hazardous materials.
AGENCY:
This notice provides revisions
to the National Hazardous Materials
Route Registry (NHMRR) reported to the
FMCSA from April 1, 2020 through
March 31, 2021. 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).

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 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/
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 definitions 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
regarding any new or changed routes to
FMCSA 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.

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 115 / Thursday, June 17, 2021 / Notices
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
four updates to the NHMRR in Federal
Register notices on August 8, 2016 (81
FR 52518), August 9, 2018 (83 FR
39500), September 24, 2019 (84 FR
50098), and June 3, 2020 (85 FR 34284).
This notice provides revisions to the
NHMRR, reported to FMCSA from April
1, 2020 through March 31, 2021. 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,
September 24, 2019, and June 3, 2020
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 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 §§ 397.73 and 397.103, the NHMRR is
being revised as follows:
Table 2—California—Designated
NRHM Routes
Route Order Designator ‘‘A3A–3.0’’
with ‘‘I’’ designation is removed.
Table 3—Iowa—Designated NRHM
Routes
Route Order Designator ‘‘A1’’ is

Route Order Designator ‘‘A4B–1.0’’ is
revised to rename I–680 to I–880.
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. Table 1 presents information
on each restriction and designation
code.

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,
2020 through March 31, 2021. 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: June 17, 2021.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Melissa Williams, Hazardous
Materials Division, Office of Enforcement and Compliance, FMCSA, 1200

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 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/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 definitions 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, Sec. 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 Sec. 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.
[[Page 32307]]
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,

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. Table 1 presents information on each
restriction and designation code.
