DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration 

National Hazardous Materials Route 

Registry 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), Department 

of Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice; revisions to the listing of 

designated and restricted routes for 

hazardous materials. 

SUMMARY: This notice provides revisions 

to the National Hazardous Materials 

Route Registry (NHMRR) reported to 

FMCSA from April 1, 2021 through 

March 31, 2022. The NHMRR is a 

listing, as reported by States and Tribal 

governments, of all designated and 

restricted roads and preferred highway 

routes for transportation of highway 

route controlled quantities of Class 7 

radioactive materials (HRCQ/RAM) and 

non-radioactive hazardous materials 

(NRHM). 

DATES: These revisions are effecive May 

11, 2022. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Melissa Williams, Hazardous Materials 

Division, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance, FMCSA, 1200 New Jersey 

Avenue SE, Washington, DC 20590– 

0001, (202) 366–4163, 

melissa.williams@dot.gov. Office hours 

are from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., ET., Monday 

through Friday, except for Federal 

holidays. 

Legal Basis and Background 

Paragraphs (a)(2) and (b) of section 

5112 of title 49 United States Code 

(U.S.C.) permit States and Tribal 

governments to designate and limit 

highway routes over which hazardous 

materials (HM) may be transported, 

provided the State or Tribal government 

complies with standards prescribed by 

the Secretary of Transportation (the 

Secretary) and meets publication 

requirements in section 5112(c). To 

establish standards under paragraph (b), 

the Secretary must consult with the 

States, and, under section 5112(c), 

coordinate with the States to ‘‘update 

and publish periodically’’ a list of 

currently effective HM highway routing 

designations and restrictions. The 

requirements that States and Tribal 

governments must follow to establish, 

maintain, or enforce routing 

designations for the transport of 

placardable quantities of NRHM are set 

forth in 49 CFR part 397, subpart C. 

Subpart D of part 397 sets out the 

requirements for designating preferred 

routes for HRCQ/RAM shipments as an 

alternative, or in addition, to Interstate 

System highways. For HRCQ/RAM 

shipments, § 397.101 defines a preferred 

route as an Interstate Highway for which 

no alternative route is designated by the 

State; a route specifically designated by 

the State; or both. (See § 397.65 for the 

definitions of NRHM and routing 

designations.) 

Under a delegation from the 

Secretary,1 FMCSA has authority to 

implement 49 U.S.C. 5112. 

Currently, 49 CFR 397.73 establishes 

public information and reporting 

requirements for NRHM. States or Tribal 

governments are required to furnish 

information regarding any new or 

changed routes to FMCSA within 60 

days after establishment. Under 49 CFR 

397.103, a State routing designation for 

HRCQ/RAM routes (preferred routes) as 

an alternative, or in addition, to an 

Interstate System highway, is effective 

when the authorized routing agency 

provides FMCSA with written 

notification, FMCSA acknowledges 

receipt in writing, and the route is 

published in FMCSA’s NHMRR. The 

Office of Management and Budget has 

approved these collections of 

information under control number 

2126–0014, Transportation of 

Hazardous Materials, Highway Routing. 

In this notice, FMCSA is merely 

performing the ministerial function of 

updating and publishing the NHMRR 

based on input from its State and Tribal 

partners under 49 U.S.C. 5112(c)(1). 

Accordingly, this notice serves only to 

provide the most recent revisions to the 

NHMRR; it does not establish any new 

public information and reporting 

requirements. 

Updates to the NHMRR 

FMCSA published the full NHMRR in 

a Federal Register notice on April 29, 

2015 (80 FR 23859). Since publication 

of the 2015 notice, FMCSA published 

five updates to the NHMRR in Federal 

Register notices on August 8, 2016 (81 

FR 52518), August 9, 2018 (83 FR 

39500), September 24, 2019 (84 FR 

50098), June 3, 2020 (85 FR 34284), and 

June 17, 2021 (86 FR 32306). 

This notice provides revisions to the 

NHMRR, reported to FMCSA from April 

1, 2021 through March 31, 2022. The 

revisions to the NHMRR listings in this 

notice supersede and replace 

corresponding NHMRR listings 

published in the April 29, 2015 notice 

and corresponding revisions to the 

NHMRR listings published in the 

August 8, 2016, August 9, 2018, 

September 24, 2019, June 3, 2020 and 

June 17, 2021 notices. Continue to refer 

to the April 29, 2015 notice for 

additional background on the NHMRR 

and the August 8, 2016 notice for the 

procedures for State and Tribal 

government routing agencies to update 

their Route Registry listings and contact 

information. 

The full current NHMRR for each 

State is posted on the FMCSA’s website 

at: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/

Route Order Key 

Each listing in the NHMRR includes 

codes to identify each route designation 

and each route restriction reported by 

the State. Designation codes identify the 

routes along which a driver may or must 

transport specified HM. Among the 

designation codes is one for preferred 

routes, which apply to the 

transportation of a HRCQ/RAM. 

Restriction codes identify the routes 

along which a driver may not transport 

specified HM shipments. Table 1 

presents information on each restriction 

and designation code.

[Docket No. FMCSA–2016–0050] 

Hours of Service of Drivers: 

Application for an Exemption From 

Cleveland-Cliffs Steel, LLC 

AGENCY: Federal Motor Carrier Safety 

Administration (FMCSA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of final disposition; grant 

of exemption. 

SUMMARY: FMCSA announces its 

decision to grant Cleveland-Cliffs Steel, 

LLC (Cliffs), formerly known as 

ArcelorMittal Indiana Harbor, LLC, 

exemption from the hours of service 

(HOS) that allows its employee-drivers 

with commercial driver’s licenses 

(CDLs) who transport scrap metal on 

two trucks between their production 

and shipping locations on public roads 

to work up to 16 hours per day and to 

return to work with less than the 

mandatory 10 consecutive hours off 

duty. The exemption is similar to the 

exemption that allows Cliffs’ drivers 

transporting steel coils to work the same 

HOS schedule. Unlike the steel coil 

exemption, the scrap metal trucks
