Abstract: This is to request approval from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for a three-year renewal for the information collection titled, "Flammable Cryogenic Liquids", OMB Control No. 2137-0542. This information collection is mandatory for cargo tank carriers transporting flammable cryogenic liquids. This reporting and recordkeeping requirements is required each time a carrier transports a cargo tank carrying flammable cryogenic liquids. The carrier must create a written record indicating details such as the one-way travel time, the pressure of the tank at discharge, ambient (outside) temperature, and indications of valve pressures during loading and unloading operations. This report is provided to subsequent drivers to ensure that they are aware of the cargo tank integrity from previous trips. These reports ensure that the integrity of the cargo tank is maintained and appropriate actions are taken by a driver in the event of an accident or incident, excessive pressure, or delayed transport. Furthermore, they ensure that a driver can determine that the cargo tank was loaded within its proper limits and that the cargo tank or its insulation has not been compromised.
