This is a request for extension of an
information collection for rulemaking, special permits, and
preemption requirements. The information collection is voluntary
for regulated entities who wish to submit a petition for a
rulemaking, special permit application, or preemption
determination. The information collected in this OMB control
number, include those persons who are requesting a change to the
regulations, applying for the allowance to perform a function other
than what is prescribed in the HMR, or seeking a preemption
determination. The petition for rulemaking and preemption
determination information collection are reporting requirements,
while the special permit application process is both a reporting
and recordkeeping requirement. The information is collected as
needed. The information collected is used in PHMSA’s review process
for determining the merits of petitions for rulemaking, special
permit applications, and preemption determinations, and requires
the submission of specific details on the reason for application.
For a special permit, enforcement officials of the DOT will review
the special permit at a reasonable time and location to ensure that
the special permit holder is complying with the requirements
outlined in the special permit authorization. The requested changes
come from a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) published on March
3, 2023 , titled “Adoption of Miscellaneous Petitions and Updating
Regulatory Requirements” [HM-219D; 88 FR 13624]. This NPRM proposes
to update, clarify, improve the safety of, or streamline various
regulatory requirements. Specifically, this rulemaking responds to
18 petitions for rulemaking submitted by the regulated community
between May 2018 and October 2020 that requests PHMSA address a
variety of provisions, including but not limited to those
addressing packaging, hazard communication, and the incorporation
by reference of certain documents.

This information collection
request reflects a proposed decrease in responses, burden hours and
salary cost. The proposed decreases stem from a NPRM published on
March 2, 2023, titled “Adoption of Miscellaneous Petitions and
Updating Regulatory Requirements” [HM-219D; 88 FR 13624].
Specifically, this decrease is due to the proposals in the NPRM no
longer requiring some entities to renew their special permits.
