Hazardous Materials Security Plans

OMB 2137-0612 · DOT/PHMSA.

OMB 2137-0612

This information request is mandatory for offerors and carriers of certain hazardous materials to develop and implement a security plan. This collection is a reporting and recordkeeping requirement, which must be evaluated on an annual basis, as long as the hazardous materials subject to security plan requirements are still offered and/or carried. Security plans are required to be maintained at the principal place of business and must be made available, at a reasonable time and location, to an authorized official of the Department of Transportation or Department of Homeland Security. This information collection requires the evaluation of transportation security risks, including site-specific or location-specific risks associated with facilities at which the hazardous materials are prepared for transportation, stored, or unloaded incidental to movement. In addition, rail carriers of certain hazardous materials, are subject to additional security plan requirements, including the selection of the most practicable route posing the least overall safety and security risk. Security plans reduce the possibility that a hazardous material shipment will be used as a weapon of opportunity by terrorists. The requested change stems from a final rule published on September 1, 2023, titled “Hazardous Materials: Suspension of HMR Amendments Authorizing Transportation of Liquefied Natural Gas by Rail” [HM-264A; 09/01/2023] which prohibits Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) transportation in rail tank cars until issuance of a final rule concluding the rulemaking proceeding under RIN 2137-AF54, or June 30, 2024, whichever is earlier.

The latest form for Hazardous Materials Security Plans expires 2027-02-28 and is listed under ICR 202311-2137-001.
