SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The data for the Transportation
of Hazardous Materials; Highway Routing ICR is collected under
authority of 49 U.S.C. 5112 and 5125. Specifically, 49 U.S.C. 5112(c)
requires that the Secretary, in coordination with the States, ``shall
update and publish periodically a list of currently effective hazardous
material highway route designations.'' This authority is delegated to
FMCSA in 49 CFR 1.87(d)(2).
In 49 CFR 397.73, FMCSA requires that each State and Indian tribe,
through its routing agency, provide information identifying new, or
changes to existing, hazardous materials routing designations within
its jurisdiction within 60 days after their establishment (or 60 days
of the change). That information is collected and consolidated by FMCSA
and published annually, in whole or as updates, in the Federal Register
and on its website at <a href="https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry">https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/regulations/hazardous-materials/national-hazardous-materials-route-registry</a>.
Title: Transportation of Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing.
OMB Control Number: 2126-0014.
Type of Request: Renewal of a currently approved ICR.
Respondents: The reporting burden is shared by 50 States, the
District of Columbia, Indian tribes with designated routes, and U.S.
Territories including Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin
Islands.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 57 [36 States + the District of
Columbia, with designated hazardous materials highway routes + 19
States/U.S. Territories without designated hazardous materials highway
routes + 1 Indian tribe with a designated route = 57].
Estimated Time per Response: 15 minutes.
Expiration Date: April 30, 2023.
Frequency of Response: Once every two years.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 7 hours [57 annual respondents x 1
response per 2 years x 15 minutes per response/60 minutes per response
= 7.125 hours rounded to 7 hours].
Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including: (1) whether the proposed
collection is necessary for the performance of FMCSA's functions; (2)
the accuracy of the estimated burden; (3) ways for FMCSA to enhance the
quality, usefulness, and clarity of the collected information; and (4)
ways that the burden could be minimized without reducing the quality of
the collected information. The Agency will summarize or include your
comments in the request for OMB's clearance of this ICR.
