This is a request for the approval with change of an existing approval under OMB Control No. 21370572, applicable to the Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171-180). This information collection supports the Departmental Strategic Goal for Safety. The HMR are promulgated in accordance with 49 U.S.C. 5110, the Federal hazardous materials transportation law. The strength and integrity of non-bulk packaging (maximum 119-gallon capacity) is established by a series of performance tests. Depending on the HMR requirements, the packaging must pass or be capable of passing specified tests to be authorized for the carriage of hazardous materials. For example, a Class 3, Flammable liquid, packing group (PG) II material must be placed in a packaging that has been built to certain specifications and has passed all appropriate tests, including specific tests for liquid hazardous material (such as leakproofness testing). In addition, the package must be rated to a PG I or II strength, which is related to the strength of the packaging—a higher hazard for a material, requires a high/stronger packaging integrity. The HMR allows for a variety of materials and sizes/types of packaging, such as steel drums, aluminum drums, and aluminum jerricans. Unless specifically excepted in the HMR, all hazardous materials transported in a package with a capacity less than 119 gallons must meet these standards and pass appropriate testing to ensure that the package will be capable of transporting the hazardous materials safely.
