Abstract: This is a request for renewal with change of an information collection for United Nations (UN) Pressure Receptacles. The information collection is mandatory for regulated entities who wish to manufacture UN Pressure Receptacles and is a reporting and recordkeeping requirement. Those entities subject to this information collection are required to submit an application for approval of new design types whenever they wish to manufacture a new UN Pressure Receptacle, which is reviewed and approved by PHMSA. During enforcement inspections, DOT officials may request to see a copy of the appropriate information. The purpose of this collection is to ensure that UN Pressure Receptacles, align with International requirements and provide an adequate level of safety to DOT cylinders. There are no changes to the total number of burden hours for the renewal of this OMB Control Number. However, there is a change in the number of responses and total burden cost. During review of this burden, PHMSA noted it has historically consolidated reporting and recordkeeping requirements into one information collection. As demonstrated throughout this justification, there are two different reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which PHMSA is now identifying. However, this did not change the number of total burden hours, because no changes were made to the UN Pressure Receptacle requirements.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in this information collection burden is due to a reevaluation of this burden by PHMSA. Specifically, in evaluating this information collection, PHMSA determined this requirement should be revised as two different information collections—one for reporting and the other for recordkeeping. Historically, PHMSA has reporting these requirements as a single information collection. The change in number of responses and annual burden costs differs because of this adjustment; the burden hours have not been changed because there was no change in the regulatory requirements for UN Pressure Receptacles approvals.
