VIII. Termination 

The FMCSA does not believe the team 

drivers covered by the exemption will 

experience any deterioration of their 

safety record. However, should this 

occur, FMCSA will take all steps 

necessary to protect the public interest, 

including revocation of the exemption. 

The FMCSA will immediately revoke 

the exemption for failure to comply 

with its terms and conditions.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

1320.8(d), title 5, Code of Federal 

Regulations (CFR) requires PHMSA to 

provide interested members of the 

public and affected agencies an 

opportunity to comment on information 

collection and recordkeeping requests. 

This notice identifies information 

collection requests that PHMSA will be 

submitting to the Office of Management

extension. These information 

collections are contained in 49 CFR 

171.6 of the Hazardous Materials 

Regulations (HMR; 49 CFR parts 171– 

180). PHMSA has revised burden 

estimates, where appropriate, to reflect 

current reporting levels or adjustments 

based on changes in proposed or final 

rules published since the information 

collections were last approved. The 

following information is provided for 

each information collection: (1) Title of 

the information collection, including 

former title if a change is being made; 

(2) OMB control number; (3) summary 

of the information collection activity; (4) 

description of affected public; (5) 

estimate of total annual reporting and 

recordkeeping burden; and (6) 

frequency of collection. PHMSA will 

request a 3-year term of approval for 

each information collection activity and 

will publish a notice in the Federal 

Register upon OMB’s approval. 

PHMSA requests comments on the 

following information collections: 

Title: Cargo Tank Specification 

Requirements. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0014. 

Summary: This information collection 

consolidates and describes the 

information collection provisions in 

parts 107, 178, and 180 of the HMR 

involving the manufacture, 

qualification, maintenance, and use of 

specification cargo tank motor vehicles. 

It also includes the information 

collection and recordkeeping 

requirements for persons who are 

engaged in the manufacture, assembly, 

requalification, and maintenance of 

DOT specification cargo tank motor 

vehicles. The types of information 

collected include: 

(1) Registration Statements: Cargo 

tank manufacturers and repairers, as 

well as cargo tank motor vehicle 

assemblers, are required to be registered 

with DOT and must furnish information 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 34 / Tuesday, February 23, 2021 / Notices 11053 

relative to their qualifications to 

perform the functions in accordance 

with the HMR. DOT uses the 

registration statements to identify these 

persons to ensure they possess the 

knowledge and skills necessary to 

perform the required functions in 

accordance with applicable regulations. 

(2) Requalification and Maintenance 

Reports: These reports are prepared by 

persons who requalify or maintain cargo 

tanks. This information is used by cargo 

tank owners, operators and users, and 

DOT compliance personnel to verify 

that the cargo tanks are requalified, 

maintained, and in proper condition for 

the transportation of hazardous 

materials. 

(3) Manufacturers’ Data Reports, 

Certificates, and Related Papers: These 

reports are prepared by cargo tank 

manufacturers and certifiers. They are 

used by cargo tank owners, operators, 

users, and DOT compliance personnel 

to verify that a cargo tank motor vehicle 

was designed and constructed to meet 

all requirements of the applicable 

specification.

OMB Control Number: 2137–0022. 

Summary: Requirements in § 173.301 

for the qualification, maintenance, and 

use of cylinders include periodic 

inspections and retesting to ensure 

continuing compliance with packaging 

standards. Information collection 

requirements address registration of 

retesters and marking of cylinders by 

retesters with their identification 

number and retest date following the 

completion of required tests. The 

cylinder owner or designated agent 

must keep records showing the results 

of inspections and retests either until 

expiration of the retest period or until 

the cylinder is re-inspected or retested, 

whichever occurs first. These 

requirements ensure that retesters have 

the qualifications to perform tests and 

identify to cylinder fillers and users that 

cylinders are qualified for continuing 

use. Information collection 

requirements in § 173.303 require that 

fillers of acetylene cylinders keep, for at 

least 30 days, a daily record of the 

representative pressure to which 

cylinders are filled. The following 

information collections and their
