
police, and other emergency response
personnel are trained to obtain the DOT
shipping papers and emergency
response information when responding
to hazardous materials transportation
emergencies.
The availability of accurate
information concerning hazardous
materials being transported significantly
improves response efforts in these types
of emergencies.
Affected Public: Shippers and carriers
of hazardous materials in commerce.
