FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Tony Gale, Transportation Specialist,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Currently,
the Hazardous Materials Regulations
(HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–180) allows for
transport of cryogenic (or refrigerated)
ethane in cryogenic truck trailers
designated MC 331 or MC 338 under 49
CFR 173.315 and in UN T75 portable
tanks in the 49 CFR 172.101 Hazardous
Materials Table, special provisions
column. Cryogenic ethane is not
currently allowed to be shipped in DOT
113 rail tank cars. On August 20, 2021,
Gas Innovations LNG Refrigerants Inc.
(Gas Innovations), submitted an
application for a special permit under
§ 107.105. Gas Innovations seeks a
special permit for authorization to
transport cryogenic ethane in DOT–
113C120W9 and DOT–113C120W rail
tank cars from Marcus Hook,
Pennsylvania to locations along the Gulf
Coast of the United States, Mexico, and
Canada. Final destinations would be
points in proximity to petrochemical or
LNG liquefication facilities where the
ethane would receive further
processing. Gas Innovations explains in
its application (available at PHMSA–
2022–0081) that ethane is a non-volatile
organic compound that is more stable
than ethylene, a material that is
currently authorized for transportation
by DOT–113C120W rail tank car under
the HMR. Gas Innovations further states
that, compared to ethylene, ethane has
a lower vapor pressure, lower
flammability in air, and a higher
ignition temperature. Gas Innovations
asserts that transport of cryogenic
ethane is safer than transport of
cryogenic ethylene. Gas Innovations
explains that transportation of cryogenic
ethylene is authorized in DOT–
113C120W9 and DOT–113C120W rail
tank cars consistent with the
specifications set forth in 49 CFR part
179, subpart F which specify the design
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 259001
and construction requirements for
cryogenic liquid tank car tanks. Finally,
Gas Innovations notes that it has
experience in the transportation of
liquefied petroleum and other cryogenic
products in rail tank cars. Gas
Innovations believes that the lower risk
profile of ethane compared to ethylene,
together with the company’s experience
and expertise moving cryogenic
products by rail tank car, will allow
them to transport cryogenic ethane at
the same level of safety under a special
permit compared with what is currently
authorized for rail transportation of
cryogenic ethylene under the HMR.
PHMSA notes that the proposed
special permit related to the
transportation of cryogenic flammable
liquids in rail tank cars raises similar
considerations as the transportation of
LNG and the subject of PHMSA’s Notice
of Proposed Rulemaking: Suspension of
HMR Amendments Authorizing
Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas
by Rail (Docket No. PHMSA–2021–
0058).
PHMSA seeks comments from the
public on the application for a special
permit to transport cryogenic ethane via
rail car. Specifically, PHMSA requests
comments on the application and, if the
special permit were to be approved, any
specific operational controls which
should be added to enhance safety and
environmental impacts.
This notice of receipt of application
for special permit is published in
accordance with 49 CFR 107.127 and
the Federal hazardous materials
transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5117(b);
49 CFR 1.97(b)). Comments and answers
in response to questions posed in this
notice are governed by the information
collection for special permits: OMB
Control No. 2137–0051 (Rulemaking
and Special Permit Applications).
Issued in Washington, DC, on November
29, 2022, under authority delegated in 49
CFR 1.97.

Title: Joint Standards for Assessing
the Diversity Policies and Practices of
Entities Regulated by the Agencies and
Diversity Self-Assessment Template for
OCC-Regulated Entities.
OMB Control No.: 1557–0334.
Abstract: This information collection
sets forth standards for OCC-regulated
entities to voluntarily self-assess their
diversity and inclusion policies and
practices and includes a template to
assist with the self-assessment. The
template is now a PDF fillable form,
which replaces the current Excel
spreadsheet template. No other
substantive changes were made to the
template. The template (1) asks for
general information about a respondent;
(2) includes questions and solicits
comments for certain standards about
program successes and challenges; (3)
asks for a description of current
practices for the self-assessment
standards; (4) seeks additional diversity
and inclusion data; and (5) provides an
opportunity for a respondent to provide
other information regarding or comment
on the self-assessment of its diversity
and inclusion policies and practices.
The OCC may use the information
submitted to monitor progress and
trends in the financial services industry
regarding diversity and inclusion in
employment and contracting activities
and to identify and highlight diversity
and inclusion policies and practices that
have been successful. The OCC will
continue to reach out to the entities it
regulates and other interested parties to
discuss diversity and inclusion in the
financial services industry and share
leading practices. Finally, if an OCCregulated entity submits confidential
commercial information that is both
customarily and actually treated as
private by the entity, the entity can
designate the information as private,
and the OCC will treat the selfassessment information as private to the
extent permitted by law, including the
Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
552, et seq.
Type of Review: Regular.
Affected Public: Businesses or other
for-profit.
Burden Estimates:
Estimated Number of Respondents: 82
(24 new respondents; 58 repeat
