Testing Requirements for Non-Bulk Packaging (Formerly: Testing Requirements for Packaging).

OMB 2137-0572

OMB 2137-0572

The information collected is mandatory for those persons manufacturing and testing performance-oriented packaging. This information collection includes both reporting and recordkeeping requirements, which must be completed following manufacture of a new package and provided to a representative of the DOT, upon request. Hazmat shippers, enforcement inspectors, and carriers use this information to ensure that the packaging is meeting the requirements of the regulations and to ensure that it has passed all appropriate tests. Performance-oriented packaging are packages (i.e. boxes, drums, jerricans, etc.) that are designed and tested to appropriate standards. When used correctly in transportation, they should ensure that the hazardous materials will be transported in a safe manner. Following manufacture of each packaging type, a test report and closure instructions must be created, signifying that the packaging type met the appropriate standards and detailing requirements for a shipper to replicate the method in which the package was tested. On May 11, 2020, PHMSA published a final rule titled “Hazardous Materials: Harmonization With International Standards” [HM-215O, 85 FR 27810]. In this final rule, PHMSA added a requirement that the water temperature be marked on the test report for plastic non-bulk packagings. Based on this new requirement, PHMSA estimates an increase in estimated burden hours.
