OMB Approves PHMSA HM Security Plan ICR Revision

Yesterday, the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced that it had approved a revision of an existing information collection request from DOD’s Pipeline and Hazardous Material Safety Administration (PHMSA) on “Hazardous Materials Security Plans”. During an otherwise routine renewal request for the ICR, PHMSA reduced the burden estimate to reflect changes in the number of expected security plans caused by the cancellation of approval to ship liquified natural gas by rail. This resulted in a reduction in the number of expected responses by 8 and the number of hours burden estimate by 680.
