Abstract: This is a request for an extension of an existing information collection under OMB Control No. 2137-0022 for reporting and recordkeeping requirements pertaining to manufacturers, requalifiers, and repairers of DOT Specification Cylinders. This information is used to verify that cylinders meet required manufacturing standards prior to being authorized for initial use, and once in use, that the cylinders are maintained and used in compliance with applicable requirements of the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR Parts 171-180) as safe packagings for hazardous materials. The HMR are promulgated in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5110, the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. This information collection supports the Departmental Strategic Goal for Safety. The requested change stems from a final rule published on December 28, 2020, titled “Hazardous Materials: Miscellaneous Amendments Pertaining to DOT-Specification Cylinders” [HM 234; 85 FR 85380], which revised certain requirements for the manufacture, use, and requalification of DOT-specification cylinders. Some of these revisions result in an increase in reporting requirements of this OMB control number. In addition, PHMSA has adjusted four information collections to account for the actual number of cylinder manufacture and requalification facilities, based on the current number of approvals that PHMSA has issued.
