ACTION: Notice; revisions to the listing of
designated and restricted routes for
hazardous materials.
AGENCY:
This notice provides revisions
to the National Hazardous Materials
Route Registry (NHMRR) reported to the
FMCSA from April 1, 2018 through
March 31, 2019. The NHMRR is a
listing, as reported by States and Tribal
governments, of all designated and
restricted roads and preferred highway
routes for transportation of highway
route controlled quantities of Class 7
radioactive materials and nonradioactive hazardous materials.
DATES: These revisions are effective
September 24, 2019.

SUMMARY:
Legal Basis and Background
Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section
5112 of title 49 United States Code
(U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal
governments to designate and limit
highway routes over which hazardous
materials (HM) may be transported,
provided the State or Tribal government
complies with standards prescribed by
the Secretary of Transportation (the
Secretary) and meets publication
requirements in section 5112(c). To
establish standards under paragraph (b),
the Secretary must consult with the
States, and, under section 5112(c),
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:37 Sep 23, 2019
Jkt 247001
coordinate with the States to ‘‘update
and publish periodically’’ a list of
currently effective HM highway routing
designations and restrictions. The
requirements that States and Tribal
governments must follow to establish,
maintain, or enforce routing
designations for the transport of
placardable quantities of nonradioactive hazardous materials
(NRHM) are set forth in 49 CFR part
397, subpart C. Subpart D of part 397
sets out the requirements for designating
preferred routes for highway route
controlled quantities of Class 7
radioactive materials (HRCQ/RAM)
shipments as an alternative, or in
addition, to Interstate System highways.
For HRCQ/RAM shipments, § 397.101
defines a preferred route as an Interstate
Highway for which no alternative route
is designated by the State; a route
specifically designated by the State; or
both. (See § 397.65 for the definition of
‘‘NRHM’’ and ‘‘routing designations.’’)
Under a delegation from the
Secretary,1 FMCSA has authority to
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
Currently, 49 CFR 397.73 establishes
public information and reporting
requirements for NRHM. States or Tribal
governments are required to furnish
information regarding any new or
changed routes to FMCSA within 60
days after establishment. Under 49 CFR
397.103, a State routing designation for
HRCQ/RAM routes (preferred routes) as
an alternative, or in addition, to an
Interstate System highway, is effective
when the authorized routing agency
provides FMCSA with written
notification, FMCSA acknowledges
receipt in writing, and the route is
published in FMCSA’s NHMRR. The
Office of Management and Budget has
approved these collections of
information under control number
2126–0014, Transportation of
Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing.
In this notice, FMCSA is merely
performing the ministerial function of
updating and publishing the NHMRR
based on input from its State and Tribal
partners under 49 U.S.C. 5112(c)(1).
Accordingly, this notice serves only to
provide the most recent revisions to the
NHMRR; it does not establish any new
public information and reporting
requirements.
Updates to the NHMRR
FMCSA published the full NHMRR in
a Federal Register Notice on April 29,
2015 (80 FR 23859). Since publication
of the 2015 notice, FMCSA published
two updates to the NHMRR in Federal
Register Notices on August 8, 2016 (81

FR 52518) and August 9, 2018 (83 FR
39500).
This notice provides revisions to the
NHMRR, reported to the FMCSA from
April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019.
The revisions to the NHMRR listings in
this notice supersede and replace
corresponding NHMRR listings
published in the April 29, 2015 notice
and corresponding revisions to the
NHMRR listings published in the
August 8, 2016 and August 9, 2018
notices. Continue to refer to the April
29, 2015 notice for additional
background on the NHMRR and the
August 8, 2016 notice for the procedures
for State and Tribal government routing
agencies to update their Route Registry
listings and contact information.
The full current NHMRR for each
state is posted on the FMCSA’s internet
website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/
regulations/hazardous-materials/
national-hazardous-materials-routeregistry.
Revisions to the NHMRR in This Notice
In accordance with the requirements
of 49 CFR 397.73 and 397.103, the
NHMRR is being revised as follows:
Table 2.—California—Designated

codes to identify each route designation
and each route restriction reported by
the State. Designation codes identify the
routes along which a driver may or must
transport specified HM. Among the
designation codes is one for preferred
routes, which apply to the
transportation of a highway route
controlled quantity of Class 7

