ACTION: Notice; revisions to the listing of
designated and restricted routes for
hazardous materials.
AGENCY:
This notice makes revisions to
the National Hazardous Materials Route
Registry (NHMRR) reported to the
FMCSA from April 1, 2019 through
March 31, 2020. 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) (HRCQ/RAM)
and non-radioactive hazardous
materials (NRHM).
DATES: Effective date: June 3, 2020.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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),
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 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 HRCQ/RAM shipments as
an alternative, or in addition, to
Interstate System highways. For HRCQ/

Jkt 250001
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, § 397.73 establishes public
information and reporting requirements
for NRHM. States or Tribal governments
are required to furnish information to
FMCSA regarding any new or changed
routes within 60 days after
establishment. Under § 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
three updates to the NHMRR in Federal
Register notices on August 8, 2016 (81
FR 52518), August 9, 2018 (83 FR
39500) and September 24, 2019 (84 FR
50098).
This notice makes revisions to the
NHMRR, reported to the FMCSA from
April 1, 2019 through March 31, 2020.
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, August 9, 2018, and
September 24, 2019 notices. Please
continue to refer to the April 29, 2015
notice for additional background on the
NHMRR and the August 8, 2016 notice

Revisions to the NHMRR in This Notice
In accordance with the requirements
of §§ 397.73 and 397.103, the NHMRR is
revised as follows:
Table 2.—California—Designated

‘‘A1’’ is revised to remove the ‘‘I’’
designation.
A new additional Route Order
Designator ‘‘A1’’ is added and assigned
an ‘‘I’’ designation.

with the ‘‘I’’ designation is revised to
remove the QA comment.
Route Order Designator ‘‘A4A–3.0–D’’
is revised to remove the ‘‘B’’
designation.

A new Route Order Designator
‘‘A11P–1.0–A1’’ is added.
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
(radioactive) material. Restriction codes
identify the routes along which a driver
may not transport specified HM
shipments.
