Requirements for United Nations (UN) Cylinders

This is a request for renewal with change of an information collection for United Nations (UN) Pressure Receptacles. The information collection is mandatory for regulated entities who wish to manufacture UN Pressure Receptacles and is a reporting and recordkeeping requirement. Those entities subject to this information collection are required to submit an application for approval of new design types whenever they wish to manufacture a new UN Pressure Receptacle, which is reviewed and approved by PHMSA. During enforcement inspections, DOT officials may request to see a copy of the appropriate information. The purpose of this collection is to ensure that UN Pressure Receptacles, align with International requirements and provide an adequate level of safety to DOT cylinders. There are no changes to the total number of burden hours for the renewal of this OMB Control Number. However, there is a change in the number of responses and total burden cost. During review of this burden, PHMSA noted it has historically consolidated reporting and recordkeeping requirements into one information collection. As demonstrated throughout this justification, there are two different reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which PHMSA is now identifying. However, this did not change the number of total burden hours, because no changes were made to the UN Pressure Receptacle requirements.
