Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 239 / Thursday, December 14, 2023 / Notices ‘‘Hazardous Materials Transportation Safety Improvement Act of 2015’’ (see sections 7001 through 7311) and instructs the Secretary of Transportation to make specific regulatory amendments to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–180), including requirements for rail tank car manufacturers to report their progress toward modifying rail tank cars used for the transportation of Class 3 flammable liquids in accordance with the timeline established in section 7304 of the FAST Act. This notice is applicable to section 7308(c) of the FAST Act which directs the Secretary to conduct an annual survey of tank car shops to acquire projections of the number of tank cars to be built or manufactured to the new safer specifications. This includes new tank cars built to the DOT Specification 117, or equivalent, as well as tank cars modified to the DOT Specification 117R. Tank cars will include, but may not be limited to, those originally built to Specifications: DOT105, DOT109, DOT111, DOT112, DOT114, DOT115, and DOT120. Respondents: There are approximately 400 tank car facilities that are currently registered or certified to build or modify tank cars. However, the majority of these do not have the capacity to modify or build to the 117 or 117R Specifications. At most, an estimated 140 tank car shops have the capacity to build or modify to these new safety standards. Estimated Average Burden per Response: An estimated 140 facilities will provide a response to this request for information on an annual basis. It will take approximately 30 minutes to complete, including record keeping and reporting. This notice is intended to accurately account for the annual burden. Estimated Total Annual Burden: The estimated burden is equal to 70 annual burden hours (i.e., 140 responses per year × 0.5 hour per response). The total burden cost is estimated at $3,665 (i.e., 70 burden hours × $52.36 per hour for a manager in Transportation, Storage, and Distribution). Frequency: The survey frequency is prescribed by section 7308(d) of the FAST Act. Specifically, the Secretary is required to conduct the survey annually until May 1, 2029 under section 7308(c). Public Comments Invited: Interested parties are invited to send comments regarding any aspect of this information collection, including, but not limited to: (1) the necessity and utility of the information collection for the proper performance of the functions of the DOT; (2) the accuracy of the estimated VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:39 Dec 13, 2023 Jkt 262001 burden; (3) ways to enhance the quality, utility, clarity and content of the collected information; and (4) ways to minimize the collection burden without reducing the quality of the collected information. Comments submitted in response to this notice will be summarized and/or included in the request for OMB’s clearance of this information collection. Issued in Washington, DC, on 7th of December 2023. Cha-Chi Fan, Director, Office of Data Development and Standards, Bureau of Transportation Statistics, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology.
