Yesterday the OMB’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) announced (see below for links) final action on two information collection requests (ICRs) revisions submitted by DOT’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA). Both ICR’s were submitted as part of notices of proposed rulemaking (NPRMs) published last year by PHMSA. OIRA has provided comments on the proposed rulemaking dockets (not yet listed because yesterday was a federal holiday) and ordered PHMSA to continue the current ICR, pending publication of the final rule.
The two ICR’s are:
• Rail Carrier and
Tank Car Tanks Requirements, Rail Tank Car Tanks - Transportation of Hazardous
Materials by Rail (2137-0559),
NPRM,
Comment
Docket,
• Hazardous Materials Shipping Papers & Emergency Response Information (2137-0034), NPRM, Comment Docket.
These two NPRM’s were part of a tranche of rulemaking’s
PHMSA published on July 1st, 2025 (see my brief posts here
and here),
part of the Administration’s move to reduce regulatory burdens. Interestingly,
the second ICR “reflects a[n] increase in responses, burden hours and salary
cost”, due to new reporting requirements.
