On July
24, 2020, PHMSA, in coordination with
the Federal Railroad Administration
(FRA), published a final rule 1 titled
‘‘Hazardous Materials: Liquefied Natural
Gas by Rail’’ [HM–264, 85 FR 44994], to
allow for the bulk transport of
‘‘Methane, refrigerated liquid,’’
commonly known as liquefied natural
gas (LNG), in rail tank cars. In this final
rule, PHMSA amended the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171–180) to require any rail carrier
transporting a tank car quantity of
UN1972 (Methane, refrigerated liquid
(cryogenic liquid) or Natural gas,
refrigerated liquid (cryogenic liquid)) to
comply with the additional safety and
security planning requirements for
transportation by rail. PHMSA currently
accounts for the burden associated with
safety and security planning
requirements in Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) Control Number
2137–0612, ‘‘Hazardous Materials
Security Plans.’’
OMB regulations require PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests. 5
CFR 1320.8(d). Under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 96–511),
no person is required to respond to an
information collection unless it has
been approved by OMB and displays a
valid OMB control number. As the HM–
264 final rule contains revisions that
were not proposed in the notice of
proposed rulemaking (NPRM) 2 [October
24, 2019; 84 FR 56964], PHMSA is
publishing this 60-day notice to provide
an opportunity for public comment on
the estimated increase in burden. The
estimated increase in burden hours is
reflected in ‘‘Section VI.G. Paperwork
Reduction Act,’’ of the preamble to the
final rule, with a minor adjustment due
to a rounding error. PHMSA will
subsequently publish a 30-day notice in
response to any comments received to
this notice, along with a submission to
OMB reflecting this revised annual
burden.
