I. Background
Article 24.26 of the USMCA
establishes an Environment Committee
composed of senior government
representatives. The Committee
oversees implementation of the
Environment Chapter and provides a
forum to discuss and review
implementation issues. USMCA
requires the Committee to meet within
one year of the date of entry into force
and every two years thereafter unless
the Parties otherwise agree. All
Committee decisions and reports will be
made publicly available, unless the
Parties decide otherwise. The
Committee will provide for public input
on matters relevant to its work, as
appropriate, and hold a public session
at each meeting.
II. Committee Meeting
On June 17, 2021, the Committee will
meet virtually in a government-togovernment session. During the meeting
the Parties will: (1) Review
implementation of Chapter 24
(Environment), and discuss how the
Parties are meeting their Chapter 24
obligations, and (2) receive a
presentation from the Commission on
Environmental Cooperation (CEC)
Secretariat on cooperation and public
Submissions for Enforcement Matters
(SEMs). This session will not be open to
the public.
III. Public Session on USMCA Chapter
24 Implementation
Following the government-togovernment session, the Committee
invites all interested persons to attend a
virtual public session on USMCA
Chapter 24 implementation. At the
public session, the Committee will
welcome questions, input, and
information concerning implementation
of the Chapter 24 obligations. The
Committee will address questions raised
in comments submitted to USTR, and
through a live chat function overseen by
a moderator. Prior to the meeting, USTR
will make details on how to access the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
1320.8(d), title 5, Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to
provide interested members of the
public and affected agencies an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping requests.
This notice identifies information
collection requests that PHMSA will be
submitting to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for renewal and
extension. These information
collections are contained in 49 CFR
171.6 of the Hazardous Materials
Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171–
180). PHMSA has revised burden
estimates, where appropriate, to reflect
current reporting levels or adjustments
based on changes in proposed or final
rules published since the information
collections were last approved. The
following information is provided for
each information collection: (1) Title of
the information collection, including
former title if a change is being made;
(2) OMB control number; (3) summary
of the information collection activity; (4)
description of affected public; (5)
estimate of total annual reporting and
recordkeeping burden; and (6)
frequency of collection. PHMSA will
request a 3-year term of approval for
each information collection activity and
will publish a notice in the Federal
Register upon OMB’s approval.
PHMSA requests comments on the
following information collections:
Title: Rulemaking, Special Permits,
and Preemption Requirements.
OMB Control Number: 2137–0051.
Summary: This information collection
applies to procedures for requesting
changes, exceptions, and other
determinations in relation to the HMR.
Specific areas covered in this
information collection include part 105,
subparts A and B, ‘‘Hazardous Materials
Program Definitions and General
Procedures’’; part 106, subpart B,
‘‘Participating in the Rulemaking
Process’’; part 107, subpart B, ‘‘Special

PO 00000

Frm 00119

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

Permits’’; and part 107, subpart C,
‘‘Preemption.’’ The Federal hazardous
materials transportation law directs the
Secretary of Transportation to prescribe
regulations for the safe transportation of
hazardous materials in commerce.
PHMSA is authorized to accept
petitions for rulemaking and appeals, as
well as applications for special permits,
preemption determinations, and waivers
of preemption. The types of information
collected include:
(1) Petitions for Rulemaking: Any
person may petition PHMSA to add,
amend, or delete a regulation in parts
110, 130, 171 through 180, or may
petition the Office of the Chief Counsel
to add, amend, or delete a regulation in
parts 105, 106, or 107. Petitions
submitted to PHMSA are required to
contain information as specified by
§ 106.100 of the HMR.
(2) Appeals: Except as provided in
§ 106.40(e), any person may submit an
appeal to our actions in accordance with
the Appeals procedures found in
§§ 106.110 through 106.130.
(3) Applications for Special Permit:
Any person applying for a special
permit must include the citation of the
specific regulation from which the
applicant seeks relief; specification of
the proposed mode or modes of
transportation; detailed description of
the proposed special permit (e.g.,
alternative packaging, test, procedure, or
activity), including as appropriate,
written descriptions, drawings, flow
charts, plans and other supporting
documents, etc. Under this OMB control
number, applicants may apply for a new
special permit, renew or modify an
existing special permit, or request party
status to a special permit. These
procedures can be found in part 107,
subpart B of the HMR.
(4) Applications for Preemption
Determination: With the exception of
highway routing matters covered under
49 U.S.C. 5125(c), any person directly
affected by any requirement of a State,
political subdivision, or Native
American Tribe may apply to the Chief
Counsel for a determination whether
that requirement is preempted by
§ 107.202(a), (b), or (c). The application
must include the text of the State,
political subdivision, or Native
American Tribe requirement for which
the determination is sought; specify
each requirement of the Federal
hazardous materials transportation law,
regulations issued under the Federal
hazardous material transportation law,
or hazardous material transportation
security regulations or directives issued
by the Secretary of Homeland Security
with which the applicant seeks the
State, political subdivision, or Native

E:\FR\FM\18MYN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 94 / Tuesday, May 18, 2021 / Notices
American Tribe requirement to be
compared; explain why the applicant
believes the State, political subdivision,
or Native American Tribe requirement
should or should not be preempted
under the standards of § 107.202; and
state how the applicant is affected by
the State, political subdivision, or
Native American Tribe requirement.
(5) Waivers of Preemption: With the
exception of requirements preempted
under 49 U.S.C. 5125(c), any person
may apply to the Chief Counsel for a
waiver of preemption with respect to
any requirement that: (1) The State,
political subdivision thereof, or Native
American Tribe acknowledges to be
preempted under the Federal hazardous
materials transportation law, or (2) has
been determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be so
preempted. The Chief Counsel may
waive preemption with respect to such

requirement upon a determination that
such requirement affords an equal or
greater level of protection to the public
than is afforded by the requirements of
the Federal hazardous materials
transportation law or the regulations
issued thereunder, and does not
unreasonably burden commerce.
The information collected under these
application procedures is used in the
review process by PHMSA in
determining the merits of the petitions
for rulemakings and for reconsideration
of rulemakings, as well as applications
for special permits, preemption
determinations, and waivers of
preemption to the HMR. The procedures
governing these petitions for rulemaking
and for reconsideration of rulemakings
are covered in subpart B of part 106.
Applications for special permits,
preemption, determinations, and
waivers of preemption are covered

Rulemaking procedures help PHMSA
determine if a regulatory change is
necessary, is consistent with public
interest, and maintains a level of safety
equal to or superior to that of current
regulations. Special permit procedures
provide the information required for
analytical purposes to determine if the
requested relief provides for a
comparable level of safety as provided
by the HMR. Additionally, PHMSA uses
information from preemption
procedures to determine whether a
requirement of a State, political
subdivision, or Indian tribe is
preempted under 49 U.S.C. 5125, or
regulations issued thereunder, or
whether a waiver of preemption should
be issued. The following information
