Information Collection Activity
AGENCY: Research and Special Programs Administration (RSPA), DOT.
ACTION: Notice of information collection approval
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, this
notice announces the emergency approval by the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) of an information collection request (ICR). An emergency
interim final rule (IFR) regarding cargo tank motor vehicles in
liquefied compressed gas service contained the ICR and was published in
the Federal Register on February 19, 1997, in Docket No. RSPA-97-2133
(HM225) with a 60-day comment period (62 FR 7638). The ICR describes
the nature of the information collection and its expected cost and
burden.
DATES: OMB approval of the information collection request expires
August 15, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Deborah Boothe, Office of Hazardous
Materials Standards (DHM-10), Research and Special Programs
Administration, Room 8102, 400 Seventh Street, S.W., Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OMB regulations (5 CFR 1320) implementing
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA) (Pub. L. 104-
13; 109 Stat.163; 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.) require that interested
members of the public and affected agencies be given an opportunity to
comment on information collection and recordkeeping activities (see 5
CFR 1320.8(d)). Under the PRA, no person is required to respond to an
information collection unless it displays a valid OMB control number.
The IFR requires that a comprehensive emergency operating procedure
be developed for all liquefied compressed gas transfer operations. The
information collection and recordkeeping requirements contained in the
IFR have received emergency approval by OMB under the provisions of the
PRA. The OMB control number for the information collection is 2137-
0595, and the approval expires August 15, 1997. The comment period for
the IFR, including the information collection requirements, closes
April 21, 1997. If RSPA receives substantive comments on the
information collection requirements, a revised ICR will be submitted to
OMB for emergency approval. RSPA estimates that the total information
collection and recordkeeping burden of the IFR is 18,753 hours, at a
cost of $422,660, for the development and maintenance of the
comprehensive emergency operating procedure. Requests for a copy of
this information collection should be directed to the address above.
Issued in Washington, DC on February 27, 1997.

Director, Office of Hazardous Materials Standards.
