Section
1320.8 (d), title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies an information
collection request that PHMSA will be
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for revision.
Specifically, PHMSA is notifying the
public of its intent to seek additional
information in hazardous materials
planning grant applications. This
information collection is contained in
49 CFR 171.6 of the Hazardous
Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR
parts 171–180). PHMSA has revised
burden estimates, where appropriate, to
reflect current reporting levels or
adjustments based on a proposed
revision to this information collection.
The following information is provided
for this information collection: (1) Title
of the information collection, including
former title if a change is being made;
(2) OMB control number; (3) summary
of the information collection activity; (4)
description of affected public; (5)
estimate of total annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden; and (6)
frequency of collection. PHMSA will
request a 3-year term of approval for this
information collection activity.
On February 28, 2019, PHMSA
published a final rule titled ‘‘Hazardous
Materials: Oil Spill Response Plans and
Information Sharing for High-Hazard
Flammable Trains (FAST Act)’’ [HM–
251B; 84 FR 6910] which revised and
clarified requirements for
Comprehensive Oil Spill Response
Plans (COSRPs) and expanded their
applicability based on petroleum oil
thresholds that apply to an entire train
consist. The final rule also requires a
railroad to share information about
high-hazard flammable train (HHFT)
operations with each State emergency
response commissions (SERC), Tribal
Emergency Response Commission
(TERC), or other appropriate Statedelegated agency in each State through
which it operates to improve
community preparedness. At a
minimum, railroads must provide: (1) A
reasonable estimate of the number of
HHFTs that the railroad expects to
operate each week, through each county
within the State or through each tribal
jurisdiction; (2) the routes over which
the HHFTs will operate; (3) a
description of the hazardous materials
being transported and all applicable

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

emergency response information
required by the shipping papers and
emergency response information
requirements of the HMR; (4) an HHFT
point of contact; and (5) a description of
the response zones (including counties
and states) and the contact information
for the qualified individual and
alternate as specified under § 130.120(c)
if a route identified above is
additionally subject to the
comprehensive spill plan requirements.
In addition, the HHFT notification must
be maintained and transmitted in
accordance with the following: (1)
Railroads must update the notifications
for changes in volume greater than 25%;
(2) notifications and updates may be
transmitted electronically or by hard
copy; (3) if the disclosure includes
information that a railroad believes is
security sensitive or proprietary and
exempt from public disclosure, the
railroad should indicate that in the
notification; (4) each point of contact
must be clearly identified by name or
title, and contact role (e.g., qualified
individual, HHFT point of contact) in
association with the telephone number.
One point of contact may fulfill
multiple roles; and (5) copies of the
railroad’s notifications made under this
section must be made available to the
Department of Transportation upon
request.
Following an audit conducted by the
General Accounting Office (GAO),
PHMSA received a recommendation
(GAO–17–91) to develop a process for
regularly collecting information from
SERCs on the distribution of the
railroad-provided hazardous materials
shipping information to local planning
entities. In response to this
recommendation, PHMSA will have
grant applicants declare if SERCs have
received copies of the railroad-provided
information detailed above. In addition,
PHMSA will determine if the SERCs are
disseminating this information to local
planning entities. PHMSA expects that
requesting grantees to provide this
additional information will add
approximately 2 minutes of burden time
per respondent. For 62 grantees, this is
approximately 2 additional burden
hours (62 grantees × 2 minutes).
A Federal Register Notice with a 60day comment period soliciting
comments on this information
collection was published on November
26, 2019 [84 FR 65213].
PHMSA received no comments to the
60-day notice.
