Frequency of collection: On occasion. 

Title: Requirements for United 

Nations (UN) Cylinders. 

OMB Control Number: 2137–0621. 

Summary: This information collection 

and recordkeeping burden is the result 

of efforts to amend the HMR to adopt 

standards for the design, construction, 

maintenance and use of cylinders and 

multiple-element gas containers 

(MEGCs) based on the standards 

contained in the United Nations (UN) 

Recommendations on the Transport of 

Dangerous Goods. Aligning the HMR 

with the UN Recommendations 

promotes flexibility, permits the use of 

technological advances for the 

manufacture of the pressure receptacles, 

provides for a broader selection of 

pressure receptacles, reduces the need 

for special permits, and facilitates 

international commerce in the 

transportation of compressed gases. 

Information collection requirements 

address domestic and international 

manufacturers of cylinders that request 

approval by the approval agency for 

cylinder design types. The approval 

process for each cylinder design type 

includes review, filing, and 

recordkeeping of the approval 

application. The approval agency is 

required to maintain a set of the 

approved drawings and calculations for 

each design it reviews and a copy of 

each initial design type approval 

certificate approved by the Associate 

Administrator for not less than 20 years. 

Affected Public: Fillers, owners, users, 

and retesters of UN cylinders.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: An agency 

that has acquired property or service 

from a business concern and has failed 

to pay for the complete delivery of 

property or service by the required 

payment date shall pay the business 

concern an interest penalty. 31 U.S.C. 

3902(a). The Contract Disputes Act of 

1978, Sec. 12, Public Law 95–563, 92 

Stat. 2389, and the Prompt Payment Act 

of 1982, 31 U.S.C. 3902(a), provide for 

the calculation of interest due on claims 

at the rate established by the Secretary 

of the Treasury. 

The Secretary of the Treasury has the 

authority to specify the rate by which 

the interest shall be computed for 

interest payments under § 12 of the 

Contract Disputes Act of 1978 and 

under the Prompt Payment Act. Under 

the Prompt Payment Act, if an interest 

penalty is owed to a business concern, 

the penalty shall be paid regardless of 

whether the business concern requested 

payment of interest. 31 U.S.C. 

3902(c)(1). Agencies must pay the 

interest penalty calculated with the 

interest rate, which is in effect at the 

time the agency accrues the obligation 

to pay a late payment interest penalty. 

31 U.S.C. 3902(a). ‘‘The interest penalty 

shall be paid for the period beginning 

on the day after the required payment 

date and ending on the date on which 

payment is made.’’ 31 U.S.C. 3902(b). 

Therefore, notice is given that the 

Secretary of the Treasury has 

determined that the rate of interest 

applicable for the period beginning 

January 1, 2011, and ending on June 30, 

2011, is 25⁄8 per centum per annum.
