Abstract: This is a request for an extension without change of OMB Control No. 2137-0014 for reporting and recordkeeping requirements pertaining to the manufacture, certification, inspection, repair, maintenance, and re-qualification of Department of Transportation (DOT) specification cargo tank motor vehicles. Reporting and recordkeeping requirements contained in this request have been determined by PHMSA to be essential. The HMR prescribe requirements for the operation, maintenance, repair, and re-qualification of all DOT specification cargo tanks to decrease the probability and number of hazardous material releases due to an accident or tank failure. These requirements are based on ongoing research, petitions for rulemaking, and incident reports on the release of hazardous materials related to cargo tank motor vehicle transportation. Cargo tank manufacturing, registration, and qualification and maintenance requirements are found in Part 178, Subpart J, Part 180, Subpart E, and Part 107, Subpart F, respectively. Manufacturers, assemblers, repairers, requalifiers, motor carriers, and operators of DOT specification cargo motor vehicles are subject to these reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Rulemaking and current regulatory authority is from the Federal hazardous materials transportation law (49 U.S.C. 5101 et seq.).
