SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section

1320.8(d), Title 5, Code of Federal

Regulations requires that RSPA provide

interested members of the public and

affected agencies an opportunity to

comment on information collection and

recordkeeping requests. This

information collection approval

originally was published under Docket

RSPA–97–2133 (HM–225), entitled

Hazardous Materials: Cargo Tank Motor

Vehicles in Liquefied Compressed Gas

Service, on February 19, 1997 (62 FR

7638) with a 60-day comment period

and was forwarded to OMB for

emergency approval. Notice of

Information Collection Approval, OMB

No. 2137–0595, was published under

RSPA Notice No. 97 on March 4, 1997

(62 FR 9819). RSPA is requesting an 18-

month emergency renewal and

extension for this information collection

activity and, when approved by OMB,

will publish notice of the approval in

the Federal Register.

RSPA requests comments on the

following information collection

renewal and extension:

Title: Cargo Tank Motor Vehicles in

Liquefied Compressed Gas Service.

OMB Control Number: 2137–0595.

Abstract: The reason for this

information collection activity and

burden is to ensure the safe operation of

certain cargo tank motor vehicles used

in the transportation of liquefied

compressed gases. Based on information

that emergency discharge shut-off

features on these types of cargo tanks do

not operate properly in emergency

situations, RSPA requires that motor

carrier and cargo tank operators develop

emergency operating procedures for

manually shutting off the flow of

product in the event of an emergency

and that a copy of the procedure be

displayed in or on each cargo tank

motor vehicle. The information

collection and recordkeeping burdens

are imposed on motor carriers and

operators of these cargo tank motor

vehicles.

Respondents: Each motor carrier

using a cargo tank motor vehicle which

does not conform to 49 CFR 178.337–

11(a)(1)(i) to carry liquefied compressed

gas products.

Annual Reporting and Recordkeeping:

Number of Respondents: 6,800.

Total Annual Responses: 25,000.

Total Annual Burden Hours: 18,573.

Frequency of collection: Procedures

are developed on a one-time basis and

are maintained on a vehicle on a

continuing basis while the vehicle is in

use.
