Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks - Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail

OMB 2137-0559 · DOT/PHMSA.

OMB 2137-0559

This is to request the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) three-year renewal with change of the information collection titled, “Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks – Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail” under OMB Control No. 2137-0559, which is currently due to expire on November 30, 2026. The Department of Transportation (DOT) has collected information related to transportation by rail car since the creation of the DOT in 1967. This OMB control number was first approved on March 7, 1984, and was initiated as a result of an information collection for the approval of tank cars for Hyrdocyancic Acid Service. This OMB Control Number was broadened on January 17, 1986, to include rail carrier and tank car requirements that contained information collections. The requested change stems from a final rule published on June 24, 2024, titled “Hazardous Materials: FAST Act Requirements for Real-Time Train Consist Information” [HM-263; 89 FR 52956], which require all railroads to generate in electronic form, maintain, and provide to first responders, emergency response officials, and law enforcement personnel, certain information regarding hazardous materials in rail transportation to enhance emergency response and investigative efforts.

The latest form for Rail Carrier and Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks - Transportation of Hazardous Materials by Rail expires 2027-09-30 and is listed under ICR 202406-2137-002.
