The proposed collection of information will be used by FRA to ensure that tank car owners comply with the requirements of this Safety Directive by inspecting and identifying tank cars in their fleet equipped with any unapproved McKenzie UNNR threaded ball valves. Tank car owners are required to provide the reporting mark and number of each car equipped with any McKenzie valve and the type of valve each car is equipped with. Tank car owners are also required to create records of each McKenzie valve inspection and keep them for 6 months. FRA inspectors will use these records to ensure that inspections are carried out and McKenzie valves are replaced .
FRA is requesting Emergency processing upon publication of the required Federal Register Notice on March 18, 2015, see 80 FR 14238, because FRA cannot reasonably comply with normal clearance procedures on account of use of normal clearance procedures is reasonably likely to disrupt the collection of information. Additionally, in light of recent tank car accidents/incidents carrying crude oil and other hazardous materials, FRA believes safety is an issue. The Directive takes effect immediately upon issuance. FRA cannot wait the normal 90- to180-day period for routine Office of Management and Budget (OMB) review and approval. Under the Directive, tank car owners must take immediate action to identify, inspect, and repair the valves. Therefore, FRA is requesting OMB approval of this collection of information immediately.