ACTION: Notice; revisions to the listing of designated and restricted
routes for hazardous materials.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice provides revisions to the National Hazardous
Materials Route Registry (NHMRR) reported to the FMCSA from April 1,
2018 through March 31, 2019. The NHMRR is a listing, as reported by
States and Tribal governments, of all designated and restricted roads
and preferred highway routes for transportation of highway route
controlled quantities of Class 7 radioactive materials and non-
radioactive hazardous materials.
DATES: These revisions are effective September 24, 2019.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Vincent Babich at (202) 366-4871,
or [email protected]; or Ms. Melissa Williams at (202) 366-4163 or
[email protected], Hazardous Materials Division, Office of
Enforcement and Compliance, Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration, 1200 New Jersey Ave. SE, Washington, DC 20590. Office
hours are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET., Monday through Friday, except for
Federal holidays.
Legal Basis and Background
Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section 5112 of title 49 United States
Code (U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal governments to designate and
limit highway routes over which hazardous materials (HM) may be
transported, provided the State or Tribal government complies with
standards prescribed by the Secretary of Transportation (the Secretary)
and meets publication requirements in section 5112(c). To establish
standards under paragraph (b), the Secretary must consult with the
States, and, under section 5112(c), coordinate with the States to
``update and publish periodically'' a list of currently effective HM
highway routing designations and restrictions. The requirements that
States and Tribal governments must follow to establish, maintain, or
enforce routing designations for the transport of placardable
quantities of non-radioactive hazardous materials (NRHM) are set forth
in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C. Subpart D of part 397 sets out the
requirements for designating preferred routes for highway route
controlled quantities of Class 7 radioactive materials (HRCQ/RAM)
shipments as an alternative, or in addition, to Interstate System
highways. For HRCQ/RAM shipments, Sec. 397.101 defines a preferred
route as an Interstate Highway for which no alternative route is
designated by the State; a route specifically designated by the State;
or both. (See Sec. 397.65 for the definition of ``NRHM'' and ``routing
designations.'')
Under a delegation from the Secretary,\1\ FMCSA has authority to
implement 49 U.S.C. 5112.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 49 CFR 1.87(d)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Currently, 49 CFR 397.73 establishes public information and
reporting requirements for NRHM. States or Tribal governments are
required to furnish information regarding any new or changed routes to
FMCSA within 60 days after establishment. Under 49 CFR 397.103, a State
routing designation for HRCQ/RAM routes (preferred routes) as an
alternative, or in addition, to an Interstate System highway, is
effective when the authorized routing agency provides FMCSA with
written notification, FMCSA acknowledges receipt in writing, and the
route is published in FMCSA's NHMRR. The Office of Management and
Budget has approved these collections of information under control
number 2126-0014, Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway
Routing.
In this notice, FMCSA is merely performing the ministerial function
of updating and publishing the NHMRR based on input from its State and
Tribal partners under 49 U.S.C. 5112(c)(1). Accordingly, this notice
serves only to provide the most recent revisions to the NHMRR; it does
not establish any new public information and reporting requirements.
Updates to the NHMRR
FMCSA published the full NHMRR in a Federal Register Notice on
April 29, 2015 (80 FR 23859). Since publication of the 2015 notice,
FMCSA published two updates to the NHMRR in Federal Register Notices on
August 8, 2016 (81 FR 52518) and August 9, 2018 (83 FR 39500).
This notice provides revisions to the NHMRR, reported to the FMCSA
from April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2019. The revisions to the NHMRR
listings in this notice supersede and replace corresponding NHMRR
listings published in the April 29, 2015 notice and corresponding
revisions to the NHMRR listings published in the August 8, 2016 and
August 9, 2018 notices. Continue to refer to the April 29, 2015 notice
for additional background on the NHMRR and the August 8, 2016 notice
for the procedures for State and Tribal government routing agencies to
update their Route Registry listings and contact information.
The full current NHMRR for each state is posted on the FMCSA's
internet website at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry.
Revisions to the NHMRR in This Notice
In accordance with the requirements of 49 CFR 397.73 and 397.103,
the NHMRR is being revised as follows:
Table 2.--California--Designated NRHM Routes
Route Order Designator ``A6A-3.0-B3'' is revised to remove ``B''

Route Order Key
Each listing in the NHMRR includes codes to identify each route
designation and each route restriction reported by the State.
Designation codes identify the routes along which a driver may or must
transport specified HM. Among the designation codes is one for
preferred routes, which apply to the transportation of a highway route
controlled quantity of Class 7
[[Page 50099]]
