and theft prevention standards 

administered by NHTSA. The 

information collection also includes the 

Department of Transportation (DOT) 

conformance bond that is furnished to 

CBP (on form HS–474) for each motor 

vehicle offered for importation that does 

not conform to all applicable Federal 

motor vehicle safety standards 

(FMVSS). The bond ensures that such 

vehicles are brought into conformity 

with those standards within 120 days 

from the date of entry or are exported 

from, or abandoned to, the United 

States. The information collection also 

includes paperwork that must be 

submitted to NHTSA and in some 

instances retained by registered 

importers (RIs) of motor vehicles that 

were not originally manufactured to 

comply with all applicable FMVSS. 

These items include information that a 

person or business entity must submit to 

NHTSA to be registered as an RI and to 

retain that status. The paperwork also 

includes the statement of conformity 

that an RI must submit to NHTSA 

following the completion of 

conformance modifications on an 

imported nonconforming vehicle to 

obtain release of the DOT conformance 

bond furnished for the vehicle at the 

time of entry. Also included is the 

petition that an RI or manufacturer may 

submit to NHTSA for the agency to 

decide that a vehicle that was not 

originally manufactured to comply with 

all applicable FMVSS is capable of 

being modified to conform to those 

standards and is therefore eligible for 

importation under 49 U.S.C. 30141. The 

information collection also includes 

applications that are filed with NHTSA 

for permission to import nonconforming 

vehicles for purposes of research, 

investigations, demonstrations, training, 

competitive racing events, and show or 

display, as well as applications 

requesting the agency to recognize 

vehicles manufactured for racing 

purposes as being qualified to be 

imported as vehicles that were not 

primarily manufactured for use on 

public roads, precluding the need for 

those vehicles to comply with the 

FMVSS. This information collection is 

necessary to ensure that motor vehicles 

and motor vehicle equipment subject to 

the Federal motor vehicle safety, 

bumper, and theft prevention standards 

are lawfully imported into the United 

States and that RIs and applicants for RI 

status are capable of meeting their 

obligations under the statutes and 

regulations governing the importation of 

nonconforming vehicles. 

Affected Public: Individuals and 

commercial entities that import motor 

vehicles or motor vehicle equipment 

subject to the FMVSS and vehicles that 

are not primarily manufactured for use 

on public roads, as well as applicants 

for RI status and existing RIs. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden: 

42,413 hours; $1,655,613.00. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments, within 

30 days, to the Office of Information and 

Regulatory Affairs, Office of 

Management and Budget, 725–17th 

Street, NW., Washington, DC 20503, 

Attention NHTSA Desk Officer. 

Comments are invited on: 

• Whether the proposed collection of 

information is necessary for the proper 

performance of the functions of the 

Department, including whether the 

information will have practical utility. 

• Whether the Department’s estimate 

of the burden of the proposed 

information collection is accurate. 

• Ways to enhance the quality, utility 

and clarity of the information to be 

collected. 

• Ways to minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on 

respondents, including the use of 

automated collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology. 

A comment to OMB is most effective 

if OMB receives it within 30 days of 

publication.

PHMSA has forwarded two Information 

Collection Requests to the Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) for the 

renewal and extension of two 

information collections: ‘‘Reporting of 

Safety-Related Conditions on Gas, 

Hazardous Liquid and Carbon Dioxide 

Pipelines and Liquefied Natural Gas 

Facilities’’ (2137–0578) and ‘‘Drug and 

Alcohol Testing of Pipeline Operators’’

(2137–0579). The purpose of this notice 

is to invite the public to submit 

comments on the requests to OMB. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

September 12, 2007.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Roger Little at (202) 366–4569, or by email at roger.little@dot.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice identifies two existing 

information collections PHMSA is 

submitting to OMB for renewal and 

extension. These information 

collections are found in 49 CFR Parts 

192, 195, and 199 of the pipeline safety 

regulations. PHMSA has revised the 

burden estimates, where appropriate, to 

reflect current reporting levels or 

adjustments based on changes made 

since the last information collection 

approvals. PHMSA is now requesting 

that OMB grant a three-year term of 

approval for both information 

collections. 

Pursuant to 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, PHMSA is required to obtain 

OMB approval for information 

collections. The term ‘‘information 

collection’’ includes all work related to 

preparing and disseminating 

information related to these information 

collection requirements including 

completing paperwork, gathering 

information, and conducting telephone 

calls. PHMSA published a notice 

providing a 60-day period for comments 

on the renewal of information in the 

Federal Register on Friday 8, 2007 (72 

FR 31896–31897), and received no 

comments. PHMSA invites comments 

on whether the proposed information 

collections are necessary for DOT’s 

proper performance. The comments may 

include (1) whether the information will 

have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of 

DOT’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed information collections; (3) 

ways to enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information collection; and 

(4) ways to minimize the burden of the 

information collection on respondents, 

including the use of automated 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology. 

Title of Information Collection 

Request: Reporting of Safety-Realted 

Conditions ono Gas, Hazardous Liquid

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The IAEA is the world’s center of 

cooperation in the nuclear field. The 

Agency works with its Member States 

and multiple partners worldwide to 

promote safe, secure and peaceful 

nuclear technologies. The IAEA 

established and maintains an 

international standard, Regulations for 

the Safe Transport of Radioactive 

Material (TS–R–1), to promote the safe 

and secure transportation of radioactive 

material. The IAEA periodically revises 

its Regulations for the Safe Transport of 

Radioactive Material to reflect new 

information and accumulated 

experience. The DOT is the U.S. 

competent authority before the IAEA for 

radioactive material transportation 

matters. The NRC provides technical 

support to the DOT in this regard, 

particularly with regard to Type B and 

fissile transportation packages. 

The IAEA recently initiated the 

review cycle for a potential 2011 edition 

of its regulations. To assure opportunity 

for public participation in the 

international regulatory development 

process, the DOT and the NRC are 

soliciting comments and information 

concerning issues or problems with the 

IAEA Regulations. 

The focus of this solicitation is to 

identify issues or problems with the 

2005 edition of TS–R–1. While it is 

helpful to identify potential changes or 

solutions to resolve the identified issues 

or problems, you need not provide a 

proposed change to accompany each 

identified issue or problem. This 

information will assist the DOT and the 

NRC to consider the full range of views 

as the agencies develop the proposed 

issues the United States will submit to 

the IAEA. 

II. Public Participation 

Proposed issues or identified 

problems should identify docket 

number PHMSA–07–28590 (Notice No. 

07–6). Persons wishing to receive 

confirmation of receipt of their 

proposals should include a selfaddressed stamped postcard. Internet 

users may access all proposals received 

by the U.S. Department of 

Transportation at http://dms.dot.gov. 

Proposals must be submitted in 

writing (electronic file on disk in 

Microsoft Word format preferred) and 

should include: 

• Name; 

• Address; 

• Telephone number; 

• E-mail address; 

• Principal objective of issue or 

identified problem (e.g., required to 

provide adequate protection to health
